The 2 reasons I originally went to AZR were 1.) My hubby (bf @ the time) was way into climbing, so we started climbing together and 2.) One of my good friends works there (idk if he still does, but he worked there FOREVER). I was immediately hooked on climbing! AZR is a great place for kid parties and team building (they probably have at least one kid birthday party every weekend). They have plenty of bouldering and trad routes for people of all skill levels. They even have lead climbing (and classes to teach you lead climbing if you don't know how...which I don't haha). The staff is super cool here, and we got on a first name basis with them. They are always friendly and helpful (and fun to hang out with, lol). I also loved the free yoga classes for gym members with Jeanette. I miss this place so much after moving away.

With so many great choices in Vegas for Japanese food, Hamada of Japan definitely ends up near the bottom of that list IMO. Hamada is located in the Flamingo hotel/casino on the strip. I normally would have advised some out of towners where the better places to eat were, but they insisted on going somewhere in their hotel. Fine, I'll go I figured. The restaurant was nearly empty at 7:30 the night we went, and immediately red flags were going up. We were seated quickly, but service was terrible. We had to ask for our drink order to be taken after 10 minutes, and when some friends who normally don't eat sushi asked for some suggestions on the menu, we were told she would give us more time and be back in a few minutes. How helpful of you. After ordering the sushi/sashimi combo platter and a few rolls for the table, our food came out after not too long The sushi was not the worst, but it's just OK, nothing special. The bill came and I was shocked at the cost, nearly $50/person and we didn't order that much. Normally this amount wouldn't be too surprising for good Japanese food, but seriously we didn't order that much. When considering Hamada of Japan for you dining experience , take your time to choose a better place. It shouldn't take you long.

Whenever I see "cobb" on the menu, it's almost as if my eyes zoom straight in and my sights are set and locked. I don't know what it is about this salad that just makes my mouth start to water. It doesn't matter what version it is-- or how each restaurant will tweak the recipe just a little to make it their own. Cobb has found a permanent place in my heart and my belly is always happier as a result. I'm sure you guys know by now that I ordered the Mediterranean Cobb Salad here and all I can remember thinking was how good it was. The grilled chicken, fresh greens, sliced hard boiled egg, dressing and extra pita bread on the side made for a party in my mouth and I cannot tell you how pleased I was that I ordered this. The Mango Hibiscus tea was just as satisfying-- sweet, refreshing and thirst quenching. To top it off, the facilities were clean, and the service was outstanding.

Fantastic food! The bobs bad breath burger is a must! Service was friendly,fast, and overall just a wonderful experience. Also, they have a good amount of beers on tap. The prices are a little above average but it is definitely worth it!
