I went for sushi a few months ago to a new place. The plate was so pretty that I had to take a pic and post it on my facebook page. When I get home, I'll see if I can post it here.

I'm seriously considering a trip to Vegas sometime this year....if I go I want to know the best sushi in town, TOA. And I'll blame you if it doesn't live up to my expectations! LOL

You know it is a major misconception that all sushi is raw fish. Much of it is cooked. Sushi refers to the rice preparation with which the fish is served. If it is just fish, without the rice, then it is Sashimi. Just off the top of my head, the shrimp, lobster, eel, some egg.....are cooked.....oh and some of the salmon is smoked.

Anyway, there are plenty of Sushi options that aren't "raw fish". Of course some of the very best ones are!

Then that doesn't sound too bad and I'd be willing to try it. Actually I do remember trying one once. A coworker made some..with the rice and tuna and a dab of wasabi. It was pretty good. So maybe it's just the sashimi I would have a problem with.

In Vegas try Brian's Beach. Fort Apache and Flamingo, I believe. South/West corner. They have all you can eat sushi for $27.00. Not the most expensive but very good for the price. I go there every time I am in Vegas, after living in Vegas for 8 years.
