Ken "Mastermindancer" M.'s Profile

ROTD Résumé

Reviews that I have written which have earned "Review of the Day" honors. You never know if, when, or which one of your reviews will be chosen. It is a nice surprise when it happens.

1. Aces & Ales

3740 S Nellis Blvd

12/6/2009 ROTD 4/21/2010 First to Review

As a craft beer connoisseur, I recently began hearing this place mentioned in the craft beer community. When I checked out the website, I was amazed at their selection of craft beers. They have 14 beers on tap, mostly from notable domestic brewers…More »

8/23/2010 ROTD 9/24/2010

Over the years, this one-of-a-kind restaurant has become a locals favorite. The first business to occupy this standalone building, Graziano's has enjoyed increasing success. One of their more recent claims to fame is the ten-pound, monster pizza…More »

Category: Wine Bars

Neighbourhood: Southeast

6/11/2011 ROTD 2/12/2012

This is a great place for wine tasting. It was the first time I've experienced the stationary, high-tech carousels that serve wine samples. First, you get a magnetic card and load it up with money. Next, you grab a wine glass from the top of one of…More »

Las Vegas, NV 89104
(702) 731-5310

Category: Hot Dogs

Neighbourhood: Downtown

Update - 2/21/2011

In addition to the European bratwurst, I've now had the Chicago dog, with the delicious, bright green relish and poppy seed bun. I also had the foot-long hot dog with chili, which was very good. Of course, you can never go wrong with any of the…More »

Category: Breweries

1/30/2011 ROTD 3/26/2011 First to Review

This is the newest brewery to hit Vegas in recent years, and the only one that does a significant amount of contract brewing. Currently, it is only one of two breweries in Las Vegas--the other being Tenaya Creek Brewery--that bottles and sells its…More »

Category: Restaurants

Neighbourhood: Spring Valley

12/17/2010 ROTD 8/24/2011

This is a classic Las Vegas tavern, which currently has 3 locations, and has stood the test of time. The themed architecture and decor are very distinct, and therefore not your typical Vegas tavern. There is quite a variety of seating areas and…More »

5/10/2010 ROTD 7/10/2010

I have always loved the quality and uniqueness of this independent casino, one of the few that is not part of a conglomerate. The buffet has some of the best, homemade cookies a friend and I ever had! The Mexican restaurant, Mi Casa, has very…More »

12/6/2010 ROTD 6/4/2011

On the walk from Aria to Crystals, Todd English P.U.B. is prominently displayed, with large letters across the top that say "Public Urban Bar." Another one of those acronyms where the words were obviously chosen to fit the letters, regardless of how…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 10 of Las Vegas (10) These are the top ten picks from my reviews, ranked in order.	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.
