My family LOVES Thai food. When we stepped through the door for the first time at Pin Kaow this past week, we were in awe of how cozy and beautifully decorated this restaurant was on the inside. Here is what we ordered (our Thai favorites) and the consensus we came to on our overall experience:\n\n1. Tom Ka Kai soup ( A lemongrass soup with coconut milk, mushrooms , and chicken)\nIt was rich and delicious with just the right balance of flavors.. but extremely salty.. so much so we could not finish. Had it not been so salty.. I think it would be the perfect soup.\n\n2. Nam Tok Salad (Grilled sliced beef, mint leaves, onion, basil, Thai spicy sauce)\nWe normally fight over the last portion of beef salad, but none of us cared too much for this particular salad. Again it was overly salty and the portion was quite small. Maybe a different salad would have suited our taste better, but there was something a bit overpowering .. not sure what.\n\n3. Chili Mint Noodles (Stir fried flat rice noodles, onion, chili peppers, jalapeno, basil leaves, egg, and your choice of meat (we chose shrimp)\nI would have enjoyed eating more of this, but there just wasn't enough of it because they were so stingy with the portions.. noodles don't cost very much.. \n \nWe've decided to keep looking.

Having trouble finding a great brunch place with no lines?\n\nThis place is never crowded, even at peak weekend brunch times. And everything we've had was delicious - they even make an awesome chicken fried steak. Would highly recommend for anyone like us with toddlers in tow who can't stand long waits.

Lots of unique gifts and everyday coffee/tea enthusiast accessories. Sort of a new and old, dark design which fits the style nicely. \nI was merely popping in for a quick coffee. The coffee I got, but the quickness, not so much. This, obviously, can be expected in busy coffee shops from time to time, so i'm cool with it. The coffee was quite good, but i'd be remiss to pop in if there was a big line.

I never thought that I would even think about Dim Sum in the Sin City. Being from the bay, you would think that I got enough of it, but here we were searching for that comfort food.. and we found ourselves here. I didn't even remember the name so thanks to the pagoda looking photo.\n\nDont remember exactly what we ordered but for sure some of the basic: shrimp dumpling, siu mai, sticky rice, chicken feet, pork ribs, mango pudding, rice rolls, baos.. etc, and it was all pretty good. The service was good and the restaurant was pretty full. The bill was generous, spent around $55ish for the 4 of us.. but we ordered a variety. \n\nI'm a lil butthurt, I looked thru the pics & saw that they had seared ahi. I dont remember that being there when I went. boo. \n\nBut Chang's will forever be our designated dim sum stop if we ever crave it in vegas.

After being greeted by some positive, smiling girls at the podium by the entrance, we decided to sit in the wonderful bar area that opens up to outside to the patio by the new Linq. \n\nIt was happy hour so I took advantage of the 2 for 1 margaritas. They were perfect! Absolutely delicious. \n\nTo pair with the drinks, we ordered some guacamole that had pomegranate seeds in it. What a delightful touch. So fresh. \n\nWe had a big dinner planned so the only other item we shared were the lobster tacos. Pretty good value during happy hour as these were just to die for. Maybe the best lobster tacos I've ever tried. \n\nService was attentive and professional. Btw- there's a cool mechanical bull in the middle of the restaurant you should check out too!

Shockingly fun. It's not a 'top tier' club but it's fun and all that matters. The drinks aren't outrageous (by Vegas standards), the music is 75% EDM, 25% Old School, which I like. It has a nice view of the water fountain, which is a nice touch.\n\nIf you go fairly early, like until 11:30, you'll have no problem getting in, they're not very selective for sure. \n\nI was surprised at how relaxed the dress code is. You can get in with a t-shirt and jeans. I wish they'd up that a bit and they'd find a higher level of clientele. \n\nThe staff was friendly and patient with us drunks.

Recently I was in NOLA for a few weeks and lived in FLA for 2 years and I do know good Cajun food and alligator. I was cookin' with Paul Prudhomme back in the early 80's before he was Chef Paul P! \nFor almost $50 we bought the combo plate with two meats and sides, a shrimp Po' Boy and an order of (3) Beignets with sweet tea. The Po' Boys are very good. The Shrimp was lightly battered and well seasoned, fried golden brown, sweet and crispy with just the right amount of spice. The roll was fresh and crusty. The red beans and rice were very good - lots of meat, beans were toothsome (not mushy) and the rice was done just right and it was spiced perfectly. The french fries were good, fresh, hot and crispy brown and moist on the inside.The sweet tea was just right and freshly made. Unfortunately - The alligator is terrible and the Boudan balls are just plain horrible. Alligator consisted of tiny breaded balls of flavorless chewy meat ranging from the size of a pea to a large blackberry - not one chunk or strip mixed with a lot of debris from the fryer (fried crumbles of batter). They were mostly tough and chewy. This is supposed to be tail meat which is usually pretty tender and there was very little or no seasoning. The Boudan balls were a huge disappointment. The filling was an unidentifiable tasteless gray paste with very little powdered spice, rolled in bread crumbs and fried. I pulled one apart and could see not one piece of meat, vegetable or rice. My best guess is that it consisted of bread crumbs with powdered spices and some binder (don't have a clue what). That they call this a \"meat\" selection is really a joke and for the price, absurd. When I was in NOLA I had Boudan balls at a half dozen different restaurants and they all contained meat, liver, ground with pepper/celery/onion/garlic, spices and rice . I've made my own for years and these resembled nothing like anything I've ever seen. There was no tartar or other sauce for dipping.The beignets are tough and chewy instead of the moist ,airy, delectable powdered treat they are supposed to be like I had every morning at the Cafe Du Monde in N'Orleans. The combo plate contents and two of the three beignets now resides in my refrigerator, barely touched and will go into the garbage tomorrow....what a waste of money. If I wasn't so far away, I'd bring it back and explain why to the manager. So, if you go - which you should as there IS good food to be had, stick to the Po'Boys (NO ALLIGATOR!!!), gumbos, rice, fries and other selections. I will go back and stick to the above mentioned selections as they are the only option in this area for Cajun food. On VA s'revoir!

Round #2 at Tony Sacco's was pretty consistent with my first visit. On this go, I had the same server again, who recognized me and chatted briefly about business picking up some. She was friendly and attentive again, keeping my drink filled.\n\nThe food:\nRotolis (garlic knots) - Upon ordering this, my waitress let me know that they have a smaller size of 5 knots that isn't listed on the menu. So I ordered that with a side of the marinara. Marinara was tasty and served smoking hot. Rotolis arrived to the table super hot as well. They were somewhat firm on the outside and soft and hot on the inside. The service in the wooden bowl was a little odd, and to keep them from soaking up the butter/garlic in the bottom of the bowl, I moved them to my plate (personal preference, not a negative). Very good!\n12\" White pizza - Traditional white pizza with the ricotta dollops on top. The spots were a little bigger than a quarter and not gloppy, so it was quite good. Crust was crispy, but not hard, and there were no black spots at all on this pizza. \n\nOnce I was done, my leftovers were boxed up and I was on my way.\n\nI had about 2/3 of the pizza left over, along with 3 of the knots (I wish I had asked for some of the marinara to go with it - that was excellent!). For reheating, I would definitely put these in the oven/toaster oven - microwave reheating makes everything soggy and not as good - but a quick trip in the oven re-heated them perfectly.\n\nI will return to try just a plain cheese pizza - and I will definitely be ordering more of the rotolis.

We went to La Cirque for Thanksgiving dinner. I knew it would be expensive but I thought if there was ever a time to splurge Thanksgiving in Las Vegas was the time. I do not mind spending a lot of money on food if it is amazing. I and the rest of our party was disappointed. The food just was not amazing. Everything was good but it was not, as my friend put it memorable. I felt everything could use salt for one thing but this place is so uber fancy that I could not bring myself to ask for it. The restaurant is really pretty, the service was good but I still want my $500 back. It was a set menu for $145 per person for a 5 course meal. There were only two choices for each course and the second choice had an up charge of any were from $15 to $65 per course, Lame. When the food came out everything was eehh. The only thing that blew my mind was the dessert. The dessert was amazing! My husband paid $65 up charge for the kobe beef and when it came out it was literally the size of a gulf ball. I was joking saying \"were is the beef\"? I know this is a french restaurant and they are known for small portions but $100 for a piece of steak the size of a quarter? I will never go again. If you have money to burn this may be a good place for you. For me our bill was $500 per couple with no booze. The food was not amazing so it was not worth it.

I will not be using this company again. After confirming with the person who answers the phone and schedules the appointments, Jan, that my fee would include the same services as last year's weed control, the service man, Alex, did not complete my lawn application properly. Because I have health needs, I cannot do the follow up spray with the hose a few days after the application. In the past, the service has always included the watering as well with no issues. Apparently the spray wasn't completed at all. This resulted in more weeds. I called as soon as I noticed new weeds popping up and Jan assured me that the service man would be by that day to spray again. I waited and did not hear anything so I called again the next day. Jan told me there had been an emergency (bees) and he would actually be by the following day instead to spray. At that point, I assumed it had been done.\n\nOne week later, I notice more weeds and called Jan again. She told me that Alex had been there and sprayed and she would call him again and follow up. She called me back shortly after to tell me that she had misinformed me- he had come by but there were not enough weeds to spray and it was my fault that I had not sprayed the water after the initial service. She then proceeded to attempt to sell me pest control services and charge me a re-application fee ($40) to come out and spray. When I told her I could not do the spray myself, she was sarcastic and rude and wanted to know why. I should not have to disclose my medical information to a pest control company. I confirmed on the phone before I scheduled the application to avoid that conversation. I told Jan I would not be paying and asked to speak to her manager. She said she would have him call me back. \n\nAn hour later, I received a call from Alex who said because of the miscommunication he would take care of coming and doing a follow-up spray at no cost. However, he was unable to come for a few more days and the weeds wouldn't die for 7-10 days. \n\nIt is now a week later and my yard is littered with weeds. I have also now received a complaint from my HOA. I will now have to hire an additional service-NOT Apco to fix what they should have addressed from the beginning.

Overpriced with a moody staff. Far more expensive then south point with bad service. It was dead when I went, and for good reason. GVR is the only theatre I've ever had problems with the staff. Plus it's ridiculously over priced (even though all theatres are) at most theaters it's about 45$ for me and my boyfriend to see a movie and get snacks but here it was 55$ and we didn't even get candy. My boyfriend got a hot dog that the staff shoved into the bag so the bun got all ripped up and they shorted him on his 6$ small drink. It had an inch and a half of space left when he recieved it. I wouldn't normally care that it wasn't all the way full but when you pay 6$ for a drink you expect it to be filled. Then the girl checking us out had no people skills and kept looking at us like she wanted us to leave. But we finally get into the movie and it's a good movie but the usher kept patrolling constantly through the movie and he was distracting. He walked through the theater at least 4 times clicking his counter each time. The movie was great but I don't think I'll be back at GVR again I'm gunna stick with south point and save 10$ and not have to deal with an usher who doesn't know how to do his job well enough to not distract people from the movie they payed good money for. It might have been nice and clean but the service was severely lacking.

I would go here again, but pretty much just for the pizza cookie and the cheese filled ravioli's!! We ordered the thin crust Aunt Margaritas pizza, and when it came, we didn't like it very much. The crust seemed very dry to me. So we called the waitress over, and they made us another pizza, gave us a free appetizer (the ravioli's). Woohooo for two free pizzas! The waitstaff all have cute sayings on the back of their shirts (Legalize Marinara) and we were greeted by multiple people. Our dessert was out of this world. Soft, gooey, melty, delicious humongous chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream on top. My mouth is watering.

Beautiful venue, nothing amazing from the menus and service was so-so. Tried the meatballs which were a rave and I wasn't too fond. Everything was very average and the presentation was low key. Prices didn't reflect what the venue lacked. There are better places that deserve the rating this place has that are way better!

I have a client that had mentioned this place a couple times as one of her favorite restaurants. I recently made it in myself and had a great experience. Noah was our server, he made great suggestions and was totally patient with us, GREAT service! We started with the Blood Orange margarita's that were amazing! Followed those with the tableside guacamole that was equally fantastic. I had the fish tacos... they blew Wahoo's out of the water, plus the presentation was beautiful. To finish out the night we had the pumpkin bread pudding and the chocolate dessert of the evening... Unbelievable! I am so glad I don't live closer or I would eat the bread pudding every day! This is a great place for food, ambiance and service with friends or for date night. Noah mentioned their brunch and I hope to check that out too! Love it!

I get really excited about YC's Mongolian BBQ. I love the concept, prices, and how quick it is on a busy night. They also help you choose your sauces which can be rather confusing if you dont know what you are doing. I am a picky eater so it is nice that i get to pick everything that goes into my bowl. Also, you really get a ton of food. \n\nNo complaints, well maybe that there isnt one close to me. \n\nCheck it out!

New to the area and went for beer and pizza based on the good reviews. Once we went inside we immediately decided to take the pizza to go. It is so dark and dreary in there you can barely see. After ordering the pizza we decided to get some beer while we wait. Nothing on tap, but a few craft selections in bottles. We saw you could buy a 6 pack for $8 which is a killer deal. We got Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and cracked one open. It had gone bad. We asked to change it out for Alaskan Amber. That had gone bad too. We ended up throwing the 6 pack away, which I don't do. The pizza was not square as they boast but round. And it looks nothing like the photos on the outside of the building or on their website. Small and scarce pepperoni with a cracker thin crust. Tasted like the pizza you get at an arcade or a bowling alley. My guess is it was frozen. We would have been better off getting a freezer pizza and 6 pack from Albertsons across the street. And it would have been a lot cheaper. $26 of junk we through out. We would never go back.

Neighbor asked me to drop him off at Aloha Automotive & Repair to pick up his car that \"needed\" repairs indicated by a local Big O shop. I went in with him to see if car was done and meet Jason. Low and behold Jason tells him that the car checked out fine. He could not find that the two areas indicated by the previous shop that needed addressed and handed my neighbor his keys back. No charge for the time spent checking out the car and not a single issue. Seriously how many times has anyone gone to a mechanic and have them say everything checks out and I just spent over an hour looking for issues and not going to charge you a thing. Meet my new repair shop!

I often eat at the Sam Woo next door. This Sam Woo has no liquor license so it's BYOB over there, so the waiters there actually suggest you go to 99 Ranch.\n\nOutside of picking up a pack of Tsingtao to enhance my meal at Sam Woo, I'd never go back to this dump...\n\nThis 99 Ranch stinks like moldy durian!! Then, it looks as bad as it smells. It's funny, if you read the other reviews for this market, they all say the same...It stinks, it's dirty, it's small and most importantly, it's like NO 99 Ranch I've ever been to. \n\nThe reason is, it's NOT A REAL 99 RANCH!! It's not OWNED or operated by TAWA, the company that owns the 99 Ranch Supermarkets in CA, WA, etc and T&T Supermarkets in Canada. This Las Vegas market is a licensee, so it's not at all what you're used to...\n\nBu Hau...

9/2/14 - Others I have known have received spectacular bouquets from them, and so I decided to use them as well on two different occasions. Both were funeral services, and both flowers were very disappointing. The first was a $75 poinsettia for a holiday memorial, which didn't look as good as I could have bought in a grocery store. The second was a funeral spray with yellow carnations and some huge sunflowers. I don't like sunflowers at all, and don't think they belong in a funeral spray. But I left it up to the florist to make the decision on which flowers to use. Won't make that mistake again.\n\nUPDATE - 9/8/13 3.0 star rating 9/2/2014\nGot a very nice email from Dave, owner at English Garden Florist, who genuinely apologized and offered to make amends. I appreciated his interest in my displeasure, and altho I have no near term need for flowers, he asked that I call him directly the next time I order. With that kind of customer service, I will certainly give them another chance.

It's not five star, but really it's not their fault they're in Las Vegas and not Chinatown San Francisco. \n\nAnd that's what I compare it to. Anyways, my favorite dishes are Shrimp noodle and Beef Noodle, because that ponzuesque sauce is to die for! Also the BBQ Pork buns, whether you go sweet or not are amazing.\n\nI routinely come here and eat far more than I need to. The only draw back is that not enough people come here so the carts aren't always popping out fresh stuff, so things can become luke warm. But the food is still amazing.\n\nThe best Dim Sum in Las Vegas bar none!

I was in Phoenix for a couple of days for a conference and found this place this first evening, a Wednesday, and was impressed enough to bring friends back Friday. It is great! I don't know what the complaints in other reviews about the service are talking about. The Tractor pizza with eggs and brussel sprouts was even better than I was hoping. As a brewer and fan of Belgian ales, I was impressed with their selection on tap, and the choose-your-own flights made me very happy.

I've never been to a \"bad\" JJ before - the locations I've ever visited (LA, San Diego, Seattle, Phoenix) have all been consistent and obviously very standardized. So, round-of-applause for that!\n\nWent to the downtown location yesterday for lunch and was waiting *patiently* behind a lady who took the menu WAYYYYYY too seriously. Damn woman! It should not take 3-4 minutes to decide what smoothie you want? Should it? Or am I just an ass??\n\nWell, anyways - the personnel noted this and started interacting w/the line (of 4 ppl) and started to get the smoothie making party started. Great job!!! But, sadly - I was not asked what free power boost I wanted in mine. I really needed extra protein yesterday so boooo! Regardless, the smoothie was fantastic - had the Light Mango-A-Go-Go.

I have called Cottage Chic twice within the last month inquiring about the Louis small 6L/Iron wood chandelier. I called number 910- 944-0501. Both times with the same question. What is the height of the chandelier including the chain? The sales woman said the dimensions online did not include the chain.. I wanted to make sure the chandelier would not hang too low before I purchased it. She said she would find out and call me ASAP.. Two weeks passed and no phone call. So I decided to call again. Over two weeks later and no phone call again!! Due to such poor customer service I will not be purchasing the chandelier from Cottage Chic.. Im shocked a store of this caliber would hire such incompetent workers..

The experience here has been varying as of late. Sometimes, the doughnuts are immaculately put together. When done right, they're delicious, nearly flawless. They blow the mind. Increasingly, quality has been slipping. Under-cooked, too much frosting, next to no filling, sloppy toppings... it makes a big difference. I don't know if they're having trouble keeping up with demand or they're putting amateurs in charge of the bake, but the number of disappointing visits is starting to out-weigh the good ones. Lake Mead location included. They've even messed up the math on my orders a couple of times.\n\nThe stock seems to always be depleted unless you hit them at just the right time. It makes me wonder if they can handle the boom in popularity. Still, I give them the benefit of the doubt. The original group makes a mean batch of doughnuts. It's just not so much of a sure thing now.

Is there a minus 5 star review because that's what I would give to them! DO NOT STAY AT RIO!!!!! I have been coming to Vegas for years & years & never in a million years I would encounter something like this!\nWe stayed at room 12004 & we noticed the smell of odor coming from the hallway, our neighbors told us that they had been complaining but they did nothing.\nWe came back to the room around 2:30 am & got woken up by the itch sensation & that's when we saw some crawling bugs on the beds that we slept in. I freaked out crying because It was all over my body (my leg & arms). I called the front desk & they sent the security up to our room. He provided us with bio hazard bags to put our clothes in. We left all of our belongings & got out of there, only to wait for hours. The managers at the front desk didn't seem that surprised when we told her, offered another room but we didn't want to stay there....not EVER again. We lost everything we brought, only the clothes we wear...& bumps all over my body. They only offered $50 to get a couple clothes to wear in the gift shop where average clothes are around $40-$100!!!!!!!! Las Vegas for I have come here so many many times! It really bothers me that they think this is a normal thing & even mentioned \"Even WYNN Hotel has them!\" WOW!!!!!

I am really disappointed with the service and experience I had with this David's Bridal. Today I went in for shoes for my bridesmaids and the help I received was interrupted and just bad. They only had 3 of the 7 sizes I needed and when I asked questions regarding ordering them, their future shipments, etc. I got \"unsure answers\". I was frustrated but understood them not having all the sizes I needed. When I pressed for how I was going to obtain them, she never offered helpful information. It was only after I asked do other stores ship them to your location? No. Are you getting more in? Not sure. If other stores have them and I cannot drive there is there an option? It will be $15 to get them shipped per shoe/store. This was not great information or service. She gave me a list of a few locations that had some of the sizes but did not offer to call them to confirm. I left feeling unimpressed.\n\nLater, I called the stores she gave me and 2 of them did not have the sizes in stock that I was told. Now, I work in retail so I know your onhands can sometimes be off, but this disappointment could have been halted if she would have called to verify herself. I finally got a very helpful, friendly associate at the Avondale location (Jessica) and she did not have the shoes either (like the first associate said again) but she gave me options right away. She confirmed that she could ORDER the shoes and get them shipped to my closest location or to my house. An option I never heard from the Tatum location! I was happy to do this, and I even paid the one time $15 dollar fee to get them shipped to my house to avoid going back to the Tatum location and dealing with that horrible service. When Jessica was processing my order, she even made a remark that they didn't fill out any of my information correctly in the system and had to do a whole profile with me over the phone; even though I had been to the Tatum location twice (and purchased items both times). \n\nI wasn't going to put the employees name that helped me because I did not want to be rude, but please ensure management revisits training and what great service looks like with the employees working today, Saturday. I am not looking forward to picking up the shoes I already ordered... I hope I have a better experience then.

It's way out in the boonies next to Nellis AFB, but we got a 2 BR suite for the same price of a Motel 6 near the Strip. It's an extended stay hotel, so there's a full kitchen and roomy walk-in closets. The mattresses are hard, but I slept well. They give you coffee for your room. Too bad the coffee maker was missing. I've always wondered about the type of people who steal coffee makers from hotels. Don't they worry about other people's germs or the exorbitant fee they'll be charged when the maids discover that it's missing?\n\nDog friendly, but you pay a $28 non-refundable fee per dog per day, with a maximum of 2 dogs. \n\nThe hotel is dated, but it is as clean as an in-refurbished Motel 6. They give you a password for free wifi for one device. The beds are hard, but whatevs. The cable has a lot of channels and because it was a suite the tv had a couch and coffee table.\n\nThere's nothing in the neighborhood, but right in front of the hotel is 25, a club that does karaoke and serves food 24 hrs a day. I'm guessing that the bar services the off duty soldiers, so you'll hear people chatting and loitering in the parking lot when they shut down the karaoke at 1am because they just don't want the party to end. It was a little worrisome, since our room was right next door, but we survived. \n\nIn spite of all that, my mom thought it was nice considering what we paid, and we're used to 4 star hotels. She might just have been impressed with the size of the suite.

The restaurant space has been revamped, and feels much larger than Nix. The bar was pushed back, further from the door, leaving ample room for mingling and table seating, and the vibe is hipper too, with tufted leather chairs and low red lighting.\n\nMy favs: Cowbell Chili & Smoked Cornbread, black bean burger, sweet potato croquettes, which are basically sweet potato donuts balls (or little balls of heaven, as Cowbell calls them), and Dali's fries with garlic aioli, buffalo, Parmesan, and fresh herbs. \n\nI posted a full review on the blog, but these are the highlights.

Wow this place has very bad service. Stopped in for a personal size pizza had 45 min before movie starts next door. Seated no more then 20 feet from the pizza station. After 30 min the server comes by and says they are still woking on it. 15 min latter we walked out with nothing. This was the only time we talked to the server and the Manager never came over, even though he could see us seating there bored to death, to explain why they are inept. \nHad more conversation with the bus boy as he pickup around us. Really how long does it take to bake a 12\" pizza 5 -8 min.\nNever again, has been 3 years since I was there before and it was so-so then, so it's not gotten better. Fool me once good for you, fool me twice shame on me.

One star for the amazing view and another for honoring my reservation request of a table right by the window in front of the Fremont Street Experience. I would add another for the great company I was with but that wouldn't really be a review or a reflection of the restaurant :p\n\nThe whole experience was rather \"meh.\" Our server was slow and I did not appreciate his upselling. As for the food, I've had better steak, bread, and sides at just about every other steakhouse I've been to. We each ordered filet mignon and shared our sides - creamed spinach, corn brulee, and garlic potato wedges. Our complimentary bread was an onion bread which I personally wasn't too crazy about. I liked the garlic potato wedges the best which basically just tasted like a cut-up baked potato. Btw they ran out of the prime rib over an hour before closing which one of my dining companions was set on ordering so that was rather disappointing. The cherry on top had to be the loud drunk guys at the table next to us making some sort of comments about Asian people. How's that for ambience? :/\n\nIf anything come for the view but know that you can get better food and service elsewhere.

Good food and a surprisingly intimate venue at the quiet end of the strip. Well worth giving a try, kind of a little gem. I had the duck which was okay, the breast could have been more tender but the presentation was good and the taste was balanced.

Broken Dagger is an excellent place to go off the strip for tattoos. Everyone of the artists are warm, friendly and very professional. We had Robbie do a crown tatoo for my wife as she is my princess!! He did am awesome job drawing and then working with my wife to discuss what she was thinking and how it would look best. We were very impressed with his work and the prices charged there are very reasonable and fair!! I would definitely recommend this tatoo place and we will be back. \n\nOh, by the way we came back to Robbie for some more color on the crown in other spots and he touched it up and added the Color at no charge!!! \n\nThanks Robby for the awesome tatoo!!

One of the top tier Hampton's we have stayed at, and we have been to a lot of them across the USA. Quiet, comfortable, and great breakfast with ample eating area. Within easy walk of The Strip. The only Hampton with a full bar and slots for those who want to leave a little money in Vegas. Highly recommend.

I decided to make New Year's Eve reservations here based on the reviews I'd read on Yelp and my girlfriend and I both walked away impressed. We were a little late for our reservations, but still had no problem being seated immediately as the restaurant was only about half full. We were promptly greeted by our server Christy who was very attentive throughout the evening and was also helpful in drink selections for my girlfriend.\nAfter ordering our drinks, we started with the cheese plate appetizer with 3 cheeses - a brie, a cheddar and a third called Red Dragon (which I really enjoyed). In addition to the cheese and bread, the plate also came with candied pecans and a honey \"jelly\" that really worked well with the cheeses. The cheese plate was a nice starter as it wasn't overly filling, but there was plenty for two people.\nFor our mains, my girlfriend ordered the apple and brie salad with grilled chicken and I ordered the sea scallops large plate. Both dishes were excellent - her chicken and my scallops were both cooked perfectly. The sweet potato hash and celery slaw that came with my scallops was also delicious. We both left feeling fulfilled, but not stuffed which was nice. \nThe experience at Table 274 was a great start to our night and we'll definitely be returning soon. Great job Table 274!

This makes me so sad to write! But I have to come clean. I've stopped coming here for my Brazilians. \n\nThe waxes kept leaving a lot to be desired. Actually, I desired a lot less...hair. I noticed more and more hair being left on the \"front\", plus I had a lot of ingrowns (I thought it was just my skin/hair, but after being waxed elsewhere, it's all cleared up). Even more disappointing was that the \"back\" was ignored. While unpleasant to acknowledge, that's a big part of what makes a Brazilian a Brazilian! When it was simply not done for a few appointments in a row, I couldn't overlook it. Maybe there was a policy change, a change in her description of the service or a problem with my nether-regions, but I wasn't told about it, so the sudden absence was off-putting.

Well I can't really say anything seeing as I wasn't able to get in. I know they do not take reservations and it is walk in only. I tried calling to see what the wait time would be and nobody answered the phone. I was transferred to hotel concierge who wasn't able to get ahold of anyone either. So far not a good impression. I'll try again another time

I bought the Toulouse crepe, which reminded of a pizza before eating. The crepe looked delicious and was freshly made. The Fresh basil on top was a nice touch The mariana sauce was cold when they put it on top of the crepe so it ruined the entire dish. :( This also made the cheese clump together faster, making it more dissatisfying by the bite. It had so much potential!!! I'm disappointed.

I'm only rating the food... I got a ToGo order. \n\nI love supporting local / family owned places but I must be honest with my reviews.\n\nI would have given them 3 stars but the Lasagna was HORRIBLE.\n... It was simply a pile of pasta sheets (like 7-8) with one 1\" wide, half inch thick strip of sausage on one end and a small amount of cheese in 2 or three layers.\n\nSo either the chef has NO CLUE what Lasagna is - thus he/she needs to go a google search - or they were cheap azzez ripping off customers. If I was sitting in the place I would have sent it back without blinking.\n\nAlso ordered was Pasta Prinavera (pretty good) and a Stromboli which was good, worth ordering again.\n\nIn all I'd rally like to give this place another try but I feel cheated by the pile of pasta sheets they charged me for calling it Lasagna. So, I have not decided if I will give them another shot or not...

Best kept secret! I have lived 8 miles from here for years!! And never knew about this place. Today is my birthday and I was craving a Mexican Seafood restaurant. So I did a search on Yelp to help me decide where to go. That's how I found Mariscos Sinaloa. My boyfriend and I walked in. We were greeted by the staff. It was seat yourself so I chose a corner booth. A friendly waitress (wish I knew her name, she wore glasses and had a big smile all the time) immediately brought over chips & salsa and took our drink order. When she delivered our drinks I told her it was our first time there. She had a big smile on her face and welcomed us (again). Since a lot of the menu was in Spanish she helped us understand and explained some of the selections on the menu. She did it with enthusiasm which made us feel appreciated as guests. I love queso dip but did not see it on the menu. So I just took a stab at it and asked her if they had queso dip. She said they did but it was not on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised. The queso dip was very good and creamy. My boyfriend ordered the Camerones Baconera. He really enjoyed it. I sampled it and wouldn't mind ordering it for myself next time we come. Big plump shrimp swimming in a creamy, spicy, chipotle type sauce. I ordered the Molcajetes. OMG!! Entr\u00e9e big enough for 2. It had grilled octopus, carne asada, bacon wrapped shrimp, grilled green onions, cheese stuffed pepper, and grilled chicken in a spicy sauce sizzling in a hot clay-type pot. I was not disappointed!! I was not able to finish and had to ask for a to-go container. I saw a smile on boyfriend's face when I asked for the to go box. He was probably thinking that he is getting the leftovers....NOPE!! Not this time, My Love, I'm gonna savor this myself tonight!!! We will definitely come back!! Why? The food was delicious but the waitress with the glasses and friendly smile made our experience there FANTASTIC!!

Overall, delicious food.\nThe brunch selection is probably the best. Although the wait is around 15-30 minutes, it's definitely worth it! \n\nI had this amazing mango pineapple fish. Mmm, that's the one thing I remember because it was so rich, flaky, but light and fresh at the same time! \nThere was enough variety and even had a separate dessert room which had delicious gelato. \n\nWhat really made the experience special is the decor! The main focal point was the garden room where there is a beautiful skylight and hanging flowers and plants. Gorgeous place to have brunch, breakfast, or lunch in.\n\nIt is a decent price if you do not go on holidays. I believe on holidays it is around $35-40 for breakfast or dinner. On regular days, I believe $15-20 which is amazing for their food.

If you Re there for beer, microbrews and such, this is the place for you. However, if you are looking for a good chili dog, try someplace else. While the hot dogs are of good quality, they honestly have the blandest, odd tasting chili I have ever had. First off, I don't like beans in hot dog chili. Second, it didn't really add any flavor. It just gave it an odd texture. They are also overpriced. Their onion rings weren't all that good either. Lots of microbrews makes one hope for beer battered onion rings. Nope! Just crappy almost store bought low quality breaded onion rings. And change your fry oil once in a while! So to sum up, beer: good. Food: sucks.

Burgers were excellent (both BBQ bacon cheese and peanut butter bacon) and fries were even better. They cook burgers to order instead of chain-style aka overdone.

It was the end of our last night in town and I really wanted to check out the Casino. I'm not much of a gambler, well, I should say I don't like losing money, so if things aren't going well, I just stop and move on to something that drains my money slower, like a sports book or an arcade. That said, I do love Pai Gow Poker, and was hoping to find a table with a reasonable minimum bet.\n\nFirst, the building is pretty cool looking and very inviting from the freeway when you're passing it on the way into town, but it is a little tricky to get to because it's on an island and not close to any bridge. Parking was easy, but once you enter the casino it was extremely challenging to navigate. \n\nLet me start by saying that if you like a variety of slot machines, they have EVERYTHING. From Grease with videos from the movie to Lobster Madness. Seriously, these slot machine designers have no holds barred. Unfortunately, when you first enter you're in a small area with slots. Then you have to use another elevator to get to a different floor and then go down a ramp to get to another series of elevators. Or you can use the escalators and then you might find yourself in another part of the building that is (as described by others) under renovation. I finally found the table games but was told I was in the wrong building for Pai Gow Poker. \n\nSo, I made my way back, collected my family that was waiting for me and dragged them to the tables, where I found out that the minimum bet was $50. In fact, every minimum bet was double what you would expect at Tahoe and triple the minimums at Vegas. This is NOT the place to gamble if you can't afford to drop some serious cash. But I had invested this much time, so we hit a few slot machines, had some fun and then left, wishing we had spent our time elsewhere. It wasn't totally wasted, but there are so many wonderful things to see in town, don't bother with the Casino.

Took my Mom here today for a post Mother's day lunch. It's been about a year since our last visit. Salad bar is a one trip deal only and the salad plates are smaller than I remember last time. Hushpuppies are 2 bite sized and are very good with the right amount of sweetness and onion. My Mom got the senior flounder plate and I got one of the specials which was salt and pepper catfish fillets. Both included a side and the one trip to the salad bar.\nFood was good, but both our flounder and catfish were on the thin side and not very meaty. Service was very friendly and attentive.\nLunch set me back $23 with drinks tax and tip which I thought was really pricey for lunch especially with the thin pieces of fish and considering my Mom ordered off of the senior menu and I got one of the specials.

Everything they said it would be! Starting with the consult; they were polite and helpful in providing me with the best options to suit my concerns. Dr. Friedman was very professional and the entire process was pain free for me, both physically and mentally. The procedure went off without any problems. The entire staff was helpful before, during and even now after the surgery. I have thought about having this done for a long time and after my consult with Carly, I felt like this was the time.

Love this place, but let's get the prices and days straight. They are CLOSED on Monday. Tues-Thurs the lunch buffet is $9.99. Fri $11.99. Sat/Sun $12.99.\nI haven't noticed a difference in the food selection on either day, but maybe I'm missing something. \nFirst thing I like: \nThe have real Basmati white rice. Tasty. \nNext:\nThe always have a good selection of soups and dishes on the buffet although lately, haven't seen any goat curry, only fish.\nThe bad:\nUsually I go later, around 2 and the tea is either out or cold. The paneer can also be gone. I guess I have to get my act together and get there earlier!

We came here Easter Sunday. They had leg of lamb and a couple other additional items including lobster. The price was more than the normal $33.99, instead it was $49.99. Although the variety is better than must Vegas buffets, with the exceptional of Wynn, the price is certainly not worth it. The wait was long, although not longer than other buffets. The lobster was definitely frozen and the imitation crab stuffing was awful. The raw oysters didn't have any flavor and the leg of lamb was dry. I do have to admit the prime rib was good as was the lobster bisque. However it still wasn't worth the $49.99 price. I've had better, for instance, Wynn and Bellagio. Save the money and stick to those two, the drive from the strip, the wait and the price just isnt worth it.

Where do i even began, I would recommend for no one to purchase any vehicle from ANY CarMax! I purchased a car from them and I believe it came with mechanical issues and of course CarMax in my opinion did not try to fix the issue they just brushed it off. The worst part about it is the car salesman that sold me this vehicle after me calling him multiple times telling him the issue DID NOT DO ANYTHING! And his name was RICKEY JORDAN. They are quick to take your money, but when crap hits the fan no one is there to help. No one should buy a car from this place because you might have to deal with headaches and stress! I would just recommend getting a car from a big car dealer as in Findley or Fletcher dealerships. I put so much money into this and no one there is qualified to help besides take your money that you worked HARD for and run off without a warning. IN OTHER TERMS THIS PLACE SUCKS! I REGRET EVERY SINGLE DAY EVEN STEPPING INTO THIS BUILDING!

Even though Dreyer's ice cream is available everywhere, it seems to taste better between two fresh baked cookies. You can even get two different cookie flavors and my choice was double choc. chip and red velvet. Peanut Butter cup ice cream was placed in the middle and off to Mill we go to eat as I walked past the hobo drawing photos nearby. Great sandwich to eat while walking, nice staff member and a great deal for 2 bucks.

Our group decided to do the all day buffet because it was cheap and easy. Maybe we should have saved the stomach aches and long hours on the potty and just spent money on decent food. Well see the foods not that bad.. its just i can't eat three meals of stale food. Breakfast was whateves. Standard stuff but they had fried rice and array of wtf \"breakfast\" foods out.. Lunch rolled around and low and behold the same exact shit we had for breakfast! They added some fried chicken but that was basically it. Dinner was better but i really can't eat stale food all day.

This place is trash. The restaurant was packed because it was 5pm. I expected a long wait, but I noticed a lot of table were empty in the middle. Their were more then enough waiters to seat more people. I counted 7 waiters and about 20 tables that were occupied. I dont know any waiter that would work with only 3 tables to make a decent pay for the night. We got seated after 45 mins of waiting.\n\nOur food took an hour to get out, and we still didnt get our drinks because the waitress never came around after we ordered. Maybe she was on her period. THe food was actually really good but it was way over priced for the small portion, and after 2 1/2 hours its so not worth it.

It's Walgreens. Generally they are all the same. However, I will say the pharmacy staff here is very good. They are helpful, friendly, and seem to be efficient in filling prescriptions. They also are good answering questions about non-prescription products.\n\nThere are probably two other Walgreens convenient to either my home or office, and another two or three CVS. This tends to be my first choice of them all.

I really wanted to love this place, but I left not that impressed. There were a few highlights:\n1. The room was quiet (a big plus)\n2. The staff was unbelievably friendly (another big plus)\n3. Parking is easy\n4. Location\n\nA few things detracted from the experience:\n1. The bathroom was cramped and the door wouldn't stay open on its own, which meant that the AC didn't properly cool it. Not a big deal, but annoying\n2. The gym temperature had to have been about 80 or 90, which clearly isn't something you want when you're sweating profusely anyway. When I told someone about it they seemed to take it seriously and said they'd look into it.\n3. Breakfast was only OK (sausage was good) but when I entered the guy working there told me to help myself (fine). There wasn't any decaf so I had to go back and ask; he brought me some eventually. This wouldn't have been a big deal, except a woman who came in about 10 minutes after I did--and was getting the same thing, the buffet--was treated much better: the same guy offered her coffee right away and was much more attentive with her.

I was recently at Spa Jema to receive a manicure and pedicure. The pedicure was fabulous and relaxing however a different girl did my manicure, I believe her name was DeeDee. Let me just tell you how awful this manicure was. My cuticles weren't even pushed back, the polished chipped 5 minutes after I left the place, and they were hardly filed or buffed. The price of the manicure is insane for the horrendous job that was done on my nails. I paid extra to get the paraffin wax treatment which was nice. My friends who didn't pay extra never got lotion or any sort of hand massage. The manicure itself was probably a 5 minute treatment. DeeDee was not concerned with doing a good job, she just wanted to get out of there and go home.

They were very friendly & helpful during our visit. We called for advice before we came in, Holly was very helpful. She was there when we arrived & treated our dog great. It was 5:30am and we had to bring him in to be put to sleep. It was extremely hard to deal with (still is)...but they were very respectful to our feelings. Doctor explained everything, so we understood what would happen. If we ever have another emergency with our other dogs this is the place we will take them.

We went to the 7:30 show but skipped having dinner. The venue is really nice. Some other reviews complained about the seating but our seats were fine for the time we had to sit there.

Third time's the charm! Yep, I have dined here for the last time. The food is plainer than a mud fence. It's such simple fare, too. Why isn't it better? My repast of 2/20/12 began with iced tea that tasted like an old foot smells. Next up was the fried calamari app with a sidecar of tomato pookie. Tender, yes, but greasier'n a drippin' bicycle chain. And the panko batter wasn't totally enrapturin' the parts. Undaunted, The Beau and I then took advantage of a coupon offer of twoferone woodfired oven pizzas. The Beau had a veggie (sans da mozz!). I designed my own sausage 'n' 'shroom (sans tomato pookie!). Beau's veggie looked good and he said it was. It was certainly colorful with all the fresh veggies. My designer original was, though, a pure letdown. My feathers fell when the waitron started the pie's angle for the table's landing strip: all my baby browns could see was -- Christ, almighty God! Elizabeth, I'm comin' to get ya! -- sliced Italian sausage. Lord knows I shy from practicing anthropomorphism, but I can't believe any Hephaestus-fearing, woodfired oven would allow sliced sausage to enter its pie hole. Fergawdsakes, Italian sausage is easy to make. It's ground pork with some spices. Make it yourself, Stone & Vine! And you don't slice it. You grab bits of it and throw it on the pie -- just like Nello's does it. Anywho, as soon as the pie's landing gear touched the woodmac I immediately started dreadin' that first bite. And sure enough, my fears were realized: bland didn't even begin to describe the sausage. Shame, too, 'cause the pie's crust had a good tooth to it. Upshot? Uh, Mr. Clark, I'll give da joint two stars. Bland food. Nice, comfy decor. Tables have lots of space so there's room to cuss a cat. Friendly staff. And a good burn on the pizza crust. Call when you find work, Stone & Vine.

JD and I wanted a super casual place for lunch on Saturday after a workout and he suggested here and it was the perfect spot. The chips and salsa were exceptionally good, or I had just worked up a voracious appetite at the gym, probably some of both. \n\nJD ordered a cheese crisp and I made fun of him by asking if he was on a diet. Then I ate my words when the behemoth greasy cheesy large pizza sized crisp actually came to the table. It was HUGE! A thin crispy tortilla topped with tons of melty fantastic-ness! It was cut in squares like some pizza's too which made it easy to eat. I had the Mexican Flag enchiladas and they were fine, but lackluster in comparison to the giant wheel of melted cheese across the table. \n\nAll in all it was a great meal and definitely reversed any good I had just done at the gym, but that's life and I'm fine with it!

I went to Hard Rock Cafe for the first time with a coupon for a $4 meal. (Legenary burger, fries, and soft drink) The only positive is that the food was alright. It was good for the $4 I paid, but not the $15+tax and tip it was normally.\n\nThe cons:\n- The customer service was laughable. Our waiter come up to my guest and I, who both had empty drinks at the time, and said \"Good? Good?\" with thumbs up. My guest asked for a refill and specified that I needed one, too. Later in the meal when both of our drinks were totally empty again, I asked for a refill. He only brought one for me, so my guest and I shared my drink. He clearly couldn't care less. \n- The burger was dry, like it was previously frozen. It definitely didn't taste fresh.\n- The veggies on the side to put on the burger weren't crisp. I usually like lettuce on my burger, but not their wilted lettuce.\n- The fries weren't seasoned and they weren't anything special. I'd compare them to Wendy's fries. \n- The music videos they play are awful. For being the Hard Rock Cafe you'd think that they'd play some well known rock stuff. ...nope... my guest and I were there for almost two hours and there was only one song we recognized. While I'm not a music expert, my guest is. To top it off, their bad music is so loud that you have to yell to talk to someone across the table. I expected loud music at the Hard Rock Cafe, but not bad loud music.

The Andrew Warhola that you knew as Andy Warhol has a fascinating history before he became the Pop Art Icon. You can see his beginnings in a small collage in one of the exhibits. My sister's belief that being gay, I would really want to see the museum. Yes and No. I have never seen most of A.W. 's art outside of Modern Art Museums in Chicago or other cities, which would probably be one piece here and there. The museum boasts a larger percentage with loans from other museums and collections.\n\nThe museum itself promotes other artists that are up and coming with a temporary exhibit. The current major temporary exhibit is Shepard Fairey, the creator of the iconic Obama poster. Although I liked the poster, it was also very idolistic. Never a big Obama fan, his election was better than McCain and Palin running our country right now ( although I would have loved Sarah in her combat boots being sent on a \"peace\" mission to Iraq or Afghanistan in a military helicopter).\n\nI digress, the museum comprises of 7 floors with exhibits ranging from the modern pop art similar to Warhol to todays, modern artists who followed his path. Since Shepard Fairey had 2 floors devoted to him, I will comment on his work currently on exhibit. I found it monochromatic. His early works were a criticism of war, capitalism and the prevalence of advertising for both war and capitalism. He used images of people and posterized it to effect to spread his message. However, I think he is also following his inspiration, Warhol by borrowing images and giving his p.o.v. The works are almost monochromatic with red and black as the primary colors with the tribute to the Socialist propaganda prominent in Communist countries. What fails to attract me to his work is his inability to be consistent. Is he spreading anti capitalist messages, is he protesting the war, is he trying to show that images can affect change. There is no voice except commercialism. Currently, Fairey designed or more evidently has placed his images in Levi's clothes. Since this is not uncommon for any modern pop artist, it just conflicts with his anti capitalist imagery.\n\nThe rest of the exhibits ranged from good to bad. I think the museum is trying to create a Modern Art Museum destination in Pittsburgh. Andy Warhol was a native son but do we think that he is an artist that can be considered along the Picassos, Rembrandts, etc. Not yet. I do believe, his art work will stand the test of time as the movement towards using the imagery of commercial products to an art. Shepard Fairey - 15 mins are counting down.\n\nSo I am a fan because it has brought something different from the staid museums of old such as Natural History and Art Gallery museums. \n\nP.S. There is a children's area in the basement that allows the children in your party to work on some art (this is a plus since some exhibits can be rated R and not for kids).

Great meal. Tom yum soup hits the spot on a cool day. \nLast couple trips here it seems the soup and entrees come out very close to each other. I would prefer to eat the soup before the entree arrives. \nBut a solid meal everytime.

Great chocolate desserts and drinks! The fondue is my favorite, but don't expect very much of it. They only bring you a little capsule (but it is so rich and delicious!).\n\nWasn't impressed by the waffle - it was too soft. Didn't taste fresh.\n\nVery nice service.

Nice market for healthy food and meats. Their meat counter is great and be sure to try one of their many fresh sausages. Very little fat in them. Produce is good and prices lower than most super market chains. They carry a vast selections of health food brands.

Talk about a disappointment! \n\nI want to first say that our server was amazing and tried his best to give us the best service ever. Thank you!! \n\nMy friend and I were hungry after a late night on the town, we were staying at MB and were craving burgers. We got there and were seated right away. My friend ordered the French Dip Steak and it was horrible! The meat was dryer than the Las Vegas heat, no taste! The soup that came with it was bland and the pasta was disgusting. Meanwhile I had the hamburger that had no taste to it. \n\nNow usually if we were paying a cheap price, you get what you pay for. But these orders were $20 bucks a piece. And I understand that it's late at night, but either lower the price or give us fresh food. We let our server know that we didn't like our food (we couldn't even finish it) and didn't want anything else. Then the manager came and basically told us that they did ask us if we wanted anything else and \"apologized\". Yeah, whatever dude. At the end of it all we did get a cut off our total, but the whole experience was a total let down. If you're going to be serving food, all I ask is for it to be GOOD. Avoiding this place from now on.

You would think a pet grooming service that has been in business so long would make sure they hire great groomers. I did not have a good experience at all. My Bichon was cut so close to her skin and it was very uneven, also had three razor burns on her stomach. I think I could have done a better job than they did. Will not use again!!

The Cheesecake Factory is one of my favorites across the board due to the consistency of the food and service. Tonight I ordered the fried cheese starter platter, soup du jour (tortilla), and the Chicken and Biscuit entree. Let me start off but saying the fried cheese was excellent, about 8 little triangles perfectly breaded and crisped with Gouda and Mozzarella cheeses and melted to perfection. They were the perfect temperature. The soup was so-so, a basic bisque like consistency with corn and some other veggies. It had a nice spicy finish but at first bite the saltiness is a little overwhelming. The entree is one of my favorite a good solid buttermilk biscuit, very flaky and buttery, with a vegetable melange (carrots were slightly undercooked) , mushrooms, and peas. The chicken however was moist and juicy, pan seared to perfection. It also had just the right amount of rosemary crust. And the gravy that they use is fantastic, not to rich or thick, and not overly seasoned. That's what I like about this entree it's not overly done so you can really enjoy each component. And our server, Nick, totally professional and nice and a real babe. Over all a great experience and will definitely be back!

Very disappointing ! I had a lot of expectation from this place , heard so much about the chef and basically it's really not that good \nBeside the food everything was ok so really the star is just for the food \nThe fish dish was awful ! I even think it wasn't fresh because of the after taste \nSeriously the $1000 bill wasn't well spent

This is the most expensive Starbucks I've ever been to! It was over $10 for: a drip coffee, an apple, a yogurt, and a chocolate bar. Bleh. Also super slow service. But friendly. I wouldn't complain except for the toxic sticker shock.

Came here on Saturday for lunch, and was impressed.\n\nAs per \"Asian style\" in terms of attacking the buffet, we attacked the meat and seafood first. Not a lot of variety in seafood at the time, just some salmon, shrimp cocktail, clams and sushi, but the meat was delicious. We had BRAISED SHORT RIBS over POLENTA, PRIME RIB, KOREAN BBQ, BBQ PORK RIBS, and TRI TIP. The most amazing thing was the pile of BONE MARROW they had...rich and delicious. All of these were delicious...a lil bit on the salty side, but hey, taste is what matters, right?\n\n(THERE ARE REVIEWS THAT SAY THERE ARE NO PRIME RIB...THAT IS NOT TRUE! We had a lot of prime rib...but the piece I got was definitely more Raw than Rare)\n\nThis place doesn't have as much variety as the other places, but the quality of their food was great. The dessert selection was awesome as well with their PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE, SWEET POTATO FLAN, and GELATO.\n\n\nOverall, the presentation of the food was all aesthetically pleasing....they're big on serving food in individual containers, which makes it fun to eat, but also means you can grab less per trip!

Soaking up the Downtown scene and seeing all the new changes they've made... I gotta say I'm thoroughly impressed with all the establishments in here and the little community they've built. The Vegas vibe is nonexistent in this community which is a refreshing change up from the vegas scene. I highly recommend everyone living here and visiting to check it out! Good job Tony Hsieh :)
