It’s good to live in the 702. Now it just got a little better.  Select Wolfgang Puck restaurants in town are now offering Las Vegas locals 20% off their bill with the presentation of a Nevada I.D. from now through September 30, 2010.  The deal is good at Spago [...]

Brasserie PUCK Reborn as Wolfgang Puck Pizzeria and Cucina

Boo hiss to this piss poor economy making street food the cuisine of choice when times are tough.  Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a burger, pizza and taco as much as the next guy, but Las Vegas has taken a sharp turn towards the beer budget crowd and has had some significant casualties along [...]

Sex and the City 2 Poster

Yes, I have an unblemished 30-year record of heterosexuality, and I can’t wait for this Thursday for Sex and the City 2 to hit the silver screen.  Apparently, the rest of Las Vegas can’t wait for Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda and Mr. Big (John J. Preston, to those in [...]

What the Hell is THAT?!? - Foie Gras

Foie gras (pronounced: fwah grah) is one of the more controversial items on the menu.  Along side caviar and truffles as a symbol of gastronomic decadence, foie gras is as adored by many as it is chastised by many.  Foie gras is also one of those items on the menu that make many people just [...]

Wolfgang Puck and Todd English Lead the Way for New Tastes at Crystals

By far, the main attraction at CityCenter (some would say only attraction) are the restaurants.  A stellar collection of places to eat, each of the individual buildings that comprise CityCenter has an eatery to go to that is worth dealing with the ongoing valet / parking situation there.  The Crystals mall has had a bunch [...]

A Brief Response to Two Idiots in New York

Looks like I’m already late to the party to fire back at David Landsel and Andy Wang’s seemingly unresearched display of Manhattanite Superiority Complex Idiocy they wrote for their 3rd Rate Rag (a.k.a. – The New York Post), as Eating Las Vegas’ John Curtas has already brilliantly responded in his blog.  However, with the magnitude [...]
