Rockford Foodie made it to Vegas this year to bet on the March Mayhem, which didn't go so great, but hey its Vegas. When I was there I went to some good and some not so good restaurants. Since Vegas is, in my opinion, the number one thing that America has to offer, I figured you would like my expert opinion about places where I ate. The first place I went was called Koi in Planet Hollywood which interestingly turns into a night club at night. This place is your typical sushi/tempura joint, but it has some interesting flavors and a different atmosphere that makes the high price range (compared to Rockford) seem kind of worth it. The atmosphere involves these big fluffy couches that you sink into, which is great if you are at your buddies house drinking beer and watching the game, but not so great when you are trying to maneuver sushi and tempura with chopsticks (yeah, didn't even give the option for silverware, how presumptuous). My wife thought the chair thing was awesome though so suit, or seat in this case, yourself.
As for the food, it was pretty great. Was it $134 dollars better than Rockford's own Hachi Hachi.... debatable, very debatable. It's debatable because I don't know about you, but raw fish kind of all tastes the same. Don't get me wrong. I like sushi and know there is a difference between good sushi and great sushi, but that difference is small. Anyone that says different is pretentious (no offense if that just happens to be you, but c'mon get real).
