looking for advice and suggestions for restaurants and shows for las vegas. Referrals to other web sites is also ok thanks

The Dive! Restaurant is different-like being in a submarine. Try www.las-vegas-advisor.com

For shows, the Riveria has the best if you don't mind a little skin. Crazy Girls is good and also they have a show with guys who look like women celebreties. The language is a little rougher but you will die laughing. Being a male from the conservative West Texas, I had to really think about the second show, but it's the best buy in Vegas.
Breakfast at the Frontier on the Strip or at the Horseshoe downtown. The Paradise Buffet in the Fremont downtown is an excellent buy. Tuesdays is a little high but is all you can eat seafood. If you've never been and want to learn to play without going broke, go downtown. Plaza is cheasy but has 25 cent crap table and $2 blackjack. The best place to learn/play craps is at the Horseshoe at one of the tables parallel and closest to the front entrance on either end of the casino. During the day they are cheaper.

We try to get to Las Vegas a couple of times a year - the last time was in November. We saw George Carlin. If Penn & Teller are in town and you enjoy
magic don't miss them. Avoid Sigfried & Roy unless you want to see a lot of smoke and glitz for 80.00 a
tkt. We like the Italian restaurant at the Riviera - the booths are black velvet, the food is great and
it overlooks the casino. The Bacchanal at Ceaser's Palace is fun in place of a show, especially if you
enjoy a long, leisurely meal. Enjoy!

Just returned from New Years' Eve in Vegas. I reccomend the Marketplace Italian restaurant in the Monte Carlo-extremely good! Mizuno's-a Japanese restaurant at the Tropicana-great steakhouse! THe best buffet is Caesar's Palatium Buffet-it's more expensive than most but worth it- mountain of shrimp coctail and prime rib-not your usual buffet. The Comedy Stop at the Tropicana is a great comedy show.
