360 Vegas Review: Lemongrass @Aria Spring 2014
Saturday Jul 30, 2016
Saturday Jul 30, 2016
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.

So many of us dream of moving to Las Vegas. What would life be like living in my favorite place in the world? Will I run myself broke from gambling all the time? Will I drink myself to death. While most of us will never know, we have someone in our community who was brave enough to do it…oh and has kids

360 Vegas Review: O'Shea's @LINQ Spring 2014
Sunday Jun 05, 2016
Sunday Jun 05, 2016
Never has the death of a shittier place been so
lamented by so many. When O'Shea's was closed in 2012 to make way for the
Linq project, even though it was announced it would return once the Linq project
was done, people bemoaned.
Maybe people were skeptical that Caesars entertainment
wouldn't keep its promise. Maybe they thought it wouldn't be the same or maybe
people just really like having their shoes make that suction cup sound as they
attempt to traverse across the urine and vomit covered linoleum.
Whatever the reason, people celebrated its return.
Little more than an Irish bar with a casino in it, O'Shea's made sure to bring
back its staples, Beer pong, karaoke, cheep booze and gambling as well as the
drunken loud vibe are alive and well. In fact, it’s been so successful that
Linq promised to expand O'Shea's into the space next door left vacant due to a
failed deal with a potential tenant.
However that has yet to materialize.

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.

360 Vegas Review: Pizza Rock @Downtown Grand Fall 2014

Pizza.
Many people will tell you there is no such thing as bad pizza. There are
clearly varying degrees of quality be even the worst pizza is still pizza.
While some strive to create the best pizza you've ever had, others look to
reinvent the culinary medium and blow your fuckin mind. Pizza rock is the
latter.
At
first glance, the menu can be concerning, especially for the picky eaters among
us. Balsamic reduction? Sautéed Pear?
Quail Hollow Farm Honey? What the fuck
are you doing to pizza! Good things, I
assure you. Very good things.
Need
some reassurance? They also have the
classic New York slice with the standards, a slice that rivals Secret Pizza at
Cosmopolitan. Pizza Rock isn’t just the
best pizza place off Fremont St, it’s one of the best places to eat in Vegas.

360 Vegas Review: Heritage Steak @Mirage Spring 2014

Vegas has evolved many times in its history. Sawdust joints were replaced with luxurious accommodations, the western theme was surpassed by a more worldly version and the 99 cent buffet met its demise with the introduction of fine dining. In fact, it can be said that fine dining was the first non-gaming evolution the city experienced. If history has taught us anything it’s that evolution is good. Everything in Vegas is meant to be an experience. Preferably one you can't get anywhere else. Dining is no different. While some succeed more than others, some change the way you define what that word even means. Heritage steak is the latter. Located next to the atrium in the Mirage, Tom Collicio's Heritage steak is an example unto itself. Food prepared over wood fueled flame is a unique enough concept but like any experience that transcends others, its about more than the meal. Heritage has an environment that is completely open yet feels like you're in a warm mountain cottage with one hell of a wine cellar and phenomenal staff that enjoy taking care of you. In a city that has taken the dining experience to another level, Heritage can be counted as one of the best.

360 Vegas Review: Harrah’s Hotel and Casino Fall 2014
Monday Nov 02, 2015
Monday Nov 02, 2015
When some people think of Vegas, they think of over the top opulence. Elegance unlike you've ever experienced. Fine dining, lavish suites, lush pool areas and larger than life themes are just some of the amazing options you can expect to enjoy during your Vegas vacation. You can expect none of these when you visit Harrah's. That isn't meant to insinuate that Harrah's isn't a nice property because it is. Adequate might be a word that best describes it. It has clean rooms, decent food options, entertaining shows and a pool. The table limits are low, gaming options are many and it has a nice location on the strip. There are far worse places to stay in Vegas. Unless you are looking for lavish amenities, odds are you won't be disappointed. What Harrah's lacks more than anything is an experience. Sure they do make something of an effort to have a Mardi gras theme but there isn't much holding that vibe together. What Harrah's offers is reasonably priced amenities. It’s the kind of place you store your stuff in while doing all the other things you came to Vegas to do.
