Yama Sushi. Delicious

My ex-roommate, his girlfriend and I went to Yama Sushi for their all-you-can-eat sushi. And, oh boy, it was delicious. Here are some things that I've ordered:

Started off with appetizer:
Seafood Salad. Spiciness level: mild.


Another appetizer: Soft shell crab w/ squeezed lemon


Pre-main course meal: baked green mussels.


Main course:
Firecracker: Jalapeno shell with spicy tuna and spicy mayo. Spicy!


Man whore: California roll topped with Salmon and a small slice of lemon. Spicy.


Dessert: mochi mango ice cream and a scoop of plum ice cream. Delicious in my mouth.

So worth the $25 I've spent for dinner. I should have gone for lunch where it's $20. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's searching for a Japanese owned sushi bar (most sushi places here in Vegas are Korean owned).

Oh no!!!

What do you when you're drunk and you need that starch? Steak and eggs baby!

The Orleans' Courtyard Cafe has been my favorite spot for late night dinner, after studying snack and post clubbing sober up meal. Why? Because they have a reasonably priced steak and eggs. Back in the summer of '10 it was priced at $3.49 and served from midnight to 6 a.m. In the fall, it was changed to $4.49 and served from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The other night, I lost to a bowling game. Loser had to buy dinner. Of course, I didn't mind because it was going to cost me as much as half a plate at LAVO. Then the check came and it had a total as much as a plate at LAVO. They increased their price from $4.49 to $6.99. Really?! We ask one of the servers if the price changed and we had a hard time understanding. We picked up: "discontinued, no more" etc etc etc blah blah blah.

Cheap food no more.

Seafood Salad from Yama Sushi

DE-LI-CIOUS!

For only $10.95 you can have a plate of seafood salad that has shrimp, tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and albacore and three levels of spiciness. Mmmm-mmm.Where can you get this? Yama Sushi on Maryland Parkway and Flamingo Road next to China Joes/Albertsons.

All you can eat sushi is reasonably priced at $19.95 for lunch and $22.95 for dinner. Plus, there's no maximum eating time.

Wicked Buffet at Cosmopolitan LV

Deliciously, delicious? Uhm... yeah. Mostly.





The Wicked Spoon buffet doesn't let you binge eat. Meaning, they don't have their entrees in one big bowl with a big spoon for you to put as much food as you want. Square bowls and mini pot pants carry the entrees that varies from salmon, pasta and steaks.

DO:
Eat their salads - it's served in a bowl.
Try all of their steaks!
Get mango flavored ice cream or their coffee heath flavor.

DON'T:
Eat a lot of desserts. Presentation A+, taste...uhmm it's like eating a spoonful of sugar
Get greedy and hoard all of the plates. You're not going to like all of the food so why waste? Bring a friend or two to share plates with.

BOTTOM LINE:
Go on a cheap day in the middle of the week.

She's only 10 and very talented.

But seriously, when you were ten years old what did you do? Played with your Gameboy Color? Razor Scooters? Ate bugs?

But this girl here plays the piano and sings at the same time. It's like a Canadian Alicia Keys but Filipino and ten years old. Lady Gaga released her new single just about 5 days ago. A ten year old already picked up the chords to the song and have the lyrics memorized.

Pure talent fo' sho.

Sambalatte - it's like Starbucks but Samba with latte.

This coffee shop is located in Boca Park in Summerlin. I guess you could say that Sambalatte's target demographic is anyone 20 and above, looking for a good chat with friends on a Sunday afternoon, and sipping various types coffee from all over the world. Sounds fancy huh? What's even more fancy, the interiors. The walls were decorated with a modern and antique furniture, bookshelves and paintings. What about the drinks? Of course there are mid-price, drinks. The espresso I got was just like an espresso. But my friend who got an Ethiopian black coffee... mmm mmmm delicious. I don't drink black coffee but the Ethiopian black coffee is something to give a try. It has that black coffee bitter taste but yet a hint of something sweet. It's like Chelsea Handler, she's a bitch but yet she's fun. The pastries look good too, but I wasn't in the mood for something sweet at the time. Maybe on my next visit, I'd give a try on their Chocolate Caramel Pyramid. The workers are very friendly also. Looks like they're the type of people you would want to be friends with.

Sambalatte is like going to your grandma's house for a cup of tea but yet she serves you coffee and has a collection of history books.


Books from famous authors, philosophers and a book about Russia's history.


Painting on the wall that shows what coffee Sambalatte carry.


Love the abstract framing.

The two story coffee house is located next to Kona Grill and open Monday to Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Thursday to Sunday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Check out their website at http://sambalatte.com.

Cosmopolitan at Las Vegas

"Just the right amount of wrong."


Yes, that is their marketing campaign. If may have seen their 30 or 60 second commercial on the T.V. You know, the grandma dancing with a young man, pantsless bell boy, dude wearing a tuxedo in the pool and that extra bunny that got kicked out of the hotel.

Finally got to visit this hotel were celebrities and awesome people (like Beyonce and Jay-Z) flocked to for NYE 2011. My first visit was with my parents on the same day it opened. We did a quick walk-through on the second floor towards the City Center walkway. Second time, I was pretty drunk. So I can't remember much. Third time, finally sober and walked around the whole hotel. I appreciate art and this hotel was full of it. Full of lovely modern art. See more pictures below.




Some lovely things they had at Cosmopolitan LV:

1. If you're a chronic gambler and you have to play that certain slot machine, their interactive map tells you where it is located.
   
2. The pool is open to the public! Well, it's winter and of course no one would actually swim in their pools.
3. There are more art in their underground garage. The parking stalls has either green or red light. Green for open parking, and red for "Sorry, this spot is taken but some other car. Keep driving!"
