I first visited the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino when it was in a soft opening in 1999. It’s an all-suite, Venice-themed hotel and casino, and like most things in Vegas, it is over-the-top.
A few current features of the Venetian include the art exhibit Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, gondola […]
Today’s matchbook is a contribution from Shane who writes The Tokyo Traveler.
I wish that I could offer up a little more insight as to the location and cuisine of the restaurant, but you’ll have to follow her blogs posts to learn about the food of Tokyo.
Thanks for the contribution, Shane!
If you have a matchbook […]
Today’s matchbook comes from the Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church, Virginia.
I had nearly forgotten about this restaurant, as it has been a couple years since I visited. I tried it out with a co-worker after recommendations from several passengers. It was farther from our hotel that we understood it to be, and […]
A Matchbook Monday from a little closer to my home, this week, with the Emerald Queen Casino.
The Emerald Queen is operated by the Puyallup Indian Tribe, and is one of the largest in the state. When the Emerald Queen originally opened in 1997 it was on an authentic paddlewheel riverboat (called the Emerald Queen) […]
A recent trip to Portland had me out hopping around some places that have opened up since I had been there several years ago. Today’s Matchbook Monday features one of those places, a Pan American Bistro in the Eliot Neighborhood, Mint.
A visit to Mint actually gives you two options, the more formal dining of […]
Today’s Matchbook Monday features one of my favorite Mexico hotels, the Marriott Casa Magna Resort & Spa in the Marina Vallarta area of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
The hotel is a quick five minutes from the airport, and is located directly on the ocean. Try to secure a room with a view of it, if you […]
Today’s Matchbook Monday is an oldie, but goodie, from the former Aladdin Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Aladdin opened in 1966, with a Arabic theme, and gained fame as the location of Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s wedding. Although remodeled and refurbished over the years, and passing through the hands of numerous owners, the […]
Today’s Matchbook Monday comes from a friend who swears that this is her favorite Italian restaurant in Georgetown — Paolo’s.
The Georgetown location (1303 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington DC) was the original home for Paolo’s, and the restaurant has now expanded to additional locations in Reston and Towson. You can check out the menu here.
I […]
Today’s Matchbook Monday features The Riverhouse, a hotel, conference center, and restaurant in Bend, Oregon.
I stayed at The Riverhouse a number of years ago while I was attending and speaking at a conference. The hotel is located on the Deschutes River, and while it has a rustic feel, the accommodations are anything but rustic. […]
Today’s Matchbook Monday comes from La Tomate, a family owned Italian bistro in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington DC.
A friend sent me this matchbook and reminded me of many an evening we had spent there with a bottle of wine and a lively conversation. I’m not sure that we ever had a meal […]
