Curry Pot - Halal and midnight food option in Las Vegas

Las Vegas can be considered as a city which never sleep. However, there are not many restaurant which open at midnight. I was hungry on one of the night and was walking around The Strip to find the best food option. I found the options that I have are either fast food or Indian food. I tried the Indian food stall in Venetian resort food court. The price were reasonable and if you are Muslim, their food is Halal as well. The downside is probably the waiting time. It takes almost 15 minutes for my meal to be ready.

Taste:8/10(Good. Their vegetable biryani although it was good but its too spicy for me. The curry is fragrant and taste of saffron. This makes me think back of curry that I had in London which taste was so delicious. They put a lot of spices into their curry which makes it tasty. The dish comes with raita which taste great).
Price:6/10(Moderate. Ordered vegetable biryani at USD9.00. Portion were big with plenty of rice).


Vegetable biryani with raita (a cold yogurt condiment). This meal contains mixed vegetables, basmati rice, yogurt, onion, saffron and herbs/spices.

The stall is in the Venetian resort food court.

Nicely prepared.

Taste good but too spicy.

2-course lunch meal at Trevi @ Caesar Palace, Las Vegas, USA

This place is for you if you like to watch people as it located just beside fountain in The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. Food is average but service is good. Tried this restaurant as I attracted to their 2-course meal set which is rather reasonable for Las Vegas Strip.

Taste:7/10(Moderate. Their signature dish frutti di Mare although with good ingredients but taste rather bland. The Trevi salad is too sourish and chicken parmigiana is good. Pizza is quite normal).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. 2-course lunch meal at USD20.00. Linguine al frutti di Mare at USD30.00).



Chicken parmigiana - Romano breaded and sauteed, served with linguine marinara.

Dining with Bellagio fountains view @ Mon Ami Gabi, Las Vegas, USA

This is my first meal in Las Vegas after long flight from Seoul. Since I am staying just beside the Bellagio resort, there are plenty of opportunity for photography and food hunting. Mon Ami Gabi provides both good food and outside tables that overlook the Las Vegas Strip. They are proud to be known as charming French bistro highlighting classics such as steak frites & onion soup, plus patio dining. They are famous for their steak dish. Do request to sit outside if there is seat available as you get to enjoy the Bellagio fountains while dining.

Grand Canyon National Park - video presentation

Visited Grand Canyon National Park in 2009. Depart from Las Vegas via bus. The journey took 5 hours one way. However, along the journey, we stop at Hoover Dam, have a lunch at Kingman, Arizona & have a few rest stop before reaching Grand Canyon. Its a rather hot & dry weather as we pass by the desert but don't really mind about the 5 hours journey. Booked my tour from www.grandcanyontourcompany.com and the experience is pretty good. The tour guide able to talk non-stop for 2-3 hours along the journey describing the places that we pass by and a bit of history of the places.
