Q: What can I say other than I LOVE COWFISH! One of the best restaurants in Charlotte. A great place to satisfy your raw fish and burger cravings all in one visit. The menu is extensive. I personally have a love/hate relationship with the menu. There is almost too much to choose from and you can do some serious damage to your wallet there. Also, be prepared to wait for a table. There is always a wait but the bar and bar tables are first come first serve. For as many times as I have been to Cowfish, I have NEVER been seated at a table. We usually go straight to the bar to begin our Cow and Fish experience. This last visit ,we had the Ahi Tuna Salad (YUMMO) as an appetizer. The fish literally melts in your mouth and the seaweed salad is seasoned perfectly. Note, seaweed has a very unique texture. one I happen to love but if you are one of those who can't handle squishy, crunchy and slimy all in one bite, perhaps the Ahi alone is more your speed (and there is nothing wrong with that, just sayin) My husband and I both had Bento Boxes. I feel this is a good lunch choice. A little beef, a little sushi and some extra yummies added in the box. Who knew Edamame and Sweet potato fries would taste so good together. Because we always sit at the bar, I can't comment on the wait staff but the bar staff is superb. Very attentive, knowledgeable and because the bar is always heavily staffed, you will get very fast service.

Q: Stopped by here on our way to Cirque Du Soleil and ordered some latkes. They were OK, not exactly what I was expecting. Since when are latkes deep fried? I guess maybe I don't know what one is (since I always pan fry my latkes/potato pancakes, that's just how I roll). They weren't super greasy or anything, just not that great. Good with applesauce and decent with sour cream. This place is also a bit expensive. $12 for a plate of 3 latkes? Granted they were huge, but STILL, it's potatoes, a few onion bits & oil... How expensive can it really be? Ugh. Also, others at my table had food items that were way more costly than they should have been. Anyway, I don't really recommend this place. With all the other food options in Vegas, you can do WAY better for a cheaper price possibly.

Q: This was an unexpected last minute side adventure to our friend's birthday wknd. I called their office 4 days before our trip to see if we could get into a Saturday tour and at first I was told they were booked out til July 17th but I asked to be placed on a waiting list. She called me back and said someone had cancelled and they had room for us! Woohoo! Yes, we did have our own car which made it convenient and free for us to get there (on the far North side of the strip) And parking was free. They have a fun/friendly staff check you in that has you sign the waver not to sell any pics you may take and all tour guides are volunteers. Ours was Amy. She was friendly and very knowledgeable re: the history of Vegas and all the signs currently resting in the boneyard. It was a hot morning and the sun shines down in June pretty hard even for 10am. I didn't wear a hat as recommended but I was glad I wore sunscreen and had a bottle of water--although it kinda got in the way of my taking pictures. I noticed that some of the signs were either no longer there that I have seen in other yellper's visits or perhaps I missed them because the boneyard has been moved around from time to time. Some of the images that are posted on yelp looked SO cool and I was hoping to get shots similar to those for myself but unfortunately, the signs that were either near or leaning on each other that day were no longer in that same formation. Amy gave us plenty of time to ask questions and told us many interesting facts about the signs. My personal favorites were the big duck, the new Yucca sign and the old Stardust sign. I think they should probably stop calling the $15 charge a "donation" and just charge it as a fee to get the tour. We didn't get the feeling while we were signing up that the donation was optional--but it's totally worth it! Can't wait til they move into the conch-shell looking building as their future lobby area. I'll have to bring the parents back for the tour once they do!

Q: pizza is pizza right? wrong! this place is a super cool sports bar/italian restaurant/gelato bar/FUN! I went for my first time a few days ago and ordered the 'Eggplant Parmesan Mozzarella Pizza'. Man was it freaking De-Li-Ci-ouS! My friend and I shared a large (18 inches) and because the pizza was generously topped with deep friend eggplant and mozzarella cheese, we were only able to finish one slice each. Our server was Anthony and he was amazing! Not only was he friendly, welcoming, funny, knowledgeable, and attentive when needed, he really made my first experience a memorable one. Our dinner ended with a few samples from their gelato bar. We were introduced to 5 sorbets and gelatos that topped off the experience and left us full. In the end, we enjoyed an 18' pizza, had tons of left overs, two iced teas, great service, and five delicious samples of yummy frozen goodness, and all for $25.
