We are interested in eating in Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare for our anniversary and my wife loves seafood but I’m a vegetarian. I checked the Wynn website but they don’t list the vegetarian menu. Is there a website that provides their veggie menu or can you tell us what is on it?

Regarding the 2-10-2012 QoD concering the Hilton sign: I recall reading many stories through the years where it is stated that virtually all Las Vegas casino signs are made by YESCO (Young Electric Sign COmpany), and their manufacturing contracts are written in such a way that YESCO is the permanent owner of the sign. I recall that the YESCO "salvage" yard is 10 times as large as what the Neon Museum has, and is several miles outside of town. Is there any truth to this?
