El Dorado Cantina Gets 5 Stars

By

EL DORADO CANTINA RESTAURANT was opened in Las Vegas in 2014. The first one was on Sammy Davis Drive, just west of the strip. Every item on the menu is organic and non -GMO and has truly unique flavors. It is wonderfully popular and always full, and there is a private room in the back for parties. The guacamole is mixed at the table and is the best in town.  

Next up was the one at Tivoli Village on the West side of Las Vegas. Tivoli is filled with great shops and lots of restaurants and micro breweries; I was there Sunday for their new Sunday brunch and it was fabulous. Manager Josh Lane seated us and gave us a brief history of the menu, and brought out Chef Hugo Rodriguez who has been there for years. We opted to let him guide us through all of the new menu items.  

 

While a band was playing and margaritas flowing at every table, we started with chips, two salsas, and the fresh made guacamole. Next up was a stack of fantastic waffles stuffed with strawberries and whipped cream, a waffle with blueberries, and the most delicious ceviche I have ever tasted—with fantastic, giant pita-like chips. Plenty of shrimp marinated to perfection with peppers and cucumbers. We sampled the chicken enchilada covered in green sauce with rice and beans and chicken enchiladas with mole sauce and rice and fresh cooked spinach; beef quesadilla and both beef and chicken tacos with just the right toppings.  

We could have stayed here for hours but we were quickly reaching the full point. I had a mimosa, which was perfect with the food. Every single item is made fresh daily. At this location they have both a patio in front and a huge patio on the side, all perfect for groups.  

Let me tell you, as someone who dines out in Las Vegas about five nights a week, this is a wonderful place to go. The parking is free and when you are finished dining, I would recommend strolling through the shops. If you want to stay closer to the strip, the one on Sammy Davis drive is just a hop away.

Entrepreneur Darin Feinstein is the founder of this concept. He hopes to expand across the country and keep up his organic, and gmo-free principles at all locations. Every ingredient that he uses is selected based on how he keeps out antibiotics, pesticides and steroids. The decor is pure Mexican flavor, and very authentic. All locations open 24 hours. I’d give this chain a 5-star review.

Treasured Las Vegas Restaurant, Piero’s Italian Cuisine, Hosts 40th Anniversary Celebration

The best Italian steakhouse in the city celebrated 40 years on Monday night. I have been frequenting Piero’s since the first year it opened.

Jimmy Hoffa, Jr., and his family and I dined many years ago, along with Alan Dorfman who was the Teamsters Asset Manager, and his successor Alvin Baron. I dined a couple of times with Joey Cusumano and friends along with the boxing legend Ken Norton.  

One night we were seated next to the whole cast from Casino, parts of which were filmed at this fantastic establishment. 

The owner Freddie Glusman lived just a few doors down from me in Las Vegas Country Club. Countless celebrities over the years have had a magnificent evening here. 

On Monday, more than 200 well-known people of Las Vegas were among the people to celebrate and congratulate Mr. Glusman, including Las Vegas Raiders owner and regular, Mark Davis. The treasured Las Vegas fine dining restaurant’s owners, founder Freddie Glusman, and his son, Evan Glusman, treated guests to a fabulous celebration to honor the momentous occasion.

Guests, dressed to the hilt, were welcomed with champagne upon entering. Buffets were set up in each room, which were completely full. Freddie, himself a local icon, and Evan, who is now at the helm of Piero’s, thanked party guests, many of whom have been dining at Piero’s since the restaurant opened in 1982. People spoke of the Glusmans’ many Las Vegas contributions, as well as what the restaurant has meant to them, personally. For many Las Vegas locals, Piero’s has been the go-to restaurant to celebrate numerous special occasions.

Piero’s treated everyone to a feast featuring some of the restaurant’s favorite dishes, including agnolotti and a carving station with prime New York strip steak. A decadent seafood tower was overflowing with crab claws, shrimp, and more, and an ice sculpture by American Harvest Vodka treated guests to classic martinis.

Anyone who has watched the movie Casino over the years and seen inside the restaurant will recognize the great piano bar in the front room, which is filled nightly. Conveniently located right across from the convention center with valet parking, this restaurant always give you a night to remember.

King Richard — Movie Review

King Richard

Movie Review by Ray Schillaci

Warner Brothers Studio hits a grand slam with King Richard and a fabulous performance by Will Smith. It’s the story of the molding of two of the most remarkable tennis stars, Venus and Serena Williams, but this is not just another sports tale. Director Reinaldo Marcus Green and first time writer Zach Baylin concentrate not only on the title character, Richard Williams, they also give plenty of time to the family dynamic under Richard’s ruling.

Richard Williams had a plan for success for his whole family from the time his two daughters were born. He wanted to make them the greatest tennis players in the history of the sport. This was a way to get he and his family, his wife, three stepdaughters and his two daughters out of the ghetto of Compton, California, and become wildly rich and famous. Lofty dreams at best. But, his wife, Brandi, believed in his plan and the two of them were not just out to make sports stars out of the daughters they shared together, this husband and wife team would drill the importance of education for all their daughters.

This did not come without its bumps on the road to success. Not only did Richard and Brandi spend a good deal of time coaching their daughters day and night, they also held down two jobs; Richard as a security guard and Brandi as a nurse. Richard also had to fend off the gangs from his daughters and was severely beaten several times. Nothing ever deterred him from his quest even though several luminaries in the game wouldn’t even take a glance at the girls.

The film chronicles their struggles with Richard’s single-mindedness, going against the grain of everyone that did not believe in them (the family), cutting corners in competition and even battling neighbors who strongly felt that the parents were too hard on the girls. By no means is this a single story about Richard Williams or tennis. That’s the magic to this film – it’s about family and working hard for your dreams.

Much has been said about Will Smith’s performance as the patriarch. It’s probably his best performance since The Pursuit of Happyness. Smith is not just performing, he inhabits the very spirit of Richard Williams. From his hobbling gait to his posture, facial expressions and voice, Will Smith proves to be the very essence of the man who would be king.

If there would be a negative throughout it all, Smith, the writer and director omit some of Williams’ more surly moments. But, the Williams family has not only approved of the movie, but praises the depiction. Aside from Smith’s brilliance, Aunjanue Ellis as Brandi is both warm and strong. Her scene confronting her husband on his tyrannical attitude is an emotional highlight that had many in the audience in tears and applauding.

In fact, I don’t remember the last time I heard so much applause in a theater. The film is an emotional rollercoaster and at the same time a natural feel-good movie. The entire cast shines, especially Saniyya Sidney as Venus and Demi Singleton as Serena. You would never know that these two girls had never played tennis until they received their roles. It’s been said that they practiced three hours a day and then exercised another two hours before filming.

They are both a wonder to behold. We cannot help cheering for them on and off the court, and yet they remain kids who know how to have fun (and tend to rebel). Just like Will Smith, they embody the roles and we cannot help but be in awe of them.

Director Reinaldo Marcus Green and writer Zach Baylin deliver the very essence of an uplifting family film. Yes, sometimes the depiction of Compton and what the family faces is harsh, but that is a part of life that should not be kept hidden in the shadows. Even though this is a fairly true story, I have tried to keep it spoiler free for the sake of enjoying the film as much as everybody in the theater did.

For those not familiar with all the history it will be an eye opener. King Richard will make you laugh, cry, and cheer with so many great lessons along the way. It is that rare film that feels fresh and entertaining without explosions, car chases, and crude humor. Here is a film that embraces the strength of family and the tenacity of never giving up on your dreams.

King Richard is currently playing in theaters (where it should be seen) and available for rent at Amazon Prime, Red Box, VOD. You can also add this one to your library…

Lowest Price – $24.96 – 4K – Amazon and $19.96 – Blu-ray – Amazon and Walmart

Build a Success Mindset

By
Richard Norton
-

I’ve often heard that there are three types of people in life. There are people that make things happen. There are people that watch things happen and then there are those that wonder what happened.

My hope for you is that you fall under the category of making things happen. Perhaps up to this point, you have not been doing that; however, today is the time to change that.

Why are some people seemingly better at achieving success than others? I believe that there are things that get in the way of people having success.

For instance, procrastination is a big one. What causes people to procrastinate? It could be a number of things like fear of failure or even fear of success. All too often, people make excuses which keep them from making things happen.

It is important to put all of that behind you and start beginning to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of those who make things happen. This will allow you to stop procrastinating and start moving forward in a positive direction in your life.

If you are ready to achieve your goals and make things happen, it’s time to start cultivating the habits that successful people have.

For example, people that make things happen are typically go-getters. They have a clear direction and plan for success. They understand that in order to achieve success, they have to go out and make it happen. Go-getters have a great deal of confidence in their abilities, and they are committed to the goal and will never give up no matter what.

Successful people also are not afraid to fail. They understand that failure is all part of the learning process, and when they fail, they don’t get down. They keep marching forward and go the extra mile.

If you really want to be the type of person that makes things happen, you have to become a doer.

The world is full of talkers who never take action. Anyone who makes things happen in life must walk the talk. While others are talking about what they’re going to do someday, you have to be the type of person who is already working on your success plan with a strong commitment.

Make sure you are using your time wisely and don’t procrastinate. Procrastination steals away your opportunities. Make every minute count. Put together a plan of success and learn not to waste time. Be productive instead of being busy.

Making it happen involves taking advantage of your opportunities. On your road to success, don’t be a lone ranger. Surround yourself with people who are going to help you achieve your goals.

Finally, the most important thing to understand is that you will have difficulties and challenges on your success journey. No matter what, never give up! When you fall, get back up. Do not engage in any pity parties. Learn from your mistakes and move on. If you ever feel like giving up, remember why you started in the first place.

Are you ready to make it happen today? It is time to build a success mindset and become a winner in life. It’s not easy but I promise you, it’s totally worth it!

Today is your day! Go out and make it happen!

Have a super fantastic week!

Thanks to the authors of this lovely animal poem.

POEM OF A DOG

I am the one who always waits for you.

Your car has a special sound that I

have imprinted on my senses, I can

recognize it among a thousand.

Your steps have a magic timbre.

Your voice is music to my ears.

If I see your joy, it makes me happy!

Your scent is the best,

Your presence is what moves my

senses.

Your awakening wakes me up.

I watch you sleep and for me you are

my God, I am happy watching over

your sleep.

Your gaze is a ray of light. Your hands

on me have the lightness of peace and

the sublime display of infinite love.

When you go out, I feel a huge

emptiness in my heart.

I wait for you again and again.

I am the one who will wait for you all

my life today, tomorrow and always:

I am your dog pastedGraphic.png

Can Green Thai Kratom Help Cure Skin Problems?

By
Guest Author
-

The majority of individuals experience problems in their skin due to the rising environmental changes and fast-paced lifestyles. They often resort to the best skincare solutions on the market to assist them in getting rid of such issues. However, most of these products are duplicates and contain chemicals that have side effects leading to severe skin damage. This is when Kratom enters the picture.

Green Thai Kratom is a well-known herb widely available on the market nowadays. Many people have learned that the green thai kratom has various advantages with minor side effects. Consequently, several companies have started to produce skincare products using Kratom as a component.

Skin Care & Kratom Goes Toe to Toe

Skin problems affect most individuals as a result of changing environmental conditions and a fast-paced lifestyle. To get rid of such issues, they usually employ the best skincare products. However, these products are synthetic and include chemicals with harmful side effects that can harm your health in several ways. This is when Kratom enters the picture.

Kratom is a popular herbal supplement found in most medicinal shops and dispensaries. Many people have realized that Green Thai Kratom has numerous advantages, including skincare. As a result, various companies have formed that regularly produce skincare products infused with kratom.

Kratom, commonly known as Mitragyna Speciosa, is a beautiful tropical tree. This medicinal tree is indigenous to Southeast Asia. Since the eighteenth century, Green Thai Kratom powder has been discovered and utilized for traditional medical reasons. Following some encouraging findings, Green Thai Kratom powder for cosmetics and other related purposes has increased to some degree.

How Does Kratom Cure Skin Problems?

Whether you want to have a smooth skin tone or keep it healthy and hydrated, kratom-infused beauty products may help you improve your skincare regimen. Kratom offers various appealing advantages, ranging from relieving inflammation and itching to erasing wrinkles and other symptoms of early aging on the face. Some of Kratom’s aesthetic benefits include:

Kratom aids in the treatment of skin irritation and inflammation. 

Many kratom users claim that kratom-infused skincare products can reduce inflammation, a pleasant addition to anyone’s beauty routine. Because of its anti-inflammatory effects, many people use Green Thai Kratom to help calm their skin. Furthermore, Kratom has been shown to alleviate acne-related inflammation.

Dry skin may be painful and irritating, especially in cold weather. Green Thai Kratom is well-known for its anti-inflammatory effects and its ability to help you achieve beautiful, healthy skin.

Kratom may help to reduce patchiness.

Another common skin problem that many individuals have is unexpected patchiness. By including Kratom into some of your cosmetic items, you may be able to eliminate color fringing. Kratom’s anti-inflammatory effects diminish rashes and promote blood flow, which aids in the reduction of skin patches. There are several ways to use Kratom to treat patchiness, including kratom-infused moisturizers and body cleansers.

Kratom helps to slow down the aging process.

One of the first signs of aging is the appearance of wrinkles on the face. Wrinkles appear due to the skin’s reaction to free radicals accumulating on the epidermis surface. Green Thai Kratom may help prevent free radicals from damaging the skin or getting unnecessary lines and wrinkles. Rhamnose is a component of kratom. The antioxidant characteristics of the plant make it ideal for treating and preventing wrinkles in common areas. Experts say that sugar has been responsible for reducing the appearance of withering and keeping the skin looking young. The results do not come overnight. But instead, they come gradually. The Thai Kratom strain has mood-boosting, energizing, and anti-aging properties that will leave your skin shining.

Kratom prevents greasy skin.

An individual’s face may appear oily and sticky when it is exposed to sunlight. Although an oily face is not dangerous to your health, it may hurt your entire look. Green Thai Kratom inhibits fats and oils from being stored in the body. This ensures that you only have usable oils and none in excess.

Consequently, you have beautiful, nourished skin that isn’t caked in oil. Using Green Thai Kratom increases blood flow to the skin, ensuring that it is always healthy and appealing.

Kratom helps to balance out skin tone.

It is usual for people to desire a skin tone that is smooth and even. Green Thai Kratom is a natural herb that can help you get a more even tone by nourishing skin tissues and removing dead skin cells. Green Thai Kratom may be easily included in your beauty regimen by using cleansers and sugar treatments having kratom infused to them. You can quickly recover your healthy skin tone by using kratom-based products.

Green Thai Kratom attacks the bacteria causing acne called Propionibacterium that produce pimples on the skin. The claim is supported by scientific evidence. The compounds in the plant help to prevent the growth of acne-causing bacteria.

Research was done to explore the advantages of Green Thai Kratom leaf extract against certain bacteria.

Conclusion

Everyone wants to appear attractive, regardless of age or gender. While people pore through publications and search the internet for the best and most effective skincare products, Green Thai Kratom is promising and widely available. By including Kratom into your skincare regimen, you will undoubtedly significantly influence your skin and overall appearance!

It’s admirable that you want to update and enhance your existing skincare regimen, mainly as you grow older. This article can work as a green kratom strain guide for curing skin problems.

Kratom is set to dominate the health and beauty business because of its multiple advantages and expanding popularity, particularly as research continues to uncover how it affects the body inside and out. As a result, you can anticipate Kratom becoming a go-to source for cures for certain skin disorders and an active component in skincare and cosmetic products.

MJ LIVE, formerly at The Strat, opened at “The Trop” Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago and I went to the media night, this being my sixth time. It recreates the electrifying stage show of one of the greatest performers of all time. Great stage, acclaimed songs, wonderful performers, and easy to get to. 

From iconic dance moves like the moonwalk to timeless hits like “Bad,” “Billie Jean,” “Thriller” and “Beat It,” the spot-on show brings all the Gloved One’s staples to life. Sing along during the special Jackson 5 segment featuring classics like “I’ll Be There,” “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” and more, inspired by Soul Train. Marvelous lighting and effects, and giant big screen tv’s on either side of the stage. The MJ LIVE dancers and a live band make this show a true spectacular fitting of the King of Pop.

MJ LIVE is the #1 Michael Jackson tribute show in the world, showcasing the energy, excitement, spectacle and pure joy of this legendary superstar and his music. This fantastic stage production with its powerful sound, spectacular lighting, visual effects, team of dancers and live band on stage takes audiences back to when the King of Pop ruled the charts — along with the Michael Jackson tribute artist’s spot-on, breathtaking impersonations, performed by rotating impersonators.

 MJ LIVE is produced by Darin Feinstein and entertainment veteran Dick Feeney (TRP Entertainment) both well known all over the Las Vegas area.

If you are interested in learning more about this plant, keep reading to find out how to use it instead. This blog article will know each of these benefits to see if kratom is a good option for your needs.

What Are Kratom Leaves?

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. Since ancient times, many different peoples worldwide have used the tree’s leaves as herbal medicine and stimulants. The leaves are traditionally chewed fresh in small doses in Thailand to increase energy and curb fatigue.

The active compounds in kratom leaves contain mitragynine and 7-hydroxy mitragynine. These two compounds give kratom its potent effects, but it’s also possible that some other unidentified alkaloids may also play a role in kratom’s effects.

The leaves help make a tea, extract, or powder, which you can consume as a stimulant with psychoactive effects. These effects include euphoria, increased energy, higher motivation, and better mental focus. You can consume kratom as an opiate substitute for those addicted to prescription painkillers or heroin.

People consume Kratom leaves to stay alert and relieve chronic pain. These leaves are a natural stimulant that helps fight fatigue and depression. The psychoactive effects of kratom make it a party drug, as it inspires mental clarity and euphoria when taken in large doses.

The leaves are usually boiled, dried, and then crushed or ground. Its effects on the body vary from person to person, but many say it’s helpful for opiate withdrawals and other types of pain.

6 Things You Can Gain From Kratom Leaves

Kratom leaves have become a popular supplement in the United States. These leaves extract has been a natural analgesic since ancient times.

It is not just a ‘legal high’ but also a potent pain reliever. The alkaloids of kratom leaves are considered safe, and they do not contain any toxic substances.

So, let’s check out in-depth what you can gain or the medical benefits that you can enjoy from these leaves:

1. Manage Your Anxiety And Depression

Kratom is a plant that can help with anxiety, depression, and other cognitive disorders. One of the most important ways it helps is by reducing withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms are caused by the brain flooding your system with opioids and alcohol, but kratom works to help you overcome that. It also blocks the brain receptors for serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine (among others). It works because of the mnemonic.

2. Enhance Your Mood

It’s an herb that helps in fighting mood swings. It helps to fight depression alongside other methods like conventional antidepressants. It induces relaxation and helps remove anxiety, which is the biggest reason for depression, and it also stimulates the brain cells, which aids in overcoming depression. For some people, kratom can be a mood booster, and for many in Thailand, it is an energy booster. 

3. Deal With Your Pain Easily

You can use kratom as a pain reliever, not to get high but because it has several benefits. These include opening the blood vessels and easing pain in the joints. It acts on the brain and nervous system like those drugs, causing users to feel euphoria, calmness, and decreased pain. It is trendy among people who suffer injuries during their work, such as bikers, dancers, or skiers.

4. Treat Your Opioid Addiction

Like all addicts, you’ve probably tried several other medications and supplements to get your opiate cravings under control. Kratom seems to have the most effects on this addiction, but it needs to be taken daily for at least six months to work. It helps bind with serotonin receptors in the brain, preventing behavioral changes caused by opiates. It means that kratom will not affect your mood or ability to feel pleasure while using it.

5. Help With Your Fatigue

These leaves are a natural supplement known to help with fatigue, a set of symptoms linked to depression and general exhaustion. It has now become a trendy way to help with fatigue. However, you can use them for many different factors, including lack of sleep, overconsumption of alcohol, lack of exercise, and even overeating junk food! that is otherwise known as “being tired all the time” or “hangover-like tiredness .”

6. Make You Feel Relaxed

Kratom leaves are very small, usually less than an inch long. They are also cut into smaller pieces which you can consume in capsule form. When consumed, the two alkaloids present in kratom leaves are mitragynine and 7-hydroxy mitragynine, or 7-HMG for short. These alkaloids can activate specific receptors in the central nervous system of the human body. It starts particular signals that stimulate dopamine and serotonin release within your brain. It makes it possible for you to feel energized and relaxed simultaneously or normal after a rough day at work.

Conclusion

Kratom is a medicinal herb from Southeast Asia that people use traditionally as an herbal pain reliever, mood enhancer, and energy booster. 

The plant’s leaves help combat diarrhea and are a general detoxifier for people suffering from chronic diseases. These leaves can be chewed or brewed into a tea which can provide a range of health benefits.

They are “clean,” meaning they don’t cause the same effects as natural substances. On the other hand, people use kratom leaves for various reasons, including pain relief and relieving withdrawal symptoms. In addition, kratom helps to fight fatigue by increasing energy levels.

The benefits of kratom leaves are endless. However, the question remains: What can you gain from using kratom leaves? While there are no definite answers to that question, it’s easy to see why people consume it.
