Why I love Grazie: 1. Family owned and ran. Maurizio (the owner) is a super nice Italian man and knows how to run a great restaurant. His daughter is a waitress, her boyfriend is the bartender. All in all a wonderful family feel. 2. Italian classes taught by Maurizio. Learn a new language and drink wine at the same time. 3. The food. Order anything with the carmelized onions. The "steak on a stick" (Speidini al Forno) is insanely good. The vesuvius calzone/pizza thing truly is a giant volcano of deliciousness. 4. The atmosphere is casual but classy at the same time. Beautiful patio, quaint bar, candlelit tables.

I used to go to 5 & Diner a lot but moved out of state a few years ago. Visiting and tried it out again but its not the same. It used to be pretty good- good burgers, shakes, etc. Its just not the same. The quality went down and the prices went up. I was disappointed with the food. Chicken sandwich was dry, fries were old and my Dr Pepper was flat for some reason. It felt like a restraunt on its way out. I was with two others and they were also very disappointed.

A museum may not be your first thought of what to do when you're in Vegas, but the Neon Museum might just change your mind. Coming from the DC area, I'm pretty spoiled when it comes to museums and I don't typically like to spend money on admission to them. That being said, it does cost to get in here but it's totally worth it. They're a non-profit org so cash flow has to come from somewhere. Admission was $12 for me because I'm a student. Discounted admission is also available for veterans, active military, and Nevada residents. There may be more discounts that I'm missing out on but I'm not sure. To check out the boneyard of old signs, you have to join in on a group tour. No self guided but that's the nature of the beast. Our tour guide (I believe her name was Carrie..?) was EXTREMELY knowledgeable, giving us detailed historical facts about each sign and the science behind neon signs. Never thought there would be so much info on signage. Our tour lasted about an hour. It was crazy hot out, so be sure to stay hydrated. No backpacks allowed on the tour but they'll check them at the front desk for you. No professional photography either, but you can take as many pics as you'd like for your own personal use. And just because it's a group tour doesn't mean there won't be tons of opportunities to take pics. The Neon Museum has it's own private lot with plenty of spaces, so no worries about parking. The museum also has it's own small gift shop too.

How can you give anything less. The prime rib was delicious. If you go in August, request the August special which includes a bottle of wine for 2 people, prime rib or salmon, the spin salad, and desert w/ coffee or tea. All for $99 for two people. Not a bad deal and more food than anyone one person needs at one time. Again, the prime Rib is the reason to go and they did not disappoint. Delicious.
