I once got a piece of pizza in Rome that was so good it probably should have carried a warning for “pregnant women, small children, and people liable to faint when eating really good pizza.” Italian restaurants have great treasures to offer. However, their delights can easily be ruined by a few unexpected charges on your bill. To help preserve these culinary wonders here is a quick overview of what to expect from Italy’s havens of food.

OK, so here is a part where you pay less at an Italian restaurant than an American one. The 15% or so tip that is common in the US is rarely done here. If there is a service fee, don’t tip. You already paid for service. If there isn’t a service fee, tips are sometimes left in the 5% range. All in all you usually just pay about what they ask you to.

If you are traveling to Las Vegas any time soon, you might want to learn how to get discounted nightclub tickets.

It’s easy to do, simply look for people (most of them Mexican) who are handing out nightclub flyers on the main strip.

If you ask them if they have any specials for the upcoming weekend or night, they can sell you discounted coupons which will usually get you $20-$50 off the usual entrance fee.

There, there’s a simple tip for your next Las Vegas outing.

Here’s some good info about the Hot Springs in Dunton, Colorado.
clipped from www.duntonhotsprings.com

Dunton Hot Springs is a small and exclusive resort nestled deep in the San Juan Mountains of the Colorado Rockies.

This perfectly restored ghost town thrives on contradictions; hand-hewn log cabins exquisitely furnished, a life-worn saloon serving food of startling quality, lung torturing trails followed by pampering massages, sensuous hot springs beneath shimmering snow banks. Free of cell phones, this romantic old mining town still provides high speed wireless internet access and video conferencing to the comforting sound of a tumbling waterfall.

Heerim architects are looking to build the Star Wars staple in, of all places, Baku, Azerbaijan. They’re hoping to bring this design, called the Hotel Full Moon, and another, the Hotel Crescent, to one of the fastest growing economies and will rightly call the area Full Moon Bay.
Both hotels will overlook the Caspian Sea but again, these hotels still seem like pipe dreams so no word on when they will actually open, or if they will be destroyed before they are fully operational by a young jedi pilot who use to shoot wamp rats on Tatooine.
