July 28th, 2007 by Las Vegas USA Blog

Have you ever wondered why men think the floor is a laundry basket or why women flock together? Well, this long running Broadway show just may answer some of your questions about the difference of the sexes.

Some have referred to this show as ‘couple’s therapy’ and as long as you have a since of humor you will certainly understand why once you’ve seen the show.

Defending the Caveman takes a humorous look at the puzzling but funny differences between the sexes and if nothing else both sexes will be encouraged when they learn from the audience reaction to this solo show that they are not alone.

The show has been shown around the world and translated into several languages but is now at the Golden Nugget Hotel on Fremont St. in Las Vegas for several years now and never fails to leave the audience in stitches as they get a glimpse of themselves, their mates, and our ancient ancestors – the Caveman.

No Vegas show girls in this show but it’s hard to find anyone who didn’t enjoy this hilarious show.

The Las Vegas Tillerman: Eat Where The Locals Eat

July 25th, 2007 by Las Vegas USA Blog

If you want to know the best places in town to eat you’ll usually get the best information from the local people – if they eat there then you know it’s going to be good food, affordable and not your typical tourist trap.

The Tillerman has been a Las Vegas landmark for over twenty years and this family run restaurant is just five minutes from the Vegas Strip.

Specializing in Steak and Seafood you can be sure to get a great meal here and at the same time be impressed with the elegance and class the restaurant offers.

Daily Chef Miguel Magana brings in the finest selection of seafood for the night’s dinner menu such as blue crab, jumbo shrimp and of course lobster tails along with oysters and calamari.

If seafood isn’t to your liking you may prefer the yellow fin tuna, rainbow trout, or stuff yourself on the Alaskan king crab legs.

Filet mignon, New York strip and rib eye steaks are also on the menu along with pork shops, lamb, chicken and pasta.

The Tillerman in Las Vegas also offers a unique dinning experience with the vaulted cathedral ceiling that has a retractable skylight that is opened when weather permits to give dinners the experience of eating al fresco (outside).

July 20th, 2007 by Las Vegas USA Blog

Certainly not your typical Las Vegas attraction “Bodies … The Exhibition” will evoke a wide range of emotions. Located at the Tropicana this exhibit has been on display in both New York and London.

A few of the features of Bodies include:

* Whole body specimens in poses such as conducting music,, throwing darts, curling a discus, and pitching a baseball.
* Over 260 organs and body parts are displayed.
* Several displays of the human system including the nervous, digestive, and muscular systems.
* A display showing the skeletal system includes showing that children’s bones grow faster in the spring.

One of the most impressive displays is the respiratory system that shows how a pack of cigarettes takes over two hours off a person’s life and the side by side examples of a healthy heart and lungs next to a smoker’s heart and lungs.

Other displays show the effects of not only smoking but over eating and lack of exercise on the human body.

Warning, parts of “Bodies … The Exhibition” in Las Vegas can be rather disturbing but can be bypassed. The display is however open to all ages and is an attraction that will leave a lasting impression.
