Monte Carlo fire


A three-alarm fire occurred last Friday, Jan. 26, at the Monte Carlo resort, but the black smoke above the Las Vegas Strip made the incident appear much worse than it really was.

All Elton, all the time


Las Vegas is the hardest working city in the world- all that glitz doesn't just happen out here in the desert, baby. Sometimes, the glamour seems effortless... other times, you can see past the flashing lights and the sequinned facade to the industry grind behind it all.

Celine Dion's 'permanent' show at Caesars Palace appears to take place naturally and organically. Elton John's 'replacement' show for when Celine ...

Affordable Las Vegas! - Baidu Chinese Bistro


7625 S Rainbow Blvd, Suite 100
Las Vegas, NV 89139
702-382-6688

Their food presentation is one of the best I have seen in this price range.  Your appetizers come out with all the appropriate dipping sauces served in elegant yet modern dishes.  Your entrees come plated ...

Affordable Las Vegas! - Archi's Thai Kitchen


6360 W Flamingo, Suite A
Las Vegas, NV 89103
702-880-5550

This restaurant has a fun twist.  They have a drive thru!  You don't see many Asian restaurants with a drive thru (I do not count Panda Express!)  All their food is cooked to order, so don't get to excited.  Their drive thru is more in line with Olive Garden, BW3 and other restaurants where you order in advance and when you get there ...
