A: this walmart is Terrible, they close early randomly on days that are barely holidays. Also it is listed online as 24 hours but they are not 24 hour. It's super annoying.

A: My girl friends and I must have ate Firefly's kitchen out. We had 10 tapas and a pan of paella for lunch before, of course, dropping our guts at Encore Beach Club. Sexy! The paella is an absolute must-have for $20 (Toto, I've a feeling we're not in San Francisco anymore!). It was chock-full of clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari, chicken, and chorizo--I couldn't believe there was more seafood than saffron rice. My favorite small plates were the camarones a la diabla (shrimp in spicy chile sauce), stuffed dates, and chorizo clams. The shrimp was perfectly cooked in a delectable sauce--after we had all the shrimp, we hung on to the sauce and smothered anything and everything with it. The dates were small, though tasty and complex. The clams were in a lighter sauce than the shrimp but also delicious simmered in chorizo and white wine. I would skip the roasted baby beet salad, tortilla a la Espanola (Spanish omelette), and the lobster escargots. There were barely any beets in the salad; the tortilla not only looked but tasted unappetizing; and the lobster escargots were so small I can't even remember their taste. I've had paella and tapas in Spain and at many memorable restaurants in the US. Firefly doesn't come close to the top, but the prices are so reasonable (for Vegas!) and the selection is so vast (even the pickiest of eaters can't whine!) that I have to bump this 3-star tapas bar to 4 stars. Plus, it's nice to leave the Strip for a meal!

A: Ping Pang Pong? Pong Pong Pong? Pang Ping Pong? Pong Ping Pang? Yum dom cha, sik goh bao! If you don't know this reference, its from Jin. Anyways, Ping Pang Pong was the very first restaurant I dined at in Sin City. They had a massive dining area with dim sum cart ladies running around like mad. My friend's mom had ordered chicken feet at least 10 times and none of which were fulfilled. Might I add that I also like chicken feet? So I was also disappointed when we came up empty handed. The dim sum here was okay, nothing special.

A:
I concur - best local music station I've ever heard. The DJs all seem to be very passionate about music, and they manage to pull it off very professionally. (I want to say the station has an overall "slick" production sound, but that makes it look like I think they're disingenuous.) Good mix of old and new, good mix of general indie rock with specialty/genre shows. I might not like everything I hear on there, but I can't say they ever play bad music. Definitely the best station in town.
