Case: I have been going to Las Vegas since Hooters was known as the San Remo, even though I may not been gambling at the time. When the hotel changed over to Hooters, it was actually a really fun place. It really felt like you were at Hooters restaurant just with gambling. Loved the casual atmosphere, fun girls and frankly, this kind of feeling felt perfect for Vegas. \n\nNow the resort was never anything special. The rooms were, and still are very small but when you were only spending three hours a day in them and you were either sleeping or showering, you did not really care. \n\nBut now, it seems that this hotel has taken a hard turn for the worst. The fun atmosphere seems to have been replaced by people who are always angry, from guests, to pit bosses to dealers. The vibe in there is bad and you mix that in with a below-average hotel, you can see why no one stays there anymore. \n\nI also use to win there a lot, at odd hours, but if I played between 2AM-6AM, I can almost guarantee winning, not anymore. Not that I blame the casino for, it's the risk I take but overnight my luck seemed to have changed. Given that the hotel has had to lower its rates, you get a lot of amateur blackjack players in there now that will not play the book and frankly will screw you if you play at the same table. \n\nYou could get an awesome craps game there if you have a cool dealer or two. \n\nOne of my major complaints about the resort is the constant changing of the restaurants. It use to be Dan Marino's and now it is like The Angry Onion, but basically the same menu. One time a friend and I went to Dan Marino's, they got his order wrong about 4 times. I had finished my dessert before he began to eat his steak. It seems like the resort is trying to make amends to me for it and invites me back with coupons or free dinners, which is fine but they still manage to screw up the meal most of the time.  Hooters the restaurant is also there and one thing about it is that the wings seem better there than at most locations and this is coming from someone who does not like the wings. \n\nOne benefit to Hooters is the pool is open 24 hours, which on a hot, drunk night in the summer could be a lot of fun, when the pool gets crowded, it gets crowded. The pool itself though is very beautiful, with a waterfall and fire pits. You could even stay at a bungalow near the pool, which I recommend, instead of a standard room. \n\nThe parking at Hooters is still an issue, with valet taking a while to get your car back and self parking being in a parking lot that is way too small with way to small parking spaces. \n\nHooters used to be a fun whole in the wall off-strip casino, but now it seems it is definitely going down hill.

Case: I have been craving cheesesteaks and being from the east coast it's hard to find a good one. My mom and I decided to try this place today. Great!!! And I will be back. First of all the staff was great, William thank you for you're great customer service! And the cheesesteaks were amazing. Meat well seasoned, hot, and super cheesy. Needless to say this will be my new cheese steak spot!!! Hooray!!!!

Case: Been to several Chipotles and was happy this one opened up so close at first.... Been about 5 times and they were decent enough the first couple of times to go back but will never go again! Service is the worst of any I have ever been to. The past 2 times the carnitas was not even cooked all the way and all fat. Service at the counter is pathetic and doesn't even listen, you have to correct them constantly. When you check out, depending on who rings you up, you get a different price every time!!! Do not go here!! Rip off!!!! Manager even stands by as workers screw up and does nothing!!!

Case: I stopped by the cafe by chance while waiting for a seat at Sushi Koma. The vibe is very clean and modern! I ordered immediately after coming in because everything looked delicious! I ordered an Oreo Shake and it was yummy! My boyfriend ordered a white mocha and enjoyed his drink as well. The ladies that worked there were very friendly and welcoming! I hope the best for the place and expect to see me here more often!

Case: I am sad to say that in the, ahem, 27 years that I have lived in Phoenix, I have only been to the Desert Botanical Gardens a handful of times. I obviously didn't know what I was missing. I attended the Yelp event here last spring and it was simply magical. \n\nIt is a wonderful venue for evening events and I am sorely disappointed that I was unable to go to Las Noches de las Luminarias this year because I heard it was simply amazing. I bought tickets and it got canceled due to rain. Yes, this does happen occasionally in Phoenix....like once a year, guess it was my lucky day. \n\nI am looking forward to the next exhibit/event that I get to go to here, it is a true gem in Phoenix. And if all else fails, I will definitely be at the butterfly event this spring and at the Luminarias next winter.

Case: Fail.\nWhy? Just compare it to the old restaurant that used to be housed here and that's the only word that comes up. On further thought an acronym comes to mind: WTF

Case: On Friday night the office I work for had our Christmas Party at Mama Ricotta's. It was a great time, it has a great atmosphere but the food was sub par. I think we ordered every appetizer on the menu.\n\nCalamari - It was ok, I am not much of a fan it did seem a bit on the rubbery side. \n\nBruschetta - Was very soggy with the tomatoes, not sure if that was the point but soggy bread is not very appetizing. \n\nTomatoes with mozzarella - The tomatoes were great but the mozzarella slices were SO thick it was ridiculous, nearly double the size of the tomatoes. \n\nGoat Cheese - This was without a doubt my favorite of anything all night. Very rich and smooth. \n\nI ended up ordering the special of the evening: Chicken and spinach ravioli with white truffle oil. It was good but nothing to rave about. \n\nI have had way better Italian in Charlotte so its hard for me to recommend Ricotta's.\n\n\nOh and I dont know if it was me but the floor seemed super slippery!

Case: Stopped here on a road trip from nyc to california. Food is incredible and the portions are huge. We ordered the two of the sandwiches (one was pastrami and the other was made up of all the meats - pastrami, corned beef, etc.) and old world pierogies. They cure all of their own meats and make their own bread. They also get amazing root beer from wisconsin (I think). \n\nAnyway, the staff is super friendly so just tell them it's your first time and they'll guide you through the menu and make recommendations.

Considreing the above, classify the following: My wife and I took our friend out to lunch here before she leaves the country for a year. \n\nWe always come during the morning for breakfast, but we wanted to try their lunch.\n\nGood choice!\n\nWe like this place because of the fresh ingredients, no hormones and organic produce.\n\nI got their club sandwich, it was excellent! Cheesy bread, yummy meats and veggies inside. Sweet potato tots? Too die for. \n\nMy wife had their grilled cheese. I took a bite. Also yummy.\n\nOur friend got a salad which looked bomb too.\n\nOur server was very nice and the food came out fast.\n\nIll keep coming back for sure!
