Tickets bought online are only $8 general admission, and at the gate it's $10 and you can use it for the whole weekend Oct. 18-20 2013. Friday open at 4pm-midnight, Saturday and Sunday 12pm-12am, held at Silverton Casino on Dean Martin and Blue Diamond. Presented by Red Dragon. They also have some rides and carnival games. Most of the vendors were food trucks most of them are stationed in Vegas and a few were based in California.
All the vendors: http://lasvegasfoodiefest.com/?page_id=199
People were going crazy for the White Castle truck because we don't have it here in Vegas. I wanted to try out Buttermilk, Fuku Burger, Bacon Mania, and White Rabbit but we were too full.
POTATO CORNER: Originally from the Philippines. Basically flavored french fries like sour cream, cheese, bbq, chili bbq, cinnamon & sugar, and garlic & parmesan. Small (Jumbo), Medium (Mega), Large (Giga). They also have sweet potato fries, loopy fries, tater tots, jojo chips,  baked potato and chicken strips. [ http://potatocornerusa.com/]

Wa da pho: Asian Fusion- from Vegas [www.wadapho.com]
Some of the food on the menu.

This was a pho-licious Q taco: Beef brisket with cilantro, onions, tomatoes, and some special sauce; bit spicy but it was bearable for a person who doesn't really like spicy food. Delicious!
Dragon Grille: from Vegas [www.dragongrille.com]

1. Pick small/large 2. choice of meat 3. choose a sauce  4. Steamed rice, sesame seeds, and cilantro included
We ordered a beef brisket with korean galbi q sauce. It was full of flavor but it wasn't too overwhelming, loved it!

Fluff Ice: from California [http://www.fluffice.com/#/ABOUT-US-02-03/]
Pick a "fluff" flavor and pick what goes on it
"fluff"- basically ice cream but shredded, so it's really lightweight, fluffy texture.
I got a Coffee fluff with oreos and mochi.
It was okay I prefer Kuma Snow Cream [http://www.kumasnowcream.com/]- in Vegas located at Valley View and Spring Mtn.

7 things to know about shopping

  1. Have a list of things that you need/want to buy, and have a budget! Have your priorities, can wait, and buy later. You will feel better having self-control even if you have lots of money to spend and most of the time you will not regret spending less money! Having self-control is one way to discipline yourself and your wallet.
  2. If you're in doubt..most likely your purchase will be an okay purchase which tends to be the items that you don't really reach for because you don't love it. If it's a really expensive item I would just wait it out and think about it. You should find yourself asking Do I need this? Do I need to buy it right now? Is it worth it? Do I really like it? Would I be using this a lot? etc.
  3. Beware of sales racks and discounts! Most of the ads really lure people to buy things because of the "money that you save". Don't get me wrong, I love sales! But sometimes we tend to go crazy for the things we don't need because it's really cheap! Sales are ALWAYS there all year round but if you really want something, go with your intuition! Well think about this, Would you buy it even though it was full price?
  4. Try it on! Try the clothes/shoes/ accessories too! Some you think looks good on the rack might not look as good on you because of the fitting or the size or you just don't like how it looks like on you. Different stores have different sizing and fit. You think it will fit okay but sometimes we go back to the store and try to exchange it for another size, which is a hassle and a waste of time.
  5. Bring a friend with you and have fun! If you aren't sure of something, your friends are there to knock some sense and talk you into buying things or not. Be practical and be a smart shopper!
  6. Know the store policy! You just need to know if you can return/exchange an item, and within how many days, and if they do store credit/ money back. I've seen a lot of individuals complain that they can't get their money back because of the store policy. It's not the company's fault, it's yours for not asking/knowing.
  7. Keep your receipts! Just in case you want to return/exchange it. It is really important because I know some stores don't give you money back if you don't have your receipt, just a store credit and such. But to keep away from those kind of dilemmas simply put your receipts in an organized file holder with different tabs on it. Different categories: stores, credit cards you used, date of purchase, etc.
Goodluck!
