Mirage - Petite Suite 2008

Petite suite at Mirage in November 2008. Needs a makeover like their new remodeled standard rooms. 2 big bathroom is great, 2 TVs are great too, except not enough TV channels and when I try to turn on the TV by the bed, the other TV (the one by the sofa) also turns on.

Mirage - BLT Burger Dec.2008

Mirage

BLT Burger at Mirage in December, 2008. This time, the burgers were kinda disappointing. Still, the shakes were good. We both didn't like our burgers. I don't know if I just don't like salmon burgers or just this one, but I personally don't recommended. The reason I got this salmon burger was because the waiter recommended it last time. I didn't try the fried pickles, so I don't know if it's good or not. But my husband said they were tasty. Maybe you can try to deep-fry pickles at home if you wanna know what they taste like.

Bellagio - Sensi 2008

las vegas

Sensi at Bellagio. We received this really good offer from Bellagio. It was 2 tickets to see "O", free rooms, free food at select restaurants, and lunch for 2 at Sensi. I believe we could use up to $200 here. But after ordering all this food, it was still just a little over $150. But this was so much food, we were both so full. We had a good experience here.

The service was excellent. Food was good too, but I felt like we ordered too much raw fish. I wish I had chosen either "roll on summer" or "sashimi selection", not both. I really liked the wonton soup. It's expensive for wonton soup, if you are paying with your own money, but the stock was very tasty, and everything, including stock and wontons, is all homemade. So I think it's worth it. Sushi rolls were very stuffed and kinda heavy. Just these rolls would be enough for your lunch.

Desserts were good, too, although I think I don't like tapioca in desserts like this. I like boba but I guess that's different. Still, the tapioca pudding came in a chocolate bowl. I didn't think it was gonna be served like this. Very pretty.

Quiznos - free subs from Million Subs Giveaway

fast food

So we got these Quiznos free subs. I know that some of you had problems. In fact, there are a few Quiznos in my neighborhood, and one of the stores says "no coupons", other one says "you must buy chips and a drink to get a free sub" or something like that. But there is one Quiznos that accepted the free sub coupons, so we got these for free without showing ID or anything (but we had to pay for tax, it was 84 cents for two). Also the people who work there weren't jerks. So that was lucky, I guess, since there were so many people who couldn't get it for free.

CLICK HERE to read about all these people who had trouble getting free subs.

Also I don't think they really reached a million subs, they probably stopped before it reached a million, due to all these people complaining.

This was my second time at Quiznos, and I'd never pay my own money to eat there. Quiznos subs are really small, and not enough toppings. The veggie sandwich and the chicken sandwich were both only 2 inches wide. At Subway, you can get bigger bread with triple toppings.

Normally, these tiny subs costs $4.67 each!
