CarneVino Italian Steakhouse - Palazzo Hotel
Online Reservations
Our server was awesome he made fantastic suggestions and listen to what we wanted to have what a great experience.
I have to agree with others that the beef, while extremely good, is on par with other high-end LV steakhouses vis-a-vis price and quality. The service, however, is impeccable and the sides are very tasty especially the spinach and the mushrooms.
CarneVino is a great restaurant. With all the choices in Las Vegas I still went two nights in a row. My only complaint is the music is too loud and doesn't match the the great decor and service. I asked them to turn it down both nights. The food is excellent. The best quality prepared perfectly.
If you're in the mood for a steak next time you're in Vegas, nothing beats Carne Vino's dry aged meat. Impeccable service. Bring your appetite and your wallet. Dinner for three ran us $400
The name says it all.....meat and wine. The bone in rib eye for 2 was the best I have ever eaten. I shared with a friend and we don't think we have ever seen a bone that big or a steak so flavorful. All of the entrees were amazing and large. The wine list was amazing. Carne Vino will be my number one stop when I head back to Las Vegas. The only downside to the restaurant was the bar. The bartenders were so busy serving food that we felt neglected as our party of 8 practically had to beg for a drink before being seated.
Simply the best dinning experience I have ever had. The restaurant was wonderful looking and the noise was low but not uncomfortable quite (note, we went Thursday and the restaurant was not too full). The service was the best I've ever had,... anywhere, while the food was in the top 5. Of course, you do pay for all this; but for a special night this place will leave you with a memory worth the price. Highly recommend.
Hands down, one of the best meals, ever! We had the Chef's tasting menu with paired wines. It was amazing! The staff was friendly and attentive.
Prepare for sticker shock, but also prepare to be wowed. CV is small and elegant, tucked away into a relatively quiet corner of the Palazzo. The wine (a Central Coast Pinot Noir) was exceptionally good, as was my truffle-coated pasta. One downside -- my husband said his steak wasn't the best he'd had (a NY Strip at $60). The service was delightful. All in all, a nice night out.
We spent time researching Steak restaurants in Vegas before booking Carnevino. We booked a reservation in early Sept for date Oct 26. We arrived at the desk to let them know we were their for our reservation, were taken to a "dining room" that was across the hall from the main dining room. It seemed like an overflow dining area. We complained to the hostess that we booked well in advance and would like to be in the main dining room. She said their would be a wait. She got the manager for us to speak to. The manager handled the situation very well and we were promptly moved to the main dining room which had multiple empty tables. Once moved, we had a lovely dinner. No where on the Carnevino website does it mention multiple dining rooms....
The service was was wonderful. The waiter J.T. did outstanding job. The food was very good. I would go back the next time I am in Las Vegas.
u have to eat here.the food was unbelievably good.the service was great.and the price for food at this place i would gladly pay. WOW.
This was the best way to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. He was so surprised and I was very pleased with the services and wonderful staff. We look forward to visiting again......
We celebrated our brother in laws's 40th Annersary and had a great time. Fantastic service!!! our steaks for the price could have been served hotter but they were delicious!!! The Wine list was overwelming....WOW !!!
It was very nice restaurant. I would liek to recommend to other people. But little bit noisy!! But food is very nice..
We inquired with our server how much time we should allocate to grab a cab for our show later that evening. The answer was less than 10 minutes. Not being from the area we gave ourselves another 10 minutes, and enjoyed the food/wine dining ambience. Fast forward...We eventually arrived at our show 20 minutes late, apparently all locals in Vegas know what our server did not! Kinda bummed out a great dining experience.
Actually our third time dining here. Yes its noisy (unless you're in the wine room out back) and its quite expensive but it's a great location and the food and service are second to none. They do like to significantly under cook their steaks so be prepared to either send it back or ask for a temperature beyond your norm. Huge wine list if you like Italian wine otherwise the choices are a little more limited in the reasonable price ranges for American wines. Multiple servers that try to anticipate your every need make the experience very special. We would return again.
There are probably 100 steakhouses in Las Vegas. CarneVino is easily in the top 10. The wine list is extensive, with a good selection by the glass. We will be eating here again.
Great meal that exceeded high expectations. Aged ribeye was spectacular. Wine list impressive. Took clients to entertain for a dinner meeting. They enjoyed the restaurant and the noise level was no problem for conducting business. We will be back.
My husband and I had dinner here on a recent trip to Vegas to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The experience was amazing!!! I have been to Vegas over 10 times and this is my most memorable meal! With so many options in Vegas this one should be on your list! Thanks CarneVino!!!!
I had the New York it was good not great a little disappointed after all the hype I've heard about the place. Had the beef cheek ravioli a for an appetizers they were fantastic
We did B & B a few years ago and WOW, unlike B & B we didn't do tasting menu (the whole table has to do it). Waiter gave great recommendations. Tried 2 salads, just good (although the waiter tried to talk us into an ap instead). 2 pastas, they're very small. We had a beef cheek ravioli that was amazing, 7 raviolis. Gorgonzola gnocchi, just good. For main we did the ribeye for 1, porterhouse, and extra aged NY. Steaks were great, and it was fun & educational to try them next to each other. We added a sauce (that the waiter tried to talk us out of) that was decent, but not needed. Make a mess, pick up the bone and gnaw on it. no sides. Very glad we went, probably wouldn't go back as there are other steak houses I'd try. But worth a visit.
The octopus appetizer was amazing. Best steak (ribeye) I've had.
This is an excellent restaurant choice for a special occasion in Vegas. The steak was absolutely delicious and the pasta dishes were also great! I would certainly recommend this place as long as you are willing to shell out some cash.
5 pm reservation before concert. Seated in wine room which seemed disappointing at the time, but from a sound standpoint may be preferable. Ribeye for 2 was insanely good and we are carnivores who will spend money at home on tomahawk chops. Porcini bernaise was so good ... But not necessary on that kind of meat.Service was top notch. Lance was great as was the young girl who also enthusiastically presented our dishes. Octopus app will be in my dreams..oysters were smallish and okay. Spllit whiskey semifreddo which was excellent. Wine list is immense. Will need to come back!!!!! Best meal in Vegas across five days!
The beef cheek ravioli was the special pasta; it was well worth it. Only made better by a wonderful 90 day dry ages rib-eye that I got to devour the bone of at the end of the meal. Well worth the time to check out when in Vegas.
It was a truly amazing dinning experience. It made our wedding dinner perfect.
"GREAT SERVICE AND OUTSTANDING QUALITY" Expensive but worth it once in a while.
We have come to prefer to dine at the bar. Bartenders very attentive (Coop and E). I think pasta is the reason to visit this restaurant. Not a fan of beef aged longer than I am. Best part is outstanding wine list.
A bit out of my comfort zone. But it was a great experience and outstanding food. I'm not a huge wine aficionado but it you are this restaurant will humble you. Great food and excellent service is hard to find these days but both can be found at this gem.
The food is excellent. From the lard, to the pasta, to the amazing dry aged steaks, the food is fantastic. Very memorable dinng experience. If you're in Vegas and you can only go to one steakhouse (and I've been to all of them), this is it.
A wonderful dining experience. Definitely a great place for a romantic dinner. Ask for the quiet area.
The wait staff is exceptional...attentive and helpful, going the extra mile to explain both the dishes and the size of portions and extremely accommodating. When my wife stated she was in the mood for Italian, the waiter went our of his way to make sure the "pasti" portion was doubled to meet her request. Attentive throughout, but never imposing, they made the meal even more enjoyable. Their friendly and polite manner was a treat all by itself. The filet I had was very tender (or as some say "like buttah") & the Tuscan fries were a special treat. The calamari appetizer was ever so slightly breaded which made it exceptional. The only concern was that the music level sometimes was intrusive, but that was rare! Choose this instead of Ramsey's!
Best steak of our lives! (Bone-in-Ribeye for two carved tableside). I'm sure the gnocchi was great (and it was), but it was completely overshadowed by the phenomenal steak. Found a decently priced bottle of wine. On my budget this is a "Special Occasion" only type of restaurant... that is worth every penny! P.S. I do a lot of research on the "best places to eat" before I visit on vacation, and I narrowed down Carrnevino as my #1 choice and I'm really happy I did.
The pan-seared duck was truly outstanding!!! The filet was also very good. Unfortunately, the porterhouse was a little disappointing.
CarneVino was a fantastic experience from the ambiance, the service and the food. Albeit a tad pricy - our meal for 2 was $425 plus tip for dinner and a bottle of wine - it was worth it for sure. The prime rib for 2 carved table side is highly recommended, order it more well done than you usually prefer, we are MR steak eaters, ordered Medium and perhaps we would have preferred it even a bit more cooked. The cipollini onions were to die for and the beets were fab. The service was impeccable without being stuffy. The only negative comment is regarding the music which varied in volume tremendously. I'm glad we were able to get in short notice.
Excellent food. Great wine selections. One of the most impressive dinners so far.
First of all, this was not our first time to CarneVino, nor will it be our last when visiting Vegas. The food was excellent and the service was even better. However, background music was 100% inappropriate (complete with vulgar/offensive lyrics) for a fine dining restaurant at these prices. When we informed the waiter that we found the music to be loud and offensive, and requested that he change the music, we were informed that the CHEF selects the music and it is "the music he would play if you were dining at his house". Well we weren't dining at his house. I doubt it would be the music Mario Batali would play for HIS dinner guests at his house and especially not for the guests at his restaurants.
Food was very good and to level of expectation for the price of the menu, though you could tell it was a very large restaurant but to be expected in Vegas. Service was top notch, with staff very knowledgeable of the menu and going the extra mile to provide a positive dinning experience.
Our meals (4) were all outstanding. We had beef, lamb and seafood pasta between us and everything was great. The wait staff were wonderful. The prices are high but that's par for upscale Las Vegas dining. I have to say the wine list was very pricey so we opted for their house wine which was very good!
The food was fabulous and the service outstanding. The "Reserva" steak is worth getting. So delicious. The sides were very good, but pretty basic. The bread was tasty and the addition of lardo as a spread was super. Soooo good. Las Vegas isn't our favorite place, but should we come back to town, CarneVino will be a must.
We went for a birthday lunch and it was the best meal I've ever had! We let our server pick whatever she thought was the best and it was to die for! Go immediately! If I knew Chef Batali I would call himself to tell him what a great experience we had!
We had a wonderful experience. The food and wine were exceptional. Having a very knowledgeable sommelier was extremely helpful and he did not disappoint with the wine. We sat in the cellar and there was a lot of traffic back and forth to the washrooms.
Loved Carnevino! Truly. The 12 week aged Porterhouse was prime perfection! Really. One of the best steaks I have eaten anywhere in the world! Pastas were a triumph as well. Mario and Joe have another winner here. Two bones to pick were with 1.) the music, which was a Kanye West album played start to finish at pretty loud levels, and 2.) the service was rather slow, The restaurant seemed understaffed and it was hard to get not just our waiter's, but anyone's attention. It didn't affect the overall meal or our enjoyment of the establishment, but I felt it was worth noting. Would go back in a second!
The food was excellent, cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly, courteous, and attentive without being over bearing. They had great knowledge of the menu and did a fantastic job of pairing the wine and food.
This is always my first restaurant stop in Vegas. The dry aged beef is amazing. This place never disappoints.
calamari could have been better Steak was spectacularlar
Incredible steaks! our group shared a few of their giant cuts, the bone in rib-eye was spectacular! We also tried one of their extreme aged (9 months!) cuts which had a surprising flavor, very strong and interesting - really enjoyed it. The service was excellent and they were very helpful in picking out a good sharing combo that gave us a nice variety to try
The meat was incredible. Service was exceptional We enjoyed this restaurant and will go back Ask to sit in the wine room.
This restaurant is superb! From the service ( which was phenomenal) to the food itself ( which was truly delicious), Carnevino is a must-eat experience. The wine list is extensive and ranges from reasonable to high-range. I had a $20 glass of California Cabernet which was smooth and fresh. Our table of 6 took our server's advice and ordered to share. Between us, we ordered one salad (Arugula--yum!), 2 pastas, and 3 entrees. The lamb chops were magnificent and the dry-aged bone-in New York Strip was the single best steak I have ever had. I don't write reviews, but made an exception in this case. Carnevino was just that good!

OTTAWA, Oct. 17, 2013 /CNW/ - Today, the Honourable Lisa Raitt, Minister of Transport, acted to further enhance safety in the transportation of dangerous goods by directing that a protective direction be issued requiring any person who imports or transports crude oil to conduct classification tests on crude oil.
"As the Speech from the Throne reiterated yesterday, our government remains committed to taking action to protect public safety, and we will take targeted action to increase the safety of the transportation of dangerous goods," said Minister Raitt. "We are continuing to do that today with the issuance of this protective direction."
Effective immediately, any person who imports or transports crude oil must:
Transport Canada continues to work in cooperation with the Transportation Safety Board as it conducts its investigation into the tragic accident in Lac-Mégantic. Transport Canada is building upon the safety advisories received from the Transportation Safety Board and is further enhancing the safety of railway operations and dangerous goods transportation in Canada.
The Transport Canada investigation following the accident in Lac-Mégantic is ongoing. Any person who imports, handles, offers for transport or transports dangerous goods must comply with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, its regulations and standards.
Oil and gas are routinely shipped safely across the country every day. There are over 30 million shipments of dangerous goods every year in Canada with 99.999 percent of them reaching their destinations without incident. Railway safety and transportation of dangerous goods regulations exist to ensure the safety and protection of the public. The protective direction was issued pursuant to section 32 of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992.

Pcharles, I'm sure Pinterest has plans for their business model. I was just thinking about the primary content: images, many of them clearly stolen, and comments about them. Google, and even Facebook, have much broader functionality.
They proably will soon. I have seen many marketers taking full advantage of the system for rankings and link juice.
Yes, arguably more culpable in the case of Pinterest than Google, because Pinterest really doesn't have much claim to be doing anything else.
I think the same. Look at what Pinterest & Instagram has done with images. They themselves are creating marketplaces and dricing traffic with images alone.
I'm looking out for my own images on Google. Then I can sue and retire. Maybe.
I'm inclined to agree with you PCharles, and I think part of the problem people have with this is that they instinctively don't see images as being as valuable as text. Interesting.
Google - stealing -> NOOO way
Maybe the publishers can relish in the fact that not only do they have little say in the matter. But Google is going to be making millions+ by using their content to push ads in front of readers. And the best part is.... they don't get a cent.
Good points, SLFisher, but I think the question is whether Google itself is stealing content. When it did the same thing with books, publishers and authors said yes--and the case is still in court.
I certainly hear you about the advantages to creative artists of getting their product into the digital domain--in the current environment, they're well advised to do so. But should it be their choice, or should the choice be taken out of their hands by a company, just because it's big and powerful?
I'm a "creative." I see my work, or the work of people I'm responsible for, available on the Internet in an unauthorized way. I have friends who are musicians. I have afriends who are artists and photographers. So I'm totally sympathetic to the problems of getting work stolen.
At the same time, spreading knowledge is good, whether it's written knowledge or sung knowledge or photographed knowledge or whatever. As a writer, it's a lot easier for me to write articles than it was twenty years ago, because I can search for information -- which, of course, I properly cite. And Google is a very important tool for that.
It's not like Google was designed to help people steal content, even if some people choose to use it that way.
As long as we maintain a sense of fairness & transparanecy, that's all it matters in the end....

APRIL 2011 Are there things in your life that you would like to change? Things that make you unhappy? Do you dream of things you would like to do but don't know how to make it happen? Anyone that speaks up for themselves, letting others know what they think is a self-advocate. Being a Self-Advocate for change means: Solving problems and making decisions. Speaking for ourselves. Knowing rights and responsibilities. Contributing to your community. As we learned last summer with Dr Jamie VanDycke, there are 2 levels of self-advocacy. Personal Advocacy - Changes YOU (or a friend) need in your own supports and services. Examples: You need help with your banking; You are having trouble getting around town; Your friend doesn't like his job; Your friend doesn't like where he lives. Systems Advocacy - Changes in policies or rules that EVERYONE needs. Examples: What kinds of family support can a family get; How money is used for developmental disability services; Who lives in an institution and who lives in the community with residential services. I want to advocate for change, but HOW DO I DO IT? 1. What is the problem? Example: The stoplight doesn't last long enough for me to cross the street. After you know what the problem is, explain what would be better. The stoplight would be long enough so that people with disabilities could safely cross the street. 2. Decide who can fix the problem. Who can make the changes you want? Example: Yourself; Family; Friends; Support Staff; Teachers; Government. 3. Decide what actions to take. Ask for what you want and get others that will support your idea. Make your message louder. Ask again. Don't give up. 4. Did you get the change you wanted? If no, make changes to your plan and get back to work. SPEAKING OUT can be POWERFUL 4 Steps to Change SPRING IS IN THE AIR! WARM TEMPERATURES ARE COMING!

Theme Thursday: Polka Dots
Striking an arch through the blue sky, playing peek-a-boo with fluffy clouds, the little white balls plunk into the fields of green. Wrinkles and creases criss cross the tan leather skin of his hands like tattooed storyboards, as he slips off the well worn golf gloves. His eyes are easy as his smile surveying the polka dotted landscape. Brushed steel buckets in hand we go off to collect them.
Soon enough, we will slip into the kitchen and I will prepare him a tomato sandwich and he will smile again as his gums push through the texture into the juicy goodness. For now though, we relive Easter egg hunts as we chase down the dimpled golf balls returning them to the recesses of the shop until next time.
Some days we pull out the old riding lawn mower and I travel in ever diminishing circles as I cut their grass, a meditation on a simple life. Occasionally an errant golf ball we miss in our searching will fly true out the chute on the side of the mower, propelled by the blade. Cracked, the hard shell gives way to one of the mysteries of life...the nuclear center of the golf ball. Poison, power, combustion...all these thoughts dance in our adolescent dreams when i smuggle them home.
Running the sharp edge of the blade over the rubber bands of the second layer, digging for the center, we are sure we are going to blow the house up, maybe even the town. Anticipation rewards us with...not even a poof. Just one of the mysteries of life discovered while sharing...
love &
polka dots.
Thoughts on taking care of my Great Uncle Lawrence as he grew older.
For more takes on the theme go to Theme Thursday.

That's the trouble with getting old Brian, we heal slower. Cole will be much luckier! Poor mum. I hope she's a patient soul. 8 weeks is quite a long time.
Nice take on the polka dot theme. Erm, we've broken a few windows with balls being flung by the tractor whilst mowing! - January 6, 2010 at 4:30 PM

I smiled when I read this.
For two reasons.
One because of your warm nostalgia for your uncle and good times with him and one for your impish youth when you longed to have some excitement "blowing up" a tennis ball...

Oh I love golf and this post makes me want to dig the clubs out of my storage locker, I never have hit the ball far enough to break anything or even loose it.
Your mom will heal, broke my foot 2 years ago and after 8 weeks in a cast had to have a pin put in and another 6 weeks of a walking cast, no fun but it is fine now. Wish her well from me......:-) Hugs - January 6, 2010 at 6:17 PM

Best wishes to your Mom, Brian. Bones won't be rushed when they're a bit older.
Your memories of your Uncle made great reading. I was reminded of the great discovery of the inside of a golf ball when I visited some local works where they were made. A bit disappointing really.... grins. - January 7, 2010 at 2:54 AM

I remember tearing a golf ball apart when I was a kid. Thought it was fascinating!
Don't know what happened to your mom, but know personally healing takes longer when you're older. Been there!

My dad used to love to collect "errant" golf balls too. He had plastic bags of them stashed away and he would always hand them out as if they were bars of gold to any youngsters who happened to visit with their parents. He loved to go over to the "Research Centre" near our house where there were huge expanses of lawns and he could practice his swing. I never see a golf ball where I don't remember my dad.
This was a great prod at those memories. Thanks, Brian. - January 7, 2010 at 10:55 AM

Thank you for the update about your mom. I for one can tell you that healing takes longer as we get older, but the good news is that we do eventually heal. I am glad that your mom is getting better. Prayers being sent your way.
And I am glad you have such wonderful memories of your times spent with your Uncle. You are blessed to have these.
I also think that one never forgets the first time we see the inside of a golf ball. And the time spent trying to undo those rubberbands is never forgotten either.
Thank you for another great story. I love them all.

Great Local Gym – Very helpful staff.....it had been a while since I had worked out and the owner helped me devise a plan that I could work on and advance at my own pace. They are always willing to listen to new ideas.or suggestions. Equipment is well maintained and the place is clean and well kept. Very supportive of community groups ad have a bulletin board where you can post local events.
Reasonable price.
PERFECT – Really nice and friendly staff.......clean and has a refreshing hometown feel....definitely a nice place to tan OR workout !!!
horrible place – The gym is crowded, overpriced and lacks equipment. The amount of money you pay you can go to any other neighborhood gym like Kinetix that has much more to offer. Oh, and ladies be careful of your man, the owner is all over the men in there. She creates a lot of problems for a lot of people.

There were 14,270 emergency room visits for intentional drug poisoning in the U.S. during 2009, according to new data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Of these emergency room visits, 73% were made by people aged 21 and (More)

I searched high and low for a girl with some curves. I called on the only people I know that would treat me right. It took a few tries but they came through. Jenny showed up at my place with one thing in mind. She was ready to satisfy my curvy needs. She brought her huge ass to get stuffed. I was amazed. She took a pounding and yelled for more. I got a great work out form her and her curves.

text: Earthquake Strikes SiberiaOctober 2, 2003On October 2, MSF sent an emergency team in response to waves of earthquakes in the Kosh-Agach region of Siberia, Russia. Nearly 17,000 people have been affected by the quakes, which have left 18-foot wide and 1,200-foot high fissures in some places. Twelve villages were struck by the series of quakes registering more than 7 on the Richter scale. According to Russian authorities, six hospitals have been destroyed and a further 12 have been partially damaged. "The inaccessibility of the region has been one of the biggest challenges," said MSF emergency coordinator Charles Goethals. "Not only in terms of the vast distances to cover, but also because more than 60 miles of road has been blocked by debris from the quakes. But in the last few days we have been able to dispatch one team from Moscow and another from Kemerovo with drugs, medical materials and blankets." Although the number of casualties is reportedly low, the days following the quakes have seen a marked increase in incidences of trauma, stress syndromes and respiratory disorders. MSF has responded through the distribution of required medicines to still functioning health centers and hospitals. "But one of the biggest worries," said Goethals, "is that with so many homes destroyed and the temperature dropping to nearly 0° Farenheit at night, the cold might prove to be just as dangerous for the people as the earthquake itself." In addition to medicines, a 7-member MSF team will distribute locally purchased clothes as well as 1,500 blankets and 1,500 hygienic kits. Tags: Natural Disaster |

Jason Mraz is cocking his fedora to a jaunty angle and whipping out some shade while talking smack about the Jonas Brothers. PopEater talked with Mraz at the VH1 Save the Music Gala and didn't hold back when it came to the similarities to his hit, 'I'm Yours' and the Camp Rock 2 song 'Introducing Me.'
"I heard the song, and it was just a tremendous, tremendous horror of a tune. I noticed a few similarities in the melody, but it wasn't enough to pick up the phone and argue with somebody about it. If anything, I just wanted my $1.29 back that I spent on iTunes,"
Ouch. The Jonai can add that salt to the wound. The trio's show, 'Jonas L.A.,' was canceled this week. Click HERE for that story…
Meh, sure it sounds similar but I doubt that Nick actually sat down to write a song about cheese smelling like feet or whatever the devil was the point of that song. (No, I don't troll the Disney channel. I am not Wilmer Valderrama.)

It's easy to be a Jew on the Westside or in the West Valley. The nonobservant or even the alienated can be part of the Jewish ambience, especially in places like Pico-Robertson or parts of Ventura Boulevard.
It's different in the Southland's far suburbs. Elections aren't swung by the Jewish vote nor are hotel banquet rooms full of Jewish political contributors. There is a scarcity of Jewish religious, educational and cultural institutions and even delis.

Exploring the use of iPads and mobile devices in education.
What are the specs of the eqiupment you kolks are using to synch multiple ipads?
We have several solutions: 16 unit locker, and various configuration of carts. Our carts can do 32 or 48 iPads at a time.
USB hubs do not work well. We have products that use a circuit board that manage the syncing, in groups of 16, 32, or 49 ipads.
Here is another great solution.
I agree with Roger. Even though our school is pretty safe, we would not want to even tempt anyone into stealing the iPads or taking them out of the rooms for some unauthorized purpose. We also wanted something sturdy that would last a long time. The carts at http://www.ipadcarts.com/solutions/iPad_carts.htm have been great for that.
I purchased an iPad cart and it syncs all 30 of my iPad to one computer. The cart can be found in the Apple Store.

VA One way Fares 21.07.09
Tuesday 21 July 2009: V Australia continues to shake up the market with the introduction of super cheap one-way tickets between Los Angeles - Sydney and Brisbane offering more flexibility for travelers, which are on sale now.
While one-way fares are not new to the arena, V Australia is the first airline to offer one-way fares across ALL of its fare brackets, including its lowest lead-in fares, offering one-way tickets from just $359*, approximately 76% lower than the lowest one-way fare currently offered by competitor airlines^.
Virgin Blue Group Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said the initiative was another example of V Australia remaining open and adaptable to new ideas and championing change for consumers.
"The biggest joke in the industry was that for the cheapest and least-restrictive one-way fare travelers had to purchase a return fare and throw away the return portion. This was obviously good for the airlines, but not so for travelers and we're happy to be the first trans-Pacific airline to offer affordable one-way fares while removing the archaic 'advanced purchase conditions' and minimum stay requirements often associated with one-way tickets."
Currently trans-Pacific one-way fares on other carriers are only available in the higher fare brackets.
Brett Godfrey continued, "Effectively travelers get stung twice for even considering a one-way fare, which is usually exquisitely expensive coupled with extensive conditions.
"With V Australia's new 'freedom fare' we've certainly made it easier and much more affordable for those who want flexibility for their return flight, or only need to travel in one direction."
Availability of affordable one-way fares is great news for students, backpackers, expats and those on working holidays who may not necessarily have a firm return date.
If travelers are in doubt about their travel plans, buying a one-way fare will also negate any penalty fees that usually apply to the lower fare brackets if changes are made to a return flight after the booking is confirmed.
One-way fares from America are only available for purchase online at www.vaustralia.com with Guests able to purchase 'through fares' from Los Angeles to Sydney or Brisbane and onwards throughout Australia on Virgin Blue's extensive flight network.
One-way fares from Australia to America are only available for purchase online at www.vaustralia.com.au and do not include through fares via Los Angeles to other US destinations as operated by V Australia's code-share partners.
In addition to the one-way fare, for international visitors traveling on a budget around Australia and between Australia and New Zealand, the easiest and most flexible way to fly is with a Virgin Blue Airpass only available online at www.virginblueairpass.com. The Virgin Blue Airpass offers travelers set airfares from as low as AUD$69 per flight across a variety of Virgin Blue 'Fly Zones' (Quick Fly, Metro Fly, Coastal Fly, Cross Country). Travelers can 'mix and match' a minimum of three and a maximum of eight flights from any of the four fly zones, and up to nine Guests can travel together on the one Airpass.
^ Fares sourced on 20 July 2009 from www.qantas.com.au and http://travel.united.com.
For a one-way LA-SYD flight with Qantas for travel on 20 August 2009 the lowest one-way fare on sale was for $1491.
For a one-way LA-SYD flight with United for travel on 20 August 2009 the lowest one-way fare on sale was for $1490.
* There are no maximum or minimum stay requirements as part of the fare however length of stay in Australia is subject to applicable visa requirement. Fares are economy one way fares, and exclude government-imposed taxes, fees and the 9/11 Security Fee (collectively between $USD100 to $USD250 depending on itinerary). Prices are in US dollars and include applicable fuel surcharges. On sale from midnight (PST) July 20, 2009 until midnight (PST) August 4, 2009 (unless sold out earlier) for travel from July 20, 2009 to November 30, 2009. Fares are current as at July 17, 2009, are subject to availability and may vary until ticketed. Seats are limited and may not be available at peak times or on all flights. Available only for instant purchase online and fares are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled for credit to use at a later date. No stopovers are permitted. Connecting flights between Sydney and other Australian domestic ports are operated by Virgin Blue Airlines. Any Australian domestic travel can be booked through Virgin Blue. Tickets purchased through the Guest Contact Centre cost $15(USD) more.

They also previously received clearance from the FDA for a 612-patient Phase III trial in prostate cancer, and clearance from the FDA for Phase I trials in five other cancers. The company has also conducted a Phase I/II trial with DCVax®-L for recurrent metastatic ovarian cancer.
In the company's news yesterday,
Northwest Biotherapeutics announced that, working together with the Fraunhofer Institute (IZI), it has received approval of a $5.5 million grant from the Sachsische Aufbau Bank (SAB or Saxony Development Bank) in Germany. Funding for the grant has been provided by the German Federal State of Saxony and the European Union.
The grant will reimburse 50 percent of the manufacturing costs in Germany, as well as for NW Bio's clinical trial with DCVax®-L for brain cancer at up to 30 clinical sites in Germany.
NW Bio said it has made a strategic decision to settle in Leipzig, Germany, in the State of Saxony, and will establish its subsidiary there. Leipzig is also home to Fraunhofer Institute IZI, and is an ideal location for the entities because of the state's concentrated focus on regenerative medicine and cell therapies (including immune therapies).
Backed by the support of the State of Saxony, NW Bio said it plans to expand its development and long-term marketing activities for DCVax®-L in Europe. The German clinical sites will also provide domestic data for EU approval processes.
"After working closely for more than seven months on this grant application process with partners at Fraunhofer IZI, Bioville GmbH, the Translational Center for Regenerative Medicine and Cognate GmbH, we are excited and honored to be awarded one of the largest such R&D grants ever made by the Saxony Development Bank," Linda Powers, CEO of NW Bio stated in the press release. "This award will help us build our base in Germany, and accelerate our brain cancer clinical trial in Europe as well as the US, with some of the most respected institutions on both sides of the Atlantic."
