Ventano

My buddy Delanie recently invited me to come to Ventano for lunch. This establishment in Henderson is known far and wide in the valley for it’s wonderful food, service, and ambiance. Although I had been to Ventano years ago, I had forgotten how great of an Italian place this is. Even though it’s a 45 [...]

The Carmel Room

Ahh, the ladies and friends LOVE the Carmel Room at the Rampart Casino because the atmosphere, service, and the menu are all as comforting as the name containing the word Carmel– which is pretty darned close to the word caramel! We dine at the Carmel room at least once a month to kick back [...]

Ladies Love Pancakes!

Ladies, if you have an Original Pancake House in your state and haven’t paid a visit you are missing maybe the best breakfast you’ve ever had at a restaurant. The OPH specializes in breakfast, particularly pancakes, and they cook it up right. This third generation, family-owned business has 100 franchises in many states and [...]

Naked Fish Sushi & Grill

Our buddy Amber suggested meeting at Naked Fish for sushi. We had been meeting at a very popular sushi place and had become somewhat disillusioned–needed to try something new! Naked Fish was surprising in a few different ways: atmosphere, menu, and pricing. First, the place is small, but cute, and cozy. I hadn’t been to [...]

Noodles at Bellagio

Since the majority of the patrons are Asian this leads us amateurs to believe that they serve the real thing at Noodles. [...]

Via Brasil Steakhouse

What a pleasant surprise we had on our recent visit to Via Brasil Steakhouse in Summerlin. As we suspected, it was an all you can eat experience with 16 different types of meats carved off of swords. The spin on it that we’ve never seen is a spiffy buffet set up with appetizers, veggies, salads, [...]

Ladies Love Breakfast

If you’re looking for a local favorite for breakfast, you can’t go wrong with the Cracked Egg! They serve up some of the best and most generous breakfasts from their 4 locations in the valley. Although the menu selections would not be considered cheap, the quality and uniqueness of the dishes more than makes up [...]

Viva Mercado’s

Upon the recommendation of our good buddy Courtney, we decided to pay a visit to Viva Mercado’s (named after owner Bobby Mercado) to check out their lunch menu. We had a couple of clues that it was going to be good: the large parking lot was packed, and the delightful cooking aroma wafting out [...]
