Case: This was FUN! I did it for my first time in May of 2011 with 2 friends. I had never done anything like it before so I didn't know what to expect. \n\nWhen you enter, you sign a few waivers, pay $15 (before 6pm or $20 after 6pm which isn't bad), and then you take an elevator up a few stories. The crew straps you in (and checks you several times to make sure you're secure) and informs you of what you need to do (lift your legs up upon \""landing\"", etc.). Next thing you know, your off! You start out probably 4 or 5 stories up and gradually descend to your landing of about 2 stories up. It only lasts MAYBE 30 seconds and that's why I gave it -1 star (too short). It's definitely an adrenaline rush though. \n\nWhen you finish, they notify you that you can purchase pictures. During your \""flight\"", they snap several pictures of you and upon purchase, they put them in a hard cardboard frame.\n\nDefinitely a fun experience that everyone should try! I will be going back when I'm in Vegas again!

Case: Probably not itching to book at the Mirage again. \n\nThe main issue I had was the room smelled when I checked-in. The source of the smell was from the restroom- it smelled like dirty gym socks that had been placed in a juicer. I called the front desk to get this issue addressed- the phone operator seemed a bit unapologetic about this nuisance. After saying she would have someone look into the issue, an hour had passed and no one had come to the room. I called the front desk again and a different rep had an entirely different tone than the first employee- she apologized for the inconvenience and was able to waive our resort fees. Although the defogging (basically making the room smell good again) meant we had to stay out of the room for two hours, it was worth it (then again, to distract time, we ended up gambling = losing).\n\nThe response time of the TV was painfully slow. Channel surfing was at a crawl. The only other inconvenience of the weekend was the tram connecting Mirage to Treasure Island was down for a brief period and it was when we were needing it on our walk home from a long night out.\n\nA plus of the hotel is that I got a room overlooking the pool and the dolphin exhibit. those dolphins are so smart!

Case: Zero stars. Ugh. Just don't go. Dirty. Found a hair in my food. Need I go on? Ok... I will. Ordered their signature pork dish. It was literally floating in grease. I've never seen anything like it and I grew up on Georgia! Found a long black curly hair in my rice. Hubby found a hair in his guacamole. After seeing 4 stars on Yelp we figured it was worth trying. Not sure if it used to be cool or what. We will never go back. Totally disgusting.

Case: Had a great time this weekend at Lola's the shrimp and grits were the best I ever ate. Crab cake delicious my granddaughter had the PO boy soft shell crab also good. My sister had the grilled oysters yummy. Bread pudding I've had better but it was tasty. My fam that ordered the jambalaya found it too spicy to eat so it went back. All in all a good eat. Oh yeah my granddaughter said the banana pudding was good but not as good as yours granny. I love that chick.

Case: I'm disappointed. \n\nI've practiced Bikram but this was my first time at this studio. There are a few things I totally expected: carpeted floors (not uncommon), sweltering heat (fully expected), and the smell of sweat (you can't avoid it). I'm familiar with the odor that permeates the Bikram studios but the stench at this particular studio was AWFUL! When was the last time they cleaned the carpets? Why are there tiny bugs crawling on the floor? My former studio definitely had a smell but it was nothing like this. \n\nA few other things I was disappointed with - I know people are afraid of the strictness that's associated with Bikram but there are definitely a few \""ground rules\"" that I appreciate. This particular studio didn't set those rules and I was really disappointed by that. 1. students new to Bikram were allowed to practice in the front row. When I first started Bikram, I was politely asked to stand at the back of the room so I could learn from someone in the front row with more experience and so my wiggling and moving wouldn't distract everyone else. Now I understand the importance of this. 2. they didn't explain at the start of class the importance of following ONLY the poses that the teacher instructed. Some guy was doing sit-ups?? 3. They didn't ask people to sit silently through class if they were tired. People were walking in and out of the room throughout class. This is NOT one of those easy, relaxing yoga classes that one might expect. It's often referred to as \""Bikram's torture chamber\"" and for good reason.  I just want to practice in a studio where everyone has the same goal in mind (to heal the body and to build an energy with everyone else in the room). \n\nWhat I did like about the studio - there was plenty of seating outside the room to relax and prepare your mind for class. The teacher was great. She was calm and encouraging. The class was actually less crowded than some I've been to although I'm sure that won't always be true. And most of the people in class were very respectful and focused which definitely helped the energy.\n\nI bought the LivingSocial deal and so I'll complete my 20 classes but I may try another studio at the end of it. I was really excited to start Bikram in a new city, as I just moved to Phoenix, but I'm just disappointed with my experience at this studio.

Case: I came here for Mother's Day Brunch. The food was fantastic and my mom and grandma were very excited. I've been to Kai before and was hoping they'd be open for brunch, but sadly they weren't. \n\nIt was $65/person for brunch - pricey for a 4 course meal. It wasn't your standard Mother's Day Brunch buffet but was really good food. I have no complaints about the food at all - I think it was amazing. My only issue is the vibe felt off - it didn't feel like the ambiance of the place matched how much I was paying for brunch. The servers weren't the most knowledgeable about the food...he recommended queso fresco for my grandma's filet because she doesn't like goat cheese. queso fresco?! NO. He was nice, don't get me wrong. But if I'm about to drop $400 on brunch, I want someone with some knowledge. Also, we went for awhile without refills on water or tea. That's annoying. Those are the major reasons I deducted a star because otherwise the food was really good. The presentation was gorgeous. I'll upload the pics. I def took a lot. \n\nOverall, I wouldn't come to Ko'Sin. I'd rather just spend the money and go to Kai where the servers are super knowledgeable and the ambiance feels more upscale...the pricing matches. I'm not articulating myself well. Here's an example, say you walk into a diner and you pay $20 for a burger. While it's still a great burger and definitely probably worth the $20, you still feel like you overpaid just because you're in a diner. I hope that makes more sense.
