CLOSED SUNDAY! I've been burned twice now by Yelp with wrong hours, oddly enough, both at Greek places on Sunday. Lesson learned-call first...

I love the bright, cheerful blue and white interior and the beautiful, genuinely friendly waitresses here.…More »

Best meal I've had in months!

We came for the magical Tecopa hot springs water, but being able to have an impeccable meal in the middle of the the desert took our experience from just fine to stellar.  

The offerings are deceptively simple: ravioli,…More »

Having something so naturally majestic this close to Vegas is surreal. It reminds me of mini Capital Reef, one of my favorite places on the planet.

We didn't have enough time to fully discover the hidden treasures, but did see some tortoises and a…More »

The rooms are beautiful and the bathroom was spectacular. White marble with a deeeep soaking tub. Reminded me of the W with a bit more warmth.  No complaints with the room, except...they have great little reading lights by the bed. Downside? The…More »

Chang's was a pleasant surprise. Hunger pangs hit on the way to Red Rock, and this place was packed at 2 on a Weds afternoon.

Ok, this isn't SF or NYC or Richmond/Vancouver, so because I wasn't expecting perfection, I found the food to be quite good.…More »

A desert road from Vegas to nowhere...I'm starting to feel like I'm in a surreal movie, and I love it.

Amazingly fresh organic food and a perfect espresso were a surprising  birthday present. David's beautiful spirit flows through the tiny cafe. There…More »

This was a great stop in the trio of goodness between Tecopa Hot Springs and C'est Si Bon. Ok, that didn't really make sense, but these are 3 really cool places that are not far from each other...

Great yard art and picnic tables outside. Dozens of…More »

More of a mini motel compound than a resort, but a magical oasis I will return to any time I'm any where near Vegas.

We stayed the night at the hotel the night before heading into Death Valley, and the waters are amazing in the mineral spring.  The…More »

We came here for a birthday dinner, and overall, it was disappointing. Just say NO-to omakase. It's a rip-off. Nothing was really special or unusual. Most items were from the menu.

The best thing out of several courses was the black cod, and although…More »

$20 for coffee and pastries is criminal. The pastries were worth it, but $5 coffee hurts.

Yes, I know, it's Vegas-I should just open my wallet and spill the contents into the street, because I know I'll be coming home broke anyway.

Cheers~
