Yes, all of the familiar dishes are here: the hamachi jalapeño, the miso black cod and of course, the assortment of tiraditos inspired by Nobu’s time in Peru. And while there is an older version of his namesake at the Hard Rock, the newer one at Caesars is a gigantic sushi-laden homage to the master, … Continued
There’s something about a casino that goes to the trouble of sourcing not only great restaurants (Blue Ribbon Sushi, Milos, Jaleo) but also cares enough to pipe in a killer soundtrack during the day, featuring some of my favorite alternative bands from the 80s. The rooms are cool, the location is prime and they’ve got … Continued
You can certainly eat here – they’ve upgraded both the fine dining and the more casual menu outside on the lawn – but if you have the budget, by all means stay at the Jerome as well. I love its location, just a few minutes’ walk from the start of the Rio Grande bike/walking trail, … Continued
I’ve stayed in several hotel rooms in Vegas over the years, sometimes as a tourist, other times on business. I have to say, nothing really compares to The Wynn in terms of creature comforts and beautiful rooms. I realize you probably don’t spend a ton of time in your room while in Vegas, but the … Continued
I love this place. Definitely off of the beaten path (a 10 min. cab ride to downtown) but the private collection of original, modern art makes this funky property worth the trip. Rooms are cozy, with quirky touches and unique furnishings. Think hipster-meets-boutique. The bar is a popular gathering place for locals, and the food/soundtrack … Continued

All of the raw materials used to build the property came from Ontario, and considering Toronto is the World Headquarters of the Four Seasons luxury brand, this competitor is giving it a run for its money. Rooms aren’t cheap, but if you can afford … Continued
The grande dame of Toronto, this flagship property for the Canadian chain is both majestic and refined. Perfect location for downtown meetings, near the Toronto International Film Festival and Hockey Hall of Fame. Most of the produce used in their restaurant comes from a magnificent rooftop garden.
The newest addition to The Strip is also the most accessible, in terms of frontage. Instead of walking a mile from the street to get inside the casino, you can literally walk into the Bond Bar right off the Strip. Check out the Chandelier Bar in the center of the complex, as well as the … Continued
I’ve never stayed here, but I have had numerous sazeracs out on the front porch. On a warm evening, with the St. Charles Streetcar running by, it’s as if you’ve stepped into a scene from a Tennessee Williams play. Do NOT take a cab here; part of the fun is riding the streetcar all the … Continued
I love that this hotel is outside of the Quarter, and its best-kept secret is The Swizzle Stick Lounge, where Lu Brow presides over an impressive list of classic and modern cocktails. Cafe Adelaide is also here, right next door.
This is the only hotel in New Orleans, and in all of Louisiana, to receive both Forbes Four Stars (formerly Mobil) and AAA Four Diamonds Awards. This luxury New Orleans hotel, featuring nearly all-suite accommodations, is designed to perfectly match the needs of both the leisure and business traveler alike.
