Ichiza Japanese Restaurant & Sake House

This restaurant was recommended by a local gal who worked at one of the hotels on the strip. The hubby asked where she went to eat Japanese food & she said Ichiza. We agreed it was a great local japanese eatery. It's a little hole in the wall and is always busy. If you are having a party of 4 or more, I definately suggest you call ahead for reservations. By the way, next door there is a great bakery. It's located just 10 minutes off the strip in Vegas' chinatown district. Open late night till 3 in the morning. 4355 Spring Mountain Road

Playing with the Queen of Hearts

My second Royal Flush ever and it could not have happen at a better time. If you notice all I held was a lonely queen of hearts. This was at the Venetian, at Peter's bar. What I bought to remember this Royal Flush, a swarovski Ace of hearts case. This is perfect for carrying my ID, credit card, and cash... ready to hit the town.

Spago's @ Caesars

As much as we frequent the Forum shop's year after year, for some reason we have never gone to Spago's for lunch. My, what we have been missing. Great service and delicious entrees. We will definitely be back again.

Serendipity 3

The newest iconic New York restaurant to hit Las Vegas in the Spring of 2009. I was so excited to finally get a taste of that famous Frozen Hot Chocolate. Maybe if I had hit the big ole' jackpot I would have indulged in the $1000.00 Golden Opulence Sundae.

The frozen hot Chocolate blends 20 different kinds of chocolate into an icy, rich cocoa flavor.

Vending Machine

..with alcohol. Hmmm. what other states or countries do it like Vegas. Bud Light with Clamato's anyone?

Hash House A Go Go

Yes, I know this is not a very appealing photo of my before and after breakfast here. The servings are enormous. I really wanted to try the chicken and waffles, but they do not serve it till 11....oh well next time we'll try again

It's Been Awhile

February to be exact. I am so excited to be going soon. Already decided where I will be enjoying my ice cream!! Serendipity 3 here I come. Located at Caesar’s, I am just counting down the days. Yes, days, not months for those of you coming along. What should I try first? I will definitely have the frozen hot chocolate. There is also the $1000.00 sundae which is way out of my reach in dollars, but hey who knows, we are in Vegas, anything can happen!! Candy Cotton apple martini sound good as well. So excited.

30 Million +, no more...

Someone has hit the mega bucks this evening. I last checked and noticed it was down to 10M. Oh well can't say I didn't try. I had a feeling it was going I hit soon. Just wish it was me!!

Hogs & Heifers

What a fun bar. Not for the faint of hearts. If you're easily offended by foul language and obnoxiously crazy behavior, I warn you this is not a bar for you. Dubbed the original Coyote Ugly. It's a great local bar to hang out. Located downtown by Lady Luck. It opens at 1pm, although the website reads otherwise, we killed some time and ventures back. It was worth every minute. Our bartendress was a great host. Getting us all partied up within a hour. (we were parked at the meters) which was actually a good thing otherwise who know what time we would have stumbled out of there. Shots were rolling out and beers caps were poppin' when the bull horn amplified clear the bar cause I’m gonna dance for you all. So the famous bar top Coyote Ugly dance was on and cheers kept a going while she did her thing. Although there were only 6 people at the bar and that included the 3 of us. There definitely was a party going on!!! Absolutely fun times. Now can you imagine it at happy hour and during prime times, how crazy it would be?? We'll definitely need to check it out.

My First Yellow Chip

Craps is definitely a fun, fast and intimidating game and till this day, I still completely do not understand the whole game of it all. But what a fun and exciting game it is. We made friends at the table as we caught three long rollers!! I told her my goal was to one day collect a yellow chip. ...and wouldn't you know it tonight was the night and I got two.

Tequila's @ Yolo's at Planet Hollywood

Yolo’s Mexican restaurant located in Planet Hollywood. They have great chips and salsa. This time we had a few Tequila’s. Now this is not the shoot um’ and slam the shot glass and suck the lime Tequila’s. These are more sipping Tequila’s. Still new to all the different Tequila’s out there. I am a fan of Don Julio 1942.

Good Morning Las Vegas

How beautiful to wake up and see the sunrise knowing that you'll be touching down in a few minutes and ready for Sin City

I Love 4 of A Kind's

Hickory's Best

Since my old fav is no longer being sold at the shop. We found a new Beef Jerky Store. This one I like best. It has a bit of spice which ad such great flavor. I say no to the Hickory's Best Teriyaki flavor. I have yet to try the many others that they have to offer. They have Adobo Jerky to Alligator and Ostrich Jerky. Although, I miss the good old Bass Pro Shop buffalo jerky. It is readily available for sale back home.

My favorite Omiyage

So these Cranberry Nougats are my favorite amongst the variety of flavors they have. Blueberry, Almond, Orange, Maple, and Coffee. I tried the variety bag, because purchasing each flavor would run me broke!! It's like $9.00 a box. So those of you Lup Chong lovers, these are the best. I always need to go DT and pick up a supply. Yes, Supply!!

Yippy!!

Yes, it's the same machine. Remember this post is late, so actually the one you saw previously is actually the one that hit again.

The Meridian

The Meridian Condos. A gated complex behind the strip.

Pool View

After two years of Video Poker, the Royal Flush has graced my presence at the Bellagio.
