360 Vegas Review: LINQ Promenade Summer 2014
Saturday Oct 08, 2016
Saturday Oct 08, 2016
Las Vegas’ continuing success is its ability to reinvent itself when the market needs it to. Unlike urban developments in established cities, Vegas doesn’t venerate the old, the past or history in general. Nothing is so sacred that it can’t be imploded to make way for the next thing. While it can be sad to lose that history, it is unarguable that for Vegas, it works.
As much as I’ve fallen in love with the cities history, it was it’s current incarnation that drew me to it for the first time. Properties like Luxor, Excalibur, NYNY and Paris are what caught my attention and cultivated the desire to experience Las Vegas. In a very short period of time, I’ve learned about her history and enjoyed her evolution.
That brings us to now and Vegas’ current incarnation, retail. It started with shopping malls and have transformed into outdoor dining and shopping experiences. The Linq promenade was a brand new experience to the market and has already been mimicked by Bally’s Grand Bazaar and MGM’s The Park. Vegas properties are finally understanding that the guests of today aren’t trying to get out of the desert heat; they want to spend lots of time in it.

360 Vegas Review: Jean George Steakhouse @Aria Summer 2014

Is there anything more rewarding that a great steak dinner? Of course I can't speak for the whole world but there is something very American about steak. It seems to embody what it feels like to be successful. Like a beer at the end of hard days work, steak is how you cap off a special occasion and steak makes an occasion special.
So you agree, steak is great; but have you ever had a steak in Vegas? Vegas steaks make the exceptional ordinary and boring, actually disappointing. We’ve actually described a steak as “good I wasn’t eating it in Vegas”. Vegas offers steaks like you didn’t know it could taste in dining environments that actually somehow compliment the dining and elevate the experience. If you can only do it once in your life, do your homework, pick wisely and treat yourself.

360 Vegas Review: YardHouse @LINQ Promenade Spring 2014

Vegas is all about unique experiences and YardHouse is
no exception. Great food, an epic beer selection and a choice location to take
in the majesty of the High Roller observation wheel in LINQ's promenade. At
first glance you may think this is just another gastropub and you'd be right
but this is one of the good ones.
Two stories with a 2nd floor, outdoor patio, located
at the eastern most part of the promenade at LINQ, YardHouse has, what is known
as, a prime location. If you only experience one dining establishment in the
LINQ promenade, it needs to be YardHouse.
In fact we felt so highly about it, that we feature it as the kick off
even to 360 Vegas Vacation 2.

360 Vegas Review: Lemongrass @Aria Spring 2014

Thai food has a
reputation for being some of the hottest cuisine on the planet, Asian food with
a kick. The concept has always intrigued
but as with most new foods, the vast collection of things featured in their
dishes intimidated.
Enter Keren, Vegas, Aria
and Lemongrass, the perfect storm to inspire food experimentation. It’s also the only Thai restaurant on the
Vegas strip so clearly the options are limited.
Prepare to have your senses stimulated as Thai food is an art form. It’s dishes feature at least 3 of the 5 of taste
senses; sour, sweet, salty, bitter and spicy, in each dish with a grand plan to
visit them all making a harmonious finish.

Random Vegas
Bliss Dance at MGM’s The Park complex is
40 feet tall and weighs 7500 lbs (@MGMResortsIntl). While she does light up at night, the internal
LED lights she was built with are not being used. She’s lit up by external color lighting.
Twitpic of the Trip
It’s fitting that the
art center piece of The Park in Vegas is a 40 foot tall nude women. Never has metal mesh looked so sexy. The twitpic of the trip captured her sultry
movement with the Monte Carlo, as she is currently known as, as a back
drop. While she is large, the angle we
found gave her the impression that she could be almost as large as the hotel
itself. Prediction time, if MGM still
owns the name “THE Hotel” formerly at Mandalay Bay, now Delano's, Monte Carlos
new name will be “THE Hotel at the Park”.

360 Vegas Review: Tilted Kilt @Linq Promenade Spring 2014
Saturday May 21, 2016
Saturday May 21, 2016
It should be the most embarrassing example
of how simple-minded the male sex is.
Beer, simple food and scantily clad women serving you is a sure fire way
to be a successful bar/restaurant. It’s
like one stop shop for the male id.
Luckily the concept
has evolved over the years and improved in just about every way from the Hooters
model. Uniforms have moved on from orange
spandex to plaid school girl skirts and tiny mountain gear. But ever better than that, the food has
improved and a concept as simple as offering lots of variety in the beer
offerings have found their way into the tits and ass and food and booze game.
Tilted kilt is one of
the later. TheIr latest incarnation in
Vegas can be found in the Linq Promenade and while they don’t offer outdoor
seating, the space takes advantage of the atmosphere in Linq with open air
seating and a bar located right by those windows. A more intimate experience
can be had on the second floor for those who desire it.
