Ri Ra Irish Pub – Las Vegas

By Leave a Comment

When meeting up with friends you want a restaurant that is enjoyable to sit in and the wait staff is friendly. That is exactly what we got at the Ri Ra Irish Pub when visiting in August of 2020.

Ri Ra Irish Pub Food

Ri Ra Irish Pub - A great place to eat with good food, good service, and AMAZING dessert.

When ordering my dinner, I decided to go with a classic. Check out their full menu for other great choices. I went with the Shepards Pie, which was a delectable loaf of potato and meat stew goodness. It was perfectly seasoned with lamb, peas, carrots, and of course the mashed potatoes.

Feeling a little indulgent, my friend and I to order and split a Whiskey Caramel Bread Pudding dessert. The dessert was sweet, warm, and an amazing way to finish off our meal. I am so glad we took the advice offered and decided to order it.

If you want this dessert, you really need to order it before you start eating your meal. It takes around 45 minutes to cook and be delivered to the table, so this is no last minute dessert option. You won’t be disappointed when you decide to get it.

Enjoyments of the Experience

When meeting up with friends you want a restaurant that is enjoyable to sit in and the wait staff is friendly. That is exactly what we got at the Ri Ra Irish Pub when visiting in August of 2020.

Anytime I’m visiting a new restaurant I want to ensure I understand the menu. Our wait staff was friendly, made suggestions, and offered what I felt were valid opinions on our food.

The great advice really made the overall experience at the Ri Ra Irish pub even more enjoyable.

Things to Improve

The restaurant itself is laid out a little odd, or maybe that’s where our table was. Due to COVID restrictions, we ended up at a huge table. However, this worked for us since we were really brainstorming, and having the extra table space came in handy.

Restaurant Conclusion

Overall, I would recommend you try out the Ri Ra Irish Pub. The food was great, the wait staff attentive, and the vibe was one of old-time comfort.

Looking for some other activities in Las Vegas:

Renowned Advice for Solo Traveling to Help you Get Away and Recharge

By Leave a Comment

People don’t always understand my husband and I because we vacation frequently without each other. One of my favorite quotes by Jason is about us and our relationship is “We live together and work together, so we vacation separately.” Now that isn’t always true, we do take some vacations together like our trip this past fall to Hawaii. However, we do a fair deal of solo traveling.

Things to Consider: Solo Traveling

There are many things you need to consider when you are solo traveling. Many of the items are the same as if you are traveling with your family, but there are some unique differences. After all, if you want to change your mind while solo traveling there’s no one to argue with you.

Solo Traveling Destination

Chose a destination for solo traveling with lots of activities to choose from. One of my favorite places to go is the state of Florida, and there is an endless supply of fun down there. Jason; he prefers to solo travel to Las Vegas. You should consider what is drawing you to the vacation spot you are picking out so you can truly take advantage and see all the things that will enhance the experience.

There are many travel destinations that seem to be made just for the solo traveler. Check out this Bucketlist.

Safety

Now I like to post pictures on social media of where we are and what we are doing. But I don’t post photos of where we stay or are staying until after we’ve been there. Safety is a real concern, and keeping your haven safe is a priority. Don’t tell people where you are staying, if asked about it keep your answers vague.

Technology

To really relax and recharge limit your technology usage. I’m not saying throw it all away when you are solo traveling, but truly take time to appreciate where you are. One of my favorite memories of a recent trip to Florida was driving across the state and seeing cows in pastures with Palm Trees. I’m from Wisconsin and this sight cracked me up.

Don’t get so caught up in capturing the moments, that you forget to live in them. ENJOY your vacation. This is how you relax and rejuvenate your soul.
