I came here last night (Saturday) and was very impressed with everything! It is the complete antithesis of the nightclub paradigm on The Strip. No wait in line, hassle, or cover charge to get in. Because of video games traditionally having a…More »

As someone who has enjoyed dancing most of my life, I never had any formal training in ballroom dance until last month. It is something I've always considered trying eventually. After doing my preliminary research on the Internet, Delgado Dance…More »

I've hiked and biked throughout various parts of Red Rock Canyon since 1999. This is a very scenic National Conservation Area that we're fortunate to have right in our own backyard here in Las Vegas! One key to enjoying this magnificent gift of…More »

This is hands-down my favorite place for breakfast in all of Las Vegas! My favorite flapjack is the mango coconut. All of the servings are enormous and jaw-dropping. They are served on plates that you can barely get your arms around. Everything is…More »

The quality of this place is second to none! Today, I brought my parents here for their first time, during the daily buffet from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm. It was my second time back, since attending the Yelp event here back in March. My parents and I were…More »

This place is everything the reviews crack it up to be. It is a one-of-a-kind, family-owned and operated business. The concept of blending Mexican and Korean flavors is very innovative and original.

During my first visit, I tried the fusion burrito…More »

This place makes me feel like I am in the 1996 cult classic film, Swingers, debuting Vince Vaughn, with of all the speakeasy lounge settings that it showcased. Particularly, the scene when they were at the Aku Aku tiki bar that used to be at the…More »

Recently updated lists from Ken M.

As Good As It Gets! (55)

These places never cease to amaze me with their outstanding products and service. They are at the very top of my list.

Secondhand Smoke-Easies (18)

Places with an unbearable level of second-hand smoke during peak times. My list is short because I avoid them in the first place. Typically, this involves walking in, then turning around and walking right back out. Unfortunately, Nevada currently has one of the weakest indoor smoking bans in the nation. Cigarette smoking dominates here! It's the number one reason why I don't plan to live in Nevada much longer.

Most Original (from Aces & Ales to Zowie Bowie) (87)

Not only are these places one-of-a-kind, they are in a league of their own. No copycats here.

Long-Winded Reviews (51)

These are the longest and most thorough reviews I have written so far, for better or worse.

My Top 5 of Las Vegas (5)

These are the top five picks from my reviews, ranked in order.

Cherished Gems & Hidden Treasures (24)

Places which are favorites of mine and of people I know, often for a special weekly event.

Better Places to Meet Chicks in Vegas (42)

Places where girls are more approachable than in a typical nightclub or other meat market.

Favorite Places to Dance (22)

Places where you hardly have to wait in line and pay little or no cover--at least if you're a guy! These places also have the mildest incidence of sausagefests. Here, girls actually dance with guys!

Partner Dancing Places (23)

So you think you can dance? These popular nightspots serve as social outlets for various genres of partner dancing. Here in Las Vegas, Country-Western dancing, Latin dancing, and swing dancing are among the most common.

Passed the Test of Time (70)

Legendary spots in Vegas which never made it into the museum of popular places that came and went. Much of what is popular today, will be gone tomorrow, but these long-standing icons show no sign of ever dying out.
