I’m always looking for new, solo-friendly places to eat when I go to Las Vegas.  Because my last trip was longer than usual for me, I needed to stretch my budget with some low-priced meals.  During my research, I read that Ra Sushi at the Fashion Show Mall had great prices and decent food.  Ra [...]

While I was in Las Vegas in early September, I was able to take advantage of Restaurant Week. During Restaurant Week, a number of Las Vegas restaurants offer prix fixe menus at a reduced price and donate proceeds to Three Square, a local charity which feeds the hungry.
