Yuuuuuum.

So, we came here on a Thursday night just before closing.  Sounds stupid as I write it but we had just arrived after a long day of work and travel and we were hungry.  I realize we would have had much better offerings on a weekend day and…More »

Friendly salespeople and lovely selection.

They happily cleaned my diamond key and were willing to also clean my engagement ring that isn't from Tiffany.  That's customer service!

With several Tiffany locations in the area, I would highly recommend the…More »

Good food.  Worst service in Vegas.

This would have been a solid 4-star review had it not been for our server.  I found him off-putting from the start in a way I couldn't quite pinpoint.  Throughout the meal, however, he was absent at best and rude at…More »

I'm a Keller-phile so a stop at Bouchon Bakery is necessary.

Best macarons ever.  I was hemming and hawing about which flavor to get when my sweet fiancé gently asked me who I was kidding.  I rolled my eyes and asked for the box of 6 assorted flavors.…More »

Otto wasn't on my Vegas food-genda but was a delicious surprise!

On our last day in Vegas, we found ourselves hungry and tired in the Venetian at lunchtime.  I didn't have the energy to trek back towards Bouchon so we scanned the Otto menu and were…More »

Excellent restaurant.  Rounding my 4.5 stars up to 5.

Sexy ambiance.  Lovely, low lighting and a fabulous view of the Bellagio fountains and the strip.  

Absolutely beautiful service.  Our server and every runner and busser were friendly and classy.…More »

What is not to love about the Paris?  It's about as pretty as Vegas gets (meaning it's still totally cheeseball but in the best possible way!)

Our room was lovely - comfy bed, huge TV and smoke free.  Access to shops, restaurants, "Wheel of Fortune"…More »

Who wants to pay $6 to cross the Bay Bridge and overpay for bruschetta?  There are fantastic restaurants right here in the EB!
