Problem: Bus ride = Long and grueling. On the way up, you will stop a couple times which nicely breaks up the 4 hour (one-way) trip. Hover dam, Mcdonalds, and national geographic cafeteria / visitors center. Be cautioned, you will get Mcdonalds on the way up, Pizza hut on the way up, and Mcdonalds on the way back. Bring healthy snacks for the bus ride, and 2 bottles of water minimum. Our bus driver, Felix, was a smooth talking manager, knowledgable, and fun to ride with. Grand Canyon itself = awesome. You will have around 2.5 hours total there. 1 hour at Vista point 1, 1 hour at Vista point 2. Our bus driver recommended that we take the 2.5 mile walk between the two vista points, which was beautiful. HOWEVER Be cautioned on this walk. Its easy to loose track of time, and you tend to feel rushed since you have 2 hours to walk 2.5 miles. You have to walk at a brisk pace, stop to take photos, while the sun is setting and you are questioning how long you have and where you need to stop. Take a note of the final resting place, and DO NOT panic if your bus driver is a bit late. I would visually tag 2-3 small groups of people on your same bus and try to spot them on the walk to keep yourself sane. Honestly, as nice as the walk was, I would just stop at the 2 points. You can walk for 20-40 minutes at each point, then enjoy the visitor centers they have, without having the rush or pressure. You leave at 6 am and get back around 9 to 10pm. The bus ride back is what will kill you. But they show two movies which is nice. Stop at Mcdonalds, (again, yuck), and it takes like 5 hours to get back. Overall.... I am really at odds. The Grand Canyon was spectacular, but it really is a long long long excursion. We knew this coming in, but it drains you. I don't just recommend, I almost say its a requirement to show up well-rested and not hungover, at all.

Problem: I love this place. It's seriously the best sushi I've had at the best prices. There is a huge variety to choose from. My favorites are the Unagi, Deep Fried, Las Vegas, and Spicy Tuna rolls. I've never eaten from their regular menu though. The service is good, the chefs are fast, fun, friendly, and have skill. It's a family owned place and I believe the head chef(s) are from Japan. It's got a quaint atmosphere and not trendy in the least. The prices are EXTREMELY reasonable. The Miso soup here is perfect as well. I have eaten there on Friday and Saturday nights which can get busy. Everytime I go there I see regulars. You can also get the sushi to go which is nice. Bottom line, this place is TEN times better than RA as far as quality of sushi goes. It's not as expensive as Ah So either. Perfect atmosphere as far as I'm concerned.

Problem: Dirty floor, filthy salsa bar, gastly restrooms. I'm thinking this place is over due for an inspection *nudge *nudge Look past all that, get your food and it was so-so. I was over expecting due to the extreme yelps. To each there own right, maybe it was just hard to enjoy the meal with all the screaming kids & parents that hardly noticed. Or the messy setting. We'll never know.

Problem: This place was highly recommended to be by a few people, and I had really high expectations. The bad part about high expectations is that most of the time they are not met. However, Firefly went above and beyond, and I absolutely loved it. This restaurant serves Tapas, which is basically small plates and/or appetizers. Our table decided to just order a bunch of these small dishes and share them all, which was nice because it would have been so difficult to just select one! Everything we ordered tasted fresh and amazing, and have AMAZING flavor - from the stuffed dates to the mac n cheese to the tuna tartare. For us, they brought out the dishes one by one, so we were able to focus on one dish at a time, passing it around the table for everyone to serve themselves. It is quite a different experience than most restaurants, but I definitely enjoyed this method. We also ordered a pitcher of Mango Mojitos, which we SO yummy. The mango did not taste artificial at all. The atmosphere of this restaurant is pretty modern and artistic. We had a unique dinner because we were able to experience both the inside and outside seating. At first, we chose to sit outside because there were beautiful round fairy lights, and the inside seating seemed a bit to dark for my liking. We really loved sitting outside, until the thunderstorm started! We were quickly moved inside, just before the large amounts of water soaked through the thin cotton overhang. The inside has a great ambiance - dark and candlelit - but I did like the outside more, before the storm obviously. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, especially when we had to quickly move inside. They said "grab your drinks, and we will take care of the rest". It was very nice of them to brave the storm outside which got crazy pretty quickly. Our server was also very friendly, and was helpful with our questions about the menu. This is amazing quality food for not that expensive, ESPECIALLY for Vegas. I don't know if/when I will be back to Vegas, but if I do, I will definitely be coming here again!
