Dinner at Terribles Casino Hotel

We spent quite a bit of money to come to Photoshop World Las Vegas, especially dinning for the past few days. We decided to hunt for a good bargain and we went to Terribles Hotel and Casino just off of Paradise Road and Flamingo. Prime Rib dinner for $9.95 Friday special. It's not Ruth Chris, Mortons, or Arroyo Chop House. It was nonetheless dinner. I would rate this 4 out of 5 stars for bargain value.

Treasure Island Show: Siren

Here's a picture of Brian and Allen at the Treasure Island (TI) outdoor show "Siren". It used to be the famous "Pirate" show, but they revamped it to entertain the more mature audiences as these semi-bikni clad beauties swinging through ropes and dances toe hip-gyrating music. Of course, we picked the wrong side and got a good view of people's heads rather than the sirens. We did, however, got a real good look at the guys who played the pirates on the opposite side. I would rate this 2 out of 5 stars for entertaining value. That's only because it's also free but you'll have to get there early to catch the show.

P.S. the Wisconsin College team and alumni were here to open the show as they will battle against UNLV tomorrow.

Oyster Bar @ Palace Station Hotel

Allen flew in tonight for Photoshop World and I just picked him up and we drove directly to our favorite restaurant in Las Vegas... The Oyster Bar.

Since I have nothing better to do right now, I'm blogging. We've been waiting for more than 45 minutes and it's worth the wait. Everyone waits at the Oyster Bar. The food is awesome. Their famous panroast is to die for. They cook right in front of you while you sit at the counter. You'll be salavating by the time you sit down because you've been waiting for the past hour and smelling the aroma. It's torturous but we love it! Oh by the way, did I tell you the price is very reasonable. It's definitely a must if you ever in Las Vegas.

Afternoon at the Beach

I spent the afternoon at the Mandalay Bay Beach. It was my first experience in the famous wave pool. At first I was a little nervous about the wave pool especially, I'm not a good swimmer. So, I hung around the edge just soaking water around my knee level. Boy, that was a mistake. I got hit so hard by an end of a wave, it knocked me down and I almost passed out. It's like getting whipped by a gigantic wet towel. I was later suggested to move near the "blue" line by a life-guard. And sure enough, the wave is much more gentle there (middle of the wet towel) and it pushed me back 15 ft to shore. I rode this wave for about an hour with my water proof iPod housing and ear phones. I can't wait to do this again next year.

On a side note... the Mandalay Bay Hotel recently revamped their facilities which includes their famous man-made beach. They now have a beach side restaurant and on the top floor of the new structure by the beach, a mini-casino. Who in the world would be tempted to gamble during a fun time at the beach? I walked in, it had a black-jack table, roulette, craps, and it was empty. The dealers were just standing around watching the game on the flat screen tv.
