Problem: So I decided to take a look at this gym for myself due to the mixed reviews I've read. Firstly the price is $150, and I really did think this place was going to be best (you get what you pay for right?). I took a look around and yeh it looks nice and fancy but the equipment is a load of bollocks. Where the hell are all the plate loading machines? Is there a stairmaster? Where's the pool? The attachments for the cable stacks? Really? I've viewed apartments with an onsite gym with those basic items. Id get better results bashing one out in my bedroom than using this place.

Problem: Not impressed whatsoever. Went on a Friday before it got packed and it still took 15-20 minutes just to get our drinks. While I liked the price, I did not like the margarita. Our waiter took other people's food order before ours even though we were seated first. When placing our food order the waiter kept trying to walk away when I was not done ordering. The food was ok but I've definitely had better. We'll be sticking to Tia Rosas.

Problem: Just one block east of the Las Vegas Strip sits this interesting little spot, awaiting those who want to escape the bright lights, expensive prices and tourists of the casino bars. If you want to classify it as a dive bar, you're pretty much on point, a welcome rarity in this neck of the woods. Stage door is actually attached to a small, corner convenience store where you get your pick of either a short bar in the front or a large rectangle bar to grab a stool, play some video poker/keno/blackjack and enjoy one dollar Michelob Ultra bottles and one dollar hot dogs. Yep, no frills, no thrills, which is obviously why it's a popular locals hangout. It was certainly a welcome break from the typical craziness, glitz and glamour this town attempts to push 24/7. Plus, I didn't get sick (Yay), so that itself was a huge plus! Lastly, having the ability to pay your entire bill in singles is an extreme rarity you probably won't find anywhere else around here. Very nice!

Problem: I am no sushi pro, but I can taste the difference in raw fish when its high quality and fresh. Why this place has any reviews under 3 stars is shocking to me. If the parking situation and prices were lower it would be an easy 5. So basically if this spot wasn't on the strip it would be ideal to me. Although I did enjoy the outdoor seating which included plenty of good people watching. (Fun times at the fashion show mall on Christmas eve) But overall, I had a wonderful experience. To start, we (my sister and I) decided to check out the all day happy hour they offered on the holiday. They did this both Black Friday and Christmas eve, so I am guessing this is a normal holiday or shopping day thing for Ra. Our other halves don't do sushi, so we enjoy exploring new places. The menu pricing seemed high, so all day happy hour was the perfect opportunity. We began our meal with a garlic sesame style edamame. No doubt about it I will order this every single time I come. Why places have not been doing this forever is the real question! We went with a couple classics like a philly roll and shrimp tempura. The tempura roll came with asparagus, Total win to me. I also ordered the Viva Las Vegas roll. A mix of many things topped with spicy crab and a crunchy wheel. I can't even explain it. Just trust that this is the roll you DO NOT want to miss! It started to get cold after the sun wasn't in view anymore so I ordered a Miso HOT! soup. It came out in a rod iron steel type bowl and had shrimp and green beans in it. I will come back for this alone. (well and that amazing edamame!) I really wanted to try the hot mess balls as well. A spicy tuna, jalapeno, deep fried ball type thing. Not too sure what it is, but I will be finding out soon! Also the white sangria was super sweet, and the Cucumber Collins was a perfect afternoon. refreshing, nice buzz but not too strong type of drink. Although they didn't give us the happy hour discount on the sangria. We didn't complain because the difference was only $1.75. The real happy hour specials are the rolls. Also, if you're not into sushi they had many shrimp options, and even a couple beef and chicken dishes. I would suggest trying it during one of their many happy hours!
