Starving after a full day at the show? Tired of the same old, same old?

Citysearch has a list of the top 10 new restaurants in the city. Or if you’ve got the cash, live it up and try one of Vegas Pop’s Five Places to Eat Like a Million Bucks.

But if you’re like me, I can’t afford a million dollar meal. There’s no luck for this lady on the casino floor.

My fave is French restaurant Mon Ami Gabi at the Paris Resort & Casino. I always ask for a seat outside (even when it’s cold) so that I have a view of the Bellagio fountain across the street. I order the French onion soup, which warms me up right away.

What’s your favorite restaurant in Vegas?

I just had to post this. Who would have thought Bill Gates can be this funny?

Singer, Beatboxer, Live Looper, Songwriter and One Man Band Kid Beyond is performing at the Plantronics / Altec Lansing booth!  Here are some pictures from one of his shows.

It ROCKED!  And as they say – “if it’s too loud, you’re TOO OLD!”

Buzz here in Vegas… from the local news to MSNBC, is that CES may be leaving its historic home of lights and full-filled, Las Vegas in coming years.

Hotel rates during this week have soared over recent years often charging attendees $400 or $500 a night for rooms that are usually under $200. And both attendees and exhibitors alike are beginning to complain. Loudly.

In fact, word on the street is that if you mention “CES” when you book a reservation, you’re often quoted a higher, instead of lower price for the room. Case in point, suites at the Venetian “for CES” were booked at upwards of $400 in advance, but “walk-ins” here on Saturday night were quoted a price much closer to $200.

Heard a stat that Las Vegas makes more than $2Million during the week CES comes to town. That would be an awful big chunk of change to walk away from.
