360 Vegas Review: Giada's @Cromwell Spring 2016





Okay, she’s hot.  No one is going to argue that.  She is also Italian so the odds of her being batshit crazy is also pretty probable.  All those things aside, this women couldn’t have gotten famous as a chef if she wasn’t actually good at it to begin with; right.  Well this is her first restaurant ever anywhere so if you want first hand knowledge, here's your chance

Giada’s is Cromwell’s only dining option and it is brilliantly located on the 2nd floor, basically in the same spot the famous Barbary Coast/Bill’s cascading neon signage formerly resided.  As has become the newest fade in Vegas, that this show can’t encourage enough, it offers outdoor dining, right on the strip…well, elevated above the strip.

The restaurant is described as Italian cuisine with refreshing California influences.  To encourage perfect pronunciation, the menu phonetically spells out how to pronounce bastardized words like Spaghetti and Rigatoni. But let’s not focus on the pretentious and let's get to the food.

E-222: Sullied Memories



Random Vegas
The MGM Grand has 93 elevators (super casino) 

Twitpic of the week



Am I the only one who gets annoyed at the lights not affiliated with a hotel/casino in ariel photos of the Vegas strip.  I remember hearing it was this thing that rises up out of the middle of nowhere only to be disappointed, then entranced, then annoyed all in the span of 30 seconds.  It’s similar to having the lights turned on in a strip club.  You can still see all the mood lighting on but it looked way cooler when it wasn’t competing with the other lights.  This is another one of those pictures I would totally have blown up and framed for my viewing pleasure in 360 Vegas studio.  But I’ll probably just add it to the collection and enjoy it on the 1 of 4 places I enjoy all the Twitpic of the week winners in my house. 2 Macs and 2 flat screen TVs, for the record.  Thank you @Vegashotelrevs for sharing this spectacular picture
