I can't believe such a pretty place could exist an hour away from the strip.  Hands down, Red Rock Canyon is my favorite spot in Las Vegas.  We came as the sun was setting and it was AMAZING and very romantic.  

There are many hiking trails but it was…More »

There's nothing extra small about XS.  Everything was over the top and very classy.  The line to get in gets ridiculously long.  Good thing we stayed in Wynn and got VIP passes.  We got in and got stamped at 8:30pm, went back to our room to party and…More »

The last time we stayed at Wynn, we received complimentary tickets to see Le Rêve.  We really enjoyed the show but I can understand why some people might not like it.  The show is like a dream - the story is a little vague and surreal. The transition…More »

KÀ was the first Cirque du Soleil show I've seen, the first time I visited USA (before I decided to move permanently).  It has interesting story, gorgeous music and costumes and amazing choreography and stage.  I really liked how there are giant…More »

Zumanity is a highly entertaining show.  It's sexy and intense one minute, dirty and funny the next.  This is the only show where I was compelled to google the casts.  I really enjoyed the performance of Wassa Coulibaly's African dance.  It was the…More »

Tryst and XS are two of my favorite clubs in terms of setting.  Tryst is a more intimate version of XS but because it is smaller, it's sexier and more chic.  Great club for couples!

XS definitely got the look/vibe and Marquee got the sound.  They really do have the best DJ's in town.

Even though we scored VIP passes, BF still had to pay $40. He only got $5 off.

I refused to take the stairs and waited what seemed like an eternity…More »

Finding a parking spot at this mall can be a nightmare.  It's because there are so many cool stores with great discounts that it's so hard to leave!  Sign up for VIP club for additional discount coupons.  Some merchants will accept coupons on already…More »

Stayed at Wynn for 3 nights and really enjoyed it.  The layout of the hotel was not as confusing as other hotels and the interior was quite nice. Smooth check-in and hassle-free check-out.

When I bought the Groupon deal, I didn't realize how far Tenaya Creek Brewery was located.  Good thing we were already getting bored roaming endlessly in the strip.

Inside, the bar was very smoky even though I only saw 2-3 people smoking.  After…More »

Lots of shops and restaurants but the layout was a bit confusing.  This outdoor mall is very clean and shoppers were all dressed nice.  Unlike other locations, there was no wait at all at Tix 4 Tonight.

Thai Style Noodle House definitely has a hole in the wall vibe.  We had NH style pot stickers and Panang Avocado with both Shrimp and Salmon.  Pot stickers were different from other Asian-style pot stickers I've had.  The taste and texture was very…More »

There's always something interesting to see in Las Vegas.  The night BF and I went to Golden Steer, we saw a man pick up a streetwalker in the parking lot.  The interesting part was that, the street walker was an old man and he was wearing pink…More »

Very well organized and really cheap clothes but unfortunately, I didn't find any cute slutty clothes that I came here for.

Also, I didn't like how they didn't have private dressing rooms.

Buffet @ Asia? Buffet @ China more likely.  

Not a bad place if you like inexpensive Chinese food.

The servers are not friendly but they're quick, helpful and very attentive.  The pay-for-lunch-stay-for-dinner trick doesn't work here.
