You need a few reasons to consider the newest hotel on the Las Vegas strip so this is the quick guide to the new SLS Las Vegas: (As I have just done a full five days of experiencing at this new property if I tell you to pace yourself you should know that the party factor is huge and there is a good chance that this place might require a little self discipline. )

Are you a pizza snob? Don't be ashamed about it. Own it. Embrace the fact that you know exactly what you want. However, just because you are from New York City or Chicago that does not automatically make you an expert.

Spend 30 minutes with this view and you can easily turn a little excursion into a full blown date night.

Well sometimes a restaurant is so great that you blow off your schedule and just chill out and enjoy a meal into the late afternoon.

These 3 lunch spot in Las Vegas will do that to you.
