If you love chocolate and are in Las Vegas, you should try Max Brenner, Chocolate by the Bald Man, located in the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace. We did not try them for dinner, only for dessert, ordering the “Fondue for Sharing”. We opted for the dark chocolate fondue (you can also choose milk or …
My friend Jessica suggested Raku as a place to go off the strip in Vegas. Raku is a very authentic Japanese yakitori located on Spring Mountain Road in the “Chinatown” area of Vegas.
