Eat n play in booming Northwest
This week's Under $30
restaurant review focuses on the
popular Vietnamese soup pho at
Pho 88.
It is one of several Tucson
restaurants that serve the soup,
which is pronounced fuh - as in,
like, duh.
Others spots that serve pho
include Pho Thu at 2226 N.
Stone Ave.; and Miss Saigon,
which has two locations: 1072 N.
Campbell Ave. and 4650 W. Ina Road.
Sometime soon, a new pho
restaurant will open in Main Gate
Square near the University of
Arizona campus. Can you tell us
what it's called? This one's a
gimme, we grant you, because
the restaurant is mentioned in
this week's Good Eats chapter.
Send us the correct answer and
you'll be entered into a drawing
to win a cookbook.

The Northwest Side, which encompasses Marana and Oro Valley and extends past Catalina, has long had the reputation as being a place where you laid your head and raised your kids. Farming was the way of life for much of the valley before residential development boomed in the 1980s. Commercial development has been slower to come. If you wanted any type of entertainment
I think Oro Valley is going to be the most happening place. Tucson has nowhere to grow. That's why people are going to Oro Valley, said Sareen, a recent transplant to Oro Valley who opened the popular Kababeque four years ago near the University of Arizona. It's all new houses, a lot of new opportunities.
Fire's menu liberally balances Jonilonis' devotion to regional cuisine and his passion for Old World classics. Wood-fired flatbread pizzas can start with crusts infused with truffled smoked sea salt or sweet chile pepper. Specialty pies include the decidedly upscale braised Angus beef short rib and blue cheese; and Spanish chorizo and spinach with manchego cheese and piquillo peppers.
Li'l Abner's, 8501 N. Silverbell Road, 744-2800. This was the original reason why folks from Tucson made the trip northwest all those years before housing and commercial development took hold in the early 1990s. The steakhouse has a reputation for fine meats and a true cowboy setting, and hosts a Western band on weekends.
McClintock's, 3755 W. Conrads Way, off North Thornydale Road in Saguaro Ranch; 579-2100. Reservations are required to get into the gated, multimillion-dollar-home community of Saguaro Ranch. The destination restaurant features American grill, an extensive wine list and unmatched desert setting and views.
Bedroxx Bowling, 4385 W. Ina Road. This isn't your daddy's bowling alley. The emphasis at Bedroxx is on kids, with an arcade that includes a merry-go-round and video games where kids can win prizes. The alley features 30 retro-glow lanes and two-dozen large-screen TVs that broadcast everything from sports to Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel. It's also a hot birthday party destination. Don't despair, Dad: there's a Hooter's next door.
Miraval, 5000 E. Via Estancia Miraval, Catalina; 1-800-825-4000. Last year, Oprah Winfrey hosted 60 winners of her Live Your Best Life Spa Week contest at Miraval. The staff at the world-renowned spa nestled in the Catalinas probably didn't bat an eye. Celebs are regular guests at the retreat, which has put the sleepy enclave of Catalina on the map.
Video poker skills
Playing video poker have certain skills. You must choose which card reservations, which the card. Sometimes, these decisions do is very easy, but sometimes have to make the best decisions will not be easy.
Found playing video poker strategy
For example, if you deal with the same color of the four licences in the one pair of tickets, you still retain this pair to break out, to get the same flowers? To find the answer to this question, you need to be spent into the same and with the possibility of a pay increase after spending compared - and do not forget that if the retention of the right, you may also be of three togethers. 4, or with, but in fact this possibility is very small. The implementation of these terms is not easy, in most cases, the best way to retain the pair.
Play skillfully, you will gradually realize what is the best option. Usually, will be retained and spent three licensing Shunzi or not you can profit. Playing Jacks or Better, the correct approach is usually retain all the big, and not to get a lot of licensing and reduce the number of licensed.
Some players will recommend what you should be retained licensing, but you must make its own decision, judge the credibility of these proposals. These proposals are usually reliable.
Enjoy bonuses and Jackpots
Find registration bonuses, as well as the award or jackpot round of the game. Jackpots round of incentives and increase your bonus amount is a great way. Award round means that the more you can bet your money could double or more. It is often provided by the video poker the best bet for you to receive the note under the bonus equivalent.
Jackpots refers to a sum of money, it can continue to grow with each round of the game, to be followed by arbitrarily labeled as a primary access to specific licensing. These two methods will bring you the joy of winning, they need you the greatest number of coins bet. If you are on the web site of a sum of money, then online casino will normally give you a sum of money. In most cases, access to money is conditional, that is, you must be a note, with the amount to a considerable amount of this award. Increased bonuses is a good way to win.
Bet, a few bargaining chips to use maximum bet
If you look at the video poker pay table, you will find that the biggest bargaining chip in the column Royal Flush payments than under normal circumstances must be high. If a coin is paid 500,3 to 250,2 coin coin is 750, you might think four chips is 1,000 points, and in fact may be 4000 hours. Therefore, if you always bet the maximum number of coins, it may be better that the opportunity to win a licence. For example, do not bet the next dollar coin, and the next four to 25 cents coin bet.
Time to lend a hand to help you
Think twice before taking any action. Usually, there is no time limit bet, hastily made decision might take you nothing. On the other hand, you bet the shorter course, you have to spend money to enjoy the fun of the less.
