Simon Cowell is famous for many things these days but mainly famous for his role as the Judge that you love but some hate on TV’s very popular and very watched American Idol. Cowell is also one of the people that is hugely responsible for the success of the “The X Factor” which is a very popular singing competition in the UK.

Simons next move is to bring the X factor to American TV and give it a go in Las Vegas. He said “ how alluring would it be to let participants know, you have made it on to perform in Las Vegas!!”. Critics are saying that this may in fact be a great move and steer the other competing show “Americas Got Talent” into forms of talent that are other than singing.

Talks have begun to see if this will actually hold true and come forth to reality. In the meantime those winners from Americas Got talent have also made it to Las Vegas but in a different way.

There are quite a few delicious restaurants that one can visit when visiting the city of Las Vegas. But there is one that be just discovered and it is actually a newly re-opened venue that many should check out if they are sushi lovers or enjoy other varieties of Japanese fusion cuisine!

The restaurant is called Khotan and the menu offers so much selection that there will definitely be something for everyone as long as the Japanese flavours are something up your alley. The fish used to make the sushi is ultra fresh and almost everything on the menu just melts in your mouth!

The staff there is very friendly and the chef is very accommodate if you mention likes, dislikes and any allergies that you may have. There are list of favourites that the waiters recommend for everyone to enjoy or at least sample.

Our favourites include but surely aren’t limited to, mini Kobe beef burgers that simply melt in your mouth. They are served in three delicious bites and topped with lovely sauces on yummy egg bread. The next favourite is the jalapeño yellow tail which literally melts in your mouth as well and will leave you wanting another portion!

The portion sizes are small so if you are sharing its a good idea to order two or more options per person. There will be a little for about four people to try and you will enjoy every bit of it. The restaurant is in the Treasure Island hotel and is only open several nights per week so remember to call ahead and make a reservation!

While the idea of the CityCenter seemed exciting and great for the first few years of planning and even more so when the project first broke ground. The question that many are asking themselves and other sources now is, Can Vegas handle the CityCenter? Unfortunately the scary answer to some of the questions is actually no!

The CityCenter that is yet to be completed sits on a total of 76 acres of land making it the biggest developed building combined project in the US. The hotel and residences is really all a small city but on a strip with so much going on already and the market would really have to be at its complete peak in order to occupy all the rooms that this hotel actually has available.

The problem lies almost any direction that one would look. The project has already cost millions and millions and millions of dollars. There deadline for completion is only weeks away if they are still aiming for a December opening and they are knee high in debt from start to finish.

Projects like this one rely heavily on the economy in question and until it changes for the better and stays so for quite some time it will be interesting to see what the owners of this one will do to recoup their losses and try to move forward. In the meantime, it is sure to be a beauty once it is completed so if you are planning a trip to Vegas in the beginning of next year be sure to check it out!
