So, I went to Vegas recently and stayed at the Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa. It was worth the money. Few hotels are, but this one was. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable and the grounds beautiful. The pool was perfect for both families and couples. The pool has a sand beach side were little kids were playing in the sand. It also has a deep end were people were swimming and a shallow end were lawn chairs were placed in the water so people could sunbathe. The lounges were terrific because they were the size of double beds w/mattresses and pillows. Further, there was plenty of shade for those of us who don't sunbathe.
Now, to the important part, the FOOD. Because we spent more money on the rooms, we ended up spending less money on the food. The hotel is located in a outdoor mall area with several chain restaurants. We went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory which was fine. Frankly, I think the cheesecake is the best thing there. I got the tuxedo cheesecake and really liked it. We also ate at the Elephant Bar which was good. About a step and a half up from Applebees. I expensive meal was at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant Postrio located in The Venetian. I ordered the Kobe beef sliders, the linguine with clams and the tiramisu. Everything was very tasty but nothing that blew me away. I think I like the beef sliders the best tho. The service was very good.
We also went to see the show LOVE at the Mirage which I thought was a rip-off. I think the show was ill conceived and boring. The flow of the show was incongruous and the staging was distracting. Both KA and Mystere are far better productions and are worth the money. So, this is a case to not spend your hard earned money on LOVE. xoxo-- Tink

Tinker, I have heard great things about this spa. Loved your report. Sounds like my kind of place! Since I am not a cheesecake lover, I am not big on the cheesecake factory either. My favorite item on the menu are the lettuce wraps.
