Text - Very angry after getting a bad mani and pedi today.  I went there last month and had a great experience, but not today.  I was rushed and treated like a piece of meat.  First there was some confusion over gel vs. regular manicure.  Then the nail polish job on my hands was done very sloppy.  It looks like a 7 year old painted my nails.  It is so bad with uneven coats and paint on my skin.  I came there to relax and instead was pushed around and made to feel like an inconvenience.  I'm an easy customer, nothing special.  They were harsh, rude, and did a very bad job on my nails.  I will not be back.  I should not have tipped at all.  Grrrrr.....

Text - I thought the room here was very nice- all of the rooms are suites so there is a living room and bedroom area.  The bathroom alone was the size of a bedroom so that was cool.  We had 2 huge TVs that we never used, a stocked mini bar, and phone in the bathroom just in case.  Bed = so comfy.  Everything is decorated with gold accents around the hotel, and the gondola area is reminiscent of Venice as well as the frescoes on the lobby ceiling.\n\nI wasn't overly impressed with the service or the atmosphere of the rest of the hotel. It was opulent and elegant, but was just missing something.  Upon check in, we walked aimlessly around the casino searching for the guest elevators because this place is so huge. Some direction would have been nice. Our luggage was brought to our room quickly and the bellman gave us restaurant recommendations which was nice.  It was March Madness, but the hotel was packed and smokey like all of the others, so maybe that's my problem.\n\nThe location is AWESOME. The nightclub Tao is right in your hotel, and you get in a special line as a hotel guest.  The view from the hotel and outside is perfect, and you can walk nearly anywhere you really want to be from here.

Text - The strawberry shaved snow lacked flavor, but the mango was pretty good. There's a decent amount of variety of toppings too. However, the guy working there gave terrible customer service (that's why this is 2 stars instead of 3). He was not friendly at all, and asked me close the door with attitude when the customer after me left it open. Never even got a thank you or a smile the entire visit. He gave me the bowl dripping and sticky with syrup. Overall, the desert was good but the attitude would keep me from wanting to come back.

Text - While my friends and I were planning a Vegas trip, we wanted to spare a night for fine dining. After some research we elected SW Steakhouse to be our destination.\n\nMade a reservation 2 weeks beforehand, Saturday evening at 5:30pm. It's located at Wynn hotel ground floor. Not difficult to find this place at all so we got there a bit early. Checked in to make sure the staff knew we were there already, and decided to chill at the bar a bit. I myself got a Mojito and it was pretty good - it was quite strong and I knew this is gonna be a nice dinner.\n\nGot sit in right on time. Once stepped in and looked to the right, there was a large door/window openings and a man made, tall waterfall was there - not sure they did any sound effect but it really sounded like a huge waterfall inside a forrest. Nice environment with the natural light! Now the prime time for food:\n\n-) The Bread: A. What a nice start. There were two different kinds of breads, all garlic based and they were just so good and fresh and couldn't stop eating until my friends asked me to stop and save for the steak. Alight... but man that was good.\n\n-) Mushroom soup: A-. The whole soup was concentrated with chopped mushroom, not the usual milky-cream type and that was what made it unique. If it could be slightly less salty it would have been even better.\n\n-) 20oz rib eye with addition of Alaskan King Crab (oscar style): A. Wow what a nice steak! I asked for medium rare and it was exactly my definition of medium rare. The outside layer was slightly crispy and the inside was soooo tender and juicy. Haven't had that good of a steak for a long time! 20oz is indeed a huge portion and I managed to finish the whole thing, it was just too good. The asparagus sitting below the steak received some juice from the steak, and the two tastes mixed and coordinated with each other very nicely. The Alaskan King Crab on the other hand was a bit disappointed. It's actually an option to be added so I did, and it was just slightly too cheesy and it didn't match with the steak well.\n\n-) Mushroom (as sides): A+. Oh man that mushroom was so memorable. With its garlic based sauce and the green onion on top, and the cooking time was right at the point where the sauce went into the mushroom while keeping the freshness of it, that was indeed the best mushroom side I have ever had.\n\n-) Cream Corn (as sides): A-. It was not liquid type of creamy, the texture was more like mashed potato but with corn. The sweetness of the corn was quite outstanding.\n\n-) Mac and Cheese (as sides): B+. Comparatively this was not as good as the other two sides above; but don't get me wrong it was good too; just that it was not anything spectacular and I would have gone with other choices instead.\n\nIt was my friend's birthday and the restaurant got us free chocolate dessert with \""Happy Birthday\"" written on the plate with chocolate, how generous!\n\nNeedless to say this place is pricey and we ended up paying around $120 per person. But the food and environment was super nice. This place is good for group gathering as well as romantic date (just don't sit too close to the waterfall side if you want to enjoy some quiet time) so definitely I am going to go back someday when I'm in Vegas again!

Text - WONDERFUL and unique experience. A hidden gem downtown. \n\nYou have to text the number - ask the bouncer's at Commonwealth. Get a reservation. And show up on time. You will be lead into a secret beautiful intimate bar - which used to be the laundry room of the El Cortez.  \n\nThe vibe is mellow. The ambience chic. The decorations are one of a kind and vintage. \nDrinks are made to order. No beer and wine.  \n\nThe managers and bartender paid serious attention to detail. Which means a lot in my book. No frat boys or beer pong here. \n\nHighly recommend on your next Vegas trip.

Text - Maybe two stars is a little harsh considering only the quality of food, but the price brings down my rating significantly. \n\nI went on a Friday night around 7 (usually when the main chef is on duty at most places) and tried a few of the dishes. My server was new and unfamiliar both Korean food in general as well as the menu, proving to be pretty unhelpful. Being new is not someone's fault, but he was simply insufficiently trained; when we asked for a side of pickled shredded radish (a Korean banchan staple), he brought out sliced cucumber with a chili dressing. Anyway, the spicy porkj and kimchi dumplings (fried) tasted alright with the soy sauce, if a bit flat. They were excellently crisp but the stuffing was oddly homogeneous and mushy like the pork was overly minced (a small complaint that did not lessen the taste).\n\nI got the \""Garlbi\"" (not galbi?) for an entree and was satisfied for the most part. The flavor was solid, if a bit sweet for my taste, and it came presented on a massive platter with 3 sides (seasoned tofu, kimchi, and bean sprouts), a small bowl of soup (which looked like miso but I suspect was doenjang) and a side of rice. The ribs themselves came sizzling on a cast iron pan that left a nice char on the veggies. They had nice grill marks and flavor but the texture was oddly tender. I know asian pears tenderize meat, but I would have preferred if they had a better chew. This was a similar problem with the spicy beef bulgogi which, again had a nice taste, if not very nuanced. The texture however is best described as a mound of mush. The beef had been shredded and tenderized to the point that the rice had more chew and texture. The flavor is enough that you can get over it but it could have been significantly better. My friend tried the bibim-bop and, while I didn't try much of it, she found it mediocre. \n\nWe all concluded that the problem was not in a lack of authenticity; they didn't do anything dumb like make everything an American-Chinese stir fry. In fact, a lot of the menu items are obscure even for people with a good knowledge of the cuisine. Everything just feel short of tasting like good Korean. It looked right and the flavors were on the right track, but literally every dish was a few nuances short of worth it.

Text - Simply Pure is simply delicious!!!  I'm so excited  Las Vegas finally has an awesome vegan restaurant. Her staff is more than amazing. The service is impeccable.  The food speaks for itself. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a great introduction to quality vegan cuisine.

Classify the following: 3/16 Update:\n\nI've decided to remove two stars from my rating because my recent visits have just been disappointing.  The grilled pork is more baked than grilled - no smokiness or tasty charred bits anywhere.  The pho tastes more of MSG than boiled beef bones.  And service is as bad as ever.  I wonder if Da Vang's popularity has led it to take shortcuts for efficiency.  \n\nDefinitely not worth going out of your way for - go to Khai Hoan in Tempe for the smokey grilled pork or Saigon Nites in Scottsdale for the delicious pho instead.\n\nPrior review:\n\nEssential pre-eating check list for Da Vang\n\n1.   Turn your expectation on service down to zero\n2.   Voluntary separation of  restaurant decor & atmosphere from the dining experience\n3.  Limited peripheral vision is a plus\n\nNow you're ready to enjoy one of the tastiest Vietnamese place this side of San Jose.
