Wing Lei at the Wynn Las Vegas. We had the Chef Richard Signature Dinner that features seven courses. The meal was a sensational taste experience. At $128 (before drinks), the final price tag is not for those faint of heart, but as an indulgence, this was a great experience. The staff, service and food quality were impeccable and what you [...]

February 28, 2008Rio
February 28, 2008The Rio is a great place to stay in Las Vegas. The all suite hotel/casino has several restaurants, a terrific buffet, a carnival and Penn and Teller. My room, the last time I stayed, was in the Carnival tower. The room featured a large wraparound sofa and television area with an adjoined bedroom (no walls [...]
Hilton Las Vegas
February 28, 2008If you are a convention attendee, this is the ultimate in convenience to the Las Vegas Convention Center. There is an interior walkway as well as being one monorail stop away from the convention center. I have not stayed at the property, but have heard good reviews.
The main part of the casino is old world Vegas with lots of shimmering glass [...]
Quarks
February 28, 2008Quarks – One of our favorite restaurants – I take everyone who visits to this restaurant. If you like onion rings you have to have the Tower of Betazed (it is a tour of onion rings with 3 dipping sauces). There is a tower of shots if you are into that. I highly recommend trying [...]
Fiesta Henderson
February 28, 2008The Fiesta Henderson is less than fifteen minutes from the airport on 215. It is mostly a locals casino. There is a movie theatre, food court, bingo hall and a cheap and tasty buffet (I think the lunch is less than $8 and is not much more in the evening). – I will write a [...]
Green Valley Ranch
February 25, 2008The Green Valley Ranch is located about 10 minutes from the airport in Green Valley/Henderson.
I have not stayed there, but have seen the inside of the rooms and would place them in the Marriott/Hilton category of hotel. The room looked very nice and had a nicely equipped bar to make martinis.
The pool area has a beach and the property [...]
The Plaza
February 25, 2008The Plaza is located at the end of Freemont Street. The rooms are usually cheap and if you all you need is a place to sleep, this place makes a decent home base. The rooms are equivalent to a Day’s Inn with no notable features. I have stayed there a couple times when I have [...]
Alexis Park
February 25, 2008Very nice all suite complex with several pools and a restaurant. It is a few blocks from the strip and walking distance to the Hard Rock Casino. If you have a rental car this is a great place to stay. The rate is very reasonable for the large room with a sitting area, refrigerator and [...]
Golden Nugget
February 25, 2008This is the nicest place to stay on Fremont Street. They added a shark tank at the pool and the slide runs through it. I am still working on my full review.
Getting Around Las Vegas
February 25, 2008Vegas is a city built around tourism and conventions—It’s designed to help large amounts of people go to various locations with relative ease. For example, after you’ve picked up your luggage at baggage claim at the airport, just head outside, go up to the booth and take a shuttle bus to your hotel (prices range [...]
