Example: As a foodie who grew up in Kansas City, my great frustration with the Las Vegas food scene for many years was the absence of authentic wood-smoked barbecue.  The dirty little secret of the BBQ business is that a lot of it isn't smoked, but just baked in a regular oven.  Oven-baking is a zillion times easier - no fire to tend, no smoke burning your eyes - but it lacks the delicious smokeyness that BBQ fanatics live for.  You will never see a wisp of smoke coming out of Famous Dave's, Lucille's, or Memphis Championship.  But if you drive up to Rollin' Smoke, you'll see the smokers billowing away right in their parking lot.  Rollin' Smoke, Top Notch (both relatively new) and Annie's Kitchen (open for a while now, but not in the best neighborhood) are the only three BBQ joints in Las Vegas where they actually smoke the meat.  And believe me, once you've tasted the difference, you'll never go to the oven-baked frauds again.\n\nFor BBQ lovers who must know:  hickory is the wood of choice at Rollin' Smoke, the dry rub is fairly mild, and their sauce is closest to the sweet Memphis variety.  If you're not that concerned with the fine-print details, suffice it to say that Rollin' Smoke is exactly what barbecue should be:  smokey, meaty, and falling-off-the-bone tender.  If you're looking for a LOT of meat for a terrific price, go with the St. Louis ribs, the $12 half rack feeds two normal adults or one BBQ glutton.  The $20 full rack should easily feed a family of four; the size of the rack is straight out of The Flintstones.  While most people prefer babybacks because of their tenderness, my problem with babybacks is that there just isn't enough meat on them.  My eyes popped when I saw the babybacks at Rollin' Smoke because I've never seen babybacks anywhere (well OK, not in Kansas City, Memphis or Texas - 3 of the 4 \""capitals\"" of BBQ) with so much meat on the bones - all the tenderness of babybacks but twice as much meat.\n\nThere are plenty of other great items on the menu.  The pulled pork and beef brisket are both winners.  For lovers of Texas-style, they even offer beef ribs, done to perfection (beef ribs are a lot trickier than the pork kind).  My favorite side dish is the bacon potato salad.  The mac & cheese is great too.  One side to avoid is the yams, which I thought were blechy.  True to the owner's roots, two Southern classics are available for dessert:  banana pudding and peach cobbler.  They also serve up a blackberry cobbler which is pretty good (even though I don't like blackberries).  Two caveats before you eat here: 1) be very specific about what you're ordering, because mixups can happen; and 2) order less than you think you can eat, because the portions are huge.  If you're looking for food late on a Fri or Sat night, Rollin' Smoke is open until 1:30 a.m. - a far better option than the overpriced mediocrity of casino coffeeshops.\n\nThe typical BBQ joint is formica tables and white plaster walls, bare except for a few pictures of the owner posing with whatever celebrities have eaten there.  Rollin' Smoke is a bit nicer than most because it took over its space from a failed restauranteur whose background was interior design, not food.  But forget the interior, all you need for ambience is a view of those beautiful billowing smokers in the parking lot.

Example: On a recent trip to Vegas with my Boyfriend and his kids, we decided to hit the Forum shops and see the most famous toy shop in the World...( being there really isnt much to do in Vegas with an 8 and 12 year old.)...What a fantastic toy shop , we could have stayed in there for hours and played but thats really not the point, infact we should have stayed in there for hours and gone on a shopping spree...it would have been cheaper than going outside to the Gelato stand!!!\n\nAnyway my mistake, we walked out of the toy store and saw what appeared to be a Gelato and pizza stand.....the kind where you just swing in throw down a $5 and walk off with a happy kid...hmmmmm........so we walk up and sample a few flavors...the little girl settles on strawberry, which it what she just about always settles on...they show us the sizes...she wants a medium looking one....I get a child size and can't even remember what flavor because what follows is worse than a colonic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They then tell us to move around to the cash register, they ring up our 2 ice creams, and shock and dismay come over me as it totals $27!!!! For 2 F-N Ice Creams....I am flabbergasted , that somehow we hand over the money instead of telling them to stick the cups of gelato up their  A--holes.... only proves my level of shock!\n\nI am stuck looking at this child size super tiny cup of cold cream, and feeling like I just starred in an anal gang bang porn...I don't remember the gelato at all...I just remember telling Nicole ( the 8 year old ) that she better save her cup and maybe eat that too....and I don't even want to see a drip of gelato left in that cup...\n\nWas the Gelato good?\n\nHow the F--k would I know when Im in a state of shock and really just want to return the damn thing and tell everyone standing near by that this place must be owned by a scam artist...The Forum shops should not allow this place to be in business....it brings them a bad name!!! Their are no prices posted where you order your gelato, and come on ...when is an ice cream over $7....\n\nI hate this F-CKing Place....I think it should be shut down....and their ice cream doesn't taste good because you got raped for it!!!!

Example: Just got back from having 2 front tires mounted & balenced. C & R is a new installer for Tirerack.com, which I ordered my tires from. Prices were exactly what was listed on TireRack. Scott was great to deal with, and as it turns out I will bypass Tirerack when I get my other pair of tire's as C & R can beat the price ! I had an issue from a couple of years ago, just as he had started managing the store, that I expained to him and he actually listened and assured me that many changes have been made. I have played with cars for 40+ yrs and had my own shop for a couple years, so I can pick out BS pretty fast. I have been outright lied to at one time or another from 3 different places over the past few years in the Valley..from now on I will be going to C&R for any work I can't/don't want to do on my own from now on.
