Text - Nice sports bar away from the regular highway fare and that makes it attractive to local folks.  However I have to say that the amount of smoking that goes on is like you are down wind of a pine tree forest fire.  When will this state final give in?  The food is good.  I have had the pulled pork platter.  The sweet potato fries are good, they are also rolled in brown sugar.  TV's could be upgraded to flat screens and the carpet is in desperate need of replacing.  The ATM machine looks like it would steal your pin number.  The non-smokes section is like being in an isolalation ward.  I give the restrooms a 2.5out of 5 stars.  Looks like there could be a lot of coke snorting going on.  For all that is wrong what you get in return is low prices.  Much cheaper than the Hickory Tavern located right off the highway.  You can also play a great game of pool (3 tables if I remember correctly), video golf and video bowling.  Decent service, lots of seating but it was pretty fully with an hour wait on a Tuesday.  So if you get there before 7pm you can find some open areas to sit.  Also, they have a decent amount of high tables and chairs in the game area.

Text - I want to classify I normally stay at Hampton Inn's but have also stayed in very nice hotels all over the world.  I choose to stay here because of the history of architecture.  I will say I have stayed at other Waldorf and RItz Carlton properties and this doesn't even come close to the upscale hotel you would expect. (but I didn't pay the price of those either)  I stayed in a hampton inn down the street for 2 nights before and the bed and pillows were actually much more comfortable at the hampton inn.  The pool area had broken chairs which I thought was weird because you have to pay a $resort fee each night to stay there.  If you are expecting old world charm and great architecture, stay here.  If you are expected to be pampered and have great amenities pass this place up because it won't meet your expectations.  It is worth a one night stay just to say you have been there and look at this history of the hotel.

Text - Stopped in for a quick coffee since there are no Starbucks here in bellagio. Ordered a iced mocha (my typical Starbucks drink) and let me tell you it was less than lackluster. Watery , flavorless, and boring. Didn't try the gelato but I surely don't recommend the coffee.

Text - I have had 2 different sessions with Olivia and absolutely love her work. She is very creative, professional, and great with kids. She was able to make my son very comfortable so we could get some great shots of him. The pictures are very high quality and she takes as much time as you need to go over all of the pictures taken and options available. I ordered a book and some photos for the wall and constantly get compliments on them. Olivia's work is amazing and I will continue to have her photography my family.

What is the classification for the passage below?
Went here for restaurant week with my girls. WHY HAVE I NEVER BEEN HERE?!!! I am a Vegas native for crying out loud. The decor is very old Vegas romance which I love. It just feels like a step back in time. Our waiter was pretty attentive and took the time to explain all the dishes. We ordered a couple of bottles off the wine list.  The crudite basket arrived shortly after. As the waiter explained \""It's like the owner went in the back garden and freshly picked some vegetables for you to enjoy.\"" If you like raw veggies like me, then it is a perfect start to a meal. \n\nI ordered the Bouchee De Fruit De Mer for my second course. It was a beautiful puff pastry filled with langoustino tails, scallops, lobster bisque and saffron sauce. HEAVEN IN MY MOUTH. Next was sorbet to cleanse the palate. \n\nI ordered the Veal Medallions A La Plancha. (Nope I'm not vegetarian anymore). So tender. So delicious.  \n\nTo finish off the meal was the Grand Marnier souffl\u00e9. It was good and all but tasted like a mouth full of eggs. Since the only options for dessert were chocolate on top of chocolate (I'm not a chocolate girl), the souffl\u00e9 was the only option for restaurant week. I probably wouldn't order this again. \n\nMy girls and I had a great time. The service was awesome (although one of my girls felt the waiter was deliberately skipping over her wine glass during refills). This would be a great place to bring a date since it is very cozy and romantically lit. Well done Pamplemousse. I will be back.
