Just throwing this beauty at Oakville Steakhouse inside The Trop out there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n5. Best Fine Dining: Tuscany Gardens<\/h3>\n Tuscany Gardens is a restaurant at the Tuscany Suites & Casino. We like the Tuscany casino quite a bit. Tuscany Gardens is probably a lovely restaurant. However, Tuscany Gardens being named the best fine dining restaurant in Las Vegas is the kind of embarrassment against which all other “Best of Las Vegas” award embarrassments should be measured.<\/p>\n
6. Best Tacos: Pub 365<\/h3>\n We are not making this up. Again, love the Tuscany, but we aren’t even sure Pub 365’s tacos are the best tacos at the Tuscany.<\/p>\nThere’s a lot to love at Tuscany, even when it’s not Taco Tuesday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n7. Best Strip Restaurant: Margaritaville<\/h3>\n Again, love Margaritaville. It’s a party, and a woman in a bikini sometimes slides into a giant blender. What’s not to love? Margaritaville being named “Best Strip Restaurant,” however, makes us think these awards are just an elaborate prank.<\/p>\nMargirlrita.™<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n8. Best Comedian: Butch Bradley<\/h3>\n Butch. You’re probably awesome. Please don’t talk shit about us on your Twitter account. But, seriously. Comedy, like tacos, is subjective, but if you were the best comedian in the “Entertainment Capital of the World,” we’d have heard of you. All we’re saying there’s a lot of competition. Carrot Top. Penn. Piff. Hammer and Cools and Garrett and Seinfeld. Oh, yeah, we said Seinfeld. We’re definitely getting shit talked about us.<\/p>\n
9. Best Strip Hotel Pool: Tahiti Village<\/h3>\n Haven’t been there, still skeptical, sorry. Ever been to Mandalay Bay? Or Caesars Palace? How about Cosmo? Golden Nugget literally has a waterslide running through a shark tank. ‘Nuff said.<\/p>\n
10. Best Holiday Experience: Glittering Lights<\/h3>\n It’s been confirmed, the “Best of Las Vegas” awards are definitely an elaborate prank. Glittering Lights at the Las Vegas Speedway is undeniably one of the worst attractions in Las Vegas, holiday-themed or not. We call it the “Drive of Crushing Disappointment.” The light displays mostly consist of advertisements, and the live nativity scene is monumentally awkward. Steer clear of this collision of weak and sauce, and certainly don’t encourage these folks with awards.<\/p>\nNow, we know why people are so depressed during the holidays.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIf your mouth is agape, you’re not alone. These are just some of the highlights of this annual avalanche of “Whuh?”<\/p>\n
We’re not even going to point out that the award for Best Elder Law was won by Young Law Group.<\/p>\n
The crazy part is that while virtually no one takes these awards seriously, virtually every company wants to win them.<\/p>\n
We have to wonder if the “Best of Las Vegas” awards ever give the folks at the Las Vegas Review-Journal (our paper of record) pause. When they see the results, do they cringe like the rest of us?<\/p>\n
Better yet, do the winners of the awards ever cringe? Do the folks at Saddle N Spurs Saloon actually believe they have the best happy hour in Las Vegas? If so, we’ll have what they’re having.<\/p>\n
All due respect to the entities that actually deserve their wins!<\/p>\n
Ultimately, these awards are up to us. We vote. It’s democracy in action, and democracy always nails it, right?<\/p>\n
