Text - This is my local Michaels Store - I try to stop by anytime I'm in the Arroyo Crossing Shopping Center.  It's your typical arts and crafts store, although not as fabric-oriented or as large as a Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft Stores.\n\nThey recently reorganized this store - it looks like they were trying to expand or organize their scrapbooking section.  (Something I do appreciate since I'm a scrapper.)\n\nThey also reorganized the register lines - it's now one line that snakes around and you wait for the next available register.  Although it's clear that this is their new attempt (and the signage says \""Please wait here for the next available cashier.\""), I don't get why customers still try to line up for each individual cash register.  Old habits are hard to break I guess.\n\nThey have weekly events going on - some specific for children too.  Classes are available at this location as well for baking and other related crafts.    \n\nCustomer service varies - some days there are employees everywhere and other days there is only one person at the register and a long line.  I think they are still trying to figure out when their rush is.\n\nThey do accept competitor coupons, which is a huge plus! \n\n3.5 stars

Text - Nothing special. Very run down. I stopped to air up my tires. The air pump hose had a hole in it, which I did not realize until I had already paid of course. It was very raggedy as it was. I'm not even sure the pressure gauge accessory worked. At least they were able to break my twenty to give me a dollar in quarters. The girl at the counter was very nice too. We shared some laughs. It was nice. Thank her for the two star rating.

Text - If you want to sweat, exercise, and have fun they have it all.  They have free weights, universal machines, treadmills, stair climbers, elliptical machines, bikes, a running track, basketball courts, volleyball courts, an indoor soccer field, an indoor pool and outdoor water park, aerobic classes, massage services, personal trainers, racquetball courts, a conference room, a full service bar, a flat grill menu, and probably much more.

Text - I saw this place on American Restoration TV Show and put it on my must visit list. I have been a huge fan of pinball all of my life. We stopped in and had a blast. Seeing some of the games that I played as a kid gave me a warm feeling inside. My wife had a equally great time and we stayed for a nice long time. We tried at least 40 different machines. We just shared the most of the machines, but I did snuff her in one of the shooting games. They have an Asteroids, Centipeed Mrs. PacMan and many other of the stand up machines from the 80s too. We were like a couple of teenagers even though we came to celebrate our 25th anniversary on the trip to Vegas. I would say to anyone coming to Las Vegas that this is a must visit place. You just don't feel bad dropping money into these machines. You don't win any money on them, but you win something more.

Text - On 9/6/14 we had reservations to dine at the Redwood Bar & Grill.  We've had numerous prior experiences there, and found this restaurant to be very good for food quality, price & service.  However, our recent experience is one to be forgotten, and never to return.  It started when we were seated in a booth.  Upon being seated when trying to read the menu, I noticed that all the lights along the top were non-functional, and we had nothing to light our table except one dimly lit table light about the power of a small penlight.  I asked the waiter if he would please turn on the overhead lamps so we could see the menu.  After a short absence, he returned to say that they were not working, and so basically, \""too bad\"".  So, we proceeded to pass the table light around, and order our meals.  I had a ribeye steak, other individuals ordered the Atlantic Salmon, lamb chops, and shrimp scampi.  Comments to the food: my ribeye steak was just \""okay\"" and nothing special.  It was actually a bit on the tough side, and not very tasty, but just ok.  However, when my sister got her shrimp scampi, it was COLD.  It was cold to the touch, and definitely had been sitting around the kitchen way too long before being brought to the table.  We immediately complained to the server, and she said, \""let me take it back, and heat it up\"".  She took the dish back to the kitchen, to be heated up & brought back few minutes later.  It was a bit warmer, but it was still just \""luke warm\"" and definitely not how a main dish should be served.  However, my sister decided against sending it back again, for fear that the kitchen staff might get upset, and do something \""bad\"" to the dish.  In all my experiences dining at better restaurants, if there is something wrong with the dish(cold food inclusive), the dish was completely re-prepared and brought out fresh, hot & served to order, with an apology for the mistake.  As a matter of fact, many restaurants that I frequent at home would go one step further, and comp the meal as an offset to their mistake.  Neither action was taken by Redwood staff.  We also realized that the reason they could not heat the shrimp scampi back to piping hot was because the shrimps would then be \""overcooked\"" and very tough.  So it seemed that the kitchen crew took the action of cheap, quickest fix, and least effort on their part.  For that reason, and our overall poor experience at the Redwood Bar & Grill, we will not ever return to this establishment.  Had they done anything to correct their mistakes, or even offered a sincere apology and made the effort to correct the food, we might feel differently.  Las Vegas has many restaurants that serve great food, and the service is good as well.  Redwood needs to do much better training of both kitchen & service staff, fix their physical facilities so everything works right, and teach their people how to graciously accept & correct any mistakes made in food preparation.  Hopefully, someone that has a sincere interest in RB&G will read this & take it to heart.  Aloha, Howard Y. from Hawaii

Text - Went to this Fest today and admission is $12. There were 2 tiny stages where live entertainment was scheduled. There was a food truck, a catered \""Brazilian\"" meal stand and some Lebanese food(???). The booths were boring and mainly were hawking insurance or travel or sports. There weren't any booths offering anything to do with Brazil. There were streamers in yellow and green and that was the extent of the decorations. The schedules were preprinted which was good...but it's not like there was anything to do other than eat, drink or watch the stage. And it was very hot outside. The portion that was supposed to be $8 of Brazilian food was small and cold. And there was only one line to order and one line to pick up. Seems like if this is the 5th annual event, there would be more attention to details. It was even hot inside the building and I really don't know what Jui jitsu has to do with Brazil. That country has such a rich culture, history and importance to the ecosystems of the world and all that was wasted at this \""festival.\"" The good? Public parking was free.

Considreing the above, classify the following: My fiancee and I recently went here to celebrate our engagement. The service was excellent. The waiter had a very good knowledge of the wines and the menu. Will definitely come back here for any special occasion.
