November is my mother’s birthday month, a fiery Scorpio, that like her daughter is an admirer of the beautiful, luxurious, and elegant things. Dinners are her specialty. She decorates the dining table so beautifully, completely transforming the space. She has a real talent for it, actually. You can only imagine what our Thanksgiving dinners look like. All dinners should feel this grand because to eat is a luxury not many can afford. Even if you just turn off all the lights and eat by candlelight with the finest bottle of chardonnay, you should do it. All the more reason for you to experience a lavish meal at the most extravagant restaurants to celebrate Thanksgiving in Las Vegas.
