There are few things in Las Vegas more thrilling than the comprehensive Pinball Hall of Fame. So after dusting off my flipper skills and thoroughly rocking a few tables (especially the new Indiana Jones), K and I went on a comida/bebida mission worthy enough for a level 10 wizard.
We made the quick jaunt over to Chinatown, where Ichiza (gracias, Spence) serves up some truly amazing Izakaya style comestibles. Although we were given menus, it's the handmade signs plastered all over the walls that tell the real comida story.
Along with some juicy pollo yakitori, some of our ordered highlights included a crispy grilled mackerel
a tasty tataki salad with seared tuna, hamachi, and beef
not to mention an incredible cut roll: deep fried natto (fermented soybeans) topped with tuna.
After dinner we sauntered over to the 'happiest place on earth' where the 'beer is cold and the machines are caliente', but what really makes Frankie's shine (other than that it's open 24 hours) are the pungent tiki drinks and stylish island decor. The potency of concoctions here are rated by a clever skull scale (1 to 5), K sipped on a fruity Malekula (level 2) while I dove in for the lethal Bender Ender (level 5): rums, POG, floated with 160 proof dark. Whoa, upon flying back to an absolutely magnifico hotel room I couldn't stop thinking about our successful Sin City triple play. Next time you're in town give it a spin and good luck!
