WHAT: Craziest H&M in the World

WHERE: H&M Caesars Palace Las Vegas (Forum Shops)

WHEN: Saturday (Feb 12)
The Caesars Palace hotel and casino is known for its great shopping and consumer experience. After visiting the Cheesecake Factory I came across the newest addition to the Forum shops, the new H&M shop. If I had to describe it I would say its like Cirque du Soleil meets retail. DJs in the roof, mannequins flying through the sky, and lots of lights. As amazing as this shop looks, I do feel bad for the clean up crew.

WHAT: Man Facial

WHERE: Spa at the Mandalay Bay

WHEN: Sunday (Feb 1), 11 a.m.
I got treated to a Vitamin C face treatment and I have to say it's pretty great to get have your face massaged and treated. The treatment took about 50 minutes and cost about $170. I know it's expensive but your face feels and looks like a million bucks afterward.

WHAT: The Famous Halibut

WHERE: Mix Restaurant

WHEN: Sunday (Feb 13), 6 p.m.
I had a great Valentine's dinner at Mix restaurant at The Hotel. The venue is fantastic and the food was even better. I ate this great crusted halibut, eggplant caviar, lemon/caper meal, and she had the same. The view of the city from this restaurant is really mind blowing. I guess that’s what you get on the 64th floor.

WHAT: Julian Marley performs at the Project Show for The Project Love

WHERE: Project Show at the Mandalay Convention Centre

WHEN: Monday (Feb 14), 5 p.m.

It was really cool to see Julian Marley perform at the Project Show. His voice, movements, and swagger had an uncanny resemblance to his father's. The house of Marley performed as a part of the Project Love component of the trade show, which was amazing. The security did get a little nervous at the end because of the Marley's habit of smoking ganja immediately following the show, but what did they expect?

WHAT: "Best Thai Place in North America?" - Hawaii Mike

WHERE: Lotus of Siam

WHEN: Wednesday (Feb 16), 7:30 p.m.

This was probably the best Thai food I've ever experienced. People had been talking about this place all week and I finally got the chance to check it out with Hawaii Mike and Nick from Slam X hype. Anyone who knows anything about good food can be found in the spot, eating multiple times per week. When we walked in, we saw the homie Chris Julien from Fruition, Anita from 722, the fellas from 10 Deep, the homies from Orisue, and so many other people. Every single thing we tried was super tasty. It was like flavors exploding on your taste buds. What usually happens in Vegas usually should stay in Vegas but I’m suggesting you share this experience with all your friends.
