I think it was About.com's Las Vegas guy who said he thinks this is the best Chinese in Las Vegas and one of the best restaurants of all. Wolfgang Puck's "Chinois" is in the Caesars Shops which are connected to Caesar's Palace Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
Prices are moderate here at Chinois - expect to pay $25 per person and up for a nice meal. The decor was very appealing - upscale but not extravagant.

Elvis in Las Vegas
If you are a big Elvis fan there is a helpful web page from Vegas.com will help you find your Elvis in Vegas. Click here for Vegas.com's guide to Elvis stuff in Las Vegas.
You may want to check out Legends In Concert at the Imperial Palace, with a big show featuring Elvis and other legends. Add the meal option which is only about $60 vs over $50 without the meal. If you are on tight budget (or just frugal), check out the discount show ticket places along the strip which often offer half price show tickets. Ask at your hotel desk for the location and best strategies to get discounted tickets.
Generally in Las Vegas if you are flexible about days, seating, and shows you can find much cheaper entertainment than if you insist on a specific headliner at a specific time, which will generally run you full price and range from $50 to $250 depending on the show.

Sands Profits - and Stock Price - Down
Las Vegas Sands, one of the key Las Vegas empires and owner of the Venetian, Palazzo, and Sands Convention Center, lost about 11 million last quarter and the stock took a big hit today, down about 8%.
CNBC reports that tourists to Las Vegas have scaled back spending and I think also there are fewer visits, though the convention traffic remains strong.
Some have suggested that the Casino business and Las Vegas in particular would be resistant to economic downturns as people turn to entertainment to sooth their economic frustrations, but this news does not support that idea.

Macau High Speed Ferry
High speed Macau ferries take folks to Macau for Gambling. I think the trip is about 30 minutes from the peer in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor to the island of Macau where massive gaming development is underway by Chinese and Las Vegas casino interests like Wynn, Venetian, and MGM.
But Macau is a lot more than gambling. The island offers a look back into the fascinating history of the Portuguese colony in the heart of the orient.

Cher Returns to Las Vegas' Caesar's Palace in May. (Official Cher Website Link)
Cher started in Las Vegas and she's still going strong with what is likely to be one of the most spectacular shows in Las Vegas History, starting at Caesar's Palace May 6th.
Here's the Official Cher Website: http://www.cher.com
Cher's career spans several decades during which she has soared to mega stardom after being something of a second fiddle to comidian and pretty bad singer Sonny Bono with whom she shared the "Sonny and Cher" TV show, a marriage, and daughter Chastity Bono.
Cher's amazing talents include brilliant movie performances and dozens of huge pop music hits.

Venetian Spring Specials
Check out the Venetian website for some great spring specials including suites at $139. The Venetian and her new twin tower, the Palazzo Las Vegas, offer one of the most elegate venues on the strip and at the special rates make for a great bargain this spring in Las Vegas.
Trump Tower is also now open though I don't have details yet on rates or specials there.

Hong Kong High Rollers
The Island of Macau has gone from a sleepy Portuguese colonial enclave to one of the world´s top gaming and resort casino destinations. Huge investment in the Cotai strip by American gaming empires Wynn, MGM, and the Venetian are almost certain to define this area very near Hong Kong´s bustling metropolis as the new Las Vegas of the Orient.
High speed hydrofoils take people from Hong Kong to Macau - I think every 30 minutes though reservations may be required for the trip.
