A review is offered for the é restaurant located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The article focuses on Senator and Democratic majority leader Harry Reid, who holds the key to victory of President Barack Obama in Nevada. Reid has built a political machine which has helped Obama win in 2008 and praised by the Republicans as one of the most effective voter-organizing organizations. However, Reid's organization which is the reason Obama won narrowly in Nevada will be facing it biggest test because a sizable population of voters in the state are Mormons like Mitt Romney.

CORRECTION APPENDED LAS VEGAS -- It rises two miles from the flash and hustle of the Strip: a swirl of Italian marble, Indiana limestone, Venetian marble and zebrawood, topped by a 16-story campanile with 47 bronze bells. There is an acoustically tuned stage designed for orchestras and Broadway shows, a warren of grand chambers with inlaid wood and sweeping desert views, and Art Deco touches meant to recall the last ambitious engineering feat in the Nevada desert -- the Hoover Dam. When the Smith Center for the Performing Arts opened in Las Vegas in March, Jennifer Hudson was on the program and Neil Patrick Harris was the master of ceremonies. But it was Joshua Bell, the classical violinist, who drew the most applause from the homegrown audience, cheering what seemed a moment of arrival for a city whose cultural association is more likely to be Liberace than Liszt.

LAS VEGAS BLUE RIBBON SUSHI opened in a basement on Sullivan Street in SoHo more than 15 years ago. It took no reservations and there were always people waiting on the stoop to get into what was then a little known and adventurous cubbyhole of a restaurant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

LAS VEGAS -- For Vegas die-hards bored with the $750 tasting menu at Guy Savoy, the $250 Elton John tickets at Caesars or the $200,000 baccarat bet at the Bellagio, this city is serving up a new way to find high-priced thrills. Machine Guns Vegas -- an upscale indoor shooting range complete with skimpily dressed gun-toting hostesses -- opened last week a half-mile from the Strip with an armory of weapons and a promise to fulfill the desires of anyone wanting to fire off an Uzi or a vintage Thompson submachine gun. With its provocative mix of violent fantasy (think blowing holes through an Osama bin Laden target with an AK-47) and sexual allure, it is the latest example of how the extravagances and excesses that have defined Las Vegas are moving beyond the gambling table.

LAS VEGAS -- When Mitt Romney won the Republican presidential caucuses in Nevada four year ago, this was a different state, and the Republican Party was a different party. The Nevada economy was in trouble, but it had not reached the depths that were soon to come: The unemployment rate was 5.5 percent when Republicans gathered to vote in January 2008; it is 13 percent today, the highest in the nation. The optimism and political spirit that enlivened Nevadans as they found themselves at ground zero in the fight for the White House have been replaced with gloom and apathy. Voters speak of abandoned homes, dispiriting battles in Washington and disappointment with President Obama. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

LAS VEGAS -- For much of the presidential election of 2008, Barack Obama's campaign was Emma Guerrero's life. She was one of a dozen volunteers who showed up at an Obama campaign office here every night, taking time from her studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to be part of what she still remembers as the most exciting period of her life. It was largely because of Ms. Guerrero -- and hundreds of other college students like her across the country -- that Mr. Obama assembled a formidable machine that helped him roll to victory in 2008, a triumph that included putting Nevada into the Democratic column for the first time in 12 years.

LAS VEGAS -- In a sea of rifles, handguns, knives and ammunition, thousands of gun enthusiasts gathered here Wednesday for the annual Shot Show, the nation's largest gun trade show, where the convention's sponsors decried gun laws and said there was something else to blame for the Jan. 8 deadly shooting rampage in Tucson: the mental health system. The Shot Show sponsors as well as several exhibitors and others attending the sprawling event rejected suggestions of a connection between the attack and gun control legislation. Instead, they questioned why people around the man accused of the shootings, Jared L. Loughner -- his parents, friends, teachers and the police -- had not alerted mental health authorities about his apparent mental decline before the rampage that left 6 people dead and 13 injured.

LAS VEGAS -- The notice on the door to the hotel-casino was emphatic. ''The Westin Casuarina is a Smoke Free Environment. Thank you for not smoking.'' Just beyond, four people were hunched over slot machines the other afternoon, wisps of cigarette smoke swirling around them as they happily puffed away. And it was perfectly legal. ''This is good,'' said Ray Wan, a flight attendant from Hawaii, lighting up a cigarette as the slot machine beeped and whirled before him. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

SEARCHLIGHT, Nev. -- This shrinking town in the desert has endured its indignities over the years. It has been referred to as a ghost town, a description that galls the 800 or so people who still call it home. It was once famous for its brothels, a reputation that, though hard to quarrel with, is not exactly something to brag about. But now it has come to this. Its most famous resident, Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader -- whose house is visible from the road, who has a school and a street named after him, who can be spotted eating lunch at the smoky Searchlight Nugget Casino -- has become the symbol of a potential Democratic collapse in Washington, as polarizing a figure as exists in American politics. This has put Searchlight, with its Joshua trees, scrub brush, abandoned gold mines, coyotes, rattlesnakes and trailer parks, on the map. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

LAS VEGAS -- The debate Thursday evening between Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader, and Sharron Angle, the Republican running with Tea Party support, had been promoted as a climactic duel between two opponents for a Nevada Senate seat, locked in an exceedingly tight contest in what may well be the most closely watched race of the fall. What viewers saw here was a vivid contrast of philosophy between two competing forces in American politics this election cycle: Mr. Reid, the face of the Democratic establishment and champion of President Obama's policies, and Ms. Angle, the hero of the Tea Party. They offered fundamentally different visions of the role of government in dealing with issues including health care, regulating banks and the insurance industry, and using government programs to create jobs.

LAS VEGAS -- Senator Harry Reid of Nevada first thought he could scrape his way to re-election by invoking his power as majority leader and reminding voters what that means for his home state. When that didn't seem to work, he thought he could pull out this election with a scorched-earth campaign aimed at his Republican opponent, Sharron Angle, a Tea Party candidate with a rich history of unorthodox statements and politically unpopular positions. ''Sharron Angle: ideas so extreme they are dangerous,'' an announcer says in a ubiquitous new Reid television advertisement that focuses on Ms. Angle's vote in the State Assembly against legislation requiring checks on volunteers working with schoolchildren. Former President Bill Clinton, appearing with Mr. Reid at a high school Tuesday night, said, ''For the future of Nevada, for the jobs you so desperately need, it would be unbelievably negligent to say, 'I know you're right, but I'm just too mad, I've got to vote for this woman.' '' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2:27 p.m. Updated Sharron Angle, the Republican challenging Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, raised $14 million from July 1 to Sept. 30, a staggering figure that should give her more than enough money for the final weeks of this tight race. The fund-raising figure is the latest evidence of the ability of the Tea Party movement to generate huge waves of cash for a favorite candidate. The fund-raising haul reflects how the effort to remove Mr. Reid, the Senate majority leader, has energized the Tea Party movement, at least nationally. Ms Angle's aides did not immediately release how much of the money came from out of state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

LAS VEGAS -- Bill Holt was gawking. At the room filled with ornate antique pianos, among them a Baldwin grand glistening with a coat of rhinestones that was Liberace's favorite. At a 1962 Phantom V Landau Rolls-Royce, covered in mirrors, that looked like a disco ball on wheels. At Liberace's collection of candelabras, rings, capes and boots. At, in short, the paraphernalia of a onetime star of the Strip who appears to have become a symbol of an era that is not only past, but forgotten, too. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The article reports on the shift in political strategy of U.S. 2008 presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. Romney left South Carolina to focus on the Republican caucus of Nevada. It mentions that, Romney regard the move as a way to build on his victory in Michigan primary, and it signals his estimation that he probably could not win in South Carolina. Nevada presents a particular opportunity to Romney as he is a Mormon, member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

LAS VEGAS -- Mitt Romney came under intensive attack from his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination at a debate here Tuesday night, with a newly assertive Rick Perry leading a sometimes personal barrage against him on conservative consistency, health care policy and even the immigration status of yard workers at his home. It was the most acrimonious debate so far this year. Marked by raised voices, accusations of lying and acerbic and personal asides, it signaled the start of a tough new phase of the primary campaign a little more than two months before the first votes are cast.
