"Good & Bad"

Dinner at Nobu was supposed to be a highlight of our "acting like a visitor" experience a few weekends ago but turned out to be a disappointment. The food was wonderful, as we expected, but deafening rock music and closely packed tables spoiled the evening.

We had to shout to converse with each other across the small table, and the staff were having trouble understanding orders over the noise. The restaurant was the antithesis of zen-like calm; perhaps reasonable given its location in the Hard Rock, but a disappointment if you've eaten at other Nobus and are expecting a similar, upscale experience.

The other people in the restaurant were very hot and fun to look at but to even try and carry on small talk with someone quite near was problematic. The bill ($110 for 2) was about half what we'd anticipated based on Nobu meals elsewhere though, so it's excellent value for money.

"It's Rockin'!"

This is a party hotel and even though we are locals we wanted to try it out. As soon as you walk in, you can sense the party atmosphere. Is not as snotty as other places so we really felt comfortable in this hotel!

It is definitely a younger crowd, so if you're over 30-something you might not like this place much; also if you don't really like the party atmosphere, well, you won't like it either!.. pink taco was real good and mr luckys as well!
Also I had a great time at Body English! we even got some free drink tickets by one of the promoters of the club and even got escorted to the front door of the club by one of the bouncers!! I will definitely go back again!

Everyone was very nice and helpful; check in was quick too. The room was very nice and clean and modern! Love the plasma! And the cd player in the room!!

"Not much change"

We took a trip to the Palomino Club thinking that the new owner might have classed the place up a bit. It doesn't look like much has changed.

The Palomino Club is the only Las Vegas strip club that features full nudity and also has a full liquor license. It's located pretty far north on Las Vegas Blvd., in North Las Vegas so it's not a quick trip. Unfortunately, the girls aren't really worth the trip. Most are somewhat out of shape and nearly all have that "pooch" on their belly. Since you get to see more exposure at this club maybe that's ok but so many of them looked like they were "on something" that we were very disappointed.

The crowd was all male and had that frat house atmosphere. The dancers avoided us like the plague so we never got a dance. Our waitress was cute and friendly, however, and the female bartender was nice, too (as was the big doorman up front).

We decided to go upstairs to check out the male dancers. The men are in much better shape than their female counterparts and seemed friendlier. The place was packed full of large, rowdy women having lots of fun. The dancers are all black and most are pretty good dancers with a few being amazingly limber. They never danced nude on the stage but we heard they do if the price is right. They get naked for $40 lap dances.

There are much better strip clubs for couples to go to see hot female dancers. For male dancers we preferred Olympic Gardens but this one wasn't bad, especially if your tastes are for black men.

"We Like This Place"

I know it's not the trendiest place in town but we always have fun here. Perhaps because it doesn't try to cater to the 20-something hotties all the time like many of the other clubs do. We seem to find more fun couples here, maybe because they are mid-30's, early 40's which are fine with us.

And now that they have remodled it it's even better. We don't go here all the time but when we do we remember why we like it.

"We Always Enjoy S&M, I Mean S&W"

While there are quite a few steak houses in Las Vegas we keep coming back to Smith & Wollensky. The hosts at the front always remember us (even if it's been a few months) and the workers are always very friendly.
Because of it's location (on the Strip, down from the MGM) it's a good place to meet out-of-towners. We will often meet them in the bar in the front and have a drink before moving to the table.
It's a huge restaurant so you can almost always get a table, even if there's a large convention in town. So, if you can't find a place that has room for you, remember this restaurant.

The steaks are always great and we love their crabcakes. We also buy bottles of their steak sauce as it's better than any we've tried.

The worst thing about S & W is getting to it as sometimes the Strip is so busy with cars and pedestrians that it can take awhile to get into the place.

Other than that minor inconvenience, S&W is an old standby we keep coming back to.
