Experience the Sexy Side of Las Vegas

Thursday July 9, 2009
Crazy Horse Paris If you are in Las Vegas there is a good chance you're looking to have the type of fun you can't find back home. If that's the case you will probably want to check out Crazy Horse Paris at the MGM Grand. 12 stunning dancers entertain you just as if you were in the Crazy Horse Cabaret in Paris. It is a light show, a dance show and a well choreographed display of sensuality.

Do You Need Sushi in Las Vegas?

Monday July 6, 2009
Yellowtail at Bellagio If I was allowed to (my wife can be brutal) and if my wallet could handle it (what stimulus package?)I would eat sushi and drink sake every day of my live. I would bathe with spicy tuna, pop a little unagi between my cheek and gum and implant wasabi into my taste buds. Alas, life is not perfect so I must pick and choose when to have my treats and lucky for me Las Vegas has plenty for me to choose from.

My definition of perfect sushi would have me on the deck of a catamaran off the coast of Kapalua with the West Maui Mountains in the distance. The fish would have just been caught and my hands would be filled with the simple ingredients that make the freshest of fish do a dance with the flavor receptors in my mouth. Once again, that would be too perfect for me. (Did I mention my wife?)

Las Vegas chefs have the perfect antidote to what ails my desires. The fresh fish comes in by the hour and the presentation at the sushi restaurants on the Las Vegas strip will delight you as they do me. If you want high quality sushi when in Las Vegas I have the answer for you.

Who Has The Best Wine List in Las Vegas?

Sunday July 5, 2009
winetowersmall.JPG If you love wine and you love to eat there really is no reason why you cannot have the best of both worlds in Las Vegas. These are some of the best places for wine in Las Vegas. I am a fan of the beefy reds from the Peidmont Region of Italy but you can find whatever your palate desires in Las Vegas. Aureole at the Mandalay Bay Resort is a Las Vegas must see with a huge wine tower that houses an incredible wine selection. The food is legendary and your evening will be dictated by the endless choices from their huge wine inventory.

So who has the best wine list in Las Vegas? I'm sure you can find a few places that you can consider your very best, if no see the Wine Spectator Award winners in Las Vegas.

Some of my favorite places to enjoy great wines:
