Aces & Ales Strong Beer Festival – Day One

admin — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 15:52:23 +0000

Winewench and I haven’t been going anywhere new lately. Our weekly outings have been limited to stopping by Yard House, mainly because lately we’ve been interested in beer on Fridays and frankly Yard House has the best selection of beers we like, and it’s nearby. That all changes this weekend, with the arrival of Aces & Ales [...] [...]

Let it go to voice mail

Why do people bother answering their phone when they can’t talk to you? It’s rude to answer your phone and then tell the person that you can’t talk because you’re with someone else. Oh, so I’m bothering you and not good enough to talk to? Why the #@$# did you answer in the first place? Haven’t you heard [...] [...]

There are mockingbirds “dive-bombing” the people going into the North Las Vegas City Hall. They are just protecting their nests, but if you’re a woman watch out because they seem to be targeting them. Here’s a great comment from an employee, “I used to site in my car and watch them attack someone, wait until they [...] [...]

Can I PLEASE talk to a customer service person who speaks ENGLISH!

Wine Wench — Fri, 28 May 2010 20:11:43 +0000

I am sick and tired of customer service people who do not understand ENGLISH! The next time I get one on the phone, I’m sending the product back. ...And This Is Why We Drink™ [...]

Lee’s Discount Liquor just lost my business

Permanently… Winewench and I were out doing some shopping, and while we were at Sam’s Club I decided to pick up some Bailey’s Irish Cream. Sam’s Club had the one liter bottle available for $20.99. Being the prudent shopper that I am, I decided to whip out my trusty iPhone and check the price over at [...] [...]

In our continuing quest to celebrate our anniversary and Winwench’s birthday weekend, we decided to head over to to sample their wares.

After lunch at Todd English P.U.B., Winewench and I decided to stop by The Pinball Hall of Fame and Museum. They have over 150 games and pinball machine including some very early Bally, Williams, and others. Most of the machine play for a quarter, and bring back lots of memories (like I really suck at [...] [...]

Todd English P.U.B. is located in the Crystals Casino in MGM City Center. After driving around for a while trying to find our way in, we finally [...] [...]

Aces & Ales

Winewench and I are all about happy hours. So we had been talking to some of our favorite bartenders at Yardhouse, we were told over and over again to try Aces and Ales, so we figured we’d give it a go. Checking out their website, we were horrified to discover that the only thing approximating a happy [...] [...]
