4.0 star rating
  11/18/2010 ROTD 12/6/2010

In the continuing effort to find the "unique and unusual" around Vegas and slightly beyond, my adventures led me to this place for an event.

Don't be surprised if you're driven past this on your travels to Red Rock.  You wouldn't think much about it,…More »

  3/24/2011 ROTD 6/13/2011

This place is *bleeping* good.

It's hard for me to not describe this particular restaurant without the use of expletives to get my point across, but holy *bleep*, this food is incredible!

Located just before the main gate, this little restaurant is…More »

  3/5/2009 ROTD 7/8/2009

I found Buffet @ Asia (so hip with their "L33T Speak") to be merely okay.  Nothing exceptional, but a decent selection.

A few observations I noticed while here:

While they did have a fairly diverse sushi line-up, regardless of the fish on top, or the…More »

Category: Bars

Neighbourhood: Downtown

4.0 star rating
  2/27/2011 ROTD 3/30/2011

I think entry into the Downtown Cocktail Room is designed as something of an IQ test set to weed out only the intelligent (and lucky) customers.  It took me a minute or two to figure out which part of the dark wall is the actual door.  While I am…More »

Neighbourhood: Eastside

5.0 star rating
  3/17/2012 ROTD 5/11/2012

This ranks high on one of the most amazing and unusual culinary adventures that I've ever had.

A friend tipped me off that this chicken place was opening this week.  I so wanted to go, but I had another gig, and figured that I'd miss out.  As it so…More »

Neighbourhood: Northwest

5.0 star rating
  8/24/2011 ROTD 11/18/2011

I collect old video game systems, and as you can guess, they're not as easy to come by these days.

Like an idiot, I followed a DIY (Do It Yourself) that I found online to clean the screen of an Atari Lynx, and it went bad.  It went really bad.

5.0 star rating
  4/15/2011 ROTD 8/28/2011 First to Review

I went to a "soft opening" this evening, the night before the official, full evening, and with that in mind (as with any new business), there are hiccups, but it went well overall, and any critique I make is in the interest of the place actually…More »

 8. Raffles Cafe

Categories: Diners, American (Traditional)

Neighbourhood: The Strip

5.0 star rating
  4/14/2010 ROTD 4/28/2010

If you decide to dine here, get a window seat, it's actually very peaceful with all of the plant life.

That said, we were about to see a show tonight, so we were unfortunately pressed for time.  The waitstaff took that into consideration, and made…More »

  11/19/2011 ROTD 1/31/2012 First to Review

I heard about this place online just today.  They opened not too terribly long ago, but when I heard the name of the store and what type of business it was, there was no question that I was bound to go soon, and by "soon", I mean "immediately".…More »

Recently updated lists from Guy C.

The Graveyard. (13)

Places around Las Vegas that are (for better or for worse) no longer with us these days.

Get Your Geek On. (30)

Geekdom requires only the best of spots around.

Hidden Gems. (33)

Seen it all?  Nothing "New" or "Creative" to spark your need for something a little different?  Here are a few unusual spots in and around town.

Non-Strip Dining. (45)

Dependable meal (and treat) choices in and around Vegas that are off-Strip.

Best Eclectic Bars. (15)

Quirky bars in and around Vegas without the mega-expensive drinks and the sterile, pretentious environment.

Non-Strip Entertainment. (19)

There are actually all kinds of unusual and different things to see and do in Vegas past what's offered on The Strip.

The Fremont Street Experience. (19)

Old-school, touristy, and cheap.  What more does one need in order to live the "Vintage Vegas" dream?

Be Good To Yourself. (4)

A list of decent massage places and spas that are actually legit, and not thinly veiled covers for "Happy Endings" (You know who you are, you naughty boots).

Yelp Events. (25)

Official and non-official, there's quite a few adventures to be had.

Boulder City. (6)

A little "getaway" spot when one needs to escape the crazy of Vegas.
