Sightseeing in Las Vegas, Nevada…read more.. While browsing through my Yelp app under "Local Flavor", I remembered seeing "The Wishing Tree", but didn't pay attention to the location because I didn't think we would be in the vicinity. Lo and behold... My friends and I happened to be walking through the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian when I spotted The Wishing Tree! I was so shocked... I forgot about trying to scan the QR code and making a wish. Shucks!!! I guess we'll need to return and try it out!

No one knows exactly why this is called The Wishing Tree. You'll find it on the second floor in The…read moreShoppes at The Palazzo, near Sushisamba. They have cushioned seats around the tree and four charging outlets which is nice! Personally, I think this tree is more like a time-saving compass. From the elevator, I can see the tree. If I go right, the path leads to Sushisamba. If I go left, the path leads to The Venetian Grand Canal Shoppes. But if I keep going straight, that pathway goes through all the designer boutiques and accessories, and I end up shopping!

I took my first class making glass pendants with 4 friends. The gallery itself was a wonderful…read moresurprise. It is a huge space, stunning, and well worth a visit to see the artists' work for sale and on display. The class was well organized and everyone attending was given personalized instruction and attention. The owners are very friendly and love to share their long careers in glass media of all kinds. We were able to choose our materials from an unending supply of colors and types of glass. We were all thrilled with our results, picked up a week later after firing. I have already signed up for another class! The classes are offered at a reasonable price point and the owners are willing to host private parties with 10 or more paid attendees. We all took cards to give friends and plan to return many times! 5 stars plus!!

In Las Vegas, amongst the glitz, lights, night life, booze, gambling and shopping (don't get me…read morewrong, these are all pretty fantastic in this 2 mile block of Southern Nevada along the world famous Vegas Strip!), art can often be an after thought. A moment in which in your burry eyed, foggy state of boarding your return flight home, you might vaguely remember a giant thing with tumbling numbers or a giant tree house looking thing you thought was a restaurant. But make no mistake, those items (which are indeed public art) have been placed there for you to see, experience, be mesmerized by and enjoy....whether you actually knew it or not. Crystals and the City Center area that surrounds it, is a treasure trove of some of the city's greatest contemporary, cool art installations. From the cool Mihajima Marks U.S debuted piece that went in to Crystals last year, to the funky cool tree house that houses Maestros designed by David Rockwell or James Turrell's Akhob located inside Louis Vuitton (appointments required, so call well in advance)...great art is everywhere at Crystals! Look up City Center Art Collection before you visit, for if art is your thing, this is a fun scavenger hunt around City Center, in addition to Crystals (the shopping entity at City Center). Most of the pieces are large and can make you travel around the entire site to discover. The art at Crystals can rotate from time to time, so keep your eyes peeled for new stuff during each visit.

Yummy! I placed an order through Uber Eats as they had lasagna advertised for $12! Ordering…read morethrough Uber Eats is really easy, especially when you're traveling alone. It took about an hour from when I placed the order to receiving it. The lasagna is large and in charge and is DELICIOUS! Layered with perfectly cooked pasta with TONS of meat and cheese. I love that there's extra sauce. I love my pasta dishes like soup. It comes with two plain slices of bread. You can definitely share a slice with someone else, along with a salad. I also appreciate that they protect the take out orders. They double tie each bag and wrap the Tamper Proof tape so drivers can't mess with the food. Definitely recommend and will order from again. Support your local businesses!

It's been a few years since I last stopped by the Caesars Forum Shops. I had an event at Carmine's…read moreon a Wednesday evening and had a chance to look at the Fountain of the Gods. The Forum Shops is like a gigantic Roman fantasy world. But with the Fountain of the Gods, it certainly elevates the experience and brings it to an entirely new level! Looking at those massive statues, and the water flowing from them was amazing! It's as if there is marble everywhere you look, and then on top of it, this magnificent painted sky ceiling over head! This type of atmosphere is something that only exists here in Las Vegas! What I like most about this place is that you don't have to spend money to go there. Just walk around, take pictures, enjoy the area! I was surprised how much detail the statues had, especially if your interested in either Greek or Roman Mythology! I love the whole area around the statue as well! With all of the shopping, great dining options, it's such a fantastic experience! I thought the Fountain of the Gods was worth stopping for, even if it's just for a few minutes while walking through Caesars Palace. It's one of those iconic Vegas details in the Forum Shops. Great photo op area too!

I love that we have a restaurant of this caliber in the Southwest, making it easy to enjoy an upscale evening without the drive or hassle of the Strip. The service is exceptional; warm, attentive, and polished from beginning to end. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, and the quality of the food is outstanding. I ordered the salmon, and it was cooked perfectly with incredible flavor. One thing you absolutely shouldn't skip is the tableside tiramisu. It's a fun, interactive experience that's just as enjoyable to watch as it is to eat. It adds a special touch to an already memorable meal. From the elegant atmosphere to the outstanding food and impeccable service, Sgrizzi delivers a fine dining experience that rivals many of the best restaurants on the Strip. I've eaten here twice and will be back.
