At Home: Las Vegas
-
Grand Lux Cafe
Read Reviews3355 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (map)
"The menu is great, the atmosphere is great, but the floors are as slick as ice because it's polished marble. Sometimes it looks like the Ice Capades in there. Try the chicken piccata with angel hair. The late-night menu is awesome, too."
-
Mr Lucky's 24/7
Read Reviews4455 Paradise Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (map)
"Fast serviced, great food, and who knows, you might even get to be Mr. Lucky himself and see Pamela Anderson eating a hot dog or Meat Loaf choking on... well... meatloaf."
-
Ruth's Chris Steak House
Read Reviews4561 W Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89103 (map)
"The one on Flamingo is open until 4am and you can't beat their meat."
-
Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino
Read Reviews3535 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (map)
"The Imperial Palace Auto Collection is located on the fifth floor of the Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas. There are over 800 automobiles. Visitors will see 200 or more on display at any one time."

Casa di Amore
Read Reviews2850 E Tropicana Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89121 (map)

On the Road
-
Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical
Read Reviews31005 Orchard Lake Rd, Farmington Hills, MI 48334 (map)
"This place is filled with magic, neon, antiques, posters, airplanes, robots, animation and all sorts of odd and unusual coin operated games. You name it and it's there. Over 5,000 square feet of coolness and things you want in your home (or at least your garage)."
-
Cliff House
Read Reviews1090 Point Lobos Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121 (map)
"Try this place for breakfast or Sunday brunch. You can live off of their scones or biscuits (or whatever they are). They melt in your mouth and you feel like a crack addict if they don't bring them fast enough. There's also a great view of the ocean, since you almost sit on top of it."
-
Teatro ZinZanni: Love, Chaos & Dinner
Read ReviewsPier 29, San Francisco, CA 94111 (map)
"Here's an odd and great way to spend an evening. It's a circus-like European cabaret that features divas and madmen, unreal specialty acts and things you've never dreamed of. There is audience interaction, live music and a gourmet five-course dinner--set in the nightclub of your dreams!"
-
American Coney Island
Read Reviews114 W Lafayette Blvd, Detroit, MI 48226 (map)
"The only place to get a true Coney Dog is in Michigan. They are on every street corner and you can order three to four hot dogs and eat them all, no problem. "
-
Inn of the Seventh Ray
Read Reviews128 Old Topanga Canyon Rd, Topanga, CA 90290 (map)
"It's in Topanga Canyon in the mountains overlooking Malibu, and you drive all these twisty turns until you are in the middle of nowhere, then you see the most beautiful place ever. You eat outside in the woods near a stream and there are twinkle lights everywhere."
-
Silent Movie Theatre
Read Reviews611 N Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036 (map)
"They have an organist that plays along to the movies just like in the old days. They show only the best: Chaplin, Keaton and all the old classics the way they are supposed to be seen."
-
Academy Of Magical Arts
Read Reviews7001 Franklin Ave, Hollywood, CA 90028 (map)
"This is a very exclusive private club in Hollywood--you have to be a member or an invited guest of a member--but if you're a magician (or you just like magic) then you need to visit. It's the ultimate place to entertain guests. Great shows and great food. Have a member recommend you and you are in!"
-
Jerry's Famous Deli
Read Reviews12655 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604 (map)
"They are many locations, and if you like real deli food they can't be touched. Best matzo ball soup and best rueben. Don't offer to take the bill though, it's getting pricey to eat there. The trick is split the meal with someone, because the portions are so big they will feed two."
