If you need a reason to eat in Las Vegas I can give you one. I constantly crave food and these are five dishes that you must consider when in Las Vegas. If you love to eat you will crave Las Vegas. I have no problem indulging, there is no shame in eating a little too much and i rarely leave my seat if there is still plenty of great food on the table.
From decadent desserts to lavish presentations I crave food in Las Vegas everyday and I try my best to eat everywhere. Go ahead, ask the question, "How do I still look so good?" I am genetically predisposed to eat as much as I want and my weight will be kept in check as long as I do not crave speedo swimsuits and a washboard stomach. That is a perfect trade off to being able to eat a lot of great food in Las Vegas.
So what am I craving? Currently these five restaurants are swirling around in my dreams.
- Dos Caminos at the Palazzo Las Vegas - Chips and Guacamole with a beer are really all I would need but how can I pass up on the carnitas tacos?
- Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace - This is the place where the calorie counting goes out the window. The portions are huge and the meals are decadent. This is the type of place you search for when you are on vacation.
- L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon - The L'Unique Menu at Le A'telier at the MGM Grand is where yo go when you want to indulge but you would hope to be a little more classy while doing it. You'll probably have a little too much wine so prepare yourself.
- Breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi at Paris Las Vegas - I never get tired of people watching in Las Vega and the patio at Mon Ami Gabi is one of the best places to do it. A cup of coffee and a pastry and I can waste away my morning enjoying the free Las Vegas Show.
- Wazuzu at Encore Las Vegas - I cannot say anymore good things about Wazuzu before they start linking me romantically with a server there. I cannot even take my wife to Wazuzu because she would instantly love me less because I could never create a dish that does so much for your eating experience. This is the place I could easily have everyday.

Alright, I get it, we are different. Guys are nuts and women are perfect. I understand, I've heard it before, in fact I hear it on a daily basis. My wife, the crossing guard, the mothers who give me that awkward look as I drop my child off at school. Women have Oprah and us guys we have...Dr. Phil? Really?
Defending the Caveman is a great explanation of the misconceptions that the world has of the complicated nuances of the human male. It is a journey through the scientific (not really) explanations of why we do the things we do. So much empirical data (hardly) is presented to help women understand how to understand the guy who holds the remote control, the animal who fails to pick up his socks and the neanderthal who cannot answer the simple question, "Does this make me look fat?"
Defending the Caveman is at the Excalibur Hotel and at $34.95 is a very entertaining show for a fraction of the cost of plenty of other shows in Las Vegas. The theater is not the best place to see a show but the performance will make you forget about the seating arrangements.

Sometimes you go on vacation and you spend so much time doing what everyone else does that you get home and you really have no stories to tell. "We ate at..., We saw..." yada, yada yada, what is the point if you don't experience something new? Las Vegas can be different, new restaurants, new hotels, new shows and always those experiences that you would rather not share with anyone back home. Of course, it's Las Vegas.
You can now do something that is very Las Vegas, Dive with Sharks at the Shark Reef Aquarium. Drop into a 1.3 million gallon aquarium with sharks gliding past you and wonder who would put a wetsuit and chain maille suit on in the middle of the desert. If you dive, Shark Reef Aquarium has an adventure for you.
You get an opportunity to learn so much about sharks and the huge part they play in the marine ecosystem. The Shark Dive program includes a guided tour of the Shark Reef Aquarium as well as a behind the scenes look at the inner workings of the aquarium and the effort that goes into providing a place to see, interact and learn about the various species at Shark Reef.
