From the Cheeseburger website--

It's been a tough day-sitting under a palm tree o the beach can wear you out. You deserve a break. So you find a joint with a knock-out view of the technicolor sunset on the ocean. You stroll in an order a great big gooey cheesburger. Your favorite rock-n-roll songs play one after another, putting you in an Island State of Mind. The bamboo walls are covered with playful tiki-hut knick-knacks. You banter with your waitress, and she throws some good-natured sass back at you. All the while you're sipping a tall, tropical drink festooned with a colorful umbrella. "Live well, this life," you think as you sink your teeth into a 5-napkin cheeseburger.

Congratulations, you're in CHEESEBURGERLAND!

Crazy Shirts

Phone: 702.893.7780
Address: 3663 Las Vegas Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89109

Notes: Located at the Miracle Mile Shops in the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino

Since the early 60's, Crazy Shirts has seen the islands change from sleepy to sleek, to isolated and up-to-date. Our little company has grown from one grass shack in Waikiki to a diverse group of 41 unique shops that span the globe. You can find our original T-shirts in your favorite vacation getaways from Guam to Florida, in our catalog store and on the World Wide Web.

What a crazy journey it has been! Back in 1964, teenagers were a powerful force as baby boomers moved into their college years. "Bikini Beach Party" starring Annette Funicello played in movie theaters. Waikiki Beach Boys taught surfing to tourists who were staying in the newly opened Outrigger Island and the famous Ilikai hotels. The Waikiki Shell hosted another "Surf Battle" concert with 10,000 screaming teens and an impressive list of bands. And surfing was riding a wave of popularity.

In 1964, Waikiki's entertainment hub was International Market Place where the first Crazy Shirts shop was born. T-shirts with a message sold. Some were silly ("Suck 'em Up!"), some were logos ("Surfboards Hawaii"), and some were controversial ("Draft Beer Not Students"). Timing is everything and Crazy Shirts was an instant success.

Like the sport of surfing, the popularity of Crazy Shirts has increased over the years. In the early 70's, our shirts became available by mail order and offered shipping from Hawaii via airmail for an extra 35 cents. Full-page color ads appeared in national magazines like 'Surfing' and featured Hawaii guys and girls wearing our most popular designs.

More than just a summer fad, Crazy Shirts has ridden the wave of success for over 40 years. We continue to honor our island roots as we reach out to new markets around the world. Today you'll still find our flagship store anchoring International Market Place. We're making new friends everywhere we go whether it's in Hawaii, Guam, or across the Mainland in Las Vegas, California, South Carolina or Florida.

The decades may have passed, but our quest for quality has never changed. Famous for original designs and the warm spirit of aloha, Crazy Shirts keeps making new friends year after year. Our eagerness to explore innovative new dye processes have kept our company ahead of the wave while our loyal customers keep us looking toward the future. We're proud to produce T-shirts and casual wear with aloha. It's not just fashion - it's a cool way of life.

A Simpler Time

Phone: 702.796.1210

Notes: Located at the Miracle Mile Shops in the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino

A Simpler Time started in the nation's largest shopping mall, the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, in 1997, with the idea of giving shoppers an island of nostalgic tranquility in a modern sea of Gaps, Banana Rebublics and Limiteds.

Our store was about nostalgia, but more than that it was about growing up in an age of innocence. Watching an otherwise somber businessman smile as he plays with a replica tin Roy Roger toy or listens to Glenn Miller on a replica turntable is a reward we get each and every day.

From Zefferino's--

Zeffirino's glorious history starts in 1939, when Zeffirino Belloni first opened his family restaurant in Genova, the capital city of the Italian Riviera. Nine years later, his ten-year-old son stepped into the kitchen of this family restaurant and found the he, like his father, had also been blessed with the God-given gift of creating culinary ecstasy.

The Zeffirino family's epicurean talent has remained constant for four generations and five decades, and today, Zeffirino's son Gian Paolo along with extended family continue the delectable family tradition of mesmerizing diners with their special cuisine in Italy, Spain, China and the USA. Maestro di Cucina Cavaliere, Gian Paolo's culinary awards are endless and include an Escoffier Award considered the highest international gastronomic award and the European Golden Medal. He was also formally appointed Ambassador of Genovese and Italian Cuisine to the world.

His food has dazzled international celebrities who can eat anywhere they choose and choose to eat at Zeffirino.

Amongst them are famous tenor Luciano Pavarotti who sang for Gian Paolo's pesto, boxing greats Muhammad Ali, Italian actress, Sophia Loren, a sophisticated fan and fancier of Genovese foods, The Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra, whose mother came from Genova and cooked similar Pesto in her Hoboken home, and the late, great Pope John Paul II, who declared Gian Paolo "The Pope's Pesto Maker."

Tintoretto Bakery

Phone: 702.414.3777
Address: 3377 Las Vegas Blvd. So. Las Vegas, NV 89109

Notes: Located at the Grand Canal Shoppes

From The Las Vegas Sun--

Named for Tintoretto, a 16th-century Italian artist, the new Tintoretto bakery and cafe at the Canal Shoppes at the Venetian is already making its mark.

Open just one week this "international bakery with an Italian accent" is much more.

I arrived at 7:30 a.m. (Tintoretto opens at 8 a.m.) so that I could view the bakery cases before the early morning rush depleted them. Standing outside, looking in through the open doors was a reminder of the many similar cafes I've enjoyed in Italy. Not surprising since everything from the shutters on the windows to the tiles on the floors was crafted in Italy. The rich wood and glass showcases are other beautiful examples of fine Italian craftsmanship.

"We're not yet recovered from yesterday's run on the pastry selection," said Corporate Pastry Chef Francesco Santora. He is the third generation of Santora pastry masters. Tintoretto is part of the Five Star Restaurants group that also owns the adjacent Zeffirino Italian restaurant, Pizzeria de Enzo in the food court on the casino level and the commissary/bakery, where much of the prep work is done for both.

Santora was referring to the fact that very few pastries were on display. Instead, there was a remarkable selection of cookies (biscotti) of every description, as well as a gorgeous selection of crusty breads and rolls. The pastry selection usually includes: Napoleons, eclairs, custard-filled cream puffs, cannoli, Sacher torte, tiramisu, exotic fruit tarts, chocolate mousse and fruit mousses, apple cheesecake and much more.

Mini-size pastries are sold by the pound ($12.50). All of the cookies are sold by the pound (from $13.50). At least 40 varieties are available every day. It's not my usual habit to have cookies for breakfast, but I did taste a scrumptious biscottino marzapane al caffe. This complex mouthful was made of coffee-flavored marzipan atop a tiny pecan Florentine cookie. I also tasted the tiramisu. It's a close match to the classic, only lighter in taste (not calories).

Tintoretto considers itself an international bakery, so don't be too surprised to find hamentashen and rugelach and Black Forest cake and Sacher torte among the specialties.

All of the baked goods are available to eat in or take out. According to Santora, one of the most popular pastries is the individual apple-topped, New York-style cheesecake.

At the back of the bakery there is a small dining section, or dine outside on the attractive patio that joins Tintoretto and Seffirino's.

At breakfast there are omelettes ($3.95-$6.95), fried eggs served with potatoes, and sides of bacon, sausage or fried potatoes ($2). All egg dishes include the freshly-baked breads.

Lattes, espresso, cappuccino, orange juice and other beverages are offered. Breakfast hours are 8-11 a.m.

The all-day menu is in effect from noon-11:30 p.m. featuring salads ($6.95-$9.95), pasta ($7.95-$8.95), panini -- Italian sandwiches ($7.50-$9.95) and pizzas and focaccia ($7.95-$10.95).

A small selection of wines is offered by the glass ($4-$5) or bottle ($16-$20).

Santora will soon be baking a number of Easter specialties, including: a wheat pie created by the master that has a soft barley filling; "mostaccioli rococo," very ornate cookies dating back centuries; honey biscuits; panne de Pasquada; and other Easter classics. Call Tintoretto for additional information.

Tintoretto has a good selection of pasta, coffee beans, candies and gift items. The peach, pear and apricot nectars by Yoga sold in six-packs are sublime. There's a whole wall devoted to foodstuff and gifts. A terrific small gift is the black and white dice box filled with three cookies ($2.50). Pastora makes beautiful baskets of flavored nougat. One of these edible baskets filled with cookies or chocolate-coated truffles would please any sweet tooth.

An elegant bar at the entrance serves aperitifs, beer and wine, cordials, espresso and granita (flavored ices.)

I lost the battle trying to resist the many tempters and finished my tasting at home. Don't miss the raisin bread. I can't wait to make French toast from this tasty loaf.
