| Is it a night club? A bar or a restaurant? Actually they are trying to be all 3 at the same time! The place looks big on the outset, gold fish bowl door and entrance lounge/bar. Very 70's blue, green and pink neon lighting, Go further in and you are hit by a monolith black (sparkling marble?) central block of a bar. To the left and right you have seating areas which is meant for dining and drinking. A spiral open staircase (pick neon chase lights adorned) takes you to the restrooms. Which are clean(ish) where music is piped down to the speakers. - actually they play music in all areas. LOUD. \nIn the back is smaller bar with a place that can be cordoned off. I was explained this is used a a VIP area or large group private dining. The latter I had experienced and which was well organised, but not so in execution. They had a lack of waiters, well no actually, there were enough staff serving, but they hadn't allocated not enough serving staff to our group. Food was not delivered to all at the same time and drinks orders kept being messed up. This all caused our meal to last longer and we were still eating when the place turned full on night club (23:00) with gyrating people bobbing in your view when on your coffee and cake. \n\nOn a different visit the wife and I went for a romantic anniversary meal. Their menu is extensive and a little pricey. I found the waiting staff friendly but difficult to summon. Did I mention the loud music before? Try having a meal for two in the same room were people are shouting drinks orders and are dancing around handbags around you, while in the meanwhile trying to hold a dinner conversation. Fail. It is not a nice experience having to raise your voice and sometimes even shout to the person sitting next to you. As a result most of that meal was spend in silence and using eye contact and hand gestures. An experience? yes. Romantic? no.\n\nThe last time I visited was with few friends from Italy and Switzerland and we used a booth in the corner, and oh.. what is that white thing on the wall pointing into that booth? yes.. a loudspeaker. We persevered and with a few cocktails and several shots of vodka it was easily overcome - just huddle together and shout like you were giving instruction to a rugby team. Italians are very well adapt to this, they actually enjoyed themselves - so a hit for them and a good choice if you are into this kind of environment and atmosphere. Loud, lively, bubbly and no chance of a conversation (no way you can use a pick-up line under these circumstances)\n\nSo on all occasions it was the noise that ruined any experience of a nice evening, that... or maybe I am getting too old for this. |

| I've never been to Cedar point, so I can't compare it to that. But this is my favourite rollercoaster park ever! I've been to most, 6 flags, etc. \n\nWhy is this my favourite? \nBecause they have as many coasters as some of the bigger parks without being as well known. People don't drive from 3 states away to come here, so crowds aren't as large, but they still have 2 wooden coasters which are the best kind of coaster!\n\nI grew up in the area so this park was my life. And i'm due for a visit in a few months and make my demands to my family that I will not visit, unless a trip to Kennywood is on the books! We'll see how much they love me! |

| HONDA WEST ALMOST KILLED ME!\nI always come here for my oil change. Anyway, I had major service done here about a month ago and had oil change, clutch flush, brake fluids, spark plugs and one other thing done (I can't remember). Anyway, I went to Honda Culver City (los angeles) a week ago and they found that all 4 of my brake pads were \"dangerously low\" and that my car wasn't even safe to drive with brake pads that low. I think the service agent told me that the brake pads were 0.5mm. You can call Honda Culver City to verify. How can Honda West check my clutch, brake fluids and other stuff and not see that my brake pads are that low? I even told the service guy that I'm going to be doing a long drive and asked to check the car. Thanks for letting me drive my car when it's unsafe to do so. Apparently your customer's safety isn't your priority. I could sue you guys for this |

| I Love this place they have the best Burgers!! I find myself here on random Sundays and the ladies working here are great they have definitely been here for a long time and know everything on the menu!! The food is always great - i seriously always get a burger but we start with the wings with the sauce on the side and they are really good nice and crispy!! The BF gets the Fried Oysters Appetizer its a HUGE portion and plenty on there that he cant even finish himself!! The only thing I would say negative was we went when it was 100 out and it was pretty warm in there but they cant help it with an open kitchen. Its a great place in a great area! |

| First five stars I have given. This place is to die! My cousins brought me here with my niece for my birthday brunch. I have never been happier. Located atop the pool at the M Resort, its pretty easy to find and parking is a breeze as the M has plenty. The wait was nonexistent as we came on Friday mid afternoon, but expect a wait for Sunday Brunch. The decor is farmhouse meets fancy pants. We were seated overlooking the pool with a great view of the Valley just past. The server was very friendly and was nice enough to joke and play with my 3 yr old niece. For drinks, myself and one cousin ordered Pabst Blue Ribbon which were served in the can with a chilled glass. My other cousin, not one for spirits, ordered the Iced Pistachio Mocha. Wonderfully nutty, with a tasty espresso base. We ordered an Apple juice for the little one and were stoked to see a regular sized drink (in a plastic, covered, strawed cup) (none of that asshole-ish 4 bucks for a shot BS) and it was Simply Apple! For the food, we decided to get a Farmer's Daughter combo for the babe. The pancake was the size of her head! It also came with a side of eggs and sausage. The eggs are the one thing I didn't like. Something they put in them didn't sit well with my tastebuds. The sausage was grand. Two links that had a crisp skin, soft center and a faint lavender taste that surprised all of us. For the big kids we decided to split two plates among us as the portions are giant! We ordered the Sage Fried Chicken and Waffles and the Meatloaf Hash. The chicken and waffles came in the form of a giant tower of awesome! Four fresh waffles topped with two deep fried chicken breasts and a huge stalk of sage rising proudly from the center, capping the dish off at about 18 inches tall. The chicken was moist and juicy with a flavorful thin breading. The waffles had bacon cooked right into the center of them, that helped translate the sweet waffles and syrup to the savory chicken easily. It was topped with fried leeks, which also had great flavor. (try them). The Meatloaf Hash came in a giant skillet, with eggs, seasonal fruit and a hearty biscuit. The hash itself had fried potatoes, spinach and a medley of bell peppers, perfectly sweated and covered in ooey gooey cheese. The meatloaf itself had that perfect day old taste you'd expect for use in a hash. Phenomenal!!!! The biscuit was a classic recipe, nothing too special, but each table has a small jar of preserves. These may be seasonal, but the spread du jour was a mix of peach and apricot. There was no label on it, you could literally taste both of those fruits distinctly. If all of this wasn't enough, the presentation was astounding. Every few moments another giant fortress of food would emerge from the kitchen. You can tell they take great pride in every piece of culinary kitsch they send out. EVERYONE GO HERE! |

| Not a fan. \n\nLiving in Charlotte, NC for a couple years I got pretty familiar with US Airways as they have a choke hold on CLT. You can't get out of the frikken state on that airline for less than $400 no matter where you are going. Still it was the easy choice so I flew it a lot. Sometimes paying for convenience is worth it. \n\nRecently, I took them back from Jamaica with a layover in CLT and can't say I was too impressed. On one hand, they got us home earlier and adverted a potential delay. Plus, I was on a couple of the newest planes (complete with wi-fi) I have ever been on. \n\nOn the other hand, they cut our layovers so short it made us run for every plane! They charged $25/bag for an international flight (I didn't even know any airlines charged for the first bag on international - apparently US Air is one of only a few). Oh and they didn't seat my husband and I together, even though none of our flights were full and they easily could have!? \n\nI think I will skip them in the future. |

| They had excellent customer service and did a great job however they weren't honest with me about their prices. The nail tech was trying to get me to upgrade my full set to a gel, so I asked her the price of the upgrade and she said it was only 5$ more however (after she did it) I was charged 20$ more! it was just too much for me I would of never agreed to it had I known the true price. just so everyone knows they charge 45$ for a full set with gel polish. I'll say again they did a good job, and if they had been honest about the price I would return again but I don't appreciate being lied to. |

| I was looking for a place off the strip, just didn't feel like dealing with parking and then walking through a long line of slot machines to get something to eat. So Yelp to the rescue. We were right by the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel so we decided to give it a try. \n\nThe waitress was friendly and we were immediately seated. \n\nI took the advice of my fellow yelpers and immediately ordered the puffy pretzel bites with cheese fondue. Oh my gosh just order them. You get a basket of 12 warm pretzels. They are not hard and accompanied by cheese fondue. Perfect for sharing. \n\nWe then shared a turkey burger which was also excellent. What I liked most about the place was that it was nice but not too pretentious. After all, it is VEGAS. We weren't ordering a lot of food and we didn't get any attitude. There were some dressed up people but others were casual. They have a pretty big beer and whiskey list.\n\nThey had a live musician playing on a stage. The music was entertaining but not overpowering. It was a cold and rainy day but if not I would love to sit outside on the patio- they have fire pits- a great place for a big group. |

| I've been to numerous clubs in Vegas but so far, this is the best club I have been to. The wait is ridiculous, but if you have $$$ get bottle service, or if you have homies in Vegas with hook ups, call them! It is definitely worth the hassle. You want to look good, dress sexy, and bring lots of cash and credit to buy drinks. Drinks cost lots...but everywhere in vegas its muy expensive! This place has one of the largest patios near their pool to chill, smoke, meet people, and chat throughout the long hours of the night til dawn. The dance floor is pretty big too, not too crowded. It opens up into the patio area, so the place is well ventilated. You can even dip your feet in the pool if it starts sweating in your sandals to rid of any vinegar smell you may have developed haha. Vegas always has a good diverse crowd with a DJ who places music to fit everyone's taste. I think the fact that this place is huge, and the patio is huge, and the fact that everyone wants to go somewhere new, this place is definitely the spot! \n\nPlanning a bachelorette or bachelor party? do it here. My girl and I met so many people about to get married and had their bottle service there. Its super expensive so be ready to let go of some ends! It was even fun with just me and my girlfriend, dancing the night away, walking around and chit chatting w/ everyone. The main thing is, you CAN walk around, you CAN see people, AND even better, no long lines to go pee! It's not super crowded or dark like Tao. LOL. \n\nSo if you're planning to go to Sin City, XS should be on your itinerary for sure! |

| My son and I had lunch here last Friday, June 7. He had the eat all you can sushi and before sleeping that night, he vomitted once and all throughout the night, probably vomitted about 8 more times that finally ended in him ending up in the emergency room of Summerlin Hosp early morning Saturday for food poisoning, as explained by the ER physician. Some of the sushi my son ordered did not look fresh and I told him that but he said its taste ok but I what does a 15yo know about what's fresh or not. I should have tasted it before allowing him to consume the sushi. I thought about what could have caused this incident w him and I can only put my finger on the sushi. \nNot coming back here again. |

| Had a bad experience here. Firstly, I ordered the pizza which looked fantastic but had zero flavor. Zero. There was literally no flavor. I very nicely said this to the waitress when she asked. I was offered something else so I ordered gnocchi which was good. The sauce was underwhelming but not bad. My husband got steak which was cut in medallions. It was good, nice flavor and cooked just right. Pricey for the portion but good. Would order again good. Here's the rub; I would have been willing to try Amaro again had it not been for the classless way the owner handled the fact that I didn't care for the pizza. She came to the table for all of 3 seconds and then charged us $8.00 for the pizza because we \"ate a piece.\" Given that I didn't ask to replace the pizza and was never told about the charge until the bill came it just hit me as rude. I paid $8 for one PC of flavorless pizza. And the general attitude shift after I was honest about not liking it. And btw I was nice about it. Really nice about it because it was just bland for me. Someone else may like it just fine. It's not so much the money as the rude service. I don't mind paying for a nice meal. But part of that is service. Can't support this place. |

| In theory, Tessaro's is exactly what you want -- a casual neighborhood joint in a great location with an acclaimed product. In practice, it's not very pleasant to go there. I don't think they want us there. Every interaction seems designed to make people feel awkward.\n\nThe burger itself -- the actual cooked meat -- is indeed good, but they have no interest in all the other stuff that turns cooked meat into a hamburger experience. The buns are poor quality; they absorb juices and toppings so they get sloppy and disgusting after a few bites. The burger just falls apart in your hands (or onto your lap). You have to finish it with a fork. \n\nThey don't serve French fries, and they seem affronted when you ask for some. This is a bizarre, given that everything else about the place screams \"we have fries here!\" Why withhold fries from customers who surely have been asking for them every day for years? This hints at either a weird purist dogmatic sensibility, or deliberate sabotage. Why not serve fries *and* homefries? Are they afraid the fries will win, exposing the hollow sham that the homefries have been all along?\n\nI've come to believe that everyone at Tessaro's is under a spell where they must cook and serve excellent hamburgers, but they hate cooking and serving hamburgers. Everything about the restaurant that is not an actual meat patty is cleverly designed to keep you away. But you keep going back. \n\nHave some pity for the poor cursed Tessaro workers, and just go up the street to BRGR, or downtown to Winghart's. |

| Wow is a good way to start with. I was blown away with this show. Words are hard to put together to show how much i loved it! A Beatles Tribute it is, the music had everyone moving to the beat. It was AWESOME for me and the Wife to see. It was the best show we have ever seen. And the best of Cirque du Soleil, I'd have to say. |

| Sunday's are slow nights. They only open half of the club. Only two dancers are dancing at the same time. One is on the main stage and the other is on the far top of another stage...meaning you have a harder time seeing her dance if you are drinking at the main bar. Entry cost is $30 dollars. Drinks are about 13-16 dollars per beer. The waiteress are prettier than the dancers. VIP Tables cost extra. VIP rooms cost even more. Would I go there again...probably not. |

| I fly into Vegas once a year to make a trip to Utah to visit friends. I rent a car each time but this was my first experience with Dollar and will probably be my last. Yes, they came in the low end with the rates but still I was under the impression most rental cars were 'new'. The car I had was 2 years old and the filthiest rental car, I've ever had. The seats and steering wheels were sticky with soda spills. The car also had a strange odor. But worse, a couple of times along my trip the car sputtered but seemed to run ok. I told the guy when I turned the car in about the sputtering but he seemed unconcerned. The rental wound up costing twice the price quoted due to all the added fees and a mandatory insurance but that seems to be the case no matter what rental agency I use. |

| I got $0.99 problems but the Tuesday deal from Popeyes ain't one. 99 cents for two pieces of chicken hits the spot once in a while and Popeyes always come through. I don't come here often but it's hard not to take advantage of this deal. I always add some biscuits, they are delicious. Their chicken seems to be consistent and service is average for a drive thru place. |

| This review is for the Take Care Clinic more than the store itself.\n\na. The waiting line - 2 star - I really like the computerized check in system they have here. You can go on line or check in on their computer. It is totally cool, except that it takes a long time to check in. I am not sure if it saved my data from last time, I had to enter everything again. This thing is nice but very inefficient. \n\nb. The Nurse Practitioner. 5 star - I thought this person was really good and explained everything. Helpful, caring and efficient.\n\nc. Services offered - Saves you from having to pay high fees and long wait times at the other urgent care places. I think this is great.\n\nd. Privacy - Limited. As they start talking to you in the main reception area, everyone waiting in this small modest area can hear you. They end up taking you inside the room for more details, but the privacy is a bit sketchy in my book.\n\ne. Charges - We are under 60 but got the shingle vaccine. Cost is over 200.00 per person. This is standard as insurances will cover you after 60, but before it is on you. I accept this but the system they have and how you check in does not let you know this in detail. And, what is worse, the clinics billing is poor. I paid all my fees on Amex and still getting a bill to pay the fees from their central billing department. This bill is poorly done, not too much information and on the back there is no data on what to do if you dispute or anything like terms or conditions. \n\nI will come back again, as it is cheaper than urgent care, but this place is not too inviting as the experience is kind of blah. |

| Ordered 12 chicken wings and fries for pick up. Upon arriving at home, there were only 8 wings. Called in and server was apologetic for placing wrong order. Manager offered to make another 4 wings and for us to drive back to pick it up again, duuuuuh... Why would I drive all the way back for 4 wings??? I requested delivery or credit for next purchase. \n\nAlthough food was good, especially the fries, the manager was rude, unprofessional and confrontational. When asking how he can compensate, I said he need to start by changing his tone when speaking to customer. We all have bad day once in a while, but know your place when working in customer facing business. Manager said he would credit back in 48 hours. I would rate food as a 4, customer service however is poor at best. |

| By far my favorite Bar in Las Vegas! I love this place, everything from the elevator ride up to the open patio 55 floors on top of the world! The patio lets not forget has a glass panel that you can stand on and look down at the street!! When its warm out, the patio is the best place to enjoy your drink or grab a seat on one of the couches on either side of the roof. Its super chill when its not crazy packed but i enjoy it more when its a lounge with less people. I come here every time i visit and it has never disappointed me. Go see Cary, he's a cool ass bartender! |

| Hot dayummm! Their salsa bar alone is enough to keep me coming back. All four of their salsas are so good I could strap a bib on and chug em faster than a horchata. Especially the chipotle & the green salsas! The tacos are $2/each and come with a mountain of meat filling. Carne asada, and al pastor tacos are where it's at. Carnitas was good too. I was most impressed by the fact that the food was swimming in grease like most Mexican fare. We tried the cilantro fries, but they were a bit underwhelming with a small amount of carne asada, cheese, and cilantro with small sides of sour cream & guac. |

| My rating is for the customer service not the hotel. The hotel was great, good food with a lot of restaurants and Encore pool is a lot of fun. \n\nWhen I checked into the hotel the computer system was down and continued to stay down for quite amount of hours. I tried to get there early to set up the room since I was throwing a bachelorette party but couldn't get in and around 7:15pm I had to go talk to them again since we had dinner reservations at 7:45pm at another hotel and had to get ready still. The only reason they gave me one room key to only one of our rooms is cause I started crying. To top it off they call us at 1am to tell us our other room is ready but yet don't comp us for that night. They had the girls get ready in their spa and then check their luggage back in at the desk. \n\nOverall the only thing they did for us was give us food credit and comp the resort fee. I honestly believe they could have and should have done more for us since we only got one room at a time and the second room that was ready at 1am wasn't the right one, it only had one bed and the shower didn't work well so we had to have the girls in that room switch rooms again on Sat to one with two beds. \n\nThere was a lot of inconveniences at this hotel that I wouldn't have expected and will not stay there again because of this. There are plenty of other nice hotels that aren't as expensive and will treat you a lot better. |

| I really don't like hamburgers that much. I know this makes me un-American, but it is what it is. I was at one point dragged to this place since a bunch of friends were meeting up and I wasn't about to miss out on fun times because I don't like burgers. So, I sucked it up and went. There is a huge cow mural on the wall, beckoning you to eat him, or one of his family members. So far, so good. I ordered a few drinks, all of which were very good (although pricey). I got the Kobe burger, and good God was it delicious! It melts in your mouth, and all of the flavor is there, stewing in the juices of this mighty burger. I have been back here several times since and without kicking and screaming. This is the only burger place I really enjoy coming back to. Also, the milkshakes are to die for (cookies n cream FTW!). Go check these guys out. Soooo yummy! |

| I can't even begin to say how many poor customer service experiences I have had here.\n\nWe used to do lunches a few times a week at my old job and Zipps seemed to be one of the regular spots, although I always made a fuss. Rather than being stuck in the office and miss out on the lunch gossip, I always opted to go, and EVERY time, it was the same old story...this place is never too busy during lunch, but service is slower than the second coming. It would take 1.5 - 2 hours for the small group of us to make it through lunch. Not to mention that after consuming my first beverage, the glass would remain empty, my number one dining pet peeve. \n\nI do have to say that I can't completely hate on Zipps because their food really is good. They have awesome nachos and sandwhiches. I have never been disappointed with the quality of my food. And when I was having a calorie splurge day, Zipp's pizookie was the perfect way to do it! \n\nZipps gets a 2 star rating from me, but if they get their service act together, we can negotiate a better score... |

| And yet another negative report.\n These guys, lemme tell ya...\nThe only reason why I even used this service was that they were across the street from my work place. They get the one star for convenience. \nBut the fellow there had me in line already and just because a couple of others had completed their service, he told me, \"Let me take care of these guys first.\" \nI had come in for an oil change, and I asked if there was an extra charge for rotating tires. They said no. I asked them how long, they said maybe an hour. So, I indicated to them to call me when it is done.\n3 hrs later, I called them to find out if it was done yet. They put me on hold for 4 minutes. They told me it would be ready when I get there. \nSo, I went back and stood behind one other guy, and made eye contact with the same guy who prepared my order earlier. He left the counter area to find out what was going on. He returned and said, \"Give me a minute, lemme just take care of this guy.\" So, I had to wait again. \nWhen he got my keys for me, he added, \"Oh, they forgot to rotate your tires.\" \nSo, to summarize: they are slow with oil changes(3 hrs), they are inconsistent with who gets helped first (they selectively choose who gets helpe first rather than who's in line), they lie about how fast they can do something (they said 1 hr), and they don't do everything they promised to do (didn't do the tire rotation).\nI wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. |

Customer service is poor.\nSo I am setting up for the party and notice MOLD yes MOLD on the fruit and cheese platter. Then I notice that I only have half my order of grape leaves. I called them and Wendy walks into the party with a replacement platter. By that time my guests knew there was an issue with the food. How Embarrassing! \nI agree with a past post that they are a bit rude at times too. \nThey may be known for their cakes but I would steer clear from the catering.\nNEVER AGAIN |

| I do not care how low the rates may be I will never stay here again. We recently went on a girls weekend and stayed here. At check in the lady was like a robot. No expressions, no warm welcome, nothing. We went to our rooms that we were told connected and they didn't. We were ultimately given 4 sets of rooms and shuffled back and forth from the east and west towers before our bellman finally got us two rooms that connected. He was the only helpful employee our entire stay at the Luxor. Multiple times the valet only opened the driver's door and walked away. When we called to ask about details of the pool the answer we were given was, \"Well, we have one.\" I will never stay here again and I will encourage my friends and family to do the same. |

| I guess there is no way to really make Amtrak improve by making a one-star review, but I think it's awful how expensive it now is to go to Chicago given the quality of the service. I live in Stockholm now and was entertaining notions of going back to Champaign to do another degree, but really...it's an isolated place if you don't have a car. It shouldn't be a big deal to go to Chicago. It shouldn't use up all my money or my patience. I've had 11 hour delays on Amtrak! Chicago is a major travel hub and the closest major city. The fact that it is so difficult to get to hurts the University. \n\nSweden benefits enormously from having fast, relatively cheap, and hassle-free railway. I don't have to sit on a cramped bus next to a McDonalds eating elementary school kid or endure six hour delays on a crappy train to get to places like Oslo and Copenhagen. I'm bragging now, but UIUC needs Amtrak to shape up. |

| Last night was my 2nd visit back to this place and I left oh-so-happy about it! I often got this confused with Pita Pit, but the two restaurants are very different. This one you sit down and are served. Both times I went on a Friday night after a movie and it was a little crowded. There may be waiting if there are more than 2 of you, but it's not a long wait if you do. The first time our waitress was good. Last night, the waiter was okay. I'm too busy eating and enjoying the food to really let that part bother me too much. Around 6-7pm last night, it was nice to sit outside on the patio since the sun had already gone down, but if you go earlier, there is shading over the patio.\n\nThe cilantro jalepeno hummus is \"Ah-mazing!\" Don't worry about it being too spicy, because it's just the right amount of spice that balances the cilantro flavor. \n\nThe pesto pizza is delicious! We added chicken though which made it more filling! \n\nAs other reviewers had said, it feels like everything is so fresh and you don't feel overwhelmed with gluttony once you are done. With the exception of the falafel, not many things are deep fried. Most foods here are grilled or baked. All of the meats and some veggies are marinated, so everything you order is full of flavor. |

| Gluten Free Creations is amazing. They have literally saved my life numerous Thanksgivings in a row for their superb gluten free bread crumbs so I could make my husband gluten free stuffing! They have provided me countless cupcakes, desserts, and tastings. They really are great. The service is fantastic and most notably- they offer MANY multiple allergen offerings. \n\nSince moving to CA and frequenting a few bakeries both in SF and in so cal, I've been so impressed by other business, that I'm I'm docking them a star. But not because they're not fabulous for Arizona, only because I've had mind blowing, out of this world GF, DF, and EF (egg free) doughnuts, pastries, cupcakes, and other baked goods in California and other parts of the country. \n\nI'm sorry Gluten Free Creations...It's not you, it's me! Thank you for all the wonderful products and service you gave for so many years. You're fabulous, and I wish you all the very best! \n\nOne thing I do have to say is that even though I live in the land of gluten-free living (San Francisco) I have yet to find a GF bakery that competes with Gluten Free Creations for offering egg-free baked goods.

| If you are looking for a great Chicago style pizza, this is the place to go! The atmosphere here is excellent and they have a decent selection of wine and beer, especially or a pizza joint. Our server was Marissa and she was excellent! We ordered the Guaca-Tony, which is basically homemade guacamole and their \"chips\", which is more like a chip pizza...it was fantastic!\n\nHighly recommended for pizza!, |

| I'm not the sort of person that would normally visit a small specialist music shop like Avalanche. I do love music though, and have my iPod on at some point nearly every day. I decided to break my duck in this area, and popped in just a few days ago.\n\nInside, this place is a welcome change from the HMV of this world. The selection is varied, with prices starting from very low. They have some of the chart CDs, and a selection of vinyls and LPs as well. I will be making sure to come in here for my next music purchase.\n\nA couple of things that I noticed on my visit. Firstly, there was no music playing in the background, which is surely something that you'd expect from a music shop. Secondly, the guy in there was on the phone during the whole time I was in the shop, even serving a customer whilst maintaining the conversation. I can't be sure if this was a particularly important call or not, but I'm sure he could have put the phone down to look after his customers.\n\nThis is a minor quibble however, as the other reviewers all speak so highly of this place. Judging by the sign on the front, they're going to be relocating soon, but I'm sure that music fans across the city will be able to enjoy Avalanche for a long time yet.\n\n[Insert suitable avalanche-based pun.] |

| I just recently discovered thrift shopping. Yes, I know, it's as if I was living under the rock. Anyhow, I think this is mu favorite thrift store. It is wide, has good selection and almost always some discount is going on. I usually buy small kitchen appliances (why spend $80 on bread maker, when they have several great ones to choose from, all for $6). Clothes is hit and miss, as it is with any thrift store, but if you have time and nerves to stop by often, there are some really nice finds there. |

| Nice venue! I saw Celine Dion here and there's nothing quite like 22,000 crazy Quebecois who love their native girl. \n\nDespite the massive volume of people at the event, the crowd flowed smoothly and there wasn't much of a backup anywhere. Found my seats easily each time I went, and the security checkpoint was QUICK! High marks to them for organization. \n\nMy only complaint was the restrooms... too few restrooms, and the water pressure for the toilets was horrible due to way too much usage all at once. There were more women in attendance than men, so maybe that was why it was so bad. |

| Discovered Tryst (Organic) Cafe shortly after it opened about 2+ yrs ago. Have had breakfast, lunch & dinner there. They have organic everything - food, beer, wine, even vodka - which is what drew me at first. Also many gluten free choices.\n\nThey've had their ups & downs with service, but it's usually good. The happy hour is limited and should be improved in both hours & choices.\n\nMy wife & I both love their Seered Ahi Tuna Salad, it's fantastic! We both want and need a good organic cafe in the area and hate to see the pizza place next door packed while the healthy restaurant is lightly filled. Help Tryst thrive! |

| Are you a health nut with boat loads of cash? \n\nIf so, this place is for you, otherwise, not so much. I can't argue with the notion of healthy, unprocessed, organic food, but this place takes it too far. Consider the beverage choices, ranging in price between $3-5. Offerings include the Red Moon (pink grapefruit, yuzu, agave and soda) and Andy's Elixir (olivella juice, agave nectar and soda water). I Googled olivella juice when I got home and it's made from sea buckthorn berries? In fairness, when I asked the waitress about the bizarre beverage offerings, she told me that Pepsi products were available, but not on the menu. \n\nThe food menu encompasses a range of odd ingredients such as kale, tempeh, Anasazi beans, and tofu lettuce cups. To be \"safe\" I ordered the Teriyaki Brown Rice Bowl. The entree was 90% vegetables, containing minimal chicken and even less rice. It was so dry; I kept digging for even a pocket of teriyaki sauce. Even so, the dish was artfully presented. \n\nThe man behind the True Food's brand is Dr. Andy Weil. While I admire him as a physician and originator of integrative medicine, I think he should stay out of the restaurant business. |

| Stripsteak sucked. My steak was overcooked, the trio of pureed potatoes or whatever they call it was a joke, and the trio of \"duck fat\" fries must have been fried in 5% duck fat or something, because they tasted like something Burger King would serve (except for the white truffle ones, but how can you screw that up, really?).\n\nThe three pureed potatoes dishes were lobster, which, while I love big chunks of lobster, tasted like an experiment on how to get starchy potatoes and a bag of white flour into a pasty goo reminiscent of gruel which clung so steadfastly to the lobster chunks that it didn't offer the opportunity to salvage them from the muck, the sour cream and chive version, almost as gooey and I guess was worth one taste, and the third, horseradish, I guess was supposed to be some kind of traditional take on wasabi mashed potatoes you would have seen on every menu five years ago.\n\nService wasn't anything to brag about either. This is another one of those places where they really need to train their waitstaff a little better. For this kind of money and they large crowd it draws, they should be watching for your fork and knife to come together on the plate in the interest of turning the table over. We waited a long time for our check, and I think they only took notice when I got up to use the restroom. |

| An unexpected treat from my \"auntie\" from France and a nice gesture by an employee to move my cane-assisted 'uncle\" to the front of the long line got Saturday evening started right. Well, almost right because I hadn't been preparing all day for a buffet...\n\n(Ironically, the seater then made us walk, uncle and all, all the way to the back corner of the place.)\n\nDecent amount of variety, although a lot of it wasn't premium buffet stuff. King crab and prime rib were obviously the best picks overall, but I liked a lot of the other dishes, including the 4th of July special pulled beef with baked beans, the lamb kebobs and baba ghanouj, the fried shrimp (overly battered but still good), the italian sausage... mmm. Desserts were good too, especially the creme brulee and apple pie for me. Also, that frozen custard just somehow tastes different from the usual frozen yogurt...\n\nOverall, it was a great meal, but not quite an unforgettable variety of victuals.\n\nP.S. A foursquare check-in at the proper Planet Hollywood Resort can get you $5 off for this buffet. |

| Honestly, don't waste your money and go to Laser Quest. If you have the unfortunate timing to have issues with the workings of the business while Vinny is in charge, nothing will get solved. Vinny is one of the owner's relatives and treats you exactly like one would expect - terribly because he can get away with it. He will smirk at you like a sleezy used car salesman, if it wasn't already obvious that since he already has your money, there's nothing he's willing to do for you. \n\nThey allow too many people into each game (up to 60) so if you have problems with your pack, which has likely a 25% chance of failure, you are forced into a cycle of being shot and not able to play since everyone else got a 30 second start. \n\nAlso, if they're having a special that you call to confirm, be advised that the employees may not give you all of the information needed to get the special, such as the need to physically print coupons, and, of course, Vinny will do nothing to remedy the situation. \n\nTL; DR: Save your time, money, and frustration and go to Laser Quest, where you also get to make up silly player names. |

| My wife and I went here for happy hour on a Thursday evening and were disappointed with the customer service we received. Let me start with them advertising 1/2 off draught beer and wine by the glass. It began when I ordered a Dogfish 90 Minute IPA which there was clearly a problem with as both the server and bartender were pouring tasters to taste it. Regardless, they served me the beer with zero mention of a problem. After trying the beer I called the server over and reported that it was extremely flat. To which he replied \" I was affraid of that. The keg is out of CO2.\" Okay then, thanks for serving me a flat beer that you tasted and knew was bad!\n\nAlright then, well Ill have the Odell Double black IPA off the menu. \"No sir we are out of that beer.\" Okay, then Ill take the Odell Double Pils. The server disappears and comes back to ask if I want the 12 oz or 17 oz. I reply \"well since it is happy hour ill take the one that is on happy hour.\" To which the server replies \"that beer is not on the happy hour menu.\" Perfect so the Dogfish is bad, the double black IPA is gone and the double pils is not on happy hour. \"Il have the the 4Peaks Pumpkin Porter sir.\" Luckily my beer arrives! \n\nNow ordering appetizers. They are completely out of wings so no parmesan or the other flavor they had. Bummer. Luckily the ribs they had were great! A great cherry cola sauce. Also, the red pepper slider burger with grilled onions was delicious. No complaints with the taste of the food. Just surprised they are completely out of wing which made up 2 of the 8 items on their happy hour menu. \n\nThen, when the check came we were charged full price on the beer to which the server came back and said \"that pumpkin porter you ordered was NOT on the happy hour price.\" Really! I asked 2 times for beers that were on the happy hour price and when you greeted us you mentioned that we were seated in time for happy hour. Also, you guys were out of my first 2 beer selections and had to decline me on another that again wasnt on the happy hour price. Plus the wings we wanted you guys also didn't have. Then we were inadvertently charged non-happy our prices on the ribs that needed to be corrected.\n\nLastly, as my wife and I were discussing the rather unique (awful) service we received the owner overheard us walking out and asked \"Did we have a problem with something??\" Really? You are gonna charge after us and ask if there was a problem when we are halfway to our car? After explaining the whole beer fiasco and the confusion they create with \"happy hour prices\" on select draughts the owner didn't apologize once for anything (lack of advertised druaghts, lack of wings, incorrect charges) and basically sent us on our way. Im still not sure what beers are on Happy Hour prices because the server won't let you know and there is zero clarity in the actual bar. Super disappointing experience. |

| Our first mistake was deciding on where to go for dinner a little late in the evening. When we arrived I was super hungry. We had two servers, neither of which could seem to serve us with any decency in speed or clarity. By the time our food arrived, I felt like I had already been in the restaurant way too long. There were quite a few other patrons in the place, but it wasn't packed with a wait to be seated. \n\nMy second mistake was assuming that Tea is unflavored. No, it's Passion Fruit Tea. Adam Carolla has a rant about Passion Fruit Tea, and I am thinking of joining his Army after my experience at Mezzo. All she had to do was to give me a heads up. Heck, I might have even ordered it even knowing, but when I took a sip of my tea, expecting a familiar taste only to find that I had been fooled. \n\nMy food was good, but maybe it was just because I was so starved by the time it arrived that I would have enjoyed a shoe just as much. \n\nI can say ONE positive thing about Mezzo, and it's that their Pizza Frittes dessert is PHENOMENAL! They're fried dough bites with powered sugar, similar to bits of funnel cake. I ordered mine to go (since we had been there so long that I felt like I had moved into the place), and they piled them high in the take out box. They were even good the next day. I would go back to Mezzo just for the Pizza Frittes but definitely get them to go....without the tea. |

| Damn, just... damn...\n\nGreat, great deep dish pizza. Comparable to Chicago pizzas (well, maybe better because is cheaper).\n\nThe waiting is long, but give them a credit cause its said on the menu (45min minimum waiting). Well, if you go with friends, just order some pitcher and wait for it having a nice conversation.\n\nI've been here twice, and just loved.. the price is a bit out of the average cirty range, but its worth it.\n\nI would add that the price difference between the Original Sicilian Pan and the Suer Stuffed Pizza is not worth it. The super stuffed only comes with and extra layer of crust above the pizza. You get more by ordering a original sicilian with more toppings. |

This is me being generous.\n\nI came in to buy a new case for my iPhone, which turned into buying two new cases (one for my new \"let's run a marathon for a charity venture\"). I was exhausted from a stressful morning, so I wasn't quite with it....so I am putting the onus on \"Silvia\", the Apple \"Specialist\" who was \"helping\" me. Help is putting it mildly. I had to deal with her typical condescending attitude (yes, I know...it's an Apple store).\n\nIn any case, she proceeded to sell me two iPod touch cases without correcting me. If I had a normal day, I would've picked up on it, but I was put through the ringer in earlier in the day. \"Silvia\" should've known better than to sell me two different iPod touch cases for my iPhone4. \n\nThere was one positive though. She did help get my phone out of it's current case, which was a bit challenging, but then she undid her kind deed by complaining about how she chipped her nail to other customers and blamed me for it while I walked away. \n\nThis morning, I came back, to return my cases. I saw \"Silvia\", but I chose to go with another \"Specialist\", who was happy to take care of me. This \"Specialist\" then informed all the other \"Specialists\" that they need to keep an eye on what they are selling, and make sure it's for the right item.\n\nTo the new \"Specialist\": Thank you. To \"Silvia\": I hope you took a lesson from this.\n\nEliteness.... |

| I never really had Indian food in Vegas, but wanted to try some nice place. The reviews for this place and Tamba were nice, but wanted to find some place off the strip and with easy parking so picked Mint.\n\nThe place looks little shady from outside, the plaza was dark and the restaurant did not seem very brightly lit from outside. But don't worry it's a great place from inside. The decor is nice and upscale. It's a quite place, with comfortable seating. The lights could be brighter. There were few other table's occupied (All by Indians) - A good sight if you are looking for true Indian spicy food and not tamed down for the American population. \n\nThe waiter was nice, pleasant and took out his iPhone while talking to us. Realized within minutes he was noting down our order with an app from the app store. Also said they own a software company and are going to start using their own app in some time.\n\nComing to the main part! FOOD! It was really good. \nWe ordered Mint Lassi and Masala Chhas. Both were very Indian and really tasty. \nTheir Menu is very well organized. Great for Vegetarians and Vegans since each item says if its good for vegetarians or vegans. Very happy to see how they describe each item in the menu really well. One of the best organized Menu's among all restaurants (Comparing to all Indian, American etc. restaurants).\n\nFor the main course we ordered Paneer Makhani, Daal Makhani and Chole With Naans. Everything was really good. Daal Was very tasty, although the color might make you think its not the best, but trust me the taste is nothing short of what you find back home. Naan's were also very good. \n\nThey also have Nepalese food but did not try it, but would love to try that too. \nOverall great place if you are looking for true Indian Food. Would definitely go back again. |

| One month! Why didn't I follow my one month rule? I usually wait a month after a restaurant opens up before going there for dinner, but I haven't been to Binkley's or Cafe Bink before. With all the great things I heard, I had to go to Bink's Midtown as soon as I could. I regretted it.\n\nMy girlfriend and I went on a Saturday night and waited to talk to the hostess. We waited a while, and I started to see what was happening up front. The guy ahead of me said.. \"hey, what's going on? do we have a table or should i wait outside.. what do you want me to do?\" they finally told him his table was ready. \n\nMy turn came up and I sat there for 5 minutes watching them take one page after another and clip them together. Why didn't they do this before hand? We were seated right next to the front door, but I would have rather been in the more inviting living room. At least I wasn't seated outside where it was freezing.\n\nOur water came out promptly, but we waited 10 minutes before the server came. We ordered a carafe of wine and waited another 15 minutes before that came out.\n\nService aside, I was excited by the menu. We ordered the beets, leeks, risotto, mussels, parsnip soup, sweetbreads, beignets, squash, and brussel sprouts. The waiter's eyes went a little wide, and he grabbed the table next to us to make more room. Five minutes later the hostess came by and asked if we were expecting more people and why we didn't tell them? I felt offended that they thought I pulled over a table and didn't say anything to them. I explained the situation, they paused, and he walked away.\n\n20 minutes later. yes, 20 minutes later. our food finally arrived. Of course, as they were putting the food on the table, they knocked over a glass of wine on to my girlfriend. She somehow ninja'ed her way from getting anything spilled on her. The worse of it all though, was she had to ask 2 different people to replace her glass of wine.\n\nThe food was some highs and lows. The foei gras donuts and mussels were okay. The leaks, beets, and risotto were great. We especially loved the cheeks in the leaks.\n\nOverall though, I just wasn't happy with the place. The service was horrible, and the staff had no energy or personality. With all the waits we endured, I just can't recommend this place to anyone at all.\n\nWhat's worse is I give the valet my ticket and watch him almost stall out my car 3 or 4 times while trying to back up.\n\nMy two cents. Stay away for a few months. Maybe then things will get better. |

| The gym facilties are adequate and very clean and the classes are good. I would give Gold's Gym a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the billing practices. \n\nMy husband and I signed up almost 2 years ago and at the time were signed in to a 2 year contract paying around $17 a month as our big corporate discount. Since that time Gold's has offered a $9 month to month membership as long as you don't participate in classes which we don't. I called to see what we would need to do to switch to the reduced program and was told that we would not be able to until our original contract was up and then we would each need to pay $100 to reduce to the lower $9 month to month membership. \n\nAs a customer it feels like you are being punished for being loyal and signing up before the other month to month members. It seems to me that if I was willing to sign up for 2 years knowing I would have to pay every month that I was in for the long haul which may not be the case with your newbie month to monther's. I personally do not feel members should be penalized if they signed up before Gold's offered this new membership. I am a good customer and was considering signing up for personal training until I realized this company's billing policies. Now I don't want to hand over another penny over what I am obligated to pay and I will likely move over to YouFit or LA Fitness in the few short months when my contract is up. |

| Ok before I get started, I should point out that my 2 star review is solely based on the length of time waiting for the main entr\u00e9e to arrive (to which Paul Martin DID make up for that!)\nYes, this place is about 2 weeks old and some of the wait staff (at least where we were seated, on the patio) seemed to be very new. No problem...I've been a newbie before too. Our server was a little over the top with the constant mispronunciation of \"beautiful\", he kept saying \"bootiful\" and he kept reaching over us to remove empty dishes from the table; he just needs a little more training and seasoning and he'll be fine.\nThe appetizer was a grill artichoke that we shared and it came with this great tasting garlic, pesto and basil aioli. We devoured that in a short period of time.\nNext, we split the French Dip sandwich; the meat was a little too fatty and even though we split the dip, I mean c'mon Paul Martin, you can spare a decent amount of the au jus, can't 'cha?? The au jus was served in this way too small and too deep Japanese teacup-like container which it made it difficult to \"dip\" our French dip. The horseradish/mayonnaise dip was creamy and good, pretty standard. The shoestring fries was done well and crispy.\nWe also had the mac and cheese that had pieces of prosciutto in it and it was a unique taste, the broiled top was nice and crunchy!\nWith that being said, our wait time after we got the appetizer was way too long and appeared isolated however that is my biggest pet peeve is the food took too long AND it seems that I am the one who has to recognize it and point it out to the staff. Once I let the server know that it's taking a long time, it was then he let his manager know. Manager addressed us and was nervous about approaching us (he seemed to be a young and new manager as well) and he did his best in explaining the situation but it was painful watching him stumble (ok, not so painful as amusing). \nWhen the food did arrive, it did come out nice and hot so that was a plus! They also comped our meal as a way of apologizing for the delay. \nA golf clap for the food...and since they showed that in the end it is about customer satisfaction, we are going to try Paul Martin again. |

| This place is straight up ghetto! Parking is horrible, cracks and bumps everywhere. Homeless people on the corners asking for money. Stores are smelly and cold and dirty and old and creepy looking. This is not even close to a mall. Nearly half empty. \n\nLove the bahn mi shop inside (the best sandwiches ever!) Love the fresh steamed pork buns and other baked goods!),..love the varity and prices of products..worth the drive out there...\n\nPho restaurants are nasty,..as in the decor (covered in thick thick dust), ceilings have stains, dark and just make me loose my appetite. How can this place be opened? Imagine the kitchen..inspectors need to shut this strip down and remodel and update!!! \n\nThe store that sells kitchen ware has good selection and prices. Shop owners and workers are shady...they follow you around and stalk and stare you down as you in walk and browse around the aisles to make sure you don't steal anything! |

| It was okay, but \"Meh, I've experienced better.\" We were a party of 6 on a Thursday night. They made it clear that they close by 9:30pm and that they were ready for us to go. However,the server was pretty friendly and fast.\n\nThe food was just okay. The rolls were very average at best, not tightly rolled. The Catepillar roll had a very sweet eel sauce (more like a maple flavored sauce) and it was hard to eat. We had to remind them that our order was not all complete...perhaps in the rush to get our food out so we could leave by the time they closed, they may have overlooked or order. \n\nI'm confused about how this place got such high reviews, since they didn't even come close in my experience. |

| I've been talking about this search for the perfect reuben for so long that people are starting to wonder. I figured that I'd better start documenting this search lest people begin to question my dedication to the task at hand.\n\nI hadn't been to Ella's since I relocated to Madison 7yrs. ago. So I figured that this Madison Institution would be a good place to start. So, the sandwich was pretty decent. The corned beef was delicious and not too greasy. I don't know why they don't serve it on a dark rye, like most every other place I've had one (we'll forget the sourdough I had once in the north woods). Loss of points here. My only other gripe would be that they could have spared some fries and made a bigger sandwich.\n\nThe reason for the two star rating is the service I received. I was one of maybe four customers in the whole place (everyone else was already seated and eating when I arrived), and it still took ten minutes for a staffer to bring a cup of water. The server's demeanor was short and far from sweet.\n\nSo, bring the kids to Ella's. That's the demographic they're going for. It's like Chuck-E-Cheese for the pre-teen steampunk crowd. If you're looking for a decent reuben in Madison, get it to go. |

| Visited for lunch on Sunday after several attempts to find them open for dinner failed. I did watch the Investors show but since I live very nearby and was a customer of previous business I looked this place up in Yelp prior. Which is how I knew about the show. \nBut onto to food and such. We were greeted by the owner/ wife Caroline and she took our drink order immediately. The Mr. ordered the Philly sandwich and I choose the Seoul burger. We both choose garlic fries.\nI was pretty happy with mine. Maybe a tad more salt on the burger, but it was good overall. The Philly, which I tasted and agree with my Mr. was bland and the meat was seriously lacking in flavor and seasoning. The fries were good though. \nThe service was.... there. She was attentive. Then not. But Robert the chef/owner checked on us and the food was good. Not as stupendous as I was led to believe but I just might go back. \nI have one issue that I find unacceptable at any restaurant. Lack of cleanliness. The floor clearly had not been scrubbed completely in weeks, the rug by the front door needed to be vacuumed. The silver used around the restaurant is dirty. I didn't get close enough to look at the kitchen. It is open so I could have. I am not saying they don't clean. Just that they need to do better. \nSo if you are looking for a tasty burger and some decent but average garlic fries, stop in here, but get it to go unless you like dirty diner chic. I am going to give the chef credit for keeping a clean kitchen. I hope I am right. |

| First, you have to be transferred to so many people before finally someone can understand an issue. I have had service to my water heater and to my air conditioning. The water heater guy was a complete cocky a**hole, not only called 10 minutes before the last possible time he could be here (they told me between 9-12p) and said it'll be another hour or so, no apology. Once he arrived, he said I needed a whole bunch of \"up to code\" stuff. When I checked with other companies, they said I didn't need all that. Air Pro had to do the install per home warranty, but I got the un needed charges that I was told by the water heater guy that I \"needed\" off, it was $120 worth of stuff not covered by home warranty. The comment by Maggie about the \"required\" disposal for $180 also was told to me, when I looked into it, I found out it's not required and I can do it myself.\nThe man that came out for the a/c was very nice and helpful, no problem with the a/c worker.\nI have a new issue with my AquaTherm system, something that works with my water heater to keep my house warm....something I obviously won't need to have run in the Summer....but it has been running,and gas bill is 3x what it should be, so I called my home warranty company and they sent the same a**hole from AirPro that installed my water heater. So unprofessional, he said \"who installed that water heater, cause they did a good job\". I didn't find it funny. He just looked at the AquaTherm and said there is nothing wrong with it, and he doesn't work on those, so I'll need to call the home warranty company back and Air Pro will need to send someone that works on the air conditioning, because it's those people who work on the AquaTherm....so that's what I did. I explained very clearly that it is not the a/c and not the water heater, but my AquaTherm system that needed repair, and I'm no tech, but my AquaTherm works with my water heater, so why does someone who works on a/c need to repair it? So Air Pro sends another person who can't fix it and they tell me it is a plumbing issue and they will have to call and schedule that.....who knows what issue it will be next, but this system running is costing me money each day and the people at Air Pro don't seem to care or want to help. |

| Went here while visiting my parents for Christmas. It is tucked in the corner right next to Paradise Bakery if you have a hard time finding it. \n\nThis is basically Chipotle for pizzas. They have set salads & build your own salad as well. My parents chose this option and they really enjoyed their salads, but they are pretty big so they were unable to finish them.\n\nThe line was decent size, but went very quick. The pizza options were broken down to several categories: sauce, cheese, meat, veggies, and fresh herbs. They do not charge more for adding any of the options (don't know if you ask for extra portions though). I suggest that you do not get fresh tomato, it makes the pizza very soggy afterwards. I made the mistake, don't repeat it! Other than that, my pizza was delicious! I also had the Pookie, just love that name! Don't be surprised, it is a normal sized cookie. I am so used to huge cookies done this way, but it's only $3 so you cannot expect too much. \n\nWarning, they do have Pepsi products! Boo! They also do have a nice selection of iced teas so that made up for the Pepsi faux pas. \n\nWill I be back? Definitely, but will not order the fresh tomatoes on my pizza. |

| One of my favorite pizza places in the city. The staff is really what makes this place. I used to work over in Greenfield and they got so used to seeing us and made us feel welcomed. You can tell they truly appreciate the business. Price wise everything is very reasonable and the food is great quality. You also get huge portions as well. I've had their pizza, breadsticks, hoagie and fries. All very good! When we ate at the shop, I really enjoyed their second dining room of to the side. It wasn't anything special, but they kept it very clean and have a TV. For those who would be interested, they also have beer to go. |

| I was really disappointed by the PH Suites.\nIt's kind of like Ikea furniture -- looks nice from afar, but come close & everything starts to fall apart.. \n\n1) There was not a single mirror in our room aside from the one in the bathroom - no full length mirror at all!!! Ladies & Gentlemen, this is a problem!\n2) Several of our dishes were dirty with caked up food/lipstick stain\n3) The mini fridge door would have to be lifted in order to shut\n4) The leather couch had white stains from I dont want to know what\n5) The maintenance forgot to stock the coffee\n\nWhen checking out, I mentioned a few of these things to the staff & instead of recieving an apology, I was told that the Suites don't come with mirrors...okay?!\n\nI have stayed at the Trump for the same rate in the SUMMER time (busier) \nand the room was 2x as big, 3x more luxurious, and had courteous staff! |

| Selection of sauces for the wings...excellent. Service staff a little pushy on try this or try this. This visit the server was pushing French fries that can be made with any of the wings sauces. Would be okay for those who eat fries...I do not. I have this thing about food joints with napkin rolled silverware. When there are no other napkins available you have a choice of placing your silverware on a table wiped with a dish towel of unknown cleanliness or going without a napkin so your silverware can rest on it. Had to ask for extra napkins so BWW doesn't get it. Food is quite good. |

| Located in the western end of Willy St, Wah Kee is the best Cantonese/Guangdong style Chinese food in Madison. If you regularly go to restaurants in North American Chinatowns, this place will bring back your memories! \n\nWah Kee's menu is huge and even includes some Thai/Vietnamese items, but the highlights are in its Cantonese selections. Anything in the Lo Mein section is pretty good. Wonton Lo Mein is my favorite. They made wontons fresh and they are among the best I had in this country. \n\nThey offer some really authentic appetizers. I recommend you to resist your urge to order spring rolls and try out \"fried turnip cake\", \"Yau Choi in Oyster Sauce\", \"Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf\", \"BBQ pork buns\", or \"scallion pancake.\" It's pretty rare that you can find these dishes in the Midwest. \n\nRice in Clay Pot is also Wah Kee's specialty. Expect some preparing time but they worth the wait. \n\nI wanted to give it 5 stars (as appeared in the very first version of the review) because it is such a bargain for budget foodies, but 4 stars probably will do justice to other Chinese eateries in town. Nonetheless, Wah Kee is one of the best meals you can get under $10 in the Madtown. |

| This is by far my favorite hotel / casino in Vegas. Yes I am a member of the player's club. Yes Joel Robuchon is here. Yes Ka is here. Yes yes yes yes.\n\nMy room here was.. wait for it... EPIC. I believe it to the best room I've ever had in Vegas. It was a suite with a view of the strip. The bathroom was enormous, and the tub (not that I would know) could fit at least... AT LEAST 6 people. I could basically swim across my tub.\n\nThe bed was fluffy, yet firm and comfortable. Or maybe I was just so exhausted that laying down anywhere would have felt like heaven. \n\nThis particular casino has a nonsmoking area with a cool bar in the middle that the bartenders get up and dance on. But its distracting. I learned roulette here, and I won, won won. \n\nCheck out the lions, and turn your dang flash off!\n\nThere are multiple starbucks in here. If you keep walking towards the back you'll find another one that has zero line. ;) |

| My friend and I stayed at the NRH for three nights during the Jazz Festival. It was pretty easy to get to. We took the 747 from the airport and got off at Stop #7 and walked 15 minutes up Bleury (which turns into Parc). On future days, we used the 80 which runs up and down Parc (good for getting up to Fairmount Bagel). You are roughly three blocks south of Parc-Royal.\n\nI made my reservations via fax and received an email confirmation within 12 hours. We stopped at the front desk and check-in was a simple process. We were given info on the wifi (which worked very well), and breakfast. We took the elevator up to the 10th floor and found our room at the end of the hallway. The room was modestly decorated in a classic dormitory style. That is to say, two of everything - beds, desks, dresser, and shelves. \n\nI thought the room was decent for the price we paid. Towels were solid, toiletries were by Bath & Body Works. TV was small, but manageable. If there was one disappointment, it was that the A/C was a little lacking. Not a big deal, but it meant I didn't need the comforter.\n\nAs mentioned, the location is great. You've got restaurants all around you, a grocery store a couple of blocks away, and Saint Laurent is three blocks east. The 80 bus stops outside the NRH, and McGill University is just a block up.\n\nKeep your expectations modest, and I think you'll be pleased. Friendly staff and a great location make this a spot worth considering. |

| Their product gets 5 stars and you definitely pay top dollar for it but it's great. Overall normal day service gets 2 stars as they are generally slow as hell. Today however gets 1 star. 0 or perhaps -1 if it were possible.\n\nI drive here all the way from Huntersville and don't mind the drive or their prices because the seafood is fresh. But I always call ahead to make sure what I want is in cause its quite a haul. No different today. Been wanting to make some chowder so called ahead and reserved 2 dozen cherrystone clams. \"Do you have them? Yes, absolutely. Ok I'll see you in about 45 minutes.\" I get there, get ignored at the register for a few minutes and when finally helped. The woman looks at my order ticket, goes back to the back for 3 or 4 minutes and then comes back with an \"it will be a minute\". Ok. So my call ahead order isn't already ready. That sucks but I'll wait. Literally 10 minutes later, after they see me still standing by the register, one of the guys tells her to go back and \"do a count of the clams\". 3 minutes later she comes back and says something to the guy. Another 3 minutes go by and he goes to the back. Thank goodness he only took another 45 seconds to come back and tell me \"we oversold and have zero clams\". No \"I'm sorry.\" just a \"well someone gave you bad information when you called\". You have to be kidding me. As Seinfeld told the rental car company. \"You know how to TAKE the reservation you just don't know how to KEEP the reservation... \n\nWhat would have been great service recovery? \"I'm so sorry, how about a half dozen dry pack scallops on the house.\" Or, \"Here's 5 bucks for gas or something, anything...! Even half an effort like that would have kept me loyal. Instead... It's been nice knowing you Clean Catch. |

| LET'S BE TRUTHFUL... \n\nLast week I decided to treat my wife to an evening of pretending to be a tourist on the Strip. I booked a room at the TI and after check-in, took my hungry bride to the buffet to graze on a strip buffet offering. I stepped up enthusiastically feeling fortunate there was no line and paid the $23 per person to get in. \n\nAs we walked through the dining area I noticed about 18 diners in the restaurant (odd for a 7:30pm dinner I thought) who were not really eating much. Must be a convention of health nuts as most plates were fruit and snacks... no real food. We arrived to the line and my wife looked at me and said... \n\n\"Is it just me, or does this entire place look tired?\" \n\nI thought to myself and replied, \"Sweetie, I don't understand why all the hot food has a dried skin on top, the cold food is shriveled, and the employees are all frowning... but that doesn't effect how much fun we'll have tonight, right? After seeing her expression, I immediately stated that we were leaving and requested a refund from the overly understanding lady at the register. \n\nNotwithstanding the terrible looking food, the strain on the faces of the line cooks resembling a Hollywood production of someone pointing a gun in their backs to work there or else... I found the saddest part to be how unfazed and prepared the smiling lady at the register was when I asked for a refund. We left, walked across the street to the Palazzo and enjoyed a great Italian dinner. \n\n\nPERSONAL NOTE TO PHIL RUFFIN, OWNER OF THE TI\n\nI was born and raised in Las Vegas, and this was my first experience staying in a strip hotel/casino. I'm proud of our city and welcome every visitor with open arms to enjoy all the entertainment and great dining Las Vegas has to offer. This buffet, the air quality in the casino, the poor cleanliness of the room, (our room had burnt out light bulbs, yuck on the dresser, broken dresser drawer hanging out, and empty alcohol bottles under the bed and chair) and the lack of smiles on the employees faces is not what I envisioned any tourist should experience. When this property opened it was fantastic, enjoyable, and affordable, and most important the air was breathable. When we arrived in our room, my wife had to do a breathing treatment because the horrible air inflamed her Asthma. Perhaps you'll take these recommendations to heart?\n\nIf you have a similar experience at this or any other Las Vegas property, please write a truthful review so the hotel owners get the message and step up their game. I would be happy to stay at the TI again and perhaps encounter an experience deserving of a glowing review, which I would be proud to post. Until then... |

| My hubby and I came here by mistake on a Friday evening. For some reason, I thought that this El Chorro was the same Mexican food restaurant that we used to go to in Tucson, but this restaurant was entirely different. The chicken enchilada dish was only one dish on the entire menu that was Mexican. Oops, my bad! I guess I should've checked with Yelp first to determine what type of restaurant it was, How cool is it that a restaurant reused what was once a girls' school and converted it to one of the most renowned destination restaurants?!\n\nThe ambiance was much different as well. It was more refined, polished, and provided a beautiful backdrop of Camelback Mountain. It felt warm and cozy as well, as though we were entering a nestled mission in the middle of the desert. The patio was very inviting and filled with people enjoying good conversation and food under trees covered in warm lighting. Had I researched first, I might've worn something nicer, instead of our extra casual attire. DId that matter to them? No, they treated us very well! Our waiter James was very attentive and made sure that we had no shortage of their famous sticky buns. The sticky buns are so good that they even take orders \"To Go\" if you so desire.\n\nWe started off with the Pepper Pot Shrimp Appetizer. It was served with rich, flavorful shrimp bathed in a pepper stew that could've been an entree in itself. The toasted homemade bread reached a state of nirvana in taste once it was dipped in the pepper pot stew mixture. \n\nWe splurged and tried the Chateaubriand meal for two. It came with the most tender, meaty goodness of filet served medium rare (as requested) roasted in the oven and served with sides of a cabernet type red sauce made from the filet's own juices and also a decadent, creamy Bernaise sauce. Roasted asparagus, carrots, and red seasoned potatoes surrounded this platter of perfection. \n\nThe chateaubriand meal also came with a dessert. We chose a butter cake with Dolce de Leche ice cream. Forget your typical Sara Lee pound cake. This butter cake puts that Sara Lee pound cake to shame! The cake was neither dense nor too light and flaky. The cake's texture was that of a thicker sponge, but the fork cut easily though the cake like butter. The sweet Dolce de Leche ice cream with the cream cheese, and thicker spongy cake complimented each other quite well. \n\nWe were so tired by the end of all this eating that we woke ourselves up with some espresso there and called it a night. After the appetizer, wine, the magnificent Chateaubriand, and dessert with espresso, let's just say our bill was not cheap. In fact, I would definitely call the night done \"on a whim\" one of those crazy splurges. That won't stop us from coming back for more though! Bravo El Chorro for giving us a wonderful night to remember! |

| Son of a gun, had some fun on the bayou... We decided to splurge a little for a special occasion, and I'm glad we did! Pappadeaux was a really fine evening out with exceptional food, delightful surroundings, and excellent company. I ordered the lobster despite my inexperience with how to approach it -- our waiter gave me a quick tutorial and I'm so grateful. My husband ordered Pasta Mardi Gras and loved it - he likes it spicy! I was glad we left the young 'un home so we could be free and easy on a date night, but we could have brought her as it was kid friendly and she would have enjoyed it. It was a grand night on the town - we loved the ambiance and the swanky yet unpretentious feel of this place. Their website says \"Fun, Festive & Always Original\" and I must agree... |
