Mickey's is a good place to shoot a couple of racks. A good sized pool hall located at the corner of Eastern and Warm Springs, they've been around for a while and they know what they're doing. It's a no-frills place dedicated to serving some people some beverages while they play some pool. The drinks are inexpensive, the tables are inexpensive, and there's a jukebox to boot. (I'm not a big fan of the selection, but you might be. If you're not, just find some stuff to annoy your friends with. There's a LOT of that.) If you're done playing and you just want to sit and relax, there's a small lounge area in the elevated bar that's good for just that.

The only way this could possibly be a 4 star show is if it were your first show ever to see in life. It was like every act here originally auditioned for "The V Ultimate Variety Show" and didn't make it so they just banded together to create this. There is nothing "Avant Garde" about this. Shadow puppets, disappear/reappear, bad jokes and tricks you've probably seen elsewhere. A couple of the tricks were ok which saved it from being a 1 star rating but this was a pretty boring show. I actually checked my clock multiple times to see how much longer we had to sit there. Juliana Chen who apparently is a "world champion of magic" had cards shooting out of her arms for basically 15 minutes with a little variation. Imagine seeing her do it: First time she does it during her entrance (semi enthusiastic applause) Second time (below average applause) Third time (3 claps) Fourth time (no applause) Fifth time (is anyone alive out there?) Their website says "If you see one Las Vegas show in your lifetime make it Avant-Garde!". Are you fucking KIDDING ME??? Can you imagine someone at their box office saying "Yeah! Forget 'O'! It's all about Avant-Garde, baby!". Sheesh. Obviously there are some pretty bad shows in town but how can they get away with saying something like THAT?? I think this may be the only suitable show for families with young kids staying downtown so distracting kids for an hour might be the best reason to go. That's about it though. Stay away otherwise!

The only reason my husband and I had dinner here is we had been up and down the Strip, gambling and drinking since 10 AM, and the line for the Avenue Cafe was too long. We didn't wait very long, and our food was at least hot and flavorful when it came out. Husband had a pot roast, I had some type of pasta that was a bit too spicy. The tomato-basil bisque was good. Prices were ridiculous for what you got. VERY loud and yes the waterfall will get you a little wet. I'm thinking if I'd had three less margaritas we could have stood in line at the other cafe. In short, probably really great for kids, but then who brings kids to Sin City? Apparently plenty of people, as we saw the week we were there. Whatever.

After a weeklong vacation to Arizona, and three visits to Green within that week, I can say that this is the best vegetarian/vegan restaurant I have ever been to. Tried a few new dishes this week including the mexicali burger, the artichoke gratin, the buffalo wings, and three flavors of tsoynamis. All were so good. The wings were delicious and amazingly "real" in texture and taste. The tsoynamis are freakin' awesome - the first one I had a few years ago, I didn't really think the texture was quite right. But I definitely think its exactly like a blizzard but with better flavors, like fluffer-nutter (pb, banana, marshmallow fluff. yum) But nothing beats the old standby of a no harm chicken parm with chili fries on the side. The fries are the best fries ever, and the chili is so good. The no harm parm sandwich makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Like I said before, if they opened up in my neck of the woods, I could totally be vegan.
