There are rites of passage in every culture around the world: bar mitzvahs, quinceaneras, the time your dad tells you that this is the last time he’s going to bail you out of jail — but this time is really the last time and he’s not kidding so don’t even try it, okay, kid? One…

I’ve got to be honest, guys. I never expected to bring a dog to Vegas. Like cocktail bars and UFC fights, Vegas is no place for children or puppies but last week I found myself in need of a place to stay on the way to Park City, UT and Vegas was a perfect four-hour…

Truly Authentic Buffalo Wings Come to Vegas

Nowadays you can find Buffalo wings pretty much anywhere you go, but back in the day the only place you could find them was in Buffalo at the Anchor Bar, where the dish was first created. The Anchor Bar hasn’t taken advantage of their reputation as creators of wings like other famous food progenitors have…

When I was in Vegas for the incredible BoardingArea Conference (aka BACon) two weeks ago, I was treated to dinner at the brand-new Bazaar Meat at the SLS Hotel & Casino. If you’ve ever been to one of the Bazaars in LA or Miami before, you know they hit the sweet spot between traditional Spanish…

Buffet Review: SLS Buffet in Las Vegas

a group of food in containers

Vegas is a buffet town. When 99-cent all-you-can-eat options disappeared along with the Sahara, the luxury buffet took hold and now diners are paying upwards of $20 per person just for breakfast. The Bellagio Buffet, The Buffet at Wynn, The Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan, and the newly renovated Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace have…

While what happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, there’s one thing that Sin City just can’t contain within its neon-colored walls: traffic. If you’ve ever made the drive to or from LA, you know that traffic can stretch a four hour trip into a seven hour nightmare. With one road — I-15 — as…

As a follow-up to me earlier post about in-room dining at the new SLS Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, I thought you might want to see the actual menus. Here they are (including the Lux Dining menu which wasn’t anywhere to be found during my stay): FYI: These are all subject to change without…

In the future, paper will be obsolete. That’s partially because technology has replaced a lot of paper’s usefulness and partially because we’re not going to have trees in the future since Captain Planet is dead and gone. The brand new SLS in Las Vegas is clearly trying to get a jump on our paperless world…

A Park Grows in Vegas: Restaurants in MGM’s New “The Park”

a city with many buildings and trees

If you ever went to Vegas and thought “there just aren’t enough dining outlets here,” then fear not. First of all, I’m so sorry that the brain surgery went awry. Second, MGM is converting the space between New York-New York and Monte Carlo into an outdoor pedestrian park (called “The Park”) with a planned opening…
