Q: It's nice to wander off the beaten track, nothing better than a diamond in the rough...right? Then you realize there's a reason this place is off the beaten track, it is where it belongs! Cheap is the best word to describe everything here, period.

Q: I have to be honest in that the two stars I'm giving isn't really all that fair to Nam's Noodle. I can only eat one dish at this place as I've got a food allergy to onions; knowing full well that onions are critical to taste for a lot of dishes, I try and stick to this one dish. Also because I generally feel guilty if I have to ask to have it removed. With that said, the one dish I can eat here is OK; the barbecued honey pork ribs are pretty solid and have a pretty decent taste, but it's nothing extraordinary. The service isn't phenomenal either; they do what they're supposed to, but they don't really go above and beyond. Also, you have to spend $20 to be able to run a credit card here, so for someone that rarely has cash, $20 is a bit too much to spend on mediocre food. But Nam's saving grace is its traditional-style karaoke rooms. Although a lot of the songs are mostly Asian (and by this, predominantly Korean, Japanese and Chinese), there are American/English songs there as well. And while they're only MIDI-versions of the songs, it still provides a lot of fun if you've got a lot of friends with you. I've got some pretty good memories associated with this place, but it's not somewhere I go to a lot anyways.

Q: Came here for brunch and eh, nothing really special. It seemed like any other buffet on the strip. They had variety of food but none of it was so good that I wanted to get a second serving. Would I recommend this place, probably not but I went during brunch, maybe dinner is something different...

Q: Who can resist those cute M & M's characters? Walking along the Strip and seeing the colorful store, I couldn't. Plus, it presented another opportunity to duck in for an air conditioned respite from the oppressive Las Vegas summertime heat. So, with nothing particular in mind, Diane and I walked inside the store and looked around. As might be expected, M & M's merchandise was everywhere, and of close to infinite variety. Four floors of it! What really surprised us though was the advertised availability of a free 3-D movie presentation featuring the M & M's characters. While standing right outside the theater, when I saw that the next scheduled performance would begin in only 3 minutes, it seemed fortuitous and made sense to get in line and wait for the film to be shown. We were not disappointed. We were soon handed our yellow plastic 3-D glasses, found our way to comfortable seats, and then were treated to a funny and engaging film on a fairly large screen that was quite inventive, entertaining, and even suspenseful. The shows vary, but our featured film was titled "I Lost My M in Vegas." I won't ruin it for others by giving away the entire plot and ending. Just be advised that this short film involves Blue betting and losing the "M" on his chest at the Roulette Table, and then trying to get it back. In the course of that quest, Yellow's rear end is scorched. The quality of the color and the 3-D is excellent, as numerous 3-D images dart very close to a viewer's face. Following the film, we looked around some more, and of course bought a refrigerator magnet for our all-Vegas collection. But both of us were so glutted from Restaurant Week meals that, even though we both adore the taste and crunch of M & M peanuts, we didn't buy any candy. The stop was a nice diversion from our long walk.
