Despite its fearful name, Death Valley is one of the coolest, most amazing and beautiful places I have ever seen.
And the Timbisha Shoshone Indians who lived here for centuries before the first white man entered the valley knew all about it.

Largest Night Race in the World.
Shooting for titles is fine, we are runners, it is what we (they) do.
But you have to do it right. This event was so poorly organized that it was borderline dangerous, and overall extremely stressful and frustrating.…More »

What a wonderful playground.
If you go to Vegas, take the time to rent a car and go to this wonderful place; this is a real treat, better than any cupcake in the world. You don't even have to drive that far - it's literally located 10 min away from…More »
When you travel on a budget, less is more.
Less money spent on a hotel room = more money to spend on food and activities.
Here is where Gold Spike comes into the picture.
For around $25 a night, you get a room for two (smoking or non, you gotta love…More »
My only experience with buffets, pre-Vegas, were of the greasy Chinese sort. Sad looking food glistening under a weak light, not even trying to convince wannabe eaters of its worthiness.

When you walk for a little over two hours in the maze of the Strip casinos like a modern Daedalus AFTER running a half-marathon and almost being trampled by an angry crowd - you are HUNGRY.
And thirsty.
For beer, in my case.
We had set our views on Todd…More »
Burgers are probably one of my favorite foods in the whole wide world. I mean....bread, meat, cheese, and stuff - nothing better than that.
I crave them on a regular basis.
At least 4 times a day.
So while in Vegas, I looked for burgers. And my research…More »
Admittedly - I don't have much to say about the Aria buffet.....even though I had much to *eat* from it.
I guess that's really not fair.
Because it was good.
For under $30 for dinner, you have access to UNLIMITED crab legs. Both snow AND king. That…More »
A good, old style buffet with no surprises (well, actually the egg rolls were surprisingly tasty....I went back for more) but that offers a nice little perk on Sundays: "champagne" brunch.
For $11.95.
Excuse the quotation marks but the French in me is…More »
I didn't eat there so this is going to be sweet and short people:
If you find yourself thirsty and craving a beer while around the Venetian, this place is worth checking out: during happy hours (5-7 pm), Dos Equis drafts are $3 and margaritas (loaded…More »
Le Thai: quick, easy, simple (a dozen of dishes at most on the menu) and nothing much to write about.
Lunch specials are decent, and they stay open late.
For the rest - go and find out yourself!

I am usually not a big Thai food gal.
I will say it: I take Vietnamese over Thai any day of the week. Not even looking back, asking questions or wondering what I missed.
Because in my experience - I never really missed much.
Don't get me wrong; I enjoy…More »

Wow.
I mean W-O-W.
Drinking in a chandelier can be pretty dangerous if you are not doing it right. It's also best done with as few people as possible 'cause you never know - you may crash in a loud bang at any given minute, and I am not talking about…More »
