yes, thats sarcastic. Thai food is all over the place in Fremont, but for lunch my co-workers and I go here quite often. They have a nice combo meal and you can get out of there for about $10 or less everytime.
The main waitress, I don't know her name, is always very nice, whether you know her or not, but if you become a regular she becomes very talkative and friendly and we even got a free dessert once.

A few years back I was looking for a solid road bike, but I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg. I checked out a bunch of other shops, like Montlake, but ended up going with Greg's for a couple reasons.
First off, they were cheaper. It was only slightly, but money is money. Second off, the staff was much friendlier overall (although the people at Montlake were ok), and they really seemed excited to help you get a new bike. I also really enjoyed that they send you out of the store on pretty much any bike you want to get a feel for what's going on. The person I worked with even put me on a super expensive bike he knew I wasn't going to get, just so I could tell the difference.
Finally, I needed to get my clipless pedals and shoes setup, and they did a great job helping me out in that area as well. Also, I got my first tune up free, and the shop guys were all very friendly and knowledgeable. It's a great place to buy a bike.

I have been to Vegas quite a few times, and this was definitely one of the better hotels. They have a great pool area that is setup like a beach, a nice Casino with many nice restaurants, and a pretty good overall vibe.
The rooms were nice, the bathroom was one of the biggest I have seen in Vegas, and it had a solid view to the mountains.
When approaching the strip, you realize that while the other hotels are no slouches, this is one of the largest ones. From what I understand a few of the top floors make up the Four Seasons, and have their own private elevators, etc.
I would stay at the Mandalay again, although, I wish it was a bit cheaper.

This place is about a $30 cab ride from the strip, so it is really more of a local casino.
The casino had some really cool stained glass windows all above and a pretty friendly vibe. They had a live band playing there that was broadcast over several TV's, and we had a good time watching drunk people make fools of themselves.
Just like Ellis Island, the beer was more reasonable here, and we had a good time playing at the blackjack tables. If you like more low key, and aren't in Vegas to be "seen", you may want to check this place out.

I was in Vegas this past weekend and was taken to Ellis Island by a friend on mine who has lived in Vegas for the past 5 years. It's not a fancy place, nor large, but it does have one very good draw: cheap beer.
After paying exorbitant prices on the strip, it was a welcome change to pay $2 for a beer and play some blackjack with a friendly dealer.
I was happy with it, but then again, I wasn't looking to be a high roller.

Then this is a pretty good place to snowboard. It's not quite as big as Crystal (my fav), but is definitely good and just slightly closer to Seattle. Depending on weather, it could be a wash.
If you are going to brave the elements and really enjoy expert skiing, don't miss Seventh Heaven. Definitely an interesting trail.
Overall, I find the backside of the mountain the most fun in good snow conditions.

I guess its all about priorities here. It has its good points, just depends on what you can/cannot overlook.

This place was introduced to me by a friend one Sunday afternoon for Dim Sum, but I have gone back plenty of times on my own and brought many a newbie.
This place is HUGE, and always packed when I go there, but the food is worth it. Don't go here expecting good service, go here expecting a large variety of food being carted up to your table, and overeating. My favorite in the world though is the sesame balls at the end. They are SO good.

Everyone always talks about the green noodles here. Some good, some bad, but I have to say I have been happy with the overall green noodle phenomenon. (and basically everything else I have gotten at the Shanghai Garden.)
Their Tofu dishes are as tasty as their meat based dishes, and its a large, accomodating restaraunt that is typically pretty busy. I haven't really ever had a hard time getting a seat there though, and service is always good, so that's a plus in my book.
There are likely more authentic places in the ID to get Chinese food, but I always enjoy this place.

I went here for a friends birthday once, and we were all pretty excited by the concept. When you go in, its got the middle eastern decor like you would expect and you sit on cushions or a bench at the tables.
The one thing that threw me off was the lack of silverware. Now, I am not a prude when it comes to this kind of thing, but when eating something like cous cous, this issue was too apparent.
The food was pretty tasty, but I don't remember there being a large variety of ingredients. I do remember a lot of starch and carbs though and walking out of there uncomfortably full. Definitely worth a one time experience, just not sure on how many repeat performances would occur.
