the BEST decision we made in vegas FOR SURE.

I've seen "O", "Zumanity", and "Corteo" so these are my basis of comparisons.
"O" is by far the most intricately designed, and most artistically complex of all the ones I've seen so far, and so well-executed.
I'd give "O" a 5, "Corteo" a 4, and…More »

I remember the sausages to be meatier and juicier in Germany.

Not a strip show.
For some, when they think of zumanity, they may think of sex, sex, sex, fantasy, strip show, sex, sex.
It's really not. It's like any other cirque show but with less stunts (or variety of stunts - no throwing/ catching people,…More »

i'd give it zero stars if i could but here's why we (yes, all four girls) hated this restaurant.

Chicken Killers' Haven (20)On the quest for the best chicken! Growing up in Bolivia, where the chicken were injected with syringes full of spices and butter to make sure the juices were locked into the chicken, I admit that I'm a little spoiled and picky when it comes to good, juicy chicken. For a chicken to be awesome, the meat has to be juicy and flavorful and it has to be tender enough to fall off the bones without using a knife. Here's a list of chicken places that does this for me (hooray) or comes close (i.e., it does this for others but i have to go back a few times to see if it could earn another star for me). |
