This is one of the more reliable restaurants to visit when in LV. Sure, it's kind of tired, seeing as there is one in almost every state, but that's what makes it a must visit since the majority of restaurants on the strip are either a vat of…More »

I strongly dislike those canvas totes in the 'Le Pliage' line with leather trimmings that seemed to be a recurring trend around 09/10, another laughable way luxury companies tempt aspiring customers into their brand through the cheapest means…More »

I stayed here on my last visit to LV, and it's a great hotel for the location. It's right on the Strip and just a short walk away from Bellagio, Caesar's Palace and Paris.

When I visited Bally's it was just before the summer and they hadn't reopened…More »

Best Crepe option on the strip!

You can dine in this little pastry shop and get the full view of their sculptures and trippy cakes, or take it to go and explore the Bellagio and its fine pool area(s). The plastic pewter cutlery here looks a lot like…More »

This is a pretty good option for food on the strip, specifically for those who aren't up for the heavy drinking and the binging that follows. I'm not specifically a healthy eater, but my trip to Vegas made me return feeling like one.

Run. Far away. Just get away from here.
This place seems to believe that all tourists in LV are too hungover to know what they're eating or actually have taste buds in working order.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of options here, just nothing…More »

Neighbourhood: The Strip

  8/19/2010

Let me start by saying, I am in no way a label whore (I prefer not to purchase anything with a logo), nor am I a Marc Jacobs fan. I find his entire brand image pedestrian and contrived to suit the aspirational market (just like Louis Vuitton).

This is about a 7 minute shuttle( and by 'shuttle' I mean full-sized bus) ride away from Terminal 2, The shuttle driver is very helpful with baggage handling.

It's a pretty smart idea to assimilate the rental centers at one spot to eliminate the…More »

Montblanc pens are easily the best luxury pens out there, -easy on the eyes and the paper. I always make it a point to come out here and peruse luxury watches in the Forum Shops and then dabble in writing utensils for the high rollers, pun intended.…More »

I really like Nordstrom. Unusually, this is not an ode to the massive (and I really mean massive) shoe collection, but for the great service and selection offered in their contemporary womens clothing and sleepwear department.

There is a well-chosen…More »

3.0 star rating
  2/21/2012

When you end up in Vegas without a car it feels like a major inconvenience. Especially when your life doesn't include gambling and an excess of alcohol it becomes a huge setback to rely on greasy spoons and lunchtime tequila on the strip. A car seems…More »

This review is strictly for the Casino and grounds.

Sure Flamingo is an anchor on the Strip with its history and flashy signage, but I think that's where the question lies; better to burn out than fade away? It's already faded. The casino reeks of…More »

Neighbourhood: Southeast

3.0 star rating
  2/22/2012

Town Sq LV is an outdoor shopping center located about 10 minutes (by car) South of the strip. It's a great place to spend some time away from the hustle and noise of the circus life.

This shopping center has a few restaurants, Fry's, Whole Foods,…More »

Like many others before me, I, too enjoyed the casino-less hotel ambiance. It's very relaxing and calming to enter a pristine building free of the stimulants and lights that make you never want to sleep in LV.

Being here before the pools open,…More »

I'm definitely not a fan of buffets but when in Rome (kinda thing). I came here on a Sunday night and did some major damage. This is easily the best buffet on the strip. The line up wasn't too bad at around 10 minutes, and the buffet definitely…More »

I tried Tacos El Gordo in anticipation of a great, quick meal through the rave reviews on Yelp. I'm not one for cow tongue, brain, shoulder, intestines or any other body part. So naturally a wait of over 15 minutes in a very confusing system, (half…More »

I am an avid Soondubu enthusiast and Mr.Tofu and I are romantically involved.

The 5 banchan were amazing, I loved the fermented veggies and spicy potatoes in addition to the cabbage, but not so much the bean sprouts. I loved even more that our dishes…More »
