Thanks for covering so much in a reasonable amount of time!

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

No worries!

[@marylynnhusar3417]

Love it. Can't wait for more.

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Thanks Mary Lynn. I'll keep em coming as long as I can afford to go to Vegas so much. Lol

[@sweetlifehappywife3460]

DON!! 🎉You are always SPOT ON with the recommendations & reviews. We agreed with everything you said. Especially on Sinatra. We went there hoping for a wonderful special anniversary meal in Feb. VERY disappointed with the snobby attitudes of the staff. At least they offered you cheese on your lasagna. They didn’t for me. 🤔 Cuz it needed it! Uncomfortable seats. Had to switch tables. I wrote the manager on how upsetting it was for our special meal out. No response. 😡🤯 The only place we haven’t tried on your list here is LAVO so that will be our anniversary meal on our Feb 2024 trip. Thank you for your honesty & making such useful content. God Bless! ❤

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Thank you. Lavo is great. Is beautiful inside. It's very dark in there, so it will make a nice romantic anniversary. Oddly enough, Maggianos across the street in the Fashion Show Mall is outstanding, and they have very reasonable prices.

Hey Don. Loved this vlog, you are such a card. Heather certainly must never be bored being with you. 😂❤

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Yes. She is always amused. At least I think she is. Lol. She says, " Oh Donald" a lot while shaking her head.

[@quike221]

What a great selection of restaurants! You guys are doing great with this content too, Love it! Great video! Much love!

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Thank you my friend. I'm glad people are enjoying the content.

[@robinz6707]

Went to Scarpetta based on your review and it was one of the best meals we had in Vegas and you can’t beat the view. Very helpful great videos

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Great to hear! Love that place.

[@rickgilliland2066]

I really enjoyed your video. I have been to several of these restaurants, and I love all of them! Can I suggest you try the Bone-in Veal Parmigiana at Sinatra's? It is soooo good! Also, Buddy V's Chicken Parm is hands down the best I've ever had. God bless. Rick

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

I like your recommendations. Buddy V's has been on our list for a while now. We will have to make it happen soon.

[@sdgolf100]

Hey Don -- Great video, really enjoyed it! Just the right amount of humor, common sense, and well-deserved jabs. Looking forward to more. Good luck with the Steak series, I think you could highlight 25 good spots and still get criticized for leaving somebody out. And no, you look nothing like Don Knotts. Unless...you don't happen to carry a single bullet in your breast pocket, do you?

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Thanks, Scott. In these days, 1 bullet for emergencies probably wouldn't be too practical. Lol.

[@tripp540]

i would have left 1.00 and said "of course that's what you wanted"

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Yes I should have.

[@Kimberontario]

Thanks for this, we are on a budget and really appreciate getting an idea of cost at restaurants that are worth the cost.

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

I would say scarpetta was the best bang for the buck out of these Italian places.

[@robertsmith-zz7ot]

If you want excellent italian that's easier on the wallet, As a Vegas local I suggest Nora's on West Flamingo.

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

I will have to give Nora's a try. Thanks for the tip.

[@mexifrida]

Super helpful! Will be making a reservation for Scarpetta and look forward to trying a few others. Love these best of videos.

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Thanks for watching.

[@luckislonggone9941]

Love the video, got to try Scarpetta! Yes, you sound like Don knotts! lol

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Scarpetta is one of my favorites.

[@JRSLASH]

I also have the same feelings about Wynn service. Barrys Downtown Prime has the best service in my opinion

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Oh ya. BARRYS was so good and the service was great.

[@Nae2369]

Seating a party that large, I'd of left or requested to be moved. Too much movement, talking, hair flicking, and all types of particles. No thanks

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Believe me, it was worse than what you can see on the video.

[@franklapinski1178]

Just joined your channel Loves the Italian rest video I Will try the one at the cosmopolitan when I visit I. Sept you should try compost and Maggianos a the fashion show mall

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

We have been to Maggianos, and love it. Glad to see you shindig and thanks for watching. We have more to come and we are going back on August.

[@carolinenewsted1571]

We didn’t enjoy the first place either

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Right? It wasn't bad, but it was just ok. I expected more. Beautiful setting, though.

[@baldeagle4710]

Is Scarpetta good for taking a date? I can never get a reservation at Carbone

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

I would say yes. I personally like it much more than Carbone.

[@patpassi2730]

I can’t believe what they charge for spaghetti and meatballs 😮 Being Italian/American and cooking all the time, I have to say….what a rip off 😂 ridiculous

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Everything is expensive in Vegas.
