The Shark Aquarium at Mandalay Bay

If you’re looking for something delightfully touristy to do while you’re in Vegas (other than shop, eat and gamble,) I definitely recommend giving the Shark Aquarium a try. This place is really fun for people of any age. It takes at least an hour to get through the entire aquarium and really enjoy yourself, so…

Vegas Cold Comfort

We are coming up on the holiday season, and this post is aimed at those of you dear visitors who are planning a trip to our city over Thanksgiving or Christmas. This is to help you avoid a cold weather shock here in Vegas. There is somewhat widespread misconception that because Southern Nevada hits well…

Haunted Las Vegas

Probably Las Vega’s most well-known tour is the haunted one. The Haunted Las Vegas Tour and Show takes visitors on a bus tour through a handful of the city’s locations where many claim to have seen “something” that may be from beyond the grave. The tour is not your cheesy ghost amusement park ride; it…

Frugal Vegas

I’ve been a Vegas local for the past four years and counting, and I personally love it here. Given the current bad economy, many visitors often wonder how they can possibly enjoy our city on a tighter budget, without maxing the credit cards or otherwise breaking the bank. I’m going to be offering up a…

Las Vegas Hotels with Wifi

We often travel through Las Vegas either on the way to or from California or Idaho. I am a business traveler who relies on the Internet to do all of my work. Most hotels offer wifi access in the rooms with hidden charges. On the most recent trip we stayed at Whiskey Pete’s in Primm…

Champagnes

Looking for a unique and different local bar to check out? Or maybe you have been in Vegas for a bit, but are having a hard time finding a good and maybe a little strange bar to visit. Well down on Maryland Parkway, across from the Boulevard Mall there is a little local bar, called…

Sierra Gold

Off of South Jones and the 215 West there is Sierra Gold on the corner. If you live on this side of town and have not been there, check them out. Or if you are here to visit and over there, get in there and have some food and drinks. I enjoy going there because…

Rave Movie Theater

The Rave Movie Theater is located on the South end of Las Vegas Boulevard, in the Town Square outdoor shopping center. This has become my new favorite theater to go to. I like that it’s in Town Square and I can eat or shop a little before the movie starts, however if I don’t want…

Town Square, Check It Out

If you have ever been down the Las Vegas strip going South, you may now have seen a new outdoor shopping mall. If you are coming to Vegas, then you want to check this place out. Town Square, located on South Las Vegas Boulevard, right next to Fry’s and the entrance to the 215 West/I-15…

Great Vegas Restaurants – Carnevino, Sushisamba, Wazuzu

I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and dined at a number of fantastic restaurants. Here are some of the places I tried: Carenvino (in The Palazzo) – some of the best meat you’ll ever have. Most of the people in my party enjoyed the steak, but I tried the lamb and it was…

Planet Hollywood’s “Peepshow”

Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas has opened its newest show called Peepshow. Peepshow consists of a star-studded cast including Dancing With the Stars first-season winner Kelly Monaco and the Spice Girl’s Melanie Brown (Mel B. a.k.a. Scary Spice). Creator, director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell wanted to create a big-budget production which mixes…

There are tons of things on the Vegas strip designed to separate visitors from their money, but there are also some really cool things to see and do that don’t cost an arm and a leg. One of these is the lion habitat at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. The lion habitat features lions…

Cirque du Soleil – Vegas!

It’s funny … I’m not attracted to Vegas for the casinos, the drinking, the gambling, or the partying … its the shows … and my most favorite show, now installed as a permanent hotspot in Vegas, is Cirque du Soleil. I first experienced this mysterious and magical eye-splintering array of fantastic feat-defying awe in their…
