Viva Las Vegas!

If you're heading to Vegas, you cannot miss the Fountains at the Bellagio. It is spectacular and romantic.

Boa Prime Grill was by far the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. Their steak literally melts in your mouth. If you don't mind the expense, it's a must-see. The Las Vegas Margaritaville is the first one I've been to, and it is a blast. It has an incredibly fun atmosphere with a Caribbean-island flare. I'm definitely going to visit their other locations in Orlando and Cancun on future trips.

If you're into shopping, look no further than the Forum Shops at Caesars. They have EVERYTHING! I spent an entire day there.

And for all the ladies out there, don't miss the Chippendales show. It is hot!

Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

I've heard that the bus system is a convenient way to get around and probably the cheapest. Buses run up and down the Strip 24 hours a day. The monorails are also a cheap and convenient option. However, they don't stop at all hotels, so you may have to do some walking.

The only problem that I had was with security. I was talking quietly on a cell phone out in the hallway so as not to disturb my sleeping mother. This old witch across the hall was going to her room, and she informed me that I wasn't allowed to be in the hallway and promptly called security. The security guard was incredibly rude, even after I explained the situation, and he kept badgering me. I stormed down to the front desk manager to complain. They greatly apologized and paid for a meal at one of their restaurants. I appreciated their concern and attempt to reconcile the situation. However, I've never been treated with such disrespect in my life and will never return.

The food was okay, but the atmosphere is what really makes this place. I don't drink tequila, so I didn't sample any of their margaritas, but their pina coladas were excellent.

If you're looking to eat right away, I would suggest reservations, because this place is always packed. It is almost impossible to get a seat at the bar. Definitely check out the gift shop. There are a lot of fun things to look at and buy. If you're looking for a good time, you have to stop by Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. It's a one-stop party.

As we entered the restaurant, I found it very dark and dingy. This place is in serious need of a renovation. Even the view wasn't that great. Nothing impressed me about this place. We had an early dinner, so the restaurant was rather empty, yet they stuck us all the way in the back corner of the restaurant. I felt like Rosa Parks.

The food was horrible. It had absolutely no flavor. I didn't even eat my entrée. My mother ordered two Bloody Mary’s. The first one had no spice, and the second one was overloaded with spice. The service was mediocre.

Our dinner ended up costing $100, and it was by far the worst dining experience I've ever had. I couldn't wait to leave.

The only thing I regret was not making it back to try some of their world-famous cheesecake. It's definitely on my list of things to do. They must have 25 different types of cheesecake.

This place is always very crowded, so if you don't have reservations, be prepared to wait half an hour for a table. But you're in the middle of the Forum Shops at Caesars, so it's not hard to find something to do.
