I am officially wrapping up an entire year of seeing shows, dining in the best and worst restaurants, staying in the dirtiest and cleanest hotels in Las Vegas. Here’s my recommendations for your 2025 travel itinerary. This is Play at Luxor and it’s the coolest new attraction to open in 2024. This is “Play” a first of it’s kind adult playplace bar and lounge designed for grown ups to let loose and compete in games of skill, logic and physical activity with plenty of nostalgic throwbacks to childhood. Taking drinking games to new levels, Play playground is an affordable solo or group activity unlike anything else anywhere. Add this to your list of Vegas things to do. #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #vegasexperience #thingstodoinvegas #vegasnews #adultplayground #vegasbars #wheretogoinvegas #luxorlasvegas #vegasreview #vegasfun #vegaslocal #vegasplanner #vegasattractions

I am officially wrapping up an entire year of seeing shows, dining in the best and worst restaurants, staying in the dirtiest and cleanest hotels in Las Vegas. Here are my recommendations for your 2025 travel itinerary. While everyone looks to get the most “bang for their buck” on a budget vacation stay, sometimes cheapest isn’t best. Much of Vegas is “you get what you pay for”. Here are 3 hotels to skip in the new year. In no particulsr order, I would avoid the allegedly newly renovated Rio, OYO and everyone’s favorite creepy clown motel Circus, Circus. Add these to your list of bad hotels and places locals should avoid on staycation. #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #bestofvegas #vegaslocal #wheretogoinvegas

I am officially wrapping up an entire year of seeing shows, dining in the best and worst restaurants, staying in the dirtiest and cleanest hotels in Las Vegas. Here are recommendations for your 2025 travel itinerary. Everyone looks to get the most “bang for their buck” on a vacation stay. Here are my top three Downtown “Old Vegas” Fremont Street Hotel recommendations, one for each price point. Plaza is inexpensive, fun and has a great location. Golden Nugget is a solid middle of the road choice with extra amenities like a full spa and shark filled swimming pool, along with comfortable rooms at an affordable price point. Circa is the only true luxury stay Downtown and is the newest & nicest resort in that part of the city. Add these to your list of clean, fun hotels and places locals should consider for a staycation. #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #bestofvegas #vegaslocal #wheretogoinvegas #downtownlasvegas #fremontstreetexperience #dtlv #oldvegas

I’ve seen 50 Cent perform in warehouses in Memphis, TN (where I’m from) decades ago and it was pure magic. His limited time residency in Las Vegas was the opposite of that. The sound was balanced poorly making it impossible to hear the performance. His hypemen were unrelenting and overbearing making it difficult to hear anything but their echos. The stage design and graphics felt like they were organized 15 minutes before the show with a Chat GPT prompt for “90’s hip hop images”. During the build up to this show, 50’s publicists suggested this would be an unforgettable night full of surprises and energy. The only surprise was the lack of energy. There was almost no crowd engagement, the calls for an “encore” began 63 minutes into the performance and he returned to do another 15 minutes before unceremoniously leaving the stage without so much as a Thank You. This was the worst live performance, for any artist, I’ve ever attended. I understand that he’s successful and doesn’t need a residency, so why do it if he doesn’t want to put any effort into it? #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #50cent #gunit #vegasshow #vegasnews

I made a video calling 50 Cent’s residency the worst show to come to Vegas. He responded. I stand by my authentic and honest review, both as someone who is a genuine fan of 50’s work and someone who reviews things by Vegas standards full time. The audio and production did not live up to Vegas standards on opening night and I was disappointed. Subsequent nights looked much better with special guests and clear audio. No disrespect to 50 or his team. #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #50cent #vegasnews #gunit #vegasreview

I am officially wrapping up an entire year of seeing shows, dining in the best and worst restaurants, staying in the dirtiest and cleanest hotels in Las Vegas. Here are my recommendations for your 2025 travel itinerary. While everyone looks to get the most “bang for their buck” on a budget vacation stay, sometimes cheapest isn’t best. Much of Vegas is “you get what you pay for”. Here are 3 hotels that are affordable and super clean. In no particular order, I would consider Sahara for a large, clean room with lots of extra and a location right on the monorail, NYNY (New York) for a great location, large modern rooms and extra nice beds or Linq for very cheap room rates, central location and basic but sparkling decor. Add these to your list of the best budget hotels ideal for tourists, families and locals on staycation. #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #bestofvegas #vegaslocal #wheretogoinvegas

Waldorf Astoria is reported to be one of the nicest hotels in Las Vegas, but is it clean? How do the amenities stack up against other luxury resorts like Wynn, Encore, Fontainebleau and Bellagio?

Here are my recommendations for your 2025 travel itinerary. With Love Always is the best restaurant to open in 2024.

Farm Basket is a Las Vegas staple for over 50 years. They’ve recently been purchased by a local family who has restored this famous fried chicken restaurant to its original recipes, including the legendary orange roll and brought back the day old “cold pack” of half priced refrigerated chicken. This used to be the place where locals would line up for chicken dinner. Over the decades it changed hands and lost some of what made it great. A new local family has purchased the brand and has used all the original recipes to make Farm Basket what it was in the 70’s and 80’s. You can expect inexpensive, high quality real food and made from scratch locally. Add Farm Basket to your must visit spot for lunch on a budget. #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #vegasfood #friedchicken #orangerolls #farmbasketlv #vegaslocal #wheretoeatinvegas #vegasonabudget #vegasgems #bestofvegas
