Case: Staying at Caesars and wanted a late night meal at 2am.  This is their fancy new 24 hour restaurant that's conveniently located at the bottom of the elevator (near check in counter and Augustus/Octavian Towers).  We thought we'd just do take out as room service was going to take over 90 min estimate and nothing really looked that good anyway.  \n\nWhen we got downstairs the hostess looked bored to death and pointed us to where we could order for take out. The menu looked fancy but a little pricey for a late night snack, but we ordered anyway.  We got the Denver omelet, crab cake sandwich (recommended by the bartender) fries, and mac & cheese.  It came out pretty quick, about 15 min. and took it to our room.  We were hungry, the food smelled good, and we thought the food was just mehhh.  The omelet was good, but needed salt.  It was very bland, actually.  The crab cake which was recommended wasn't that good and tasted frozen.  The texture was very rubbery, not something we'd order again.  The mac and cheese was probably the best thing ordered and we finished it off. \n\nI miss the old 24 hr restaurant of Caesars past.

Case: I got the stuffed raspberry french toast here, and an omelet, after hearing how great it was, and how cheap. Yeah, there is a reason they don't have their prices online. It was around 10 dollars for their 'stuffed' french toast. Let me tell you what stuffed means to them. It means two slices of toast with some kind of cream cheese filling spread in them. And where does the raspberry come from? The five raspberries they throw on top of it. But I could look past this, I guess, as their way of making stuffed french toast. I surely don't expect something like Ihop, since this is suppose to be 'home cooked meals'. But when your stuffing is so miniscule it's like you spread a small amount of butter on toast, it is very disappointing.\nThen came the omelet with the hash browns. It wasn't great. Not bad. But not medium either. The potatoes were ok, then again you shouldn't be able to mess that up, but the omelet was just....eh, I guess is the only reaction I had to it. For the prices and hype this place gets, I can't believe the food I got. I might give it another try, if I had a coupon or something, but other than that, I really would pass on it.

Case: Amazing luxury dining experience at this One-star Michelin restaurant!  Be sure to make reservations for the counter so you can peek at the delights in progress. \n\nThe service was impeccable:  polished yet friendly.  Incredibly informative and descriptive.  The Sommalier was also very welcoming and shared some wonderful tips with us.  \n\nMy Husband and I were celebrating our birthdays, so we splurged and did the Discovery Tasting Menu (11 courses) for $159 pp.  Holy.  It was a feast of seasonal delights.  And it was really special to see how each plate was painstakingly created. \n\nThe name of the restaurant means the Artist's workshop/studio... so even the decor and dark walls, with red lights strategically placed showcased the chefs' hands at their craft. And each plate is stunning.  Clearly I'm a fan. \n\nThe Discovery Menu was full of very rich tastes... so prepare to be wowed.\nSee photo as I'm sure the menu changes often. \nthe highlights: \n\nFoie gras parfait with port wine and parmesan foam - \n-a super light and creamy foie gras flavored tasting.  Not too intense. Delicious. \n\nAlaskan King Crab with fresh peas\n-SO FRESH and to die for!\n\nWhite onion tart with smoked bacon, quail egg \""mirror\"" and asparagus\n- One of my favorite courses!  The pastry was perfectly crusty, it was the most upscale play on a pizza\n\nThe Foie Gras - seared to perfection, this was the biggest portion of the delicacy that I've ever been served.  Not for the faint of heart though... FG fans will be in heaven. Hubby gamely took a few bites and passed it onto to me to finish.\n\nThe Hanger Steak was not to be missed! served with their\nsignature mashed potatoes = absurdly decadent.  \n\nStrawberry with tequila gelee fresh blackberries and pop rocks\nThis dessert is a MUST!!!!! I giggled the entire time... The first bites were like nothing I have ever had, especially at a place like this.  Whimsical!

Case: Yay for small theaters!!!! Seriously. All you people that love those huge grandiose things need to experience the intimacy and power that comes with a small theater, and a nice one on top of that. \n\nThe Herberger is in a great location and is a great venue to see a show. The staff is always really friendly and the space is always clean. It has class without being too stale and old. Like downtown hipster class. It's nice. Soothing. Fun. Good for all ages. \n\nThe bar inside also has a window for the outside patio which is great for nice evenings and intermissions :) Also, if you're lucky you will see some musical troubadours outside as well.\n\nOne awesome thing is that you can get parking validated for the Arizona Center for $3. You park there, take your ticket, then go to the Herberger box office and get a validation ticket. When you exit the Arizona Center, enter the ticket you got when you parked and then the validation one.\n\nSo now you have no more excuses not to go (if the light rail didn't help already).\n\nSee you there!!
