Rosemary's Restaurant, on West Sahara, is one of my favorite restaurants in Las Vegas. Yes, it's sandwiched between a Dollar Tree and a Stein Mart, but the food is out of this world. Chefs Michael and Wendy Jordan have created menus full of rich, fresh flavors that rival those at any high-profile restaurant on the Strip. Whether for a casual lunch or a celebration dinner, I eat there every chance I get.

For those looking for a great thrill, add the Big Shot ride on your things to do in Las Vegas at the Stratosphere hotel.
The Stratosphere building itself is a Las Vegas beacon and an enginering marvel. The futuristic looking hotel stands about 1149 feet, and the Stratosphere Tower is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States and the tallest building west of the Mississippi.
On the roof of the enormous building you will find the exhilarating Big Shot.
The Stratosphere is a little intimidating for anyone with a little fear of heights and absolutely terrifying for those with a big dose.
The ride can accomodate 16 people at a time and they’re strapped in to the ride and shot skyward. This thrill ride will launch you 160 feet straight up in a mere 2.5 seconds with a speed of about 45 mph, which is basically 4Gs of force. You then drop to 0Gs and bungee up and down, then return back to the launch pad. Beware that this ride is not for the faint of heart!
Thrill seekers will love the crzy experience. Where else can you feel the ‘G’s and have your legs dangle in the Las Vegas skyline?
Only in Las Vegas!

It’s a bold statement, but Penn & Teller have promised to match all monetary funds raised by pledges and donations to “Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN)”. The two magicians were spotted at CDI Studios last Friday filming their public service announcement to encourage the Las Vegas Valley to join them as they serve as Grand Marshals for the 19th Annual AIDS Walk Las Vegas on April 14th.
It will be the seventh consecutive year that Penn & Teller will host the Penn & Teller Challenge as their AIDS Walk team.
As they discussed in their public service announcement, they promise to match all funds raised at the AIDS walk. Wouldn’t it be funny (or unfortunate) if someone like Steve Wynn pledged a couple million and Penn & Teller had to keep their promise?
