Chicago | Reviews: Always amusing and amazing, I have seen this show in Chicago, once in tour in my hometown Pittsburgh, and now in Vegas. Each time I am amused and amazed. Such crazy originality and artistic genius. Appropriate for all but the very young as it can get loud. Their silent interaction with body language and eye emotions with the audience is a riot. Excellent!, Traveled as a couple Definitely worth seeing a few times…, I have heard about The Blue Man Group since I was a kid. I didn’t really know what they did or if it was good. I honestly never gave it much thought. We were taking our teen twin girls to Vegas and already had a comedy show and Ká that we were going to see. I wanted to add one more show that would be fun. I decided to give Blue Man Group a try, I mean it’s been around for decades so it has to be good, right? I was wrong it was amazing, funny, special and unique. I loved every minute of it and laughed so much. I highly recommend it to everyone and especially if you’ve been like me and on the fence since you don’t know exactly what it’s about. Even now I can’t explain it fully but I loved it., Traveled with family Blue Man Group - Las Vegas, I saw this show in Las Vegas. I went with my husband, two children (ages 12 and 16) and my mother. We all enjoyed it. It gets a little slow at times, but overall it was fun, entertaining and worth the price. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d563697-Reviews-Blue_Man_Group-Chicago_Illinois.html | 4.5 | Blue Man Group | categories: Concerts Theaters Theatre & Performances | Description: Blue Man Group performances are euphoric celebrations of human connection through art, music, comedy and non-verbal communication.

Chicago | Reviews: Great club , excellent performances, full bar and food available., Great Blues bar , very good performances , one begins at 2100 the second 2230 . Very big place with foil bar . Food available self service. The place is very crowded and tables very small .Admission 20 USDLRS. Very recommended, Traveled with friends Had A Blast! Bands got more into it as night went on, Is there room for dancing? Kinda. Very small areas around both stage areas. We just found an area between chairs and ‘made it work.’
One thing that surprised us - we felt safe inside. Credit to the “no bs” bouncers keeping a tight eye on everyone - thank you - it means a lot.
Good clean fun! Amazing jazz musicians in intimate venue, Kingston Mines is a cool bar to the north of Chicago. There are 2 large rooms which have alternating jazz bands playing hour sets.
I was blown away by the calibre of the musicians - especially the bass player of the Mike Wheeler band. These guys really know their stuff and it was thrilling to see them perform up close.
There are 2 bars serving the usual drinks plus some cocktails. There is also a food kiosk where you can get nachos, fried shrimp, fries, wings etc. Cover charge was $12 (2020).
I would come back here next time I am in Chicago - money well spent supporting local talent. , Traveled with friends | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d146763-Reviews-Kingston_Mines-Chicago_Illinois.html | 4.5 | Kingston Mines | categories: Blues Bars | Description: Kingston Mines is a blues music nightclub with 2 rooms, 2 stages and 2 bands & live music all night.

Chicago | Reviews: Not much Blues but still fun, What a great evening! Just $12 for three shows was outstanding value.
There was a fabulous atmosphere and drinks reasonable too.
The night we were in there wasn’t much Blues being played, rather Prince, Hendrix, Rock n Roll, Soul, all influenced by Blues of course but not the real deal. Maybe we were unlucky but we enjoyed it nonetheless, especially when the musicians came and talked to the crowd between shows.
Surprised to see open dealing of drugs (cannabis) but guess this is legal in Illinois. Nice, laid back venue with good music, Great music the night we went. Cash only. Friendly and accommodating bartender, although the bar offerings are limited. Don't expect anything but the basics -- no "fancy" cocktails or multiple imported beer options! We almost went back a second night because the $12 entry was reasonable and the entertainment was good. Great artwork, too. I should have bought a t-shirt with one of the pictures while I was there! Authentic blues bar. You’ll need ID and vax cert to get in, cash only, We chose here because it was too far to travel across town to the place that had been recommended. So glad we did, Blue Chicago is the real deal, the $15 cover charge, was a surprise for a small bar but the atmosphere was great; blues lovers from all over the world not just the US, having a great time. Fabulous musicians supporting a powerful female singer. We went for an hour and stayed for well over 2. Drinks prices fair, water glasses topped up regularly for non drinkers. Seating very limited. Would highly recommend for a perfect night of Chicago blues. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d208911-Reviews-Blue_Chicago-Chicago_Illinois.html | 4.5 | Blue Chicago | categories: Blues Bars | Blue Chicago ; categories: Blues Bars ; ; Reviews: Not much Blues but still fun, What a great evening!

Chicago | Reviews: Blue Man Group Lives!, I have seen this show multiple times. It is always fun, especially for teens. The show is a combo pep rally, comedy act, drum show and concert. Hard to describe but always a blast. When I have relatives visiting from out of town, this is a sure fire way for them to have a good time. Afternoon Out, Went to the Blue Men Group. Theatre is older, has that older smell as soon as you walk in. Got there an hour early and enjoyed the display in the lobby (only need 15minutes to do this). Doors opened 25 minutes before the show began. Seated in middle front area row E just behind the poncho section. Not a bad seat everything was very visible- if I were to do it again may look for a seat at H, I level instead just to give a better perspective on the show (E level was just below the level of the stage). Great show! Don't show up late! , Traveled as a couple Great Show, Great Music, Great Fun, Well, it's the Blue Man Group.....the show was captivating and entertaining and for those that don't know anything about the BMG, they don't speak and they play drums with paint splattering.
We sat in Row G, 2 rows behind the "poncho zone" rows. I was shocked to see just how little "spray" there was into the crowd - not a ton of reason to where the ponchos.
Some of the acts, where they pull people in from the crowd, it's hard to tell how many of them are actually plants. The guy they used to suit up, paint and swing into the canvas backstage did not look amused or impressed. It really seemed like he was only there to do that and be done...this was the only "let down" of the show I think.
The rest was fabulous and entertaining. There are parts that I would wonder if it's kid appropriate or not but most kids may not get some of the humor behind the commentary.
On a side note, they need to figure out how to keep the bar open during the show. It's hard to carry enough adult drinks (in plastic cups) in and have them last the entire 90-ish minute show, and at $5 a beer, one would think they would want to keep the bar open the entire show., Traveled as a couple | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d4582486-Reviews-Briar_Street_Theatre-Chicago_Illinois.html | 4 | Briar Street Theatre | categories: Theaters | Briar Street Theatre ; categories: Theaters ; ; Reviews: Blue Man Group Lives!, I have seen this show multiple times.

Chicago | Reviews: Fun for teens, overpriced, We took our teen daughters here (16,18) while in town on vacation. It was a nice way to spend an evening when everyone was tired from exploring the city earlier in the day. If your kids like unique photos, this is the spot. About 1/3 through, one of my kids asked “Wait, is this one of those selfie museums?” It’s not, there’s definitely more too it, and there are some very cool exhibits, and there’s lots to interact with, but it’s also not super deep. There’s positive messaging, throughout, though, which was nice. We went when it wasn’t busy, and had it been crowded it wouldn’t have been as much fun. We had ample time to explore the exhibits. The reason I gave it 3 stars I read of 4 was that it’s significantly overpriced at $30/ticket., Traveled with family Don't overthink it - just be open, I went into this with no expectations per se and really enjoyed myself. Art is very subjective so the wndr museum is likely to impact people differently. Personally, I liked how some of the installations encourage people to let go a little and just go with the flow. Positivity, creativity and self expression seemed to be a subtle theme throughout which I appreciated. Excellent place to create memories, If you are into medium works of art, this is place is for you. Variety things to do such as places to take pictures, doing little drawing interactions from others, and also live illusion photos. There is a lot to see so I would say just take your time throughout all the different rooms of art. One take away I loved about coming to the museum was at the end you write a take away from coming to the museum and once you were done you would put your results in a tub that would fly your message up in this net inside there were many other people results where there. I found it pretty cool. Overall, I would go back if I had a chance to and even with a group of people. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d15319112-Reviews-WNDR_Museum_Chicago-Chicago_Illinois.html | 3.5 | WNDR Museum Chicago | categories: Speciality Museums Art Museums | Description: WNDR Museum is an interactive experience: a multi-sensory showcase of art and technology.

Chicago | Reviews: A great stand-up comedy experience, There were 4 of us for a Saturday evening performance. The venue is smallish so there won't be a bad seat. We like to interact with comedians so we paid to get 2nd row, just behind folks who were stage-side. The venue serves alcohol. There's a lobby bar, plus wait staff to take orders and serve inside the venue. The atmosphere is fun, active, but not earsplitting loud. If you have issues with people using obscenities, then don't attend a performance here. Also, don't attend if you suffer "trigger word sensitivity". The performers are not out to insult the audience, but you need to be prepared for LOTS of off-color jokes about sensitive topics. We had a great time and really enjoyed the energy of the audience. World-class comedy and improv, We haven't laughed so hard in a long time; we hope the actors can break through to the big leagues, as they were very talented. We saw the show on the main stage, and it was almost three hours, with two intermissions, so it's great value for the money. Definitely would go again next time we're in Chicago. A bonus is that it's located in an area with lots of restaurants, so you can easily grab dinner before the show. It's also just a few blocks from a CTA train station (Brown Line). Funny without being foul, Hadn’t been here in many years so decided to check out the matinee performance of the “best of Second City”.
The six comics were outstanding and I expect to see some of them on SNL at some point given their skill and quick thinking. The show was a mix of short sketches and improv with bits of live and recorded music. We just got the general seating tickets ($59) instead of the premium ones (front rows). It’s an intimate space and the voices are not amplified so there were a couple of times we missed a few words but overall it was good.
Unlike some clubs, there is No Food or drink minimum although they serve food and drinks if you want.
Seating is pretty cozy but we lucked out with being on the end and so it didn’t feel too crowded for us. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours on a cold Chicago afternoon. I bought our tickets a couple of weeks ahead online.

Chicago | Reviews: Escape Room - Chicago Style, My family and I were drawn to Escape Artistry by the creative, Chicago-themed game rooms. We were also pleased to find an affordable, private escape room. We signed up for the Railcar. The journey through the Wicker Park building was very exciting. There was an old elevator and neat paintings. The room itself was very cool and made from recycled materials.
Though I've done a few rooms around Chicago, some of my family were brand new to escape games. This room had puzzle that ranged in difficulty, so everyone had something they could contribute.

Virtual Escape Room - The Dollhouse, So, you may not be able to actually visit Chicago during this pandemic, but you can “visit” on Zoom!

Our ages are 68, 43, 41, 38, 14 and 12. Each one of us had something to add and helped figure out the clues. The experience was great for a family group but would work for any type of group. This was our first escape room as a family. We plan to do another one and will definitely visit them in person once the pandemic is under control. , Thank you, Agent, for taking the time to write this review!

We were also pleased to find an affordable, private escape room. We signed up for the Railcar. The journey through the Wicker Park building was very exciting. There was an old elevator and neat paintings. The room itself was very cool and made from recycled materials.

Chicago | Reviews: Making Memories, We came from out of town to celebrate my daughter’s 6th Birthday. She wanted to visit the AG store, cafe and salon. We also were able to get a personal shopper, which was really nice.
First, we ate…the cafe is adorable. The food is really good (a little pricey but it’s AG). Next, was the salon for my daughter and her doll. Her doll got her ears pierced and her hair done. My daughter got her hair done. The stylist was wonderful. The doll’s hair stylist sat right beside my daughter and did the dolls hair as my daughter was having her hair done.
Next was the personal shopper. She was amazing and walked us through the whole store. She told us about all the dolls and accessories. My daughter picked things that she wanted and the personal shopper rang everything up and bagged it all so nicely!
Overall, it is so cute and a memory we will always have! It is pricey. Really pricey…but…she will only be little for so long…and we will always remember this!, Thank you for celebrating your Birthday Girl with us at American Girl! Your rating and review are very rewarding to us-as these are exactly the moments that we want our guests to experience. You have made us very proud to have played a small part in a big day for a special 6 year old!

The main attraction was AG Place. The staff inside were quite welcoming and helpful. We got the dolls ears pierced and their hair done. Very exciting for the girls. Then we had the afternoon tea. OH MY goodness what a gem! I’ve spent 60-70$ per person at fancy teas downtown before and gotten less food and service. The dolls are sat at the table too, and the food is not only presented beautifully, it is delicious.

It is also very overwhelming for young girls, and we saw many melt-downs.
Their services are so great; we sent Molly the doll off to the hospital to be brought back to good; she apparently had glaucoma and needed her hips replaced. Normal stuff for a 30+ year old, huh? She'll come back wearing a hospital gown and hopefully with pretty hair again., Thank you for sharing your rating and review for us Kathi!

Chicago | Reviews: Great view for a great occasion, This park has incredible views of the city down the South Branch of the Chicago River. If you happen to catch a good sunset in the summer months, it will provide an incredible view. of the city along with the sunset. Additionally, this park is away from the crowds, so you get more privacy and space to yourself. In addition, there is plenty of street parking the area for quick access to the park.
I chose this location for my proposal and was extremely happy with that decision. Incredible view of the city, We stopped here on Memorial weekend to relax. It was a busy weekend: both parking lots were full and streets were jammed. When we finally found a parking spot, we figured we get some bubble tea and walk to the park and enjoy the scenic view. Nice Park, It is a nice park located in the Chinatown residential area. Therefore, it is real hard to find a parking spot close to the park. The park is pretty with a nice river view and a scenic view of the Chicago skyline. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d4584875-Reviews-Ping_Tom_Memorial_Park-Chicago_Illinois.html | 4 | Ping Tom Memorial Park | categories: Parks | Ping Tom Memorial Park ; categories: Parks ; ; Reviews: Great view for a great occasion, This park has incredible views of the city down the South Branch of the Chicago River.

Chicago | Reviews: City Market at Daley Plaza, Nowadays, Daley Plaza is the host to one of the Chicago City Markets, where you can buy fresh food, baked goods, fruits and vegetables, plants, flowers, and some rare finds, too.
Located in a very busy part of the city, the plaza is surrounded by Daley Center, Chicago City Council, Chicago Temple, some other administrative, government buildings, and imposing skyscrapers. The Picasso Statue, located here as well, is barely visible, though. But the market definitely adds some action to this moderately sized plaza, especially during summertime (in winter, it is traditionally popular Christkindlemarket here).
The market is managed by the city Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE). From what I could see, the market was not too busy that day, allowing customers to shop in a not too crowded environment, and the current rules of social distancing seemed to be followed willingly and very well.
Considering the location, the law enforcement presence on the premises made absolute sense, especially that the officers were extremely polite and amiable with customers! go at off hours, We went to Christkindlmarket this year. Same booths. I like looking, but things are pretty expensive. We went on a Tue afternoon & it wasn't too crowded. Definitely a place to skip on the weekends if you hate crowds.
Hot chocolate, a small cookie & a decorative mug & I was done. Gorgeous day, fun times, This is such a beautiful place to hang out. We went here after the art museum. Its fun for little ones. Park for kids, bridge, trails... so lovely to have a place to hang out in the city.

Chicago | Reviews: Best $15 ever spent, a must when in Chicago, Amazing night with a fabulous band, which were so good that Buddy, yes the man himself, got up on stage to sing with them.
It blew us away.
The club has well appointed tables so all can see with great sound and a dance area. Service was brilliant and the prices were really reasonable (a lot cheaper than most pubs)
Wish we had eaten there as the food looked scrummy too.
Best night of our holidays. Thanks Buddy, Traveled as a couple Why are there only 5 stars on this thing?, Disclaimer: I have been to this joint several times. We went to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary on Monday night because: a) it was our anniversary b) the Buddy Guy's Legends Monday night jam is the best music value I have seen anywhere in the US. $10 gets you in the door to see Brother John Kattke lead the Legends House Band for a 60+ minute set, followed by local musicians. This is a continuation of the Checker Board Lounge's Monday Blues Jam from back in the day. Last night was a Fat Tuesday New Orleans blues evening, but about 80 minus into it, the MC, Robert, introduces the owner of the establishment, Buddy Guy, who comes on and performs with Brother John for another 30 minutes!!! Pictures, social media posts, autographs, drinks for the house, you are damn right it was Buddy Guy! Half the audience was from South America. Legendary!, After first seeing Buddy Guy in the UK more than 30 years ago so it was great to finally make it here. My one reservation was that it would be an overpriced tourist trap; however I'm pleased to say that it's the real deal.
I arrived around 7pm so there was no line (or cover charge) but the place was already filling up and happily I got one of the last available tables.
It's a good sized venue with a large stage area, nevertheless I was impressed at how intimate it was. Matt Hendricks was the opening act the night I went and he put on a great show. hearing an authentic blues singer in a legendary setting can't be beat. There was a $10 cover charge to hear the main band from 9pm which seemed very reasonable.
The menu offers is good solid bar food at surprisingly reasonable prices. Fine dinining it aint but the burger I had was as good as any in Chicago. There's also a really good selection of beers.
Really wish I could get there in January and see the man himself. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d103789-Reviews-Buddy_Guy_s_Legends-Chicago_Illinois.html | 4.5 | Buddy Guy's Legends | categories: Blues Bars | Description: Buddy Guy's Legends include his own reputation, plus the amazing array of local and national blues performers drawn to this music hotspot. | Buddy Guy's Legends ; categories: Blues Bars ; Description: Buddy Guy's Legends include his own reputation, plus the amazing array of local and national blues performers drawn to this music hotspot. ; Reviews: Best $15 ever spent, a must when in Chicago, Amazing night with a fabulous band, which were so good that Buddy, yes the man himself, got up on stage to sing with them.

My one reservation was that it would be an overpriced tourist trap; however I'm pleased to say that it's the real deal.
I arrived around 7pm so there was no line (or cover charge) but the place was already filling up and happily I got one of the last available tables.
It's a good sized venue with a large stage area, nevertheless I was impressed at how intimate it was. Matt Hendricks was the opening act the night I went and he put on a great show. hearing an authentic blues singer in a legendary setting can't be beat. There was a $10 cover charge to hear the main band from 9pm which seemed very reasonable.
The menu offers is good solid bar food at surprisingly reasonable prices. Fine dinining it aint but the burger I had was as good as any in Chicago. There's also a really good selection of beers.
Really wish I could get there in January and see the man himself. | [

Chicago | Reviews: Worth every penny!, One of our top experiences in years of coming to Chicago. The group of actors were fun and raunchy, breaking down Macbeth into a side splitting tale that allowed anyone to follow along. If you have a questionable sense of humor, like to drink (or at least don't mind being one of the sober few), you will thoroughly enjoy every minute of this "Whose Line Is It Anyways" meets Shakespeare production.
There wasn't a bad seat in the tiny house. We bid on the King and Queen thrones and won, spending the evening being pampered, part of the production, and on the only seats with cushions. It was worth the $.
Be prepared to spend 90 minutes laughing, being included in the actors scenes, given free drinks here and there, and blushing once or twice.
Do not come here if swearing offends you, you mind sitting cheek to cheek with your neighbor, you frequent AA, or dirty jokes make you uncomfortable., Traveled as a couple Classic Chicago off beat experience!, Drunk Shakespeare FIVE STARS!!
May I make a suggestion? If you’re looking for something fun to do and you are fond of Shakespeare or even if you are not, it doesn’t matter because this interactive play is something familiar and yet all together new. Drunken Shakespeare, running at the Lion Theater 182 N Wabash is a delight!
The theater is a little hard to find if you’re not familiar with the area. However, if you are aware that what you’re looking for is not a big marquee like the Chicago Theater, but instead a dark tinted glass store front with a large sidewalk sign that reads, “Drunken Shakespeare this way”, you should be set.
The venue is relatively small and is set up to resemble a Speakeasy complete with fabulous and very STRONG, vintage and deliciously Murdery cocktails.
You check in and are quickly guided into the back room (because there is literally no lobby). Through the red curtains you will be greeted by members of the cast with trays of shots (tasty, strong) to loosen you up. The room, rectangular in shape, has bench seating lining the room and 3-4 levels going up from there. The walls are stacked with bookcases that you would expect to open to reveal a secret passage somewhere although not so.
The characters are comical and the more they drink the funnier that become. The play itself, Macbeth, is told with a new and comical spin. It’s a melding of classic monologues, improv, current events and much, much more. Guests are encouraged to participate and...drink. It’s great fun!
The drink menu like I said has a variety of selections one would expect when one thinks of an old-time, classic speakeasy, complete with lot’s of whiskey. Cocktails come in vintage glassware and although somewhat small in size, pack a hearty punch! I had an Irish coffee that was very strong and not the coffee part either. I’d say the average price of a classic cocktail runs about $14-15 dollars. They also serve Beer, Champs, and soft drinks and a few snacks. Kettle chips, hummus and pita, caviar and chocolate.
If you’re disabled and worried about stairs, don’t. There is accessibility. I suggest calling the box office ahead of time giving them a heads up. (Makes everything go smoother whenever you attend anything.)
Tickets can be found on Goldstar and drunkShakespeare.com, Traveled with friends Worthy of six stars, The title is pretty much all you need to know about this show. Upon entering you are offered a shot and escorted to you seat by the crew where the actors get to know the audience. If you're shy don't sit in the front row, they will include you in the shenanigans.
If you want to laugh so hard your face hurts and get to see some truly fantastic actors doing brilliant Shakespeare intermixed with improv that would give Who's Line Is It Anyway a run for it's money, go see this show. You will not be disappointed. , Traveled as a couple | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d17441351-Reviews-Drunk_Shakespeare-Chicago_Illinois.html | 5 | Drunk Shakespeare | categories: Theaters Comedy Clubs Theatre & Performances | Description: "The best thing to ever happen to the theater" Slate Magazine "A live action Drunk History" TimeOut Magazine "Zany, rowdy and debaucherous" New York Times.

Chicago | Reviews: Decent Time at Taste of Chicago, I have always wanted to go to the Taste of Chicago and planned a trip with my friend in July. We decided to go on Saturday and made a point to get there at 10:50 am so we could eat early to eat lunch. Boy are we glad we did and the weather was great although there was no real shade. The security line was not bad at this time, maybe 5 min wait. It also made it easy to eat at the popular vendors, Harold's Chicken (wings great), Robinsons rib (boneless rib sandwich/awful tasteless patty- McRIb is better than this), Porkchop(barely any brisket on nachos for $12/skip this place if they come back) Seoul Taco (beef taco great), Chicago Dog House (tried snake/interesting), Esperenza Delights (mango cup and Elote was interesting) and think BJ Market had the catfish bites, Billy Goat Tavern (half cheeseborger) which was decent for $4. If you want nachos with Italian beef go to Billy Goat's Tavern. From what we could tell, there was only 1 vendor selling water, gatorade which didn't make sense. We brought a water from our hotel and glad we did.
The reason for the 4 stars is they only had 30 total food vendors and was expecting more so not sure if this was due to 1st year coming back. For Chicago, they only had 1 hot dog vendor from what we could tell which was a surprise. Eli Cheesecake was celebrating 42 years and had a 1000 lb cheesecake which they gave away for free. I had the chocolate chip. This was a nice way to end our lunch.
We saw the people in line when we left and I saw the reviews and they were right. We felt bad for them in the long security lines since it looked like it would take at least 60-90 min to get through and then turn around and stand in hour long lines at popular vendors (hopefully they did not run out of food).
I would not make a point to go again, but glad I was able to try it at least once. If you like state fairs, this may be a better option. I'm glad the Taste is free, it was good they offered taste prices ($3-$12 dependent on vendor) since they stop doing tickets or I may have been disappointed if I had to pay to get in. Taste of Chicago--first time visitor --a great experience!, We attended the Taste of Chicago on opening day 2018 --we loved it! It got very busy starting at 4 pm, but the food was a great introduction to Chicago and beyond!! We tried the cheesy Kimchee fries as well as the mini-Chicago style dogs, and Rainbow ice cream cone!, Traveled with family Chicago favorite, We just happened to be in town at the right time! Taste of Chicago is a fun opportunity to walk, enjoy Grant Park and snack to your heart’s (and stomach’s) content. Arriving at 11 am when the gates were just opening gave us the chance to see all the vendors when lines were short. Admission is free, and lots of interesting choices, but definitely not a bargain. Food/beverage tickets are sold in strips of 14 for $10. Full size items were 10-16 tickets, while “taste” sizes were 4-6 tickets (half a Chicago hot dog was about 2 bites for 6 tickets). The best value we found was a taste size frozen fruit bar for 3 tickets - great on a hot day. Remember a hat and sunscreen, too. The whole venue was very clean and well-organized.

Chicago | Reviews: Awesome live music experience, Great place to get a live music experience. It was my son's first live jazz experience, and he enjoyed every minute of it. I was glad that we got to see Greg Abate as he is a very talented on the saxophone and flute. The staff were all exceptional. The welcomed us, took us to our seats. The waitress bringing drinks was also great and friendly. Speaking of drinks, they are priced lower than most places in the area. It was great to be able to get a couple drinks without needing a second mortgage on the house.
Overall, this was a great experience and I would recommend anyone that wants to experience some live jazz in the area, this is the place to go. CJSC featuring Dee Alexander = Good Vibe Goosebumps!, My 17 year old son and I purchased VIP tickets to the Jazz Showcase for 8/4/2021 and it was amazing! Chicago Soul Jazz Collective featuring Dee Alexander played the night we attended. They were fabulous and extremely talented musicians. I had goosebumps on every song! My teen son also enjoyed it so much that he was smiling the whole evening!
This club is a part of Jazz history in Chicago and has an outstanding vintage vibe and decor yet is very clean. The restrooms were super clean! The drinks were great! For the price we paid, this was one of the best money we spent during an entire week in Chicago! We will definitely return and fingers crossed that Chicago Jazz Soul Collective with Dee Alexander is there! Wonderfull place for a drink and live Jazz, We were looking for a good place in Chicago to listen to live Jazz and the Jazz Showcase was highly recommended. Went here for a late 10:00 PM show and just had a great night listening to some really good music and a couple of drinks before calling it a night. The tickets were cash only but the bar does accept credit cards. They serve no food here but I was told you can bring food - not 100% sure so I would confirm. You step back in time here as the place has the feel of a 1940’s Jazz nightclub. It’s been here since 1947 and is noted as the premier place for Jazz in Chicago. We saw the Carmen Lundy Quartet and they were just over the top good. Great vocals and musicianship.

Speaking of drinks, they are priced lower than most places in the area. It was great to be able to get a couple drinks without needing a second mortgage on the house.
Overall, this was a great experience and I would recommend anyone that wants to experience some live jazz in the area, this is the place to go. CJSC featuring Dee Alexander = Good Vibe Goosebumps!, My 17 year old son and I purchased VIP tickets to the Jazz Showcase for 8/4/2021 and it was amazing! Chicago Soul Jazz Collective featuring Dee Alexander played the night we attended. They were fabulous and extremely talented musicians. I had goosebumps on every song! My teen son also enjoyed it so much that he was smiling the whole evening!
This club is a part of Jazz history in Chicago and has an outstanding vintage vibe and decor yet is very clean. The restrooms were super clean! The drinks were great! For the price we paid, this was one of the best money we spent during an entire week in Chicago! We will definitely return and fingers crossed that Chicago Jazz Soul Collective with Dee Alexander is there! Wonderfull place for a drink and live Jazz, We were looking for a good place in Chicago to listen to live Jazz and the Jazz Showcase was highly recommended. Went here for a late 10:00 PM show and just had a great night listening to some really good music and a couple of drinks before calling it a night. The tickets were cash only but the bar does accept credit cards. They serve no food here but I was told you can bring food - not 100% sure so I would confirm. You step back in time here as the place has the feel of a 1940’s Jazz nightclub. It’s been here since 1947 and is noted as the premier place for Jazz in Chicago. We saw the Carmen Lundy Quartet and they were just over the top good. Great vocals and musicianship. Really cool place and cannot wait to return., Traveled as a couple | [

Chicago | Reviews: Amazing music!, That is a place where you must book a table and be aware that it is booked only for one show even though the club normally offers 3 shows per night. Of course you can enjoy all shows if you book tables for them and pay the fee for each of the shows. Anyways, the place is great! Music was amazing and the food and drinks were fair enough. We enjoyed 1:15h of great music and had a good meal. In my opinion, if we could stay longer and enjoy more music would be amazing! However that is how clubs seems to work around here!, Traveled as a couple A fun introduction to Chicago, I arrived on a Tuesday and wanted to hear some live music. It was my first time in Chicago and I wanted something in walking distance. Andy's proved to be perfect for my needs. The doors open at 5:30 with the show scheduled for 6:00.
The MC came onstage and announced the band, the Windy City Ramblers was held up in traffic but would play their full 75 minute set. The band began to arrive piecemeal and the show started with a tuba, trombone and drums. I didn't know what to expect but some dixie land jamming ensued. Andy's is an intimate setting and I chose to sit at the bar as I was alone. Gradually other members started showing up. By the end there were also piano, trumpet/vocals and sax players on the stage.
While I see other reviewers didn't like the "silence" policy, if you're interested in listening and not talking, Andy's was perfect.
I had the fried calamari and stuffed shrimp for dinner and was very pleasantly surprised. The shrimp were huge and stuffed with polenta, served on a bed of asparagus in a pool of marinara.
It was not very crowded for the early show on a Tuesday night so I practically had a personal bartender at my service. All in all a great start to a quick (48 hours) trip to Chicago. Andy's jazz club is fantastic, Andy's was amazing. We went to the club for 3 nights during our visit to Chicago. Each visit was unique and excellent. Staff were extremely friendly and the musicians were incredible. We had dinner one night and it was delicious.

Chicago | Reviews: Best Spot in Chicago for Laser Hair Removal, I highly recommend Allure De Vie for laser hair removal! Roberta is highly trained with years of experience and makes the process very easy. Prices are great, booking appts is simple with reasonable availability, their equipment is top notch and makes the process significantly less painful than other machines I've experienced at other locations. I did a lot of research on different locations before selecting Allure De Vie and the upfront work paid off because this is truly the best medspa for this treatment. Great service and expeeience!, Service was super top notch. We were running late, but the woman who checked us in made sure we optimized our time to get the whole experience. We used a Groupon for a couples massage which included an hour of massages, time in a separate room with really delicious champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, and then followed up with time in a steam room. Everything was clean as well. I would definitely patronize again with it without the Groupon!, Traveled as a couple Super Professional & Cost Effective Laser Hair Removal, I came here as two girlfriends recommended it and it was well-worth it.
Hands-down the most professional, cost efficient and thorough laser hair removal salon I've been to.
Everything was on time, the customer service experience was 5/5 and the technician took her time and explained everything along the way.
The salon is also very clean, and nicely decorated, which made for an even better experience. Can't wait to be back for the next session.

Chicago | Reviews: Incredible talent!, Cabaret ZaZou is a show unlike anything you’ve seen before, which makes it a great option if you are looking for a change of pace compared to a typical night out in the city. The show features a combination of delicious food and beautifully designed drinks all while enjoying a combination of world class acrobatics, singing, comedy, and improv.
Immediately when you enter the venue you are transported into a theatrical circus of sorts, which is surprising, given its unassuming location on the 14th floor of the Cambria Hotel. The authentic Belgian Spiegeltent is magnificent, and stepping inside it gives way to the circular stage surrounded by dining tables, which provide a great view regardless of seating.
The show itself features a variety of incredible vocalists, acrobatics, and comedic efforts that make it entertaining to a wide variety of audiences. The MC “Fortissimo” keeps the energy up and the audience engaged between acts with his comedy and quick wit. If you’re looking for a refreshingly new dining experience and some world class talent, I highly recommend giving Cabaret ZaZou a shot - you’ll be in for a great time!, Thank you so much for the beautiful review. We certainly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about your experience with us. Please come back and visit us again very soon!, Written , January 7, 2023, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. One of the highlights of our trip to Chicago, My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Cabernet ZAzou! It was like no other performance we have attended - the talent showcased here was phenomenal! There wasn’t a bad seat in the house, staff were attentive and and the meal was delicious! Everyone in the place was thrilled with the performance - I truly can’t say enough good things about it, and would recommend this to anyone looking for a truly unique experience while in Chicago! I would definitely attend another show when visiting Chicago in the future., Traveled as a couple Great show decent food, We were in town for auto show and were just walking through the theatre district trying to find last minute show for the evening. We stopped in and they had a few tickets left for a Friday night show and since we could knock out dinner and a show we did it. We were dressed too casual really, they like if you get in the spirit and dress fancy but many were also casual. We sat at a table with a couple our age and had good conversation. I think they try and sit you with people you may get along with. Before the show you can get a drink and we also shopped the gift shop to add some bling to our attire (a mask for me and a boa and shiny brooch for my wife).
The show is interactive and even though we were in the very back they engaged us. The seats in the back were nice. The theatre is in the round and the outside sits higher so you still get a great seat. The talent wad all top notch. Wonderful singing, comedy, and acrobatics. Very entailing. I would say the food was good not great but no complaints really. We ate it all..lol we were very hungry.
Highly recommend but you will spend alot of you drink and do upcharges on food like filet mignon. , Robert - Thank you for the kind review.

Chicago | Reviews: Great Corporate Bonding Experience, We have a younger employee base and have been having a hard time finding activities that keep folks off their phone and engaging with their peers. Eddie was able to do just that he made sure to keep our group fully engaged and supportive of one another. I highly recommend this activity for any corporation looking to increase camaraderie.
Thank you Eddie for a great evening! Such a blast!, I went here with a couple of friends for my first time axe throwing, and we had a great time! Ashley the Brave was a terrific instructor -- she made the process super fun and made everyone feel welcome. If you've never tried axe throwing, I would highly recommend it!
Note: It was a bit difficult to find the location, because it is located within the Roosevelt University Performing Arts building, and there wasn't signage outside that I could see. Enter the building at 410 S Michigan, and Ragnarok is located on the eighth floor. So much fun!, I did a Groupon to Ragnarok Axe Throwing for my boyfriend's birthday. John was our instructor and he was awesome. Learning the rules and technique didn't take long at all, and then we were playing games and laughing and having a great time. I really liked that we were teamed up with other axe throwers. Made it a fun group experience!
I highly recommend this place. One thing I will say, it gets pretty toasty in there, so wear lighter clothes.

Chicago | Reviews: Top Notch Experience, This is the third escape room company I've been to. We went with a group of friends, some mildly experienced, some brand new. We all had a great time.
The game master was incredibly helpful explaining the rules, types of locks, and getting us ready for the room.
The room itself was high quality. The props and setting really made it feel like the oval office. The puzzles were varied and fun to solve, bringing together everyone's input to get through them all.
I would definitely return to another room of theirs and would recommend to others. The Escape From the Whitehouse, Myself and a family member partook in the Whitehouse Escape experience. Our “Agent”/ Instructor was pleasant and helpful throughout our experience . We received a briefing explaining some of the important Do’s and Don’ts of the escape room experience. We were mixed with another group of 3. The experience was fun, frustrating and , informative. We learned to communicate , ask for help, use each other’s strong points,and above all have fun. The child from the other group brought valuable clues and perspectives that some of the adults did not see. Team work is a must to get though the experience and having someone to organize / take notes or clues is helpful to keep you on track. My family had fun . The mixed group as a whole consisted of first time escapees and some accomplished and experienced escapees. Would definitely do it again., Team work is key, and we are glad you agree, agent!

Chicago | Reviews: An architecture masterpiece in the millennium park ., The Jewish Architect Frank Gehry designed this 40 meters high masterpiece donated by Jay Pritzker to the city of Chicago. Maybe the number one attraction in the Millennium park . Open air performances and concerts with perfect acoustics., Traveled with friends Great Venue Space Within the Park, While we did not get to see an event here, it was neat just to walk through it. This is another great park feature in Millennium Park. It is a beautiful venue set in the park with skyscrapers for a backdrop. Still the stage and overhead metal tubing are added features to the venue that create their own enclosed space in a wide open area. Guggenheim-esque outdoor venue, This is just an awesome looking venue. The way the metal bends it almost looks liquid. It is a perfect pairing with the Bean. There are plenty of seats and a massive lawn behind the seats. When the venue isn't being used the lawn doubles as a very well-maintained park. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d4476400-Reviews-Jay_Pritzker_Pavilion-Chicago_Illinois.html | 4.5 | Jay Pritzker Pavilion | categories: Theatre & Performances | Description: Suggested duration | Jay Pritzker Pavilion ; categories: Theatre & Performances ; Description: Suggested duration ; Reviews: An architecture masterpiece in the millennium park ., The Jewish Architect Frank Gehry designed this 40 meters high masterpiece donated by Jay Pritzker to the city of Chicago.

Chicago | Reviews: Couldn't ask for a better place for jazz in Chicago, We wanted to experience some great jazz while on a short trip to Chicago and we are so happy that we landed in this jazz club rather than anywhere else. This was very close to our hotel on the Magnificent Mile. The band was phenomenal, vibrant, vivacious, entertaining and highly professional. We were that the band did not have a sax or a trumpet so common for a jazz club, but they have done just beautifully without these instruments.
I had walk-in general admission tickets for which we paid $50 for 2. We were totally fine in the GA seating rather than VIP. Unless you want to be front and center be 10 inches away from the musicians (not sure it's good in COVID times anyway), you don't really need VIP tickets. Just go with GA and save yourself some money.
I am not sure if it was a 2 drink minimum, but we purchased 1 and they were not exuberantly overpriced by Chicago standards. Winters Jazz Club, Visiting Chicago we wanted to experience a Chicago jazz club but we were concerned about COVID. The Concierge at the Palmer House recommended Winters Jazz Club as small, intimate and authentic. It was all of these and we experienced a wonderful evening of fantastic jazz. The Club seats only about 100 people at small tables for two, and every seat has a good view of the stage. Lovely staff, wonderful jazz quintet, an all around great evening., Traveled with friends wonderful experience, I'm going to join the long list of Reviewers rating this venue a 5! We were first-timers, attending this past week. Initially, we were surprised by the size of the venue- it was smaller than we expected which contributed to the very intimate feel. We did VIP seating but that really isn't particularly critical other than a little bit better sight lines with the performers; certainly, you will be able to hear just fine from anywhere. The music was outstanding- Jo Ann Daugherty Trio with special guest, Henry Johnson. Several very polite wait staff so getting drinks was easy. I highly recommend this for anyone seeking a very relaxing, high quality evening out. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d11958704-Reviews-Winter_s_Jazz_Club-Chicago_Illinois.html | 4.5 | Winter's Jazz Club | categories: Bars & Clubs Jazz Bars | Description: Chicago's new home for straight-ahead, classic, Live Jazz 5 nights a week in the Streeterville neighborhood, 3 blocks West of Navy Pier! | Winter's Jazz Club ; categories: Bars & Clubs Jazz Bars ; Description: Chicago's new home for straight-ahead, classic, Live Jazz 5 nights a week in the Streeterville neighborhood, 3 blocks West of Navy Pier! ; Reviews: Couldn't ask for a better place for jazz in Chicago, We wanted to experience some great jazz while on a short trip to Chicago and we are so happy that we landed in this jazz club rather than anywhere else.

Chicago | Reviews: Well-run and fun, We have been to Team vs. Time twice now and we will be back. The rooms are challenging, but not impossible. We have two children, ages 9 and 11, and both of them made important discoveries, without which we would not have been able to solve the room. So everyone got to feel important and useful. The staff member was very polite and helpful. , Traveled with family Challenging and Fun with Friendly Staff. Highly Recommend the Lost Book of Spells Experience!, The title says it all. We had a group of 6 teens and adults. Only one person in the group had done an escape room experience before. We all contributed to solve various problems presented, and we ended up finding the lost book of spells with only 4 seconds remaining! It was quite fun. There is nothing scary or frightening, so that was good. And every escape experience here is a private affair- they don't partner you up with another group. The two young adults working that evening were polite and seemed genuinely interested in their jobs.
, Traveled with family Really fun!!!, My friends and I went as a group of 4 and it was so much fun! We did the Gangster's gamble and the scenario was simple but intriguing. I loved how we weren't just in 1 room. We had to go through 3 rooms total, looking for clues and unlocking locks to get to the final item. The escape room was so creative, challenging, and exciting!

We are the room escape for room escape enthusiasts! ; Reviews: Well-run and fun, We have been to Team vs. Time twice now and we will be back. The rooms are challenging, but not impossible. We have two children, ages 9 and 11, and both of them made important discoveries, without which we would not have been able to solve the room. So everyone got to feel important and useful. The staff member was very polite and helpful. , Traveled with family Challenging and Fun with Friendly Staff. Highly Recommend the Lost Book of Spells Experience!, The title says it all. We had a group of 6 teens and adults. Only one person in the group had done an escape room experience before. We all contributed to solve various problems presented, and we ended up finding the lost book of spells with only 4 seconds remaining! It was quite fun. There is nothing scary or frightening, so that was good. And every escape experience here is a private affair- they don't partner you up with another group. The two young adults working that evening were polite and seemed genuinely interested in their jobs.

Chicago | Reviews: Magic Penthouse really hit the spot after a long workday!, Magic Penthouse really hit the spot after a long workday! I went solo and was immediately introduced to fun, like-minded people. I was transported into a world of multiple live, simultaneous shows. It was a feast for the senses and the hosts treating me like a VIP make me feel like an included part of the overall experience. The venue was a colorful and lively Latin American theme, with top notch drinks and the plentiful food was super on point. The acts combined humor, skill, and world class magic knowledge. I honestly can't say enough about how impressed I was. I would highly recommend this entertainment concept with no reservations. If you haven't visited already, get your tickets now! Once in a Lifetime Experience, Magic is an art. The only magic I'd really been exposed to in my life was stage shows - where someone gets up and performs for a while and gets a couple audience volunteers and that's about it. Magic Penthouse on the other hand spends the VAST majority of the time performing closeup magic, something which literally no other place in the city does. There is something so different about magic that's performed literally right in front of your eyes. It takes another level of presentation, and another level of skill from anything I'd ever seen in my life.
Magic Penthouse will without a doubt be one of the best nights of your life. The magicians are literally world class, drinks and food are plentiful and delicious, and you'll get a night to go back to a time when you were a kid, and life was simpler. A time where there were more questions than answers, more wonder and mystery and that's something I haven't found at any other place in the world. Spectacular, Loved every minute of the Magic Penthouse, what a great experience we had. We didn't know what to expect and we were not disappointed. The magicians were great, each one was unique, it was so cool to stand there right in front of them and be a part of their magic. The location was lovely, service was great as far as drinks, there were a few appetizers but like they recommend you should have dinner beforehand. Loved the idea that you had to dress, just made the night feel even more special. We will definitely be attending again and bringing some friends. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d10797814-Reviews-The_Magic_Penthouse-Chicago_Illinois.html | 5 | The Magic Penthouse | categories: Theatre & Performances | Description: Imagine sitting on a rooftop, in the heart of downtown Chicago, with your favorite drink in hand, listening to live music, enjoying delicious food and awesome company, all while watching the most impossible magic.

Chicago | Reviews: Great band, lousy drinks prices!, Having been before to the downstairs area of HoB we had a decent idea of what to expect when we went to a gig upstairs. The venue staff were friendly, and the gig itself was outstanding (check out Here Come The Mummies if you like funk/jazz!!) but the downgrade of stars was for the slightly difficult layout of the venue when full (it was) and the totally ridiculous price of the drinks! As a result we had just the one drink, and would pick most of the other venues for blues in Chicago of HoB for that alone unless it was one of our must-see bands. Sort it out guys - after paying 80 bucks to get in you're pricing anyone except the well off out of your venue, and I'm sure that wasn't the vision when you opened! VIP Issues, We came from out of town for a concert and paid for VIP. We ended up on the 2nd Balcony. We had to walk up and down steps a few times as people kept guiding us up and down until we found our spots. Once there our waitress checked on us once and when I flagged her down for a water she dug out the most expensive one she could manage to find (we saw almost everyone else walking around with cheaper brand ones). We also heard her tell a guy next to us they didn't serve PBR even though he had one in his hand. On top of that I was annoyed that people who weren't VIP kept lingering around the balcony and one couple even watched the whole concert standing right next to us and security never said anything. I also would not recommend second balcony if you have longer legs as the chairs/configuration is awkward and my husband was uncomfortable if not standing anyways. Venue was clean, check in was easy and most staff was polite, and they did do some neat things for NYE., Hi there, Thank you for providing this detailed review. We're sorry to hear about your experience but we would like to apologize and speak with you further about your visit.

Thank you- Team HOB , Written , January 2, 2020, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC., Traveled as a couple Food was delicious, I enjoyed the performance and the interaction with the crowd. The director of the choir is funny and very personable. I think the price was fair based on the entertainment and the food. The omelette and chicken/ waffles stations were my favorite. They need to work on the assortments for dessert because I really didn’t like the selection. I had a seat in the pit and felt crowded at times, I recommend sitting on the end or somewhere besides the pit. I also recommend that the choir come out earlier, I felt like it took them too long to get on the stage.

Chicago | Reviews: Exceptional car service, I use this car service for my daughter's prom. Les was exceptional from the start of the conversation to the end! Great customer service and informative details on how the service will work and pricing. Call a few days ahead of time to discuss payment and pick up/ drop off details. Les arrive before the schedule pick up time and was dress to impress in which I was happy about because he was looking great with the prom kids! Very friendly and blended right in with the family, taking pictures and making the kids feel special on their prom day! Will definitely use this service again in the future. Don't hesitate, book with them!, Traveled with family First class experience, door to door, Les provided a true first class experience while I was visiting Chicago with my two-year-old son. He communicated clearly, met us in the airport, and then carried our luggage to a very nicely maintained Mercedes S-class. Les was kind to my son, and we enjoyed good conversation as we navigated Chicago traffic. Unlike some black car services, Les shows up in the specific car model you order, and the equipment is very well maintained. Les clearly takes pride in his business, and I highly recommend him and Legendary Private Car if you are looking for a step up above ride sharing and taxi services. Excellent Service!, We have used this black car service 1st time and WOW! Requested S Class for airport drop off and pick up for our New Years vacation. New car, clean and full luxury you would expect from an S Class Mercedes combined with 1st class service. Leszek was very professional, confirmed booking day before, showed up before scheduled time and provided outstanding service both ways. Booking was very easy, pricing very competitive. While booking, I had a concern about the year of the car, as they are services out there charging "black car service" price but using old cars. Addressed my question in comments section when booking and received an answer with confirmation that they use 2018 or newer cars.
Outstanding!
Will use this service for all future travel arrangements and recommend to anyone looking for black car service.

Chicago | Reviews: Great historical place , The tavern/club has superb historic ambient and at that particular night band and music were amazing. I need to admit, that only after I visited the place I found out how actually popular it is and that it's oldest jazz club in the USA.
Only downside is that part of staff was pretty arrogant. , Traveled as a couple Historic bar that deserves a visit, I went to Green Mill a couple of times and the atmosphere is great. Good music and the location is authentic. It is a historic bar that deserves a visit. However, it is a small place so if you want a good spot to enjoy the music you must get there early. Cash only. Great energy, great fun!, Our trip to Chicago was twofold: 1) Kurt Elling was going to be performing here and 2) to see our two grandchildren, it was our grandsons 11th birthday. The Green Mill is a small intimate cocktail lounge, a lot of people and a lot of music. Its great and its old school swing. When we got there for Kurt Elling's show, we were fortunate to get the last seat at a small table, but would still be able to see the stage if we stood up. As it turned out, Kurt Elling had two seats in front of the stage and invited my husband and I to sit there with a few of his friends. Needless to say, we were beyond ecstatic! We have seen him several times before but this was by far the most special, wonderful time, it felt like a birthday present, He was so gracious, and just wanted us to have a good time. We'll stop by again when we visit our grandchildren, and hope Kurt Elling will be in town, performing. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d103242-Reviews-Green_Mill-Chicago_Illinois.html | 4 | Green Mill | categories: Jazz Bars | Description: Once a haunt of Al Capone's, this oldest jazz club in the U.S. opened in 1907, and retains the aura of the Prohibition-era speakeasies. | Green Mill ; categories: Jazz Bars ; Description: Once a haunt of Al Capone's, this oldest jazz club in the U.S. opened in 1907, and retains the aura of the Prohibition-era speakeasies. ; Reviews: Great historical place , The tavern/club has superb historic ambient and at that particular night band and music were amazing.

Chicago | Reviews: It was elementary, We chose the bunker which is an especially difficult task but our group managed to finish the task with about 2 minutes to spare. It was exciting and challenging and the host helped a lot with the 3 clues that we gained. A totally fun experience and we will be coming back to try another room., Congratulations to you and your team! The President's Bunker is one of my favorite rooms and I'm so glad you enjoyed its many challenges!
Very glad to hear that you will be joining us again for another adventure!
Cheers!

There were only 3 of us which we were a little worried about but we managed to save the world in time. Matt was a great "tour guide" friendly and helpful with our earned clues. It was our second escape room adventure with The Great Escape Room. Looking forward to doing another room soon., Thank you for your wonderful review Victoria. We are so glad you had such a good time and that Matt could make your experience so much more enjoyable.

Fun experience, We came in as a group and did 2 of the escape rooms - they were both great! We didn't break any records but we managed to escape both! Also appreciated that the lobby area has lots of mini-puzzles to get you in the right mindset. The staff is excellent. We appreciated that there were hints included as part of the experiences.

Chicago | Reviews: Fantastic, A small slight occurred at the beginning of our visit here but these people fell all over themselves to make up for it after we very politely complained.
It was truly surprising since we are ordinary people - not celebrities or restaurant critics lol.
After mentioning what happened to one of the staff, they immediately seated us, offered free wine and also gave us an additional dish and desserts gratis.
The food was exceptional. I can only say good things about this place., Traveled with family In a word - INCREDIBLE, This place is awesome. Even just a walk through visit is quite the experience. The food & wine options are incredible. Was amazed at the authenticity of the place in cheeses, meats and wines. You can dine here (we did not), but I wish to upon return. There's a Gelato Bar, that's excellent. The varieties of sauces, seasoning and meats is really incredible. Love of all things Italian , If you love Italian food, decor of anything to do would Italian or Mediterranean theme, this is the place.
This was a must stop for us whenever we came into town to visit my aunt. This was her Kroger’s or Jewel Osco on the weekly. She would drag me at first but then I went more willingly as I became college age and an adult.
In retrospect this store fundamentally and quintessentially represents my aunt. Her favorite foods were Italian, Greek and Mediterranean in general.
Sometimes we would come here for a bite, be it pasta, coffee, cannoli, tiramisu (she loved the stuff) or even a gelato. She of course wouldn’t make this visit without us having to buy and game home some pasta or prosciutto or an assortment of cheeses to cook with for a meal later. , Traveled with family | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d5962592-Reviews-Eataly-Chicago_Illinois.html | 4.5 | Eataly | categories: Cooking Classes | Description: Suggested duration | Eataly ; categories: Cooking Classes ; Description: Suggested duration ; Reviews: Fantastic, A small slight occurred at the beginning of our visit here but these people fell all over themselves to make up for it after we very politely complained.

Chicago | Reviews: A sensory delight and unique shopping experience, This store is like walking into a European apothecary and having all your senses delighted. The wide range of beautiful products is fun to explore. The quality of everything we bought was outstanding and even though we don’t live in Chicago, we now continue to order some of the products through their website smallflower.com because these are unique, hard to find products that i can’t find in California., Traveled with family Wonderful frangrances, I have been been shopping there for nearly 45 years since I was a child. Some items are a little pricey, but others are decently priced. I am fond of light, unique scents. One scent I am particularly fond of is a cola scented perfume. Who would have thought of scenting a fragrance after soda pop? Other attributes include a sweet, spicy scent. I highly recommend it. I also favor the essential clove oil for toothache pain. It works wonders! I purchased it a few years back for $6. The price might have slightly risen. Wonderful place, I live in Chicago and buy from the all the time. When the pandemic was at its worse, I bought online.
Their products are great, they are lovely folks and their stores smell fantastic. I used to frequent their store in downtown Chicago, which sadly closed during the pandemic.
But if you get a chance to go to the northside store, go. I've never been to that one, but I'm sure it's great like their other store.

Chicago | Reviews: Was hoping for more…, The admission fee of $10 per person over 12 is steep for what you get. I think it is free if you eat at the Haray Caray restaurant which kind of says something I think. It is hardly a museum but has a few interesting interactive things to do generally related to chicago sports. Its a good way to kill 30 min to an hr between some better activities. Has some good photo ops for the kids as well and some video game like virtual games. Save it for a rainy day on a chicago visit if kids are a little bored while mom shops., Traveled with family Interactive and Fun with Kids, I stopped in here with the kids during our recent visit. Its pretty easy to find - top floor of the Water Tower Mall. For myself and two kids, it was about $25. But if you eat at Harry Caray's next door, you get in free. I wish I knew that first - we paid for the museum THEN went to lunch. Oh well. Learn from my mistake!
Tickets are purchased at the restaurant hostess stand (should have been my first clue). The museum is pretty small. You can probably go through it in less than an hour. There are a few exhibits with old uniforms and other stuff from the Chicago sports teams. What my kids really loved were the VR games: they had them for hitting homers, shooting hoops, and throwing footballs. Definitely worth the visit if you are there and love sports. But if you are doing lunch anyway, go to Harry Caray's and save yourself some cash! Great interactive stop to entertain kids on Magnificent Mile, We enjoyed this even more than expected — a great way to entertain the kids for 30-plus minutes during a walk up and down the Magnificent Mile. There were a lot of interactive things they could do.

Chicago | Reviews: Great customer service, Since writing the below, I have changed my review from average to very good. That is because of the swift and thorough follow up I received from the manager at the facility, and the honesty and care with which she responded to my concerns. No business is going to be perfect 100% of the time, and mistakes happen. So it is all about how they address them. In this case, they were addressed with sincerity and thoroughness, as well as proof points of what they are putting in place to make sure this does not happen in future. I will certainly be returning!
I attended the Chicago location this morning, and upon re-reading the details of the experience I should have had, there are a few things that Aire really need to look at.
1) My first issue was the length of time I was allowed to use the facilities following my massage. It details that the 60 minute massage and baths experience is a 120 minute experience. So one would think that you would get a total of 60 mins to enjoy the general areas of the spa. I arrived promptly at 8am for my appointment. As soon as I was allowed through (which was at about 8.20) I changed quickly and headed downstairs. Within 5 minutes I was called for my massage. Once I got out of my massage, I was told I had 30 mins to experience the rest of the spa. 30 mins is half of the time I should have had, and given they charge a premium for the massage + 'the experience', 30 mins is not enough to really do anything at all.
2) the room my massage was in was freezing. I was freezing cold for the entire experience. I alerted my massueuse of this fact as soon as my massage started, but she said that all she could do was to cover me in an extra towel. I was so cold that I had to tuck my hands underneath me to get warm. Needless to say, even though the massage itself was great, the 'relaxation' experience as a whole was not, as I could not fully relax.
When I left, I relayed the above about my massage and how cold the room was to the front desk staff. Upon hearing this, my expectation was that they would offer some kind of compensation (%/$ off a future visit, or something like that) - but nothing was said. Just that they would fix it for future guests.
The rest of the staff and facilities were great, but unfortunately the above was a real let down, and I have to say would stop me from recommending anyone get services at the spa, as you will pay more for them, but won't really get more in terms of that full experience you are meant to have in what you would call the 'main' facility, which is the whole reason why you go there vs a traditional massage studio. Aire Ancient Baths in Chicago, Quite a unique experience and highly recommend! This is definitely an oasis where you can escape and disconnect from the outside world. Silence, dim lights and thousands of candles await you not to mention the temperature pools (warm, hot and cold), a flotarium (salt water pool), 2 steam rooms and an indoor/outdoor pool with waterfall. The Aire Essentials package allows you to enjoy all of this for 90 minutes. You can also enhance your stay with a 30,45 or 60 minute relaxing massage.
Lockers and dressing rooms are available as well as showers equipped with shampoo, bath gel and hairdryers as well as robes, towels and slippers. Booking in advance is strongly advised.
The only other place you can get this experience is in New York. All other loctions are over seas. Perfect, Wife was gifted a massage package, so she got another one for me and we had a lovely time. All the personnel we encountered were perfectly attentive without being overbearing. The environment and the baths/pools/steam rooms left nothing to be desired. Our 45 minute couples massage was very nice.
We visited on a weekday afternoon and it felt perfect in terms of how busy it was. Some other patrons around, but we never that we or others were in each other's way, in fact, we often had a pool to ourselves.
We had none of the negative experiences I read on this page.

Chicago | Reviews: Fans night out, We visited as my wife and I are fans of Chicago Fire and this was the original mollys bar.
We were made welcome as if a local. The barmaid on duty was helpful with all the knowledge on the programme and their use of the bar.
If you want just a drink a nice wide range of local, US and imported beer are available.
The food on offer was your basic American pub grub, and plenty of it.
You can even have you picture taken pulling pints like Chris Herrmann, Traveled as a couple Mollys Bar Chicago fire. Fantastic and well recommended, We attended with friends on 30/12/22 I am a massive Chicago fire fan and this is Mollys bar in the show.
It’s loud fun and very busy on Friday nights. The table service was regular and friendly. Lots of security staff were on duty to keep patrons safe.
Would recommend anyone attend if you are ever in the bucktown area., Traveled as a couple Chicago Fire fan happy!, Massive Chicago Fire fan from England, so on a week holiday here, this was a must.
Situated in a really pleasant part of the City, the bar is exactly like it is on the show.
It was early afternoon but still had a few people in.
We had lunch and we both agreed it was very nice. I had the chicken Tacos and while different to what I know as a Taco in England, they were very nice.

Chicago | Reviews: Wonderful, Consistent, Friendly Service Excellence!, EJ and his entire team are always dependable, on-time and professional. Most recently, they gathered our family from Terminal 5 at O'Hare - our driver was on site when our plane landed, in communication the entire time and we had no issues with securing our little guy in his booster in the way back of the Escalade. We've also used EJ's services to and from Guaranteed Rate Field and he's collected my parents on their arrivals. Whether you're a family traveling, a professional on business or a night on the town, we recommend EJ and his team highly - they excel in an excellent client experience!, Hi and Thank you for your awesome review!

Chicago | Reviews: Day at the Spare, Had Tammy for a classic pedicure. She did a great job making me feel welcome. She was professional but friendly. Did an awesome job taking care of my feet.

Chicago | Reviews: Great Chicago Independent Bookstore in Historic Neighborhood, This is an amazing independent Chicago bookstore in a historic neighborhood. They have a really nice selection of books and other items. I'm told the building dates back to the late 1800s, and you get a little bit of a feel that you are going back in time to the glory days of Chicago's printing industry when nearby Dearborn Station was such an active hub of activity for travelers and for industry. The staff is super friendly and makes good recommendations if you need help finding a book. Overall, the Printer's Row area is charming and this is clearly one of its main anchors for community. As bookstores go, this is definitely one of my favorites!, Traveled solo Cozy Bookstore in Printer’s Row, Love having this quaint bookstore in the neighborhood. They have a very nice selection of books and I can spend hours browsing in there. The location in an old brick building with squeaky floorboards really add to the experience. Five stars!, Traveled solo A favorite bookstore for almost 20 years, We love this bookstore! I've been coming here for almost twenty years! I lived in Printer's Row while in college and used to pop in and mostly browse and occasionally buy gifts or a little something for myself when I could afford it. Now we come in often for books for my son and always find such a great selection. It's one of those shopping experiences that's always guaranteed to be calming and remind you why you love bookstores. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g35805-d21224539-Reviews-Sandmeyer_s_Bookstore-Chicago_Illinois.html | 5 | Sandmeyer’s Bookstore | categories: Speciality & Gift Shops | Sandmeyer’s Bookstore ; categories: Speciality & Gift Shops ; ; Reviews: Great Chicago Independent Bookstore in Historic Neighborhood, This is an amazing independent Chicago bookstore in a historic neighborhood.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Very Nice, The fountains are always a good show. It costs nothing and the Bellagio does a good job updating the music the fountains dance along with. Depending on what time of day you catch the show the sidewalks can become very crowded and you may or may not get a great view of the fountains. The show happens all night long so you will have many chances to witness this free attraction. Over all I recommend the fountain show. Stopped for a quick minute and caught the show. , Every 15 minutes after 9pm I believe you will see the fountains play. I recommend staying for 20 minutes so you can hear two different songs.
It's usually some frank Sinatra or something like that, but the fountain is incredible., Traveled as a couple A Las Vegas Classic, There is a reason why with SO many other attractions to see (a giant volcano, the Eiffel Tower, Lion, Statue of Liberty, etc.) that people still gather at the Bellagio. It is because these simple, yet graceful fountains are still the best in town. After an amazing dinner, we squeezed in with everyone else along the wall to watch a few shows before heading back to our room. The show is fantastic during the day, but when the sun goes down and the lights go up, everything takes on an extra glow. You can almost imagine yourself being part of Ocean's 11. OK not really. Tip - I'm sure you already know, but try to go after 8pm since the fountains go off every 15 minutes as opposed to a half hour. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d127003-Reviews-Fountains_of_Bellagio-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4.5 | Fountains of Bellagio | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Fountains | Description: Every night, over 1,000 fountains sway and dance to music and lights on an artificial lake in front of the Bellagio Resort. | Fountains of Bellagio ; categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Fountains ; Description: Every night, over 1,000 fountains sway and dance to music and lights on an artificial lake in front of the Bellagio Resort. ; Reviews: Very Nice, The fountains are always a good show.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Beautiful Mountains, We visited Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area while staying in Las Vegas. We stayed in Summerlin so it was only about a 25 minute drive from our hotel.
The loop drive is spectacular and the scenery stunning. We also got a blue sky day which was great.
Things to know. Cost is $15 per vehicle. We have an annual US park pass (America the Beautiful) which allows access to all Federal parks and facilities. Red Rock is administered by the BLM. Our pass cost $80. We bought it the day before at another park and as I write this we would have had to pay $55 for the 3 parks we have visited. Great value if you're seeing multiple parks.
We drove the 13 mile scenic loop road. There was just about every other mode of transport on the road. You must make a reservation online for a certain access time. Access is regulated from October to May.
The first 3 parking areas provide really excellent opportunities for photos of the red rocks. If you want to access the second lot (Calico 2) I recommend going early because the lot is very small and hikers use it. There is no parking along the road.
You cannot do the loop twice. The road spits you back out onto Highway 159 and you're out of the park. So do the visitor center at the start of your tour.
This was a great scenic opportunity and lots of people were hiking, biking, jogging and taking guided tours. Amazing nature area close to Las Vegas , Spent half a day in this park in January when we wanted to get out of Vegas and do some hiking and exploring. The park fee for a vehicle day pass is $15 and well worth the time spent here. It was just over 60 degrees so plenty comfortable for us northerners and we wore shorts with a long sleeve top, had on sunscreen and carried water on our hikes. There is a 13 mile one way scenic loop which you can drive through and see plenty just stopping at the overlooks. There are also many hiking trails ranging from easy to moderate to difficult with a variety of elevation rises and lengths that you can choose from to see petroglyphs, hidden falls, scenic views and nature’s beauty more close up.
The guide which you can access online or pick up in paper form has a map and very good descriptions of all scenic views, overlooks and hiking trails. Be aware that if you plan to rely on your phone, service is not reliable throughout the park. I recommend arriving early to beat the crowds especially on weekends or when the weather is more inviting. There is a visitor and information building with bathrooms and some information on the park and animals and land but stop on your way in because with a one-way route you won’t have another opportunity.
We spent about 4 hours in the park and hit a few of the highlights, stopped at the scenic overlooks and hiked 4 different trails. Check park hours as well because they vary with the seasons. We will be back to explore the area more but the time we spent gave us time to explore the park and hit the highlights. , Traveled as a couple Great location near to the city..., Well worth the drive out west, and the $15 entrance fee for vehicles, $10 for m/cycles and $5 for pushbikes (steep ride p in places), this is a one-way loop to see the canyon with lots of lookout points and wide road with perfect surface. Tours also available I believe.
There are also several toilet blocks (big hole in ground variety with a raised seat so pungent in the summer no doubt, no running water but hand sanitiser provided).
We didn't stop at Visitor Center [sic] but it looked impressive and I believe the entry fee to the Conservation Area included entrance to the Center.
Take a camera and go around sunset/sunrise for best lighting and some great panoramic scenes and views of the city from afar...
Be prepared for lengthy queues to get in though, even at end of January we queued for 20mins or so mid-morning. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d103329-Reviews-Red_Rock_Canyon_National_Conservation_Area-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4.5 | Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area | categories: State Parks National Parks Nature & Wildlife Areas Canyons Geologic Formations | Description: Visitors can admire colorful rock formations on several hiking trails or on a 13-mile scenic drive. | Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area ; categories: State Parks National Parks Nature & Wildlife Areas Canyons Geologic Formations ; Description: Visitors can admire colorful rock formations on several hiking trails or on a 13-mile scenic drive. ; Reviews: Beautiful Mountains, We visited Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area while staying in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Gorgeous Floral Display--and it's free!, This is an amazing use and display of flowers and some other artwork that is a feast for the eyes (and nose). It's a relatively small area so can be seen in just a few minutes or you can take quite a while to examine everything in the conservatory. The quality is on a level that usually requires an entrance fee but the Bellagio conservatory is free and well worth a side trip to see it., Traveled as a couple Beautiful attraction, The presentation was stunning. The variously arrangements eye catching with a variety of exhibits and displays. As mentioned it is free and worth your time especially if you enjoy botanical presentations.
Be aware it is crowded and it you want that special selfie of you and your special someone come early, real early. It is open 24 hours a day, but crowds pick-up throughout the day.
The crowds is the reason I did not give it a five. Gorgeous Holiday Display!, This is my favorite destination on the strip. We always stop in to see the display since it changes every season. The holiday decorations are fantastic!
Big crowds around the holidays, the best time to visit is in the morning to try and avoid the crowds.
Parking here is free for the first hour and the parking garage enters the hotel right next to the Conservatory so it is easy to drive here and visit and leave without having to pay a dime!
I highly recommend!

Las Vegas | Reviews: Take advantage of the Monorail to save steps., There is everything to see along the strip. The hotels and Casinos are amazing. You need more than a day to see it all especially if you are going inside the hotels to experience their particular theme. Be sure to choose a restaurant inside any of the hotels for lunch or dinner. So many choices! We utilized the monorail to get from one area to the next. (Much less expensive than the hop on/hop off bus) and you can get a full day pass to ride all day from one end of the strip to the other. However, we did have to take a cab from the Monorail to Fremont Street. I highly recommend the Shark experience at Mandalay Bay, if you're into the Aquarium scene. It is a full on Aquarium Exhibit, in hind site however, I would have skipped the virtual portion offered seperately at the end. Wow like they say what happens here stays here, Never saw any problems and we did walk a lot had to stop and rest many times because a medical condition I have tucked into a casino sat at a slot machine until I caught my energy back. Lots of liquor being consommé. Lots of people dressed up. Only problem I saw was the strip is no place for children and I saw a lot of them as there were plenty of women with just pasties on and short shorts. Women with whips all performers trying to make a $$$ Las Vegas is like Disney world you can do it on a budget or go crazy and spend tons of money. Saw a drink selling for $56 and a bottle of coke was 4.59 but people didn’t care Fat Tuesday had a line from the minute they open until probably closing time. Thursday was more crowded then rest of week as people from LA made long weekend. Knowing this I’d go to Fremont street on Thursday next time I’m sure more street performers , Traveled as a couple Bring a good pair of shoes for the walking!, Don't be shy to dip into your pocket and get the 3 day bus pass. Takes you to the outlet stores at both ends of the bus route. Also Freemont Street, Pawn Stars, many other tours and get off at all of the Casio's along the strip. There are two bus transfer hubs (one at either end) which gives you access to side routes as well.) Go online and print out a map in advance then plan your routes accordingly. Since COVID, there is no longer an express bus from the strip to Freemont Street therefore you're on the DUCES and it's many stops but the route isn't that bad. Chat with the many other tourists on the buses as well as the local residents about places to visit and or eat. $8.00 for a 24 hour period but the 3 day pass eliminates the need for getting a daily pass. Ticket machines accept cash & cards. IF you have problems with the machines or need directions, staff were very courteous and helpful with information however they cannot help much with ticketing issues. There is a 702 # to call if you have problems.

Small groups share a pod. the experience takes about half I recommend using the tick sales kiosk on the side of the building if the line to the ticket counter seems long any time tickets are good for up to one visit over any 3 day period. Wow what a view!, Go near sunset! The view with the pinks and orange sunset in the distance and then darkness falling and all the lights of the strip coming alive was awe inspiring. The cars are so large and the ride so slow and smooth it's not scary at all. A different view on the East part of the Strip, Since it is place on the East side of the Strip, and behind Linq and Flamingo buildings, the view on the Strip is only partial, and you'll miss som of the Bellagio Fountain, or the Caesar Palace and beyond.
BUT just this high view-point is also spectacular, even if I'm afraid of height, I felt completely confortable on thoe big bubbles (you can fit more than 15 people inside, but we were lucky to be just 6 onboard).
You can see the Wynn Golf, Top golf, Paris building, Bellagio's Building, the Linq Promenade and Zipline.... great view that is (to me) just a little too expensive fo the 30min of the whole ride. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d6509306-Reviews-High_Roller-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4.5 | High Roller | categories: Observation Decks & Towers | Description: Currently the second largest in the world, the 550-foot tall ferris wheel located at the LINQ lets you soar above Las Vegas for panoramic views of the city. Each revolution takes about 30 minutes and each cabin holds up to 40 people.

Day tickets are cheaper if you are looking to save, and tickets are also included in several Las Vegas City Passes.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Loud parties on the cheap!!!, Downtown Vegas... some of the original Casino haunts that legends are made of... one can walk down Fremont street and recognize some infamous casinos that line this strip. The city has managed to preserve this street by placing a ceiling over the entire mini strip that lights up in animation videos! Under the canopy, you can find nightly concerts in the center of the strip that brings the folks out of the casinos to listen to the jams and booze away on the street.
This strip is lined with lower limit tables, perfect for coming out here to learn your table game, some of which start at $5 and even a few that start at $1!!!
There are a lot of street performers out here trying to scrape up a buck. Some of these street "performers" are vagabonds that pull their trash together to make an outfit or a show out of for your entertainment. Its worth a gander to check out the street freaks pull an act together! Just make sure you check your judgement at the door because it could get pretty raunchy ;), Traveled with friends Affordable to see in Vegas., It is quite indeed an experience. Be aware of the noise and visual stimulation. If you don't have problem with that, then you are set for the several bars and casinos open pretty much 24/7 in the area.
They have stages in every corner and there are several free shows lined up for the month. It is a cheap thing to do in Vegas as entertainment if free, you gamble only if you want, and beers are about $5 or $7 each or you can buy your own beer for $4 at the convenience store, all good too! One of the best "free" activities, So much fun! I recommend practicing saying "No thank you!" before interacting with some of the buskers. Bring a few dollar bills so you can take a photo with some of the models and tip some of the performers. But this can be a free activity. So fun to just experience everything you see. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d102514-Reviews-Fremont_Street_Experience-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4 | Fremont Street Experience | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Historic Walking Areas | Description: Located in downtown Las Vegas, this pedestrian mall spreads over five blocks along Fremont Street.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Miracle of engineering, Breathtaking views of the dam. Interesting tour of the inner workings (it pays to take the full hour tour). They were doing construction and parking was chaotic and far away, with no room to drop off even a handicapped person. Entry to the tour at the visitor center through security was difficult and staff was rude. Reservations have to be done on site at time of entry. Must see!!, Booked "Get Your Guide" 4-hr tour of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead (highlights tour) - so worth it!! This could easily be a full-day excursion. Our tour included stops to cross the bridge/bypass, the Lake Mead overlook, the National Park station/overlook at Lake Mead, and Boulder City (Dam Museum). The stop at the bridge/bypass was a little too quick (only 20 minutes), but still worth it! Definitely worth a visit if you haven't gone before, Very cool history and world landmark with so many lingering benefits for the Western USA still to this day. Very educational, beautiful "great gatsby" style 1930s architecture & decor. I recommend stopping in Boulder City on your way, and view the free museum inside the main hotel to get the history before going to view the actual dam and bridge.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Tons of Information, Four of us strolled through the Mob Museum early on a Saturday morning (on line ticket discount for before 11 AM) and thoroughly enjoyed it. They had short interesting movies, some artifacts and a lot of information to read. The photos were interesting as was the entire timeline they laid out from the rise of Vegas to today's current criminals and cartels. They even had a display about movies and television series related to the mob and cartels with information about what was real and what was fiction. A fun way to spend a few hours, It is best to go early as the museum can get crowded in the afternoon. The distillery tour and tasting was interesting - worth the time and additional cost. The museum also contains information on the early Las Vegas settlements. I don’t find the headset rental necessary., Traveled with family Amazing, This museum is well worth your time. We went at 9 am on a Saturday and we’re the only ones in the museum for quite a while. They have a small parking lot that costs $8.00. They have a lot of cool artifacts. I would pay the extra $8.00 for the headsets.

Las Vegas | Reviews: They have a great Happy hour!!, My son and I went here after we used our Go City pass to access the sky pod. I think the lounge is on 107 but the cups say 108 either way it’s high up there and great views of the city and strip.
They do have security and check your bags. If you have a go city pass they have to turn it into a ticket that allows 24hrs in and out access. You also don’t have to pay more if you come back during the night.
We arrived around 4pm because we were told by a tour guide that they offer 20% the rides between 3p-5p during the week for the rides and sky jump. It was too windy so most the rides were closed but the bar was open for happy hour 2 for 1 from 3p-7p. Weather and wind will effect the rides opening or closing so call ahead or check online.
We enjoyed drinks with views of the city and strip for sunset and night. Comfortable couches and chairs face the views with a chill atmosphere with light music.
Reasonable snack bar with sandwiches on the same level along with the restrooms. Very clean. Excellent bar service. I would definitely make this a stop during happy hour if you already have a ticket to the sky pod., Traveled with family Don't Skip this View, After seeing the stratosphere in so many documentaries and movies we had to finally visit The Strat. I am so glad I booked it for my husband and I to go to the top for a beautiful sunset. It was so worth the $20 tickets each to ride to the top and watch the sun go down and the lights of the Vegas strip to come alive. The elevator had an operator that gave some facts: we were traveling at 21mph, we covered 3 stories every 1 second, and it took us 20 seconds to reach our destination. When the doors opened it was a "wow" moment. The views are absolutely stunning. There are comfortable seats around the glassed viewing area and bars for a nice drink as you take in the views of Vegas. It was an amazing experience to watch the sunset from the Strat. We could also watch some of the brave souls bungee jump off the edge of building. We saw many, many helicopters taking tourists down the strip. As many times as I have been to Vegas I had never visited the Stratosphere...now I believe it is a must for all tourist!, Traveled as a couple Sunset at The Strat!, Seeing sunrise a the top of The Stratosphere was fabulous. My teenagers loved it too and we stayed up there for quite a while and had drinks at 108 bar which had comfy seats all around with floor to ceiling windows for a spectacular view. You get close to seeing all the people do the crazy rides too which is fun if your not quite brave enough to go on them! It was a reasonable cost to go up the tower and defintely worth it. The tower including the main entrance, restrooms and bars etc were all lovely and clean. We were pleasantly surprised at how much we all enjoyed visiting The Strat and would highliy recommend it to anyone wondering if its worth the visit, it most certainly is. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d104050-Reviews-Stratosphere_Tower-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4.5 | Stratosphere Tower | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Observation Decks & Towers | Description: The Tower is a unique, iconic fixture in the Vegas skyline with a magnificent 360 degree view of the shimmering Las Vegas Strip and Valley. | Stratosphere Tower ; categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Observation Decks & Towers ; Description: The Tower is a unique, iconic fixture in the Vegas skyline with a magnificent 360 degree view of the shimmering Las Vegas Strip and Valley. ; Reviews: They have a great Happy hour!!, My son and I went here after we used our Go City pass to access the sky pod.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Excellent guide and fascinating history of a fascinating city, The Neon Museum is great... I went at dusk/sunset, as this was recommended by several people. Definitely a good decision as you get to appreciate the lights in different... lights. Ha.
First up, the guide (whose name I don't know, but a woman with a shaved head) was amazing. She knows how to tell a story, how to add jokes, how to keep the crowd engaged with the history she's telling. Few times have I seen a group so engaged with the guide and actively listening. She's great.
The mix of working and non-working lights is beautiful if you know how to appreciate it. To me it seems like 50% or more were working, so I wouldn't listen to some of the reviews complaining about that. Even when they're not working, you can still appreciate the art of them, in my opinion. The working lights are beautiful.
Some people have complained about the cost, and I have some trouble understanding that. The Neon Museum is a non-profit and uses the funds to restore these lights and these pieces of history. To me, the $30 is more than going to good use, especially when you see the size of these signs and the sheer antiquity of the design... it's like people think the restoration is as simple as sticking some light bulbs in them. To me the cost is totally worth contributing to restoring such wonderful remnants of past times and the beginnings of such a curious and unique place. The stories around these lights and the ability to hopefully some day see some of the older signs lit up is more than worth it.
I fully recommend the visit if you enjoy being taken back in time and marveling at how fun and creative we humans can be., Hi Rochelle! Wow, thank you so much for the kind words and wonderful review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and we are delighted to hear you had a great time at the museum. Our staff take pride in telling the story of the museum and we are happy to hear you enjoyed the guided tour. We are proud to collect, preserve, study and exhibit the iconic Las Vegas signs with our community and the world. Thank you for visiting us and we hope to welcome you back again soon!, Written , January 29, 2022, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Great Piece of Vegas History, I've been wanting to go here for a couple years but it just never worked out until this trip. Make sure you purchase tickets ahead of time for a guided tour and make sure you go at night--no use seeing neon signs in the daytime! The tour takes about an hour and the guides are very knowledgeable. The signs are incredible pieces of art but the story behind some of them is even more fascinating. Definitely worth the price of admission and the money goes to restoring more signs! Can't wait to see what they will add next., Wow, thank you so much for the kind review! We appreciate you taking the time to provide your detailed experience. We are thrilled to read you had a great time visiting and learning more about the history behind the signs. We are proud to collect, preserve, study and exhibit the iconic Las Vegas signs with our community and the world. Thanks again for visiting us and we hope to welcome you back again soon!, Written , April 12, 2023, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC., Traveled with friends Vegas History - Beautiful Neon Light Signs, Nothing says Vegas more than neon signs! If you want a taste of old Vegas then this is a must stop for you. Since the last time we were there they added a new tour called the "Brilliant Experience" and we really enjoyed it. I would recommend taking the "Guided Tour" that last about 45 minutes first and then check out the "Brilliant" tour afterwards that last about 30 minutes. You can buy a combo ticket that cost $45 per person. I would recommend purchasing your tickets early as possible because I think they only allow 20 people per tour and they do sellout many of their tours.
We took the tour around sunset so you could see the signs as the sun was setting and they turn some of them on. The "Stardust" sign is toward the end and it's so neat to see along with the old Hard Rock Cafe guitar sign. They have a neat one of a baby duck that is pretty when it lights up There are a lot of signs that you might not even heard of but they all have a story to tell and if you get a good tour guide they will tell those stories. Our tour guide was good but I can't remember her name but she wears a neat lanyard that has some Disney & Vegas sign pins on it. If you get her as your tour guide you will enjoy the tour.
For the "Brilliant" tour/show it really doesn't require a guide because it's a show and it's unbelievable how real they make it appear that the actual lights are lightening up on the signs versus being a 360 virtual show light show that shines on the lights. They play some great music from Elvis, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to name a few. Some of the songs you will recognize and some you won't but the songs help bring alive the signs. If you do both tours I would estimate that you will be there about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
The gift store they offer is bigger than we expected and the prices were moderate. I would recommend checking it out if you are interested in souvenirs.
They don't allow any cameras but you can take your cell phone and take pictures with it. I even tried to take a small digital sure shot camera that doesn't have a detachable lens but they wouldn't allow me to take it inside the museum. You will have to go through a metal detector and you have to wear a mask due to the current virus situation even outside when taking the tours.
The Neon Museum is located near downtown right off the actual Vegas Strip. (The actual address is 770 Las Vegas Blvd North.) I would recommend visiting the downtown area to experience the "Fremont Street Experience" and they have some old neon light signs that have been refurbished that will have more meaning to you after visiting the Neon Museum. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d110193-Reviews-The_Neon_Museum-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4.5 | The Neon Museum | categories: Speciality Museums | Description: Displaying over 200 retired signs of casinos and businesses from all over town, the Neon Museum offers a peek into old Vegas.

– Tripadvisor ; Reviews: Excellent guide and fascinating history of a fascinating city, The Neon Museum is great... I went at dusk/sunset, as this was recommended by several people. Definitely a good decision as you get to appreciate the lights in different... lights. Ha.
First up, the guide (whose name I don't know, but a woman with a shaved head) was amazing. She knows how to tell a story, how to add jokes, how to keep the crowd engaged with the history she's telling. Few times have I seen a group so engaged with the guide and actively listening. She's great.
The mix of working and non-working lights is beautiful if you know how to appreciate it. To me it seems like 50% or more were working, so I wouldn't listen to some of the reviews complaining about that. Even when they're not working, you can still appreciate the art of them, in my opinion. The working lights are beautiful.
Some people have complained about the cost, and I have some trouble understanding that. The Neon Museum is a non-profit and uses the funds to restore these lights and these pieces of history. To me, the $30 is more than going to good use, especially when you see the size of these signs and the sheer antiquity of the design... it's like people think the restoration is as simple as sticking some light bulbs in them. To me the cost is totally worth contributing to restoring such wonderful remnants of past times and the beginnings of such a curious and unique place. The stories around these lights and the ability to hopefully some day see some of the older signs lit up is more than worth it.
I fully recommend the visit if you enjoy being taken back in time and marveling at how fun and creative we humans can be., Hi Rochelle! Wow, thank you so much for the kind words and wonderful review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and we are delighted to hear you had a great time at the museum.

We are proud to collect, preserve, study and exhibit the iconic Las Vegas signs with our community and the world. Thank you for visiting us and we hope to welcome you back again soon!, Written , January 29, 2022, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Great Piece of Vegas History, I've been wanting to go here for a couple years but it just never worked out until this trip. Make sure you purchase tickets ahead of time for a guided tour and make sure you go at night--no use seeing neon signs in the daytime! The tour takes about an hour and the guides are very knowledgeable. The signs are incredible pieces of art but the story behind some of them is even more fascinating. Definitely worth the price of admission and the money goes to restoring more signs! Can't wait to see what they will add next., Wow, thank you so much for the kind review! We appreciate you taking the time to provide your detailed experience. We are thrilled to read you had a great time visiting and learning more about the history behind the signs. We are proud to collect, preserve, study and exhibit the iconic Las Vegas signs with our community and the world. Thanks again for visiting us and we hope to welcome you back again soon!, Written , April 12, 2023, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC., Traveled with friends Vegas History - Beautiful Neon Light Signs, Nothing says Vegas more than neon signs! If you want a taste of old Vegas then this is a must stop for you. Since the last time we were there they added a new tour called the "Brilliant Experience" and we really enjoyed it. I would recommend taking the "Guided Tour" that last about 45 minutes first and then check out the "Brilliant" tour afterwards that last about 30 minutes. You can buy a combo ticket that cost $45 per person. I would recommend purchasing your tickets early as possible because I think they only allow 20 people per tour and they do sellout many of their tours.
We took the tour around sunset so you could see the signs as the sun was setting and they turn some of them on. The "Stardust" sign is toward the end and it's so neat to see along with the old Hard Rock Cafe guitar sign. They have a neat one of a baby duck that is pretty when it lights up There are a lot of signs that you might not even heard of but they all have a story to tell and if you get a good tour guide they will tell those stories. Our tour guide was good but I can't remember her name but she wears a neat lanyard that has some Disney & Vegas sign pins on it. If you get her as your tour guide you will enjoy the tour.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Beautiful resort - best rooms in Las Vegas, Being from California, I have stayed in Las Vegas for over 40 years. There are lots of great resorts and rooms available, however my room at the Wynn wasr second to none. Classy and spacious, modern touches, great room service menu and quiet at night.
The Casino is for VIP high rollers and not a lot of people gambling. Table limits on a weekday afternoon averaged $50 to $100 per hand or roll of the dice. Occasionally there might be a $25 table early in the morning. Although I did not have time to lounge by the pool or swim, the pools areas were very nice.
Being alone on business, I ate at the sports bar alone and prices were very reasonable and the food was excellent. A great experience overall. I would recommend the Wynn resort and casino. Our go-to casino in Vegas, This casino is beautiful inside - but what we really love is that it is never really that busy. It's located at the north end of the strip, and most tourists do not make it out this far. The drink service while playing is great, and the drinks are strong also. Loud Pool Music Until 4AM, If you plan on sleeping before 4AM you should never get a room on the pool side of the hotel.. The music is EXTREMELY loud, the bass permeates the rooms and it doesn't stop until 4AM. So if you gamble until 2AM plan on staying awake and getting a headache until the music stops at 4AM. Demand a room on the other side of the hotel. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d1156204-Reviews-Wynn_Las_Vegas_Casino-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4.5 | Wynn Las Vegas Casino | categories: Casinos | Description: Located in one of the world's largest hotels, this casino along the Strip offers new and upcoming games, poolside gaming, and its signature poker room. | Wynn Las Vegas Casino ; categories: Casinos ; Description: Located in one of the world's largest hotels, this casino along the Strip offers new and upcoming games, poolside gaming, and its signature poker room. ; Reviews: Beautiful resort - best rooms in Las Vegas, Being from California, I have stayed in Las Vegas for over 40 years.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Nice Exhibit but Could Be Better, The Titanic Exhibit is fairly well done. I was expecting, from the advertisements, that it would give a better idea of what the ship was like. The construction phase was just briefly addressed in the first room, but it could have been covered more thoroughly. Wall placards were interesting and gave an idea of who stayed in each of the 3 travel levels and what it would cost in today's amount. An amazing amount of items have been recovered from the ocean - traveler items, ship parts and inventory. Some appear new, some were damaged but collectively it is very interesting.
The centerpiece of this exhibit is the large piece of ship hull that was recovered and is on display. A very touching display is at the end where it gives the name of each passenger and crewmember on the ship, and whether or not they survived. At the beginning of the tour, you get a ticket with a person's name and identity on it. At the end, you scan the ticket and learn if your person survived or not.
I enjoyed my tour but it only took slightly over an hour (not the 2-3 suggested). I was hoping for more displays of the ship interior. Overall I am glad I went to this exhibit. Interesting artifacts, I have seen the visiting Titanic exhibit at the local science museum in past and this seems to have many of these artifacts. It is well done but a iittle cramped and if the people in front of you are moving slow you worry about social distancing. The piece of the hull is impressive and the way they make it colder as the night evolves was neat. They, of course, charge for photos at the grand staircase (Vegas style) Some question as to why these pieces are not in museum and the ethics. Worth the $39.
To get to the entrance go to 2nd floor--there are not signs to advise you and Luxor is crowded. Within entertainment district, you can gain some historical knowledge as well, Inside Lexor hotel, they have two exhibitions, one of them is Titanic. I bought GO city card that allowed me to go to this exhibition as well. Or else i think the ticket for this activity was 20$. You need one hour to go through this exhibition. However if you are a keen knowledge seeker of the Titanic accident, you may take 90 minutes.
I recommend all tourist of the strip to visit this exhibition. You will experience a lot of things that you see in movies, documentaries etc.
One thing i found out, third class passenger was paying 40$ while first class passenger was paying 2500$. The gap was large i.e. social differences were wider in early 20th century than today.Perhaps we are more civilized today then earlier. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d1501219-Reviews-Titanic_The_Artifact_Exhibition-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4.5 | Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition | categories: History Museums | Description: 350 recovered relics and full-scale recreations of the ill-fated Titanic luxury liner can be seen at this exhibition at the Luxor Hotel. | Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition ; categories: History Museums ; Description: 350 recovered relics and full-scale recreations of the ill-fated Titanic luxury liner can be seen at this exhibition at the Luxor Hotel. ; Reviews: Nice Exhibit but Could Be Better, The Titanic Exhibit is fairly well done.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Fantastic Show-Jaw Dropping Stunts and Set, This cirque du Soleil was the 3rd we saw on a recent trip to Las Vegas and it was jaw dropping. The stage could have a show of its own it was so AMAZING. The set and the cast was simply flawless. The show is a must see.

It was an immersive type experience with the performers coming into the audience and speakers in every seat. It is only getting 4 stars and not 5 because there were parts that were a little slow.

They are speaking in made up tribal languages and you are supposed to interpret through the performers. Lots of martial arts so my son loves it Overall it was a good show., Traveled with family Go and see it, you won’t regret it!, We decided to see this last minute and paid approx 70 dollars to sit at the very back.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Beautiful Venezia Like Setting with Attractive Shops and Restaurants, During our stay at Venetian Resort, we really enjoyed strolling around the Grand Canal Shoppes area which was on the 2nd floor level of the Venetian Resort. The huge Grand Canal Shoppes area extended from the Venetian Tower to the Palazzo Tower of the resort. Blue artificial sky over the shops area and beautiful canals with gondolas created post card perfect scenes. The lighting of the entire area changed from daytime lighting to evening time lighting, generating appropriate moods to the changing time. The shops lining along the canals looked so pretty. There were many eateries ranging from upscale restaurants/bars to small snack shops & food court. I would highly recommend visiting the Grand Canal Shoppes at Venetian Resorts. My uploaded photos can show the beauties of the area far better than my written description can. Beautiful recreation of Venice, This area of The Venetian is so beautiful.

The huge Grand Canal Shoppes area extended from the Venetian Tower to the Palazzo Tower of the resort. Blue artificial sky over the shops area and beautiful canals with gondolas created post card perfect scenes. The lighting of the entire area changed from daytime lighting to evening time lighting, generating appropriate moods to the changing time. The shops lining along the canals looked so pretty. There were many eateries ranging from upscale restaurants/bars to small snack shops & food court. I would highly recommend visiting the Grand Canal Shoppes at Venetian Resorts. My uploaded photos can show the beauties of the area far better than my written description can. Beautiful recreation of Venice, This area of The Venetian is so beautiful.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Bring your coins & leave the kids at home, Went here today, 8/3/2022 for the first time at their Strip location. Back when I was in college I went to their old location as part of an assignment for a class.
This location is way brighter and cooler thanks to high ceilings and huge fans.
Rules:
When you walk in there are safety rules posted because:
1. this place is not a playground. Don't bring little kids here, this is a place for people who are able to behave safely and play pinball.
2. Most of the games are antiques and it's pinball - every game has sharp corners. Horsing around could injure you or the antique game.
3. The floors are polished concrete. If your kid (or you) can't help but horse around, you could slip and again, hit your head on all the sharp corners of the pinball games.
Staff:
Staff was super helpful as my penny got stuck in the squished penny machine. Immediately the staff was helping me and I ended up getting 2 of the 3 designs available.
Notices:
As someone with Celiac disease, I appreciated that games that had powder (skeeball) had an allergy warning for nuts. Although I'm not allergic to nuts, I appreciated that the staff considered an allergy warning in a place most people wouldn't assume an allergen would be lurking.
I also liked the fact that right when you walk in there is a giant orange sign with the rules posted of this place. As a childfree adult, I love when businesses preemptively consider the fact that entitled parents are going to make everyone's visit miserable by not wrangling their children. Having the rules posted front and center makes me feel like the place means business about safety so that I can enjoy my visit without having to listen to kids roughhouse in public.
Games:
There are a TON of pinball games to play, many of them antiques. Yes, there are a noticable amount of games that aren't functional, but then again they're antiques. I expect them to be more for looks only, like an exhibit. My husband ended up playing the Family Guy pinball and had a lot of fun.
Merch:
They sell rings and bracelets made out of wire coils from the machine which is really unique! This could be a cool souvenir from Vegas.
They also have general merch like shirts, but they also have a squished penny machine for 50¢ and the penny itself is provided!
Overall:
Pinball Hall of Fame is a unique spot to visit in Vegas with great staff, fair policies and a ton of games. All of the money from the pinball games is donated to charity, which is awesome. Keep the little kids at home and enjoy a visit to the Pinball Hall of Fame!, Traveled as a couple Playable Pinball Nostalgia, The new location is on the Strip, across from the famous 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign and the Mandalay Bay hotel. Admission is free.
More than 200 games fill the warehouse, most of while are functioning and playable. A few games cost ten cents per play, most cost 25¢, and the newest pinball games cost $1. The Pinball Hall of Fame also houses classic video arcade games and two Disney Mold-A-Rama machines.
As another reviewer noted, this is not an arcade; it is a museum where you can play with the exhibits. Employees are available and willing to help in cases where a machine eats a quarter without providing a game credit. Good place to fill some time in Vegas. Fun, cheap, unique. Definitely worth a visit!, This is a unique place for some simple cheap fun. It’s a giant room filled with pinball machines, arcade games, claw machines, etc. We visited with our 16 month old son who liked to look at the machines and pretend to play the car games. We spent about an hour here and for $10 we played several games, did a photo booth, won a piece of candy playing skee ball and won 3 stuffed animals from a claw machine., Traveled with family | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d620854-Reviews-Pinball_Hall_of_Fame-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4.5 | Pinball Hall of Fame | categories: Speciality Museums | Pinball Hall of Fame ; categories: Speciality Museums ; ; Reviews: Bring your coins & leave the kids at home, Went here today, 8/3/2022 for the first time at their Strip location.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Great oasis of greenery and cooler weather less than an hour from the Las Vegas strip!, My friend who lives locally in Las Vegas recommended this as a closer and cooler alternative to the Grand Canyon, since it was so dang hot when I went out. My friend goes out here and hikes at least once a month and I can totally see why. It's less than an hour drive northwest from the Las Vegas Strip. If you need a cool green getaway from the heat and crowds of the strip this is a must-see. I was surprised how in the short drive (you also change elevation by 2,000 feet or so coming out of the Las Vegas valley) the temperature dropped at least 20 degrees. You will want to wear good sturdy hiking shoes or sandals and still bring plenty of water and snacks. Even though it's nowhere as hot as Las Vegas, you can still become dehydrated at higher elevations. It reminded me a lot of Colorado or the Black Hills of South Dakota. There are plenty of nice shaded picnic areas as you enter the recreation area and there is a small campground with cabins available in the actual Mount Charleston village. There are several different hiking trails; my friend and I did the Cathedral Rock Trail. You will gradually climb a rocky trail and change elevation of about 1,000 feet as you make your way to the top of Cathedral Rock. There are several spots along the way to stop and take a quick break. The views are breathtaking from the top and you will want to take a break at the summit to take it all in. Great photo opportunities too. But more than anything it's just amazing to think less than an hour from the noise, lights and bustle of the strip such a beautiful and serene place exists. Depending on the time of year you go, there will actually be snow so pack a jacket and warm pants as well. Allow yourself plenty of time and plan on at least 2 hours to climb up then down with time to enjoy the top of the mountain. We got back down to the parking area just as nightfall came, so the drive back to Vegas was cool too. Coming from dark desert wilderness back into the valley and seeing the Strip all lit up was pretty cool too. Definitely take half a day from your time in Vegas to come out and enjoy this oasis of greenery! Nice drive through beautiful scenery, We stopped at the Spring Mountain Visitors Gateway Center to get information about what we should see while we were in the area for a couple of hours. The very helpful staff gave us some recommendations. We drove up to the Desert View Overlook. It was stunning. We continued the drive to the Lee Meadows area where we hoped to see some wild horses, but none were there. We also drove to the Cathedral Rock area where we tried to find the trailhead for a short hike, but it was simply too hot for our group to hike. Overall, it was a very enjoyable drive. It was a wonderful alternative to the Las Vegas Strip. When the strip gets too hot , this is the place to go !, What can I say , but if you love the outdoors and want t to get away from the strip in Las Vegas this is for you ! There are quaint little cabins to stay at , a nice restaurant to eat in and about 20 degrees cooler then the desert floor and the strip. There are nice trails hike from beginners to the experienced . You would need to rent a car to get there from the strip, if you are just visiting for the casinos , but a nice break from the crowded Vegas strip if you are looking for a nice place to hike on your travel throng Nevada this may be for you. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d135565-Reviews-Mount_Charleston-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4.5 | Mount Charleston | categories: Mountains | Description: Experience the great outdoors at Mount Charleston, a quiet mountain retreat surrounded by tranquil, verdant landscapes just 30 minutes from Las Vegas.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Another Great View, This was our second time in the Eiffel Tower, first was night and second (this one) daytime. Night is nice to view the lights and Belagio fountains. Day you really get to see the beauty of the surrounding area. The view is a bit blocked by protective fencing. They used to provide information on the ascent ride, but our guide was more of a comedian. Grating, This experience was a bit of a let down. After waiting for several minutes with nobody at the rope to explain why, we eventually headed up. It was a fast ride as it isn’t the same size as the real one but was built using the same plans. The view is amazing save the obstruction of the grating. There are tiny blocks free of grating. I know that it is there to stop people from getting hurt or throwing things off but it really ruins the experience. , Traveled solo Fun fun fun, This was spectacular.....even if we had to return when high winds cancelled our previous reservation. We found all of the employees to be friendly and helpful. We chose to go up just prior to sunset and stayed until after dark to get the complete experience . I like that there is no time limit once you're on the viewing deck.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Worth a visit if you like Shelby's work, The basic museum is free. Being a little limited on time, we chose to do that and the merchandise store. Beautiful cars. One can see them all in about 30 minutes, or if you are lucky and a tour is starting you can tag along and listen on. The merchandise store had lots of neat stuff at not too outrageous prices. Buying stuff at a Ferrari or Mercedes or BMW dealer will cost you a lot more. Get To Know The "Man", You can experience Shelby American for free and walk through the medium sized display of various cars Shelby made famous. Or you can pay for a guided tour of these same cars but with personal anecdotes of the man himself added in. Very interesting! You also go beyond the glass into the "factory" area and learn bits/pieces of the manufacturing aspect. If you enjoy cars or learning about famous Americans this is one stop you should make. Awesome!!!, Shelby Heritage Center is a must stop for any sports car enthusiast. Mike Dempsey, who is Shelby American’s Historian/Tour Guide, is very passionate about the topic, which is to outline the life of Carroll Shelby, as well as the cars that he was involved in developing and racing. Visitors can self-tour during their business hours, but I would recommend attending the free guided tour which is at 10:30. The tour is unique in that the tour participants are involved, and provided small scripts so that they can role play different people that were involved in Carroll Shelby’s life story. A great experience. Seeing the different cars was awesome, and they also allow you to view the factory floor where they continue to build Cobra Mustangs, and last but not least, there is a wonderful gift shop. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45963-d2409034-Reviews-Shelby_American_Inc-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html | 4.5 | Shelby American, Inc. | categories: Speciality Museums | Description: This location is our manufacturing facility and home of the Shelby Heritage Center.

Las Vegas | Reviews: Awesome views of the city and the mountains, We were lucky that we did not have to wait long to board the High Roller Wheel. It moves super slow, so it gives plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the view. The full ride is about 30 min. and narrates the story of the City of Las Vegas. I was a little disappointed that there was no bar service although there is in the area prior to getting in the pod and I thought that it was a little over-priced at $25/pp. The Linq Bigwheel Open Bar. , We did the open bar on the big wheel and it was definitely worth it. We pre booked our tickets and was defo worth it as you jump the queue when you get there. We boarded our pod about 6.30pm and were greeted by Brett. Brett the barman was funny, informative and got everyone in the mood to party. Tip him well at the start and those drinks never stop flowing. The pod is spacious, very clean and well worth the money. As it gets to the highest point Brett knows the best place to take all your photographs for you. If you point something out he’ll do his best to inform you what it is, the cost of building it, interesting facts etc. Remember there’s no toilets on board so make sure you go before you get onboard. He makes it a friendly time and asks where everyone is from, any special occasions etc. And remember as it nearly finishes you can ask him for a “ drink to go”! Overall a great hour, great views and worth the money. , Traveled as a couple Perfect Cluster of Activities and Restaurants for Flamingo Hotel Guests!, This is a great central location on the strip with tons of activities for both people staying in the Flamingo Hotel or the Linq. We stayed at the Flamingo and it was such a short walk from the casino since it connected to our hotel. There's everything from Starbucks, Daquri Bar, Mexican Restaurant, American dining, In-and-Out Burger, Sugar Factory, and souvenir shops all reasonably priced. Not to mention the giant High Roller ferris wheel is such a few steps away.
