We have chosen the top 5 restaurants to eat in Lima if you are a visitor to our city. Take a look at some of these hot places to eat.

The Las Vegas Shakeup

When the Hakkasan Group launched its flagship Las Vegas club and restaurant at the MGM Grand in 2013, its executives hinted at something more to come. The company had just opened the doors at a $100 million dollar, 80,000 square-foot facility–the largest of its kind in North America—but CEO Neil Moffitt cautioned that it was just the beginning for the hospitality brand.

Since then, Hakkasan Group has negotiated a series of global partnerships and acquisitions, the largest of which may be a deal for a Las Vegas competitor that would alter the nightlife landscape of Sin City. According to multiple sources, Hakkasan is set to acquire Morgans Hotel Group’s stake in Light Group, the operator of Vegas nightclubs including Light and 1 Oak.

While the final purchase price is unclear, those familiar with the negotiations suggested that the deal could be valued at more than $40 million in cash and debt, with Hakkasan taking control of about 20 restaurants and clubs in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Miami. Hakkasan would be buying Morgans’ 90% stake in Light Group, which the New York-based hospitality company bought in late 2011 for $46.5 million in cash and debt.

Those familiar with the deal said that negotiations between the two companies have gone on for months as Hakkasan continues its aggressive expansion strategy.  Earlier this year, the company bought San Diego-based Enlightened Hospitality Group, which operates Southern California fine dining restaurants, and partnered with MGM Resorts MGM -1.78% to build non-gaming hotels in a joint venture known as MGM Hakkasan Hospitality.

Multiple sources also confirmed that Hakkasan had made inquiries to buy out nightlife operator Tao Group, whose venues include Vegas’ Marquee Nightclub and New York’s Marquee. Those inquiries were made earlier this year, but never led to substantial negotiations, said those close to the companies.

By purchasing Light Group, Hakkasan will consolidate the crowded nightlife industry and absorb one of the newer venues to open on the Las Vegas strip. Located inside the MGM-owned Mandalay Bay, Light Nightclub opened in May 2013 and was set up to compete with Hakkasan’s behemoth venue, which launched in April of that year.

Since debuting its Vegas venue, Hakkasan Group, whose ownership can be traced back to Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has continued to establish itself as a major player in Sin City entertainment. The company will also add to its Vegas portfolio with the opening of the 75,000-square foot Omnia at Caesars Palace in the spring of 2015.

If Hakkasan is able to complete its deal for Light, the hospitality firm may own three of the largest nightclubs by the time of Omnia’s opening next year. It would also presumably take over Light’s smaller properties and restaurants, including Japanese eatery Yellowtail and Bellagio-based club, The Bank. One person close to the negotiations noted that, as part of the deal, Hakkasan would be committing money toward the future improvement of current venues and the development of new properties.

Top 3 Pizza Restaurants In Charlotte, NC

Charlotte, North Carolina is one of the greatest places to eat pizza. The Wrap-Up Magazine has released the top the pizza restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina. First up was Tony's pizza.

In the great New York style vs. everything else argument, this is a place that you can use as a great argument in favor of the thin, floppy New York pizza.

The CLT location of Tony's is just one of those old school, sit-and-have-some-love kinds of pizza parlors that are sadly becoming a thing of the past. The pizza, garlic bread and anything else you have the privilege of trying will just taste like smiles.

Second on the list is Riccio’s pizza villa. While the rest of the Italian menu is bang-up and great, you're going to want all of their garlic knots. Just the entire lot of it -- back the truck on up to the table. The pizza itself holds great company as some of the best around. Riccio’s is why you go out of your way for independent and local business.

Last but sure not least, is Luigi's Pizza restaurant. Places like this are what the world needs more of. Walk in, say "gimmie two slices and a beer" and bing, pow, boom -- there you go.

They're not messing around, just giving you the serious New York style pizza that you shouldn't live another day without. The friendly staff, laid back atmosphere and super-reasonable prices are all great justification for having every dinner for the rest of your life here.

Inside Soho Roc House

Few places in the world scream glamor like the Greek island of Mykonos. With its bougainvillea-draped, whitewashed houses set against the endless deep blue of the Aegean Sea, it is no surprise that it draws more of the international glitterati than anywhere else in Greece. How appropriate, then, that Soho House, the private members’ club of choice for the “it” crowd, has selected this envy-inducing location for its newest club and hotel.

Founded in London in 1995, Soho House started out as a members’ club for people in the film, media, and creative industries. Since then, the group has gradually expanded around the globe and now includes 27 houses, along with a multitude of restaurants, cinemas, workspaces, spas and bedrooms. While every house is individually designed to reflect the city and neighborhood it inhabits, the Soho House properties all share certain common characteristics: from the on-point contemporary design, complete with plush fabrics and bespoke artworks, to the trademark swimming pools and the host of achingly trendy 20- and 30-somethings they attract as members.

A More Realistic Household Budget

Creating a strong household budget is a necessity for many families. Many people set up a budget with the hopes of reining in spending and getting their personal finances under control. They follow their budget closely for a week or two, but shortly after fall back into old habits. The key to budgeting is creating a guide that you can adhere to over a long period of time. Building a more realistic budget is easy, when you use moderation and sensibility.

The function of a budget is to restore financial stability and control unnecessary spending. Budgets come in all shapes and sizes, and one size definitely does not fit all. When designing your budget, use moderation. Avoid budgets that allow very little to no wiggle room. While a bare-bones budget is effective at getting finances under control at first, it is not a realistic module to follow over a long period of time.

Bill Gates Buys Four Seasons Hotel

Bill Gates has purchased Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta from Host Hotels & Resorts. The +Microsoft Developer Bill Gates is showing interest in international property as well.

Michael Jordan Still The Highest Paid Athlete

(The Wrap-Up Magazine) Forbes published it’s annual retiree rankings today, but aptly followed it up with a piece breaking down how MJ will make more than the likes of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant or even Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo — despite the fact that he stepped away from the hardwood 13 years ago.The Swoosh imprint made $3 billion USD in shoe sales last year in the U.S. alone — resulting in roughly $100 USD million for MJ, which is more than he made in salary ($94 million USD) during his entire 15-year playing career.

On top of that, the vastly improved Charlotte Hornets have undoubtedly lined Jordan’s pockets (he’s been the majority owner since 2010) with a bunch of added dough while partnerships with Gatorade, 2K Sports, and Five Star Fragrances — as well as the long-term extension with memorabilia firm Upper Deck he signed last year — keep the checks coming. MJ’s empire even includes seven restaurants and a car dealership.

The Kardashians Has Fallen Victims To Pranksterss

+Kris Jenner has spreaded rumors that the +Kardashian Store has fallen victim to pranksters. According to TMZ, Kris Jenner is convinced that a group of pranksters is out to humiliate the stars of Keeping Up With the Kardashians and give the entire family a bad reputation by planting fake stories, impersonating them on the phone and even making fake reservations at some of the top restaurants in the world — making them persona-non-grata when they are a no-show for their reserved tables.

Everybody remembers last summer when there was a string of swatting hoaxes among elite celebrities. Fake 911 calls were made from the homes of celebrities claiming emergency situations like trespassing with weapons, to someone had been deathly injured.

Well those "pranks" — which are against the law by the way — were aimed at lots of different celebrities, not just the Kardashians. But this new round of pranks is aimed at the Kardashians and the Kardashians alone.

My Trip To Bloomington Mall

Bloomington Mall

My trip to the Mall Of America was great. I loved how you walked into the main entrance and saw QVC live on t.v. and then the memorable theme park in the center. Different floors of the building have different selections to choose from.

Since opening its doors in 1992, Mall of America® has revolutionized the shopping experience and become a leader in retail, entertainment and attractions. The Mall of America is a shopping mall located in Bloomington, Minnesota.

There was once a time in my life when I lived in Redwing, MN which is only around a 40 minute drive from Bloomington. I was having the ball of my life. This came during a time I was turning into a man and was wanting to make a name for myself.

The Mall carried some of the hottest women and you knew of the best parties. When I was there, Juvenile promoters approached me about a event and handed me a flyer, and just as I know it, Juvenile walks up and shake my hand and keeps going.

With 520 shops, 50 restaurants and action-packed attractions, there's a lot to get lost in. Mall of America(R) is one of the top tourist destinations in the country! The Mall welcomes more than 40 million visitors a year from across the country.

The Wu-Tang Clan Has Opened A Surprise Pop-Up Shop In West Hollywood

 

The Wu-Tang Clan announced on their official social media channels that they’d be setting up in West Hollywood, California with a surprise pop-up shop that runs from today, Thursday, October 15th, until Sunday, October 18th. What will you find at the Wu-Tang pop-up? We have no clue at this point, but we’re expecting all sorts of limited-edition apparel drops, maybe a vinyl pressing or two, and, if we’re lucky, the black and yellow Wu-Tang Nike Air Force 1s.

Right now details on what is going down at the pop-up are scarce, few if any social media posts linked to the event exist right now, all we really know is that the shop has the operating hours of 11 am to 7 pm and we can assume you’ll need a mask to enter, per county regulations. The Wu-Tang Clan twitter account has been steadily posting images of Wu-Tang apparel so we’re assuming this is a mostly apparel-focused drop.
