Text - I stayed at Trump Hotel for Thanksgiving last month.  It was a busy weekend and the rates looked attractive for a 5-star property.  I really regret not going with Venetian instead since it was only slightly more.  \n\nTo preface, I actually don't hate on Trump.  I rather enjoy his Apprentice show and most of his dealings, so I was very open minded staying at Trump for the first time.  But fact remains that this was a really subpar experience.\n\n\nFirst, location was horrible.  \n\nOur taxi drove us in, and you get off the freeway to see the row of strip clubs before arriving at the Trump hotel.  The location is offstrip even though it looked pretty near on Google Maps.  It's a ten minute walk to the Wynn which is on the Northern end of the strip.  They have a shuttle to Wynn and Caesar's, but it's not very convenient especially if you want to take a break in your room mid-day.  \n\nWorse, one side of the tower faces the Railroad track.  If you're a light sleeper, don't bother; it's pretty loud.  I couldn't believe the rep I spoke with just dismisses it like it's normal.  She told me to book the room on the other side next time I stay.  So 50% of the hotel experience the train multiple times a night... really?\n\n\nSecond, while the resort fee is quite standard now in Las Vegas, the amenities that came with it were disappointing (wifi, shuttle, water).  Oh, and pool access too.  Except that during my stay the pool was up for \""renovation\"" for December.  This is fine and understandable, but what was insulting was the note to tell guests to buy a $10 voucher to use Caesar's Palace pool (and ride their free shuttle there!)  \n\nI can't imagine having your five star hotel guests to pay for a ticket to use another hotel's pool while being shuttled back and forth.  If you claim that pool access is part of the resort fee, then at least provide complimentary tickets on request.  It's almost comical.\n\n\nFinally, the overall staff and experience of the hotel is far from a true 5 star hotel.  It's 4 stars at best.  Everyone from doorman, shuttle driver, front desk.  None of them really understand how to delight the customer.  They're just doing their job day in and day out.  The shuttle drives around the hotel to stop at next pickup, instead of letting you off at the hotel entrance first.  The doorman opens the door but no one offers to help with the bags.  The concierge won't help get you change but have you wait ten minutes for a front desk agent.  Many many more examples lead me to believe that the staff isn't trained at the same expectations at other 5 star hotels.\n\n\nI could go on, but you get the point.\n\n\nThe Good:\n- Smoke free hotel\n\nThe Bad:\n- Location is off-strip, ten minutes walk to the Wynn.  The ride there passes through the strip clubs.\n- On the back side of the tower you hear the train multiple times a day.\n- Staff (shuttle, front desk, bellman) are all less experienced.  They are courteous, but really rough around the edges that you wouldn't expect from a 5-star hotel.\n- No customer support.  I emailed some of my concerns in this review to them and never got a response back.\n\n\nOverall this is far from a 5-star experience.  Their rooms and suites are discounted for a reason.  In retrospect, I'd rather pay a bit more to stay at Venetian or Bellagio.  I would never stay at Trump again.

Text - ...I was reading some of the reviews people left here for the Good Egg & I am not getting it!  ..um, people....The Good Egg is really not that great! It over-priced & you really don't get a whole lot of food!  It always seems cold or lukewarm, too.  Please try IHOP just down the damn street on Central. Believe me, it is way better than Good Egg. IHOP just seems more fulfilling & heartier...  The Chicken Fajitia Omellette with the Harvest Nut & Grain Pancakes is delicious & satisfying.  A 2nd runner-up would be breakfast at FEZ across the street & up a bit up on Central!....Yes, I said breakfast (or Brunch)....Very nice & unique breakfast selections on their menu!  :)

Text - Oh man!  I was down in Vegas a couple of weeks ago, and happened upon Kai Sushi.  First off, I was greeted like I was an old friend and promptly seated.  I ordered a few nigiri, and the quality was excellent.  It's been a while since I have had really good sushi, but this rivaled anything I have had in San Francisco or Tokyo.   It's good to see a sushi restaurant that cares so much about quality, and doesn't skimp.  I will definitely eat here again next time I get down to Vegas.

Classify the case below.
Chose The Steakhouse as it is known as being a classic restaurant that consistently ranks very highly.  Our meals were indeed very good for the most part.\n\nThe meal begins with a large bread basket for the table.  Entrees come with your choice of soup or salad and potato or rice.  The steaks are big--my \""petite\"" filet was 8 oz., hubby's was 12 oz.  The steaks come with b\u00e9arnaise sauce on the side, but I preferred my steak without it.  I got the baked potato and hubby got the rice pilaf and we both got the house salad.  It was a ton of very good food and we were stuffed.  This was a very nice, basic steak meal, especially for the cost which was $275 for 4 of us.  Hubby and I have spent close to that on just ourselves.\n\nThe only minor critique is that our friend's strip (he ordered a porterhouse) was tough and did not equal the quality of our filets.  I also didn't care for walking through what was essentially the kitchen--I felt like I would smell like beef smoke the rest of the night.   But I usually only pay attention to the immediate surroundings and our table at the back of the restaurant was nice.
