You are going to be looking for a hotel in Las Vegas and you'll be trying to rationalize paying less and hoping to get more. You'll compare prices and pictures and locations and soon find that you are very much confused and excited about your Las Vegas vacation. Let me help you make the decision, consider your needs, consider where you want to be while on vacation and then consider how you want to feel when you get back home.
After you think about it, you'll come to the conclusion that you want the very best possible option and then you'll begin to consider the Encore Las Vegas. Before you get excited, let me warn you, it's not cheap, however, you will get your money's worth. You will feel special and you definitely will leave so very happy. Pay the extra $50 per night and you get incredible accommodations, the very best customer service and a Las Vegas vacation that is simple casual elegance.
So what are you waiting for? Are you still considering that place with the crusty carpet and the dirty ducks that offers a free buffet with your stay? Remember, in Las Vegas you get what you pay for. What is it that you want?

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.

The art of spending an entire day at the sports book is a finely crafted talent. You have to gauge your consumption of alcohol, time your restroom breaks and keep yourself fed. It's not easy so you need some resources to aid in your quest to watch every game and Las Vegas sports books can do that for you.
This time of year all we really need is a place to sit around and watch sports all day long. A few big screens, some good food, a few beers and some friends. Take that simple formula and add Las Vegas excitement. Add in the ability to put a few bucks on the game. Add in a server who smiles as she delivers your beer and snacks. Now toss in a room full of people all looking for the same experience and you have Lagasse's Stadium at Palazzo Las Vegas.
Sports book, sports bar, lounge and restaurant all combined into one central location where the fanatic can truly enjoy the big games. College football, pro football, baseball and hockey all at once!
What are you doing? There is very little reason for you to be watching any game on that tiny 19 inch box sitting in your living room. Put on some pants, check your t-shirt for stains and then get to the Las Vegas strip for a day long journey into watching sports and having fun.
Do you need to know what is on the menu, I almost forgot, Emeril Lagasse will keep the game day celebration going with the New Orleans inspired cuisine that is perfect for all sports fans. Lagasse's Stadium at Palazzo Las Vegas is Heaven for the sports fanatic.
Start planning your trip to Las Vegas by researching prices with Expedia.com and Southwest Airlines Vacations. They should give you a good idea of what you can expect to spend on a Las Vegas vacation.
