: TravelValue: If You Want More Bang-for-the-Buck, Virgin River Is The Place To Stay

Virgin River Hotel and Casino

Mesquite, NV 89027
Website: virginriver.com
Phone: (702) 346-7777
Prices: $$$$

If bang-for-the-buck is what you are looking for, this is the hotel and casino for you.

PROS: For around $30 a day, the inexpensive room had everything I needed except a microwave and coffeemaker. The casino nextdoor has a coffee shop with good food and low prices as well as an all-you-can-eat buffet. The casino's blackjack tables have $5 minimums which was right up my alley. Which reminds me, they also have a huge bowling alley, laundry room, pool and hot tub, Starbucks, sports book, and bingo parlor.

CONS: A coffee maker in the room would have been nice, so I went to WalMart and bought a $10 coffee maker rather than hike over to Starbucks every morning or to their coffee shop for a $3 cup of substandard to-go coffee. Their so called "loyalty" card was useless at the tables, so it seems as though they cater only to slot players.

Translation for Civilians: 

Is The AgroMafia Diluting Your Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

Italian products, from wine and olive oil to Mozzarella di Bufala, Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto, are well known, desirable, and expensive, so when we purchase a well-known Italian brand name we should get what we pay for ... right? Well that may not in-fact be the case.

According to a CBS 60 Minutes story on what is called the "AgroMafia", 50% of extra virgin olive oil on Italian market shelves and 70% - 80% on American store shelves are substandard, sometimes dangerous products black-marketed under well known brand names by the mafia and/or camorra. The problem is not confined to just olive oil, but wine, cheeses, tomatoes, ham and many other Italian products are also being exploited.

For those with seed or nut allergies, be extremely careful when purchasing Italian products, particularly olive oil, because cheaper seed or nut oils (e.g. sunflower oil) are often used to dilute or replace the extra virgin olive oil. For information on how you can avoid buying and overpaying for substandard products from Italy, watch this 60 Minutes Overtime video:
