I went to Blanco last night with a family friend of mine and we were helped by a server named Adam. He was awesome! Super nice guy and a great server. \n\nThe ambiance of the place is cool, we sat on the patio and it was very comfortable, open patio setting. I really enjoyed the layout and the lounginess of the place. If lounginess is even a word?! I think you get the point. \n\nI thought the food was good, that's the only reason I gave it a 4 star vs. a 5 star. The food wasn't bad, I just didn't think it was OUTSTANDING. Just pretty good. \n\nAll in all, I would definetely return again. I really liked this place. Thank you Blanco!

Pretty cool. the rooms have these insane projector screens. I did not like the fact that there was no casino in the lobby and they did not heat their outdoor pool. other than that, it was great....

I love staying at the Flamingo, but this last visit was less than satisfactory. Room 11050 needs some attention. The bed was horrific! 2 nights on that bed, and I'm experiencing back pain n aches! The bathroom is super small with a little round mirror in the bathroom... Hard for 2 people to get ready at the same time. I love the updated decor, but decor isn't comfortable... Update your beds at the very least!

This was the first time we had ever eaten at a Hooters and it was actually a very pleasant surprise! The food was tasty and the service was good. I loved the shirt I bought at the store but I left it on the monorail which was VERY upsetting. \nI think I'll be back!

This is really the only reason I venture to the Mills mall. The home furnishings, the handbags, the jewelry, the clothes, oh my! I came here recently in search of a cocktail dress and although I couldn't find anything I liked, they were having a 35% off sale so I scored some Father's Day loot. I can always find something great here. One star off for always looking dirty and disheveled - I know you're a Last Call at the Mills but you're still a Neiman Marcus.

I normally HATE chain Irish pubs, but this particular one is a cut way above the rest. \n\nGreat food, very very nice staff, a perfectly poured pint of Guinness, and great (meaning talented and not obnoxious) Irish/Scottish entertainment.

Very. Good fish sandwich and rhubarb pie. 3. 2. 2012

Live in Uptown or surrounding neighborhoods? Love sushi? Appreciate delivery? KO Sushi needs to be your next phone call. Delivery guys/gals are always pleasant and arrive on their mopeds rain or shine or snow. Sushi is really good for delivery. It's cheap and they even have combo platters for a discount. I usually go with the #11, which comes with 2 basic maki rolls for $7. Spicy tuna and spicy veggie call are the choices. I then order the shrimp tempura and godzilla roll. Make sure to specify how many sets of chopsticks you need as well as your soy choice...fully leaded or low sodium. Order usually arrives in under 45 minutes. Well worth the wait!

Went back two days ago and was pleasantly surprised that they now use plastic containers! Not as good as paper but at least it's recyclable!

We always have good service here and the food is always plentiful...if you leave hungry you didn't order anything...the portions are big so keep that in mind when ordering
1
House margarita is served up.. which would be ok if they actually shook it to ice cold.. service slow and questionable. Food was ok, view from patio was great people watching.

My coworker and I came here after a busy nightshift. Overall the food was good (we both ordered the chicken fried steak) but the service was poor. The gentleman clearing tables was rude and told us they were \""too busy\"" to allow us to sit on the empty corner table and made us squish in between other parties. After a crazy shift this is definitely not the place to unwind! \n\nOur waiter was not very attentive and my coworker was never offered a refill on her diet coke the whole time we were there. The food was alright, but nothing spectacular. I wish I would've tried the Pumpkin French Toast. I told myself I would get it next time....at this point I'm not sure if we will go so far out of our way again. There are better breakfast joints much closer.

Went for HH. The staff was friendly. Nice atmosphere. The drinks were wonderful. The mahi tacos were good, but a little bland. The ahi roll was delicious though!
1
Not sure if I I just ate chicken... Or a cat... Weird texture meat. Sauce was odd in the tikka masala and the naan... Well... It was more like a pita - too thick and spongy... 2 of 5 even with rice. Will not recommend.

Funny how my previous review from May 5, 2012 keeps getting deleted! So much for consistency. I'll be on YELP every day reposting for each deletion. \n\nOriginal review from 5/5/12:\n\n\nexperienced our first bout with real discrimination today at the Salty Senorita near Arrowhead Mall. To prepare for Cinco de Mayo, all of the handicapped spaces were barricaded to allow for the anticipated lines to the entrance. I approached one of the staff members and advised them that my husband is disabled and required access (not to mention it being ILLEGAL and a FEDERAL OFFENSE to not offer disabled parking spaces). Other staff members joined the conversation and advised that this was a special event so they had the right to block off the spaces. \""Oh really? Where is your permit?\"" I asked. One guy looked at my husband and said loud enough for me to overhear - \""he's not really handicapped anyway\""..... LOOK DUDE - walk a mile in my husband's shoes and you'll know what it feels like to have a titanium rod in your leg, metal pins holding your spine together and enduring head trauma that required TWO craniotomies, a liver laceration, 7 broken ribs and internal damage that left a scar from nipple to hip. When you've done that, you'll understand how he deserves to park just a little closer to your establishment than someone who doesn't have those issues. PRICK! Lucky for you, my husband didn't have his cane with him or I would have knocked you off your feet with it. \n\nTo all my Phoenix area friends, please boycott Salty Senorita's...

I've now eaten at a few Sauce locations and every experiance has been very positive. I really enjoyed the airport location because I travel a lot and have found often times you don't find good food at airports. The food came out quick which is great when you have a flight to catch. They boxed it up for me nicely which made it easy for my to take leftovers onto the plane if I wanted.\n\n I've tried a few of the pastas and they are all great, my fav is the Chicken & broccoli pasta, delicious. Sauce has also help me find a new favorite wine, Snoqualmie, which is difficult because I am so picky when it comes to my wine. Has to be sweet and fruity. Cheers to you Sauce !!

My friends and I went through guest list where we were supposed to get there by 11pm. The line was super long, but we all ended up getting in okay.\n\nLoved the lights! and Bassjackers definitely were awesome live!!! This night was super crowded like the other new clubs in Vegas. My friends and I mostly hung out upstairs. The entertainment was great. Can't wait to come again...

Just kidding.\n\nApparently I didn't appreciate smoked salmon benedicts quite enough.\n\nIf this restaurant were a person, the first thing it would say is: \""Get your fatass back here and eat this damn food.\""\n\nDon't fight it.

A lot of people like/love Dillion's. I'm not one of them. A truly good BBQ is an art form and Dillion's BBQ is not even close, certainly not \""the best in the valley.\"" What you get in portion size (huge) does not make up for the lack of great BBQ flavor and tender meat. The only reason we went back after our first lackluster meal a couple of years ago, was because of a group event.\n\nIt's kind of a dingy place, disjointed in the layout, and not even cute folksy d\u00e9cor - like it was decorated by a committee. Service was lacking - waitress didn't know the menu. I asked if the peaches on the peach salad were fresh and she said yes. She then came back and told me they were canned peaches - really? And this in peach season?? Get a clue, Dillon's! Then on top of it, she got an order wrong - and we kept having to ask for water.\n\nI agree with other Yelper's - there are much better BBQ places around.

Decided to come here today instead of Hot N Juicy. I have been here before and thought I would try the \""new item\"" BC Cajun Chowder described as \""thick and hearty served with a scoop of white rice.\"" The server asked if I wanted it with rice. I asked if I could have the rice on the side because I didn't want too much rice. She said \""no we can't make substitutions\"". An item that comes with rice and my only request is to put the scoop of rice in another cup instead of mixing together, can not be accommodated? Really BC? No thanks, keep it. Next time Hot N Juicy for sure!

We went for lunch today at 11:30 and the doors were locked despite signs all over saying \""now open\"" so I'm giving it 1 star. There were waiters inside who quickly moved away from the door when we approached. I have no idea what that was about. We'd love to try it and will give it a shot again later, but it was an odd experience to say the least.

What a gem this place is. When I moved to Charlotte in 2005 the only decent Asian grocery was over near Tryon and Sugar Creek. A hike for me, and the selection and service were poor. And have you seen that pothole ridden parking lot? Grand Asia is super clean and the staff are pleasant and helpful. And what's not to like about a grocery store with Bruce Lee posters on the walls? They inspire me to eat like a champ!\nIf you're like me (adventurous but can't read anything but English) just ask someone at the store what a label reads and they will help you decide if it's something worth trying! The one time I asked for help from an employee who didn't speak English, he gestured for me to wait there and he summoned someone else who could understand me.\nI've had the food at the hot counter and everything I had was delicious. If you don't want to go for the two-choice deals, the cook will make you something to order off their menu. Again, if you aren't sure about something just ask. The bakery is terrific. Creme filled rolls are awesome. And the chiffon cake is fantastic. They recently added some Filipino bakery items that get delivered on Fridays but on the day I was there they only had ensaymada. I was hoping to get some pan de sal. They always have samples, or an offer of free iced coffee, or some other generous gesture.\nThe produce is terrific, and there is an extensive refrigerated and frozen section.

My precious pooch attends Pup Scouts at Alta Vista and wow, do they have the doggie day care business down. I've been to Dog Day Care facilities all over the city and this is the one that's stuck. The staff are caring, well-trained and do perform a temperment test on new pups. The dogs rotate between one-on-one time with each other, with employees, and group time. This is the first place my dog has ever willingly gone knowing I was going to leave him. \n\nOllie gives Alta Vista four paws up!

OMG the food was absolutely amazing. We came here today for a noon lunch. I got the special which was an omelette made with Bacon, Turkey, and Mozzarella Cheese with a side of potatoes. I ate the whole freaking thing with no remorse. Good service and amazing view of the golf course. Highly recommended!

This is just terrible. Not only have they almost doubled the prices of almost every other Burger King as well as expecting you to pay tax, but they don't even have the full menu. Despite being unhappy about the price, I opted for a substitute, that should have been good- it had onion rings, bacon and BBQ sauce. My bun was a bit burnt and the flavors all bland. Not worth it at all.

Not really a fan, but it is always crowded, so I might be in the minority here. Drinks are super cheap and it is about 5 minutes from my house, so I might come back, but probably not.

This Place has the worst most disrespectful host I have ever experienced in this town.. I was with a party of 3 showed up at 7:30pm this evening.. The HOST with The huge black rimmed glasses said there are no table sand Nothing at the sushi Bar and no tablea available.. He flat out Lied to me.. Then after waiting 45 mins and we are the only people left waiting (seated on small wooden bench) we watches several families walk put of the restaurant and then another party of 4 comes in and he immediately seats them!! I promptly walked out Hungry tired Never to return to this place!! Please dont even bother going here there are plenty of other great sushi bars in Las vegas!!!

This place is terrible. Live near here and have gone many a times to meet for a late night meal or a breakfast on the weekends. We finally stopped going because our orders were always wrong, the food was even worse than standard Denny's fare, and the staff is horrible. Hickeys all over their necks, dirt under finger nails, greasy grimy hair, dirty uniforms were the final straw. Go over to the IHOP at 19th and Northern. It's not fabulous but at least the staff is decent....

I stopped in at Len\u00f4tre for a quick latte and muffin for breakfast on my recent stay at Paris. I ordered a soy latte, but they have no soy. I asked for a non-fat instead, but they only serve 2%. I settled for a 2% latte and a bran muffin. The latte was not good. Maybe I'm just used to my soy lattes, but this late was pretty bad. The muffin was good, but not $9 worth of good, which is what my latte and muffin cost me. There are better options out there.

Service was horrible, the waiter didn't seem like he was interested in even being there. When we asked for suggestions he was not very helpful and right as we were going to ask something else, he had already left. Didn't come back for 10 minutes....\n\nThe food was OK. The BBQ shrimp left a lot to be desired. The Mac and cheese, truffle was ok, a bit watery for my taste. I expected a lot more from an Emeril establishment.\n\nIn a word, disappointing....

We were looking for a late evening meal in Vegas and found this restaurant tucked away at the Bellagio. We had a sampling of appetizers and really enjoyed everything. The bread to star the meal was delicious, as were the pork buns, the squid, the cauliflower soup, and the fried rice. We did wish that we got more than 2 pork buns with our order, especially for the price. We do think my husband got an upset stomach from the oysters he ordered (I didn't have any), hence the 4 stars.

This review is for the Home Loans department located at this address. The mortgage loan officer that we were assigned at this location didn't act very welcoming at all and she didn't explain anything to us about the mortgage loan process. Thank the Lord I had a really good realtor that explained everything to me. The loan officer at this location would take forever to return emails or phone calls and always acted bothered when we asked her questions. It was such a relief when our loan was moved to another loan officer who was in Texas and communicated very well as well as answered all of our questions in a timely manner. If you want a good loan officer do not go to this location.

Slice window review!\n\nSkip! ... end of review. The only time you should be here is if you're in too much of a rush to eat anywhere else. Due to the chewy dough, unremarkable sauce and the fact that they might have been sitting there all day, all of the slices are mediocre at best. Everything seems pretty low quality, maybe a slight step up from Domino's or Papa Johns. It seems like you can get some higher quality items inside, so maybe do yourself a favor and eat in there, but from what I've seen from the 3 slices I've rocked here, that might not be much better. \n\nPrices: $4 plain slice, $5 one topping, $5.75 specialty slices...bleh\nCompare that to Pop Up Pizza who is serving 2 specialty slices and a soda for $7 and some change :/

Let see: Slow service, subpar tasting food and a waiter hovering around our table pretty much sums it up. \nNever will go here again. \nOrdered the Belgian waffle (doughy and came with a pecan syrup that tasted like nothing and was watery. \nThe eggs were ok. Hard to mess that up.\nThe hash browns were solid\n\nWhat irked me was the waiter who was slowly cleaning up our table while our group was working out the bill, peeking over to see our tip. The service was slower than average, considering we had to wait over 30 min for our food. I might had well have gone back there and cooked my own da** waffle

Omg!!! I can't believe this place, I move to phoenix a year ago and for this past year my husband and I have past by but never went in until today. We went for a late lunch date and jjjjjesus crist! By far the worse! First it was kinda empty and we waited 10-15min just to be seated. My husband asked for a glass of water and the girl who sat us simply said \"" oh I'm not your waiter\"" so ok fine he could wait to take his meds no problem. We sat there for another 15min with no drinks and no attention. While the waiter was flirting and talking with the hosts. Finally we call him and he was upset we took him from his unofficial break I guess, he took our orders, and brought the food and drinks almost at the same time. We had no utensils and I notion to the waiter so he could come and bring us some but he simply motioned me back to wait. So my husband got up and took some utensils from a near by table the reason we waited thru the bad service was because some of our friends recommended. We start eating his food was cold it seems like it had been ready for a while but our waiter simply left it there, until he felt like bringing it to us. We never got a refill, the food wasn't as good since we tried it almost cold, and well the service was horrible. We told our friends they said \""oh yeah we forgot to tell you NOT to try that one.\"" That they had experience similar service experience on this location. As of today I do not plan to try the other place any time soon because of this experience and will NOT be back here! Not worth the $56 we paid and yes I didn't leave a tip.

Good beer on tap, delicious sandwich (The Pear is a favorite), and rotating art shows. Also a few nights with live music. I tend to pass by this place on first friday as it gets a bit crowded, but other than that, I have no complaints about this restaurant. Chill vibe, and tasty treats, whats not to love.

This is one one of my favorite burger joints! Yeah, I grew up on In-N-Out like my husband and then he took me here last year... Boy, did it change my religion! I still like my old go-to places, but this is one of the few places where both he and I have gone to different locations and have had both food/service consistently great. \n\nBurgers melt in your mouth and the smash fries are a must! Tossed in olive oil and rosemary... Nom non nom! I've paid $13 for a burger alone somewhere else and this one beats it out of the park. Though it's still pricey, it's worth every cent.\n\nI love our Tempe Marketplace location the most. The staff is ridiculously helpful and sweet. They seem cheerful and not fake about it. You know? I just have too many good thoughts for Smash Burger to list, so I'm done lol

My famous last words before dinner were: how can you screw up fried food? Well, Pete's found a way! The general consensus was that Pete's takes delivery of their rectangular fish patties from the same general supplier McDonald's must use. Not that this is the most terrible thing in the world - I myself am a lover of the occasional Filet-O-Fish, but I guess when a place's claim to fame is \""fish and chips\"" you kind of expect REAL battered fish and chips, malt vinegar, or at least some fried clams, hush puppies, or real zucchini spears. Alas, none of the above. Joseph Malin would have turned over in his grave. Even my eight year old daughter was left wondering what kind of fish produces rectangular filets and what kind of shrimp comes shaped like a flat plank. I found the experience likened to that of volunteering to chaperone a children's carnival: glad I tried it once, I might even get guilted into doing it twice after the selective amnesia kicks in, but I'll never do it on purpose again. In my experience \""cash only\"" places are generally worth making the extra stop at an ATM for; meh, Pete's - not so much.

Terrible. Food was flavorless and we had multiple dishes that we ordered to try. Worse than Chinese food at the mall. Would not recommend.

SO MUCH AWESOME!! What can I say that hasn't already been said... I'll keep this short and sweet :) Everything was so well planned and executed by our lovely CM, Nikki W. and vendors! The weather was on point to spend a night out at the NC Music Factory noshing and imbibing the night away. My fave... The sliders from Street Spice!! I'll be stalking that food truck soon... Huge shout out to Nikki for putting together this awesome night and all the businesses that came out to dish out their goods!

They have consistently good quality food at Four Peaks. I prefer the patio at the Tempe location (by far), but this will definitely work for a beer and a solid lunch any day. I wouldn't suggest come here to drink, this location is really more of a restaurant. Though they do have several of their own brews that I can vouch for.

So amazing! My boyfriend and I were craving a good breakfast burrito. We are pretty picky about our breakfast burritos but the reviews were good and prices looked decent so we figured we would try this place. \n\nWe both got the carne asada breakfast burrito add guacamole. The burrito was a perfect size. And the portions of meat, potato cheese and guacamole was perfect. The potatoes are a little crunchy which I loved! They have a good variety of different burritos. I can't wait to come back here and try something different. \n\nThe service was amazing. The staff was funny and energetic. It looks like a place where u order then they call your number and you get up and grab your meal but we sat down and they brought our food to us. 3 different staff members asked how we were and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. The owner was working and out talking to everyone. Making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. He came over and made sure we got refills before we left. Honestly all around this place was great! Such a good spot to go to before your own the road or if you don't want to spend too much money but want a good meal. It's very casual so if your looking for something fancy this isn't the place for you. SO GOOD!!

I had no idea that the Little Gem was in Scottsdale... My colleague and I were on sales calls in Scottsdale and lunch time came around.. of course with so many great choices-Karen said \"" Have you been to Arcadia Farms.. I said No I had hear great reviews but never went... WOW! The setting is something out of SOHO in NYC-- very trendy but authentic... Great service and I ordered the goat cheese, wild mushroom tart ( like a mini quiche without the egg...) so very buttery and gooey and tasty.. It was divine! Don't miss out on this sophisticated cafe.... Great food and the setting is like you are in an older home for the early 1900's.. patios and lace! Love it..

They have my daughter a really stale hard donut and they were out of croissants. This location is cleaner than the others and they have great customer service, but the donuts we got just weren't very good. Maybe it was an off day.

I went here for lunch by myself and it took almost 30min to get my food. To top it off the rice and house salad that went with my bento box they forgot and I had already got my main dish. When I got my check they still paid me full price! Needless to say the food was good but not worth going back AT ALL. Poorly organized, cramped space, and poor service....

This was my first visit to HUB's, we decided to check this place out for MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!! GO COWBOYS! We were greeted as soon as we walked in, asked for a booth close to the big screen and the waitress was very accommodating, they have a good amount of food choice from salads to burgers,wings,sandwiches.. And a lot of beers on tap! Our service was good, we both had the burger of the day which was a huge burger patty cooked to order,buffalo sauce,bleu cheese,lettuce,tomato,onion on a realllyyyy good pretzel bun! At first I didn't think I'd like it but it make my mouth very happy! The place was clean, a nice group of people there and good service ... What else could you ask for?

Great service. Allen is very professional and explains things so much clearer then any other company I've had out. He located and fixed problems our previous company had missed for months. I would recommend them to anyone for home or business

Awesome pizza, just like home, especially the Sicilian. Lots of toppings, and the dough was a good 2 inches thick. Well worth the wait.

Well, Groupon brought me to this place and after checking the place on Yelp I did not expect much first of all but ohhhh my...\nOk, so the room in general is not that bad for the money. You get your standard beds, TV, mini fridge ( no content; no this is not a mini bar) and can't complain. The bath room is plain to say the least but oh well you save money.\nBUT, the negatives are plenty. First of all, the check in was ridiculous. There were sixty people ahead of me and the service was very slow. Second, a huge cock roach popped up in the bathroom while I was washing my face and I mean HUGE. \nThird, the casino area is shameful, lol, I give it back, it's hilarious. It's so so bad and only fills up at two a.m. with some rough looking morning to evening drinkers. The bartender was really rude when I showed him my drink coupon. Also, the drinks were horrible.\nNow the worst part: the elevator to the parking structure. OMG, I got stuck in it and had to press the emergency button. Never happened to me before. Awkwardly, someone had opened the emergency box door before!!!\nOverall, yes this place is ghetto. really. But if you are trying to save money and to spend it on the strip, close your eyes, walk past the hallway and the casino and enjoy a mediocre room and a beautiful Las Vegas.

They correctly diagnosed and repaired an electric brake problem on my camp trailer. Honest skilled work at a fair price, with excellent communication. I highly recommend Eric and the guys at Lewis Hitches.

AMAZING!!!\nMy favorite Cirque show for sure. :)

I ate here a week ago and the service was badddddd they were rude and selfish the one girl was txt on her phone.. And I ask one of the young guy to wipe off the table and he took a paper towel and did it I was like eeeewwwww I bet his house is gross then the girl that bought are food out smell like hot sex lol idk.. Food is good here but not the service fuck that!!!

I'm not sure if it's related to the Xtreme suhi on Eastern but this one is so much better as far as the quality and the appearance of the food. The nigiri and rolls are made more neatly and more delicate and the fish also is definitely fresher. \n\nThe place is pretty small, we went with two small children, we ordered rice, chicken and miso soup for our 2 year old toddler and we didn't get charged for it so it's another plus. We'll definitely go back again.

This store is down right Stinky! The smell I endured on my last and final visit was enough to make me run and stick my face in a bowl of rotten eggs to mask it. \n\nThis store is very old and is in need of a serious remodel or just do me a favor and close it so I don't have a moment of insanity and walk up in here again! \n\nThe surrounding location is bad as they always have an employee standing at the door to prevent thefts and grab and run thieves. \n\nTheir food is not fresh, I bought a bag of chips o' hoy chocolate chip cookies and they were months expired and hard as a rock. I never really thought about checking expiration dates since I guess I was safe in assuming the store was on top of that. Boy was I wrong. When I returned them to the store so I could issue my complaint the clerk acted as if this was a common occurrence. Wowzers!\n\nAlso they had a major frozen dinner sale awhile back to clear out almost expired and some questionable items. That frozen section smelled rank and I was just offended and insulted at the same time!\n\nThe only redeeming factor is that the staff is friendly as they do have a good crew. \n\nI just don't have that \""Oh it smells so clean and fresh let's buy groceries feeling\"" when here. Instead it makes me want to flip a B and leave thankful that I have a shower at my house. It makes me thankful for having a working toilet. It makes me thankful for having a washing machine. It makes me thankful for that cute little rose pink bar of soap on my bathroom sink. \n\nI have put myself through misery for the last MFG time!

Over the top service and very cool atmosphere! \n\nI had a Volcano Roll and Love Affair roll. Both my wife and I absolutely loved! Best Sushi we have ever had in Vegas. And we live here.

Called because of burnt mushrooms and they said that's how they cook them disgusting never again

I walked by Slickable's many times, and wasn't allured by the cookie display enough to merit a purchase, although eventually I managed to pull myself in to try an ice cream sandwich.\nDespite how the cookies appear dry and generically standard, they went down surprisingly well, especially with the ice cream. I had a caramel ice cream with the caramel-chocolate cookies.

It was almost 6 pm on Friday and the oil light on my Nissan Pathfinder came on as I was about to pull into my garage. In a panic I reversed course and headed to the first auto service center I could find; luck was on my side.\n\nI pulled in Brakes Plus on North Tatum, it was 5 minutes to 6 and I asked if it was possible to get a quick oil change. The manager, Jason, told me that his crew had just clocked but he volunteered to add oil to my crankcase, he also made an appointment for an oil change the next morning. Apparently I was down 3 quarts of oil which Jason personally added. When I asked how much I owed him Jason said no charge; I was impressed and relieved.\n\nSaturday morning I was there bright and early and explained to Michael, the service manager of the day, my story and he got me fixed up. After a quick check of my Pathfinder they realized that my oil coiler was the cause of my leak and made arrangements to have it fixed. Rather than wait in the lobby Brakes Plus gave me a ride home and picked me up when the work was completed.\n\nThe oil cooler seals were replaced and the oil changed. They also made me aware of a couple other items that would need tending to in the near future. The costs were very reasonable and under the circumstances I was very grateful that I had found some people that I could trust. Fate sometimes smiles. The good news for me is that Brakes Plus is just down the road and staffed with a nice group of people. Thanks guys.

Great cheesesteaks! They have Cheez Whiz !! I have been searching for the best cheesesteak in Phoenix and I think I found it. Staff was very friendly. They have chicken cheesesteaks and even stuff for the kids and vegetarians (soup, grilled cheese, salads).\nStaff is attentive, place is clean, they move you thru quickly cause it can get crowded at lunch time. Some tables outside which is nice when the weather accommodates. \nStuffed fairly generously with steak. The regular was plenty with a side of fries. Can get regular or sweet potatoe fries. Fry sauce was just okay. Not as good as I had in Utah.

Excellent BBQ and exceptional service! Celeste was very friendly and treated us just like family!! We will be back to try more! We had the ribs, briskett, and pulled pork.....YUM!!!

We pass by this restaurant daily and it's always packed so we decided to finally try it. Once we realized the type of food we were so excited to try it! It was close to closing so there wasn't many tables but our server was awesome and very attentive. Perfect example of why you should explain menu specials....we ordered everything he recommended! Very good food, different for Las Vegas which made it exciting. While at dinner we were coming up with a list of friends and family we wanted to bring back!

Ate here for the first time this evening. I've heard a lot of good things about this place and figured it was about time I checked it out.\n\nFirst and foremost this is a locals casino. There is a lot that comes along with that. Usually kind of run down atmosphere, usually the smell of smoke in the air, and a lot of noise. This place was no different.\n\nAs far as the food goes, it wasn't awful. I would compare it to outback only cheaper, or TGIF/Applebees. It's not awful, it's not amazing.\n\nI will say that the staff was amazing. A+ for the employees.

What a find. In a strip mall nestled between a bank, clothing stores and overnight shipping is Giuseppe's. A family owned and run establishment where byob is the way to go. This reminds me of countless small mom and pop's back in The City. The staff is friendly, the portions sizable and the check small to medium. In fact, I can't believe I haven't reviewed this restaurant before. Whether on a date, or with the family, I've never had a bad experience in the dozens of times I've been there. From the veal parmagian (sp?) to the eggplant, from the fettucine to the spaghetti and meatbeals... mama mia. It is a small venue, with very limited outdoors seating during good weather. And the locals know about it, so it gets pretty packed Thursday through Sunday. The salads and appetizers are delicious as well... If this restaurant had been in Spinal Tap, it would get \""an eleven\""...

Really nice waitress but they really need to up the ante on their vegetarian options. They don't even have a plain marinara sauce option for spaghetti!

A very nice place. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch, my salad was nice and fresh and my guess enjoyed their meals also. The view is very nice if you get a window seat and the service is very efficient and I would recommend it to a friend. Anytime you're in Charlotte stop by and have a nice meal there.

We ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place! Kids Kingdom is by far the AWESOMEstestestet play place for toddlers. We came here for the first time yesterday for a birthday party, and we seriously can't get enough of this place. So, of course we HAD to come back today for more fun :-). All I can say is \""WOW\""!!! There's so much for toddlers/kids to do here. Kids were so busy having the time of their lives, while we parents can relax on their super comfy couches. My daughter and friend's son did not want leave. The owner, Tom, was very friendly(he already addressed my daughter by her name); This place is very clean; I was really impressed when I saw Tom constantly wiping down the toys and picking up after the kids. It really shows that he takes pride in ownership. Although it's quite a drive for us, we will frequent this fun place often!

Beautiful theater. Parking was a little frustrating (as a newbie to the area, I didn't realize there was a parking garage), but other than that, what a fantastic find! \n\nI love not having to battle crowds, the food/drink selection is very nice, such comfortable seating. They also hosted a screening of Denis Leary's documentary \""Burn\"" which I have been dying to see, nice to find a place that shows independent films/documentaries.\n\nFan.

A small useless company run by amateurs. Very disappointed in the lack of concern towards me. Not worth the hassle of signing their lease , very poor and shameful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a major disappointment. I always thought the old Simon at the Hard Rock was kind of unimpressive, so I was convinced that the new Simon would definitely be an improvement. Wrong.\n\nThey really missed the mark on this one. The space is beautiful, I will give them that. A very chic and clean ambiance, while you dine poolside and check out the view of the Palms fantasy tower.\n\nThe positives pretty much end there. The fact of the matter is that their food sucks. Period. We ordered the crispy creamy rock shrimp, the garganelli pasta with lobster, clams and peas and the chicken curry. The rock shrimp were mediocre. Not bad, but not good. Somewhat soggy. Our entrees, however, both sucked hardcore. My pasta had a somewhat sweet flavor, and I felt like the lobster use was stingy in addition to being overcooked. And, the pasta was not al dente at all-it was actually falling apart. My friend's entree was straight up bad. The curry was way to thin and liquidy, and the chicken was dry and overcooked. We ended up sending that dish back, and the friendly busser told us that most customers don't like that dish in particular, in addition to my pasta as well. She was surprised I didn't send the garganelli back too. I'd also like to mention that the bread bowl that I had been looking forward to all day was disappointing as well! The old Simon had MUCH better, fresher bread varietals. The pretzel bread was dry and stale, and all the other breads were \""eh\"", and COLD.\n\nIn addition to the mediocre food, both me and my friend thought the attractive female bartender was rude and bitchy. And, don't be fooled my friends, the Pineapple Mojito made with \""fresh pineapple\"" is NOT actually made with fresh pineapple but canned pineapple juice. Bleh. I will mention that our server was extremely friendly and put up with my high maintenance bullshit very well. Props to him.\n\nGo back to what you were doing before, Kerry Simon. Cause this definitely 'aint an improvement. Will not be back unless there are some mayjah changes with the menu.

I thought this location was great. Not near as crazy as the one at Fashion Square and easier to find sizes and inventory. Good prices like always and cute clothes. The only reason I'm giving this location 2 stars is for the service we received. When we went to check out I asked Vanessa, the clerk behind the counter if she would mind to let me know the price on each item as she rung it up. Everything was on a clearance rack but I wasn't sure if they were hung in the wrong spot or really on sale since they weren't marked. She was immediately annoyed with me and said that she guessed she could do that and then proceeded to no do that at all. She rung everything up and literally threw it in a bag. Then I asked for the receipt and she snapped at me that it was already in the bag. Before I'd even left the register she was reaching for the next person's items to ring them up. \n\nI completely get wanting to get to everyone in a timely manner but that shouldn't mean you give bad customer service.

Went in with my parents for a \""quick\"" slice of pizza to tie us over until dinner. Guy behind the counter said it would be right up. After 5 minutes or so I asked the lady up front how much longer. Since there was nowhere to sit we sat outside in the cold. She said she would bring it out to us. So a moment later she comes out and tells us there are no more slices and it will be like 8 minutes longer. Why didn't the guy tell us that in the first place?\n\nBy now we move inside into the loud, cramped dining room. Pizza arrives and I ask for silverware. Silverware is filthy with water stains.\n\nWorst part was the pizza. Terrible. Too much stringy cheese, dough without flavor, sauce watery crap. I can't believe they call this ny pizza.\n\nPlease...save yourself the money and the time and stay away from this poor excuse for a pizza joint.

Winner winner vegan dinner!\n\nSO in love with this place... after hearing that Stephen Wynn is a Vegan and all his restaurants are somewhat vegan friendly, I was beyond thrilled to try this place!\n\nWas seated immediately upon entering. Our server was very quick and took our drink orders. Came back with our drinks with generous amounts of pretzels + dipping sauce. I asked him if the pretzel had butter or if the sauce had dairy... no butter, yes dairy in the sauce. within 3 minutes he came back with a vegan version of the dipping sauce. IMPRESSIVE! Was the most flavorful thing I've tasted since going vegan... just kidding (half kidding).\n\nOrdered:\nOrecchiette pasta (Foraged Mushrooms, Asparagus, Green & Yellow Beans,\nRoasted Tomatoes, Brussels Sprouts, Broccoli Rabe) - $19 This pasta was delicious! I was surprised with how present the flavors were for being made without red or alfredo sauce. Amazing! I'm a bit picky with pasta and this was just perfect! Not try at all and the perfect texture. Highly recommend!\nSociety Vegetable Tasting (Red & White Quinoa, Grilled Artichoke, Abalone Mushrooms,\nRoasted Beets, All Things Green) - $20 SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN' AMAZING! Hands down the BEST roasted beets I've ever had in my life. It literally melted in my mouth. The green consisted of asparagus and green beans which was also very good. I kid you not, the quinoa was life changing. I pride myself in making the best quinoa, but this place takes the gold medal.... I still get silver. Everyone at my table seemed to enjoy it as well :) Vegan or not, I highly recommend this dish. It would be great as an appetizer to share.\n\nPrices are reasonable for the quality of food you get. Presentation is beautiful and service is just remarkable. I can't wait to try the other restaurants at Encore and the Wynn!

I'm still trying to figure out how I lived seven-ish years in Ahwatukee, and somehow missed out on Los Taquitos! \n\nCame here a few weeks back with Yelpers Monica O., Cheryl B., Shannon E. and Rick N. for a lovely workday lunch. \n\nIf it's your first visit, you absolutely MUST try the infamous street tacos. \n\nMy first go, I tried the Carne Asada, Pollo, and Fish three taco meal with rice and beans. \n\nThey were all delicious, but the Carne Asada was the star. Some of the best I've had in a long time. The spices worked well together, and no tough pieces were to be found. \n\nThe Red Salsa they top everything with is nothing short of amazing. It's not blazing hot, but tastes great. \n\nI enjoyed it so much I dragged my Dude back out a Saturday that same week, where we discovered the Carnitas are right up there with the Carne Asada! \n\nVery tender, and it tasted like some type of apple and brown sugar rub was used. \n\nAnd again for another workday lunch when I got stuck on a client call and missed a vendor provided lunch.\n\nThis place is small and gets packed at high noon quickly.\n\nCall it a dive; call it a dump. If you're coming here for ambiance (not delicious tacos), you're doing it wrong!\n\nI look forward to trying other menu offerings at Los Taquitos, but for now, I'm hung up on those amazing street tacos.\n\nUpdate 9/18: Tried the Bombero Burrito con Pollo. Do not order this if you hate spicy; also, it's massive (see photos) so SHARE. Barely ate half! Was able to sample the Vegetarian tacos, also delicious.

They steal from their customers! I actually liked this place - thought it was cute. Wine and pizza were good. However, my $11.00 bar tab magically became an $80.00 bar tab. I had to spend 2 hours with my bank to 'prove' to the merchant that I didn't alter my tab. If you go, pay with cash and count every penny you get back. Won't be back and I'll tell everyone I can that they try to steal from their customers.

I had a great experience here. I went when it was slow, but I was very pleased with the service. I had the Neptune patter that include shrimp, calamari, scallops, and tilapia fingers. The sides were fried broccoli, carrots, zuchinni, and red peppers along with steamed cabbage and carrots seasoned with Thyme. It also came with what looked like Jalapeno cornbread. Everything tasted fresh and had it's own flavor unlike some of the fried food that you get. They have a very diverse and unique menu and I respect an establishment that has the guts to do that. I will definitely be back.

*grumble grumble* is the sound my tummy was making before I ate.\n*grumble grumble* is the sound I'm making now because I'm displeased.\n\nI ordered the broccoli cheese soup, a marshmallow treat (which was really all I wanted, but needed to get something lunch-ish to justify the delivery to myself) and a turkey sandwich.\n\nThe soup was watery *sigh*\n\nThe marshmallow treat was absent *boohoohoo*\n\nThe sandwich was ok, nothing earth shattering, not particularly toasty, but good enough for me to take 4 bites. \n\nI ordered online and had it delivered (yes, I'm lazy, but I really just didn't feel like going out into the full-blown dusty, habooby monsoon). Instead of telling me they didn't have any marshmallow treats, they tried to bribe me with their chocolate chunk cookie and a brownie. I'm not a big fan of chocolate, so I don't consider either of those items an acceptable bribe for my silence. Also, if you don't have something I ordered, just tell me. I'm really easy to talk to. *pinky swear* You can call me, text me, or say it when you deliver it, but don't make it so that I have to discover the missing item for myself...that's lame. \n\nSorry guys, but your food is just too expensive (seriously, it's just a sandwich, stop feeling yourselves so much!) to walk away less than 100% happy...and stop adding water to cheese soup. That's gross and chintzy.

Fantastic koobideh! Been to a bunch of Persian places in NYC and Toronto and this place ranks highly. The meat is very good quality and BBQ'ed to perfection. They also serve Persian tea for free!

Delicious and inventive!! \n\nSometimes I'm wary of fusion food and \""modern\"" cuisine when the concept compromises actual taste. Yonaka did an impeccable job of bringing new flavors to traditional Japanese foods, incorporating fresh ingredients from around the world. \n\nWe tried the ten course tasting menu, ordering two sets for our table of six and were not disappointed! Each dish was impeccable in taste and presentation. The meal built perfectly, nothing was too heavy so we could enjoy every course. The flavors were all unique, with combinations like Hokkaido scallops with strawberries, black pepper, and cilantro. Who knew how delicious that could taste?!! Even the simple starter, watermelon with fish sauce and mint~ was perfect in taste and timing. The unique taste grabbed our attention and got us psyched to try whatever was coming next. There was blue fin tuna, yucca and kale chips, red radishes, grilled potatoes, delicate sauces all craftily combined for perfect bites. We had unique sashimi, flying fish included! All great. \n\nBy the 8th course, we were definitely getting full. The 9th course was a dashi/rice/egg/stew kinda delicious concoction, that easily filled up anyone who was somehow still hungry. And the desserts were pieces of art (we had two different types, with many delightful combinations on each plate-- mango mousse and coconut, strawberry mint ice cream, green tea brownie, strawberry chocolate milk.... YUM). It wasn't too sweet, which our indulged bellies appreciated. \n\nThe decor is simple and elegant, service was timely, friendly, and each dish was explained thoroughly (a tough task with all those ingredients and courses)!\n\nAlso, the fresh ginger ale was perfect and helped me digest all the amazing food Yonaka served up!! Thanks for a memorable meal!

It's open until 2am, which is cool because Dim Sum sounds like a good idea at about midnight. But I go in around 10, the place is really dead, and I try to order. The guy looks at me like I'm an idiot and says Dim Sum is only mornings. \""We're authentic\"" he says with an attitude normally reserved for the French.\n\nFair enough, I think. I've been to China, I know the drill. This is traditionally a morning thing, although they didn't give me grief when I was in Hong Kong asking for it for a later lunch, but whatever, we're going authentic here.\n\nIt would seem that the authenticity ends with the serving times, because the food was about as authentic as Panda Express. I'll say it falls more between PF Changs and Panda Express, but I don't think you'll find any Chinese willing to use the word authentic to describe any of those establishments either. \n\nTo be frank, the food kinda sucked. And the service was practically non-existent. The food came out quick, which is good, but keep in mind no one else was ordering. But then it got dropped off, no asking if everything's cool, and the guy then heads back to a table where the servers seem to be eating their dinner. \n\nIt's cool, I know everyone has to eat, but I don't think I'm being overly snobby to say that if our waiter is taking his dinner break, give us another waiter. After a 5 minute attempt to politely get his attention, I finally got up to retrieve a bottle of soy sauce myself. Not the end of the world, but not the type of service one would expect for a $60 dinner for two. \n\nGetting the check was a near similar hassle, but thankfully I was able to divert his attention away from the big TV long enough to drop that off. \n\nOh, and you know how when you get fortune cookies, not here, they're to \""authentic\"" for such Tom Foolery, but at other low quality places? You know that thin strip of paper inside the cooke that was your fortune on it? That's about the amount of lobster in their \""lobster\"" egg rolls. \n\nThe place blows. If you're in Vegas looking for a decent Chinese place, as a local I'd recommend Red 8 in the Wynn. It's not really any more expensive, it's much nicer, the servers are top notch, bordering on hovering, and the food is genuinely authentic, and fantastic. Tell them I sent you, and get a free blank stare of non-recognition. But seriously, that's the place for Chinese here in town.

Wanted some late night Thai and this place was a surprise with flavor. \n\nBF and I got \n\nBasil Scallops - for $12, they are generous with the scallops and the flavor of the basil was great on this with fresh, properly cooked scallops. Loved this. \n\nTofu Pad See You (their spelling, which is cute) - this was good as far as noodles go. Slightly sweeter than usual places and more heavy on the egg. I didn't mind it only because no matter what I always put a little bit of chili vinegar on mine to be tangy sweet but it may be a bit saccharine for some.\n\n No karaoke that night being done, but had music playing that sounded almost like a recording of karaoke which was funny and odd. \n\nIt left a good enough impression that the BF wanted to get scallops there again so we went back a week later. \n\nThis time we got scallops with ginger which was good, but bit too gingery for the BF and he preferred the basil style instead. \n\nWe also got tofu garlic pepper which was in a garlicky gravy like sauce. The garnish was generous with lettuce which I thought was kinda odd, but somehow worked well into being part of the dish when it was slightly wilted. \n\nThis time there was a guy with a guitar singing which was alright since the level wasn't too loud in there. It seems a lot of the complaints is because of the provided entertainment. I don't get it, I don't prefer it, but if I have to I won't mind so long as I can still have a conversation and be able to tune it out to background noise. \n\nService was alright both times...you may have to flag people down here if you need something but nothing too terrible of a wait for things. \n\nOverall, I like the food I've had here so I'll definitely come back. Maybe not for day, but late night choices are very important for night owls like us.

I had heard of this place but am not typically going to drive all the way downtown to try a new pizza place but we happened to be downtown on a Sat afternoon and drove by Pizza Rock and figured, why not give it a try.\nGlad we did. When walking in, the loud music piped in and around the entrance did give it that touristy feel but once you get inside, you could be anywhere in the suburbs. Downtown or not, it's very nice place...and much larger than I'd imagined. I thought it was just a place to grab a slice and go but it's got a nice menu of various pizza options, very nicely decorated inside, clean, comfortable and large! We had no issues with staff during our visit.\nPizza was excellent. We had the 12 inch American classic cheese and that was enough for 2 people easy. Salad was fresh, not your basic iceberg lettuce either, but spinach and other greens.

I have eaten here 4 or 5 times when in town. The food and service are always very good and I have never had a bad meal here. The steak is always cooked perfectly and has good flavor. The mac and cheese and various vegetable sides are always good. The potatoes can be salty at times but still decent.\n\nThe atmosphere is pretty good although the dining room is a bit crowded at times. The service has been attentive and pleasant each time without having the kind of snobbishness you sometimes encounter at a good steakhouse. They have been genuinely fun and helpful every time.\n\nI have had better steaks but Sullivan's has been consistently very good and I would recommend it to anyone looking for steak in Charlotte.

Our first time in Vegas, April of 2011. Best flight and hotel combo deal is why we chose the Luxor. What better way is there to gain an authentic experience by staying in the Pyramid? The angled exterior wall added to the quirky lure that is LV. Our room was clean, and the amenities nice. Check in was quick and easy, we arrived on a Thursday afternoon and departed on Sunday evening. I am not familiar with the peak days or times, but there was no line for check in, and check out was pretty busy yet efficient and problem free. They even checked our baggage for free for the few hours between check out and our flight later that evening so we could go and shop, gamble, eat, and log in a few more Elvis sightings. The staff at the desk very friendly, and helpful.\n The pool area is very clean and lovely - seating was a commodity so go stake your claim before lunch! Bar waitresses regularly checked in on everyone.\n Buffet was amazing, and good! Not like Bob's Big Boy food. I tried a little bit of everything of course, and was not disappointed by any of it!\n\nHaving wandered through many of the other hotel's gaming floors, I have to say I liked the Lux's the best! It was not as bright and flashy as the others - it was just as busy, but still felt more intimate and less distracting overall. Being just close enough to the action to walk everywhere, but not right in the middle of the chaos that is \""The Strip\"" was a definite plus! \n\nI highly recommend this as a first timer's stay to get your feet wet, and for the return tripper as well. Be prepared, yes there is a resort fee added when you get there, but that is standard when one books hotels at online bargain sites - they don't add that to your total price, and it is called Occupancy Fee at other places. I have found this staying around Pittsburgh, Roswell, NJ, etc. Don't fault the hotel(s) for that.\nCar rental was easy at the desk also.\n\nWe had internet in our room, but it was plug in only - across the room from the desk. Wierd. Hope they update this! Free WiFi for hotel guests would get 5 stars from me!

Midwood Smokehouse is a welcome addition to the Charlotte BBQ scene. Located in the ever burgeoning Plaza-Midwood neighborhood, Midwood delivers on the 'Q while at the same time adding modern flair with dishes like smoked vegetable bruschetta, smoked turkey and sausage and a Cuban sandwich. The pork BBQ was smoky and delicious and I love that they have 4 sauce options to choose from. The mac & cheese was a standout side and the hush puppies were tasty too. I look forward to going back to try the ribs, the pimento cheese fries and the desserts.

People were very friendly. Not much on the menu but hey why not keep it simple. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. What will keep calling me back is the cane sauce and Texas toast.

Nice place but beware of ANTIQUES ON WALL STREET booth. We purchased a desk from this woman's booth (they called her to bring keys) and she said that she was selling it for a friend of many years. She said she didn't know the friend's husband who owned the desk when we asked her if he smoked. The desk reeked of smoke or cigar smoke. Later I found out when i went to the restroom she told my SO when he asked if she would lower the price that she couldn't as she was selling it for the friend who needed the money to paint and recarpet because her husband smoked!! I called and left messages to talk to her about it 2 times with no return call. 5 weeks later and several treatments of vinegar, baking soda, etc. and we were able to bring it into the house.\n\nTHe desk was decently priced but the smoke smell was awful!! I know I had the choice not to buy it but she did lie when we purchased it.\n\nThat lie alone will negate any business i would do with her again. She should be ashamed of lying to make a sale. It discredits her as an antique dealer.

First off, service is a little slow here. From what I was seeing they're were only around 2 servers in the whole place and even though I was only taking a to go order I the servers still seemed a little confused on if we gotten our orders taken already which we already did. As I waited for our order I looked around to see some people eating in were looking around for the waitress. From that case, I figured the place was just under staffed. \n\nNow to the food it self, \nThe price ran about $12-14 for our vegetable tofu pho which is a little pricey for Pho but I let that issue pass since everything in Vegas is overpriced anyways. Now the taste is what really threw me off. First off it didn't even smell like pho. The broth smelled more like top ramen broth and the noodles thick and slimy. Lucky I was starving by that point so I just ate it anyways.\n\nOverall, \nWould I come back here? No. Was it worth my money? Not really.\nI probably wouldn't try a pho place around the strip again anyways since the strip itself caters more over to the traditional american, french, and italian food. If you want good pho you have better luck off the strip and exploring into town a little bit for it rather than the strip.

I went in for gas and the CC machine wasn't working properly. I had some gas in the car, but decided to fill it. Their gas prices are reasonable. I paid the clerk $20 with the same CC. Apparently, I only needed $17 worth. The clerk (caucasian man in his low-50's) refused to give me my 3 bucks back. He was a total ass!

The service is super friendly! The general menu items are above average, but the pozole is my favorite. My co-worker orders and loves their nachos. Their service with smiles from the guys helps bring people back.

We were starving one night and thought we would try this place out, not the best idea we had. The food is gross and over priced, and the service is bad. The only thing that we liked was the band. \n\nThis might be an alright place to have a drink but don't eat here.

First of all, a little context. We go to Vegas about once a month whenever we get bored with LA. That means we always grab last minute hotel deals, and we have stayed in a large number of hotels. Last week we went to Las Vegas for a show, and happened to stay at LVH. We are going again next week for the Supernatural Convention, and we will be at the Bellagio. Now, if I gave both the Bellagio and the LVH 4 stars, does it mean they are equally as nice? Hardly. Like many reviewers already know, you can score LVH at rock bottom prices. At one fifth of the cost of Bellagio, is the LVH only one fifth as nice? I'd say LVH is much better than that. It has the big Las Vegas hotel atmosphere (it used to be a Hilton). Big front entrance, bright and airy foyer, quick access to the check in counters (many large hotels make you grind through the casino area). Check in was quick and painless, although I must say that despite my effort to carry on a pleasant conversation with the clerk, she was all business and no smile. Curt, but not surly. \n\nThe room faced the strip, though at an angle, so you are not staring down the center of the strip. Nice enough view anyway. The size, decor and cleanliness were good enough for a 3 star hotel. Bathroom was clean. While not flawless, it was well maintained. Shower pressure was fine even though it won't give you the tropical downpour experience that I prefer. The toiletries were of near-lux quality as well. The only issue I had with the room was the thin wall. While the entire stay was nice and quiet, in the wee hours of Saturday morning (5am) I was awakened by some couple nearby (next room or upstairs) going at it for 30 minutes. By the sound of it, she was definitely having a good time. You can chalk it up as a bother, but I'd say it was free entertainment. \n\nIt's about price versus value. For the same cost of a nice dinner you get to stay in a pretty decent hotel, so don't be snotty and say this is not palatial or luxurious enough for you. Having said that, I have to take a star off because, along with many other anxious people, we had to wait 45 minutes for the valet to bring our car. Checkout time on Sunday is tough for all hotel valets in Las Vegas, but I didn't see any hustle from these guys. Tips for future guests: self-park on the night before you check out.

Mmmm...donuts. I work the night shift, so after a long 12 hour shift the last thing I feel like doing is going home and cooking breakfast. I wanted something different than McDonald's, Burger King, etc., so I Yelped for nearby donut shops totally expecting to find the normal chain restaurants. Thank God I found this one, because these donuts are seriously freaking awesome. The texture is perfect--light and fluffy. And the taste? Heavenly. I totally finished my two donuts (yes, two donuts, don't judge!) before I even reached my front door. At first I thought, \""Hmm, I'll just have a bite to see if these donuts live up to their reviews.\"" Well, that quickly turned into \""Holy crap, how fast can I shovel these things in my mouth?!\"" It was donut lovers nirvana. The price is amazing too. I think it was like $7.50 for a dozen, which is along the lines of the other donut places, grocery stores, etc. I can't believe I've passed by this place so many times without even knowing it was here! So, yeah, I'll be back for sure.

I declare this the best diner in Las Vegas.\n\nI ordered the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and hash browns.\n\nCorned Beef Hash: I'm always surprised at how different each diner will prepare the corned beef hash. This version offered tender diced onions along with crispy and salty corned beef. It was really good. Some places make their hash really mushy, but Blueberry Hill cooks it to the right consistency in my book. Crispy, but still moist.\n\nEggs: Surprisingly better than most places. The eggs had a silky smooth texture to it. I'm guessing they used a dash of cream in it.\n\nHash Browns: Best hash browns i've had at a diner. It was your typical shredded potatoes, however the hash browns were cooked to crisp perfection.

I tried to visit this store today but it was closed. When I asked a Von's employee why, they stated that the jamba Juice employee just didn't show up today. I usually go to Tropical Smoothie but have been trying to give this Jamba Juice location a chance for my business. I get a smoothie or wheatgrass shot every single day after the gym. This location has had poor service almost every time. Half the time the person working doesn't know how to make the wheatgrass. When I get a Matcha shot it is made different and placed in a different size cup almost every time. They have been late to open almost every time I have arrived at the posted opening hours. I would like to know from you why I should consider giving this company my business when they are going out of their way to chase me away?

I got my highlight done and I was in tears while examining it while at home. I liked the girl doing my hair personally but my hair was not what I wanted. I told her I wanted a light color of highlights and after she foils my hair, she tells me\"" oh by the way I put in the darker shade of blonde then you wanted\"" I wanted platinum highlights and I got caramel blonde highlights and it wasn't even throughout my hair, she missed multiple areas. I got great eyebrow threading there but I wouldn't recommend hair services by them. It's awful when you look at your hair crying and don't want to go back to that place for to fix the mistake and just cause more dissatisfaction. .

The food here was very good. They also have an excellent tequila menu.\n\nThe service was a little grumpy but I found that in almost all of the restaurants in Scottsdale, must be a Scottsdale thing.
