Case: We went to Vegas this last weekend for my bachelor party and had the utmost horrible experience. I have traveled all over the world and have stayed at different calibre places- from 5 star resorts, motels, and even 3rd world country bungalows in remote villages. I have never been so disgusted in my life than I have with my recent stay at Caesars. \n\nWe had booked the VIP Absolut Suite at Caesars and were HIGHLY disappointed. The room is NOTHING like what they advertise in the pictures. For spending $4,000 a night, it was the biggest waste of money.\n\nWe get to the hotel early to check in, and get situated to start our fun filled weekend. The first disappointment occurred with us waiting 45 minutes for the bellman to take our luggage from valet to the inside of the hotel. I literally had to push the cart myself to get it in. Standing in the heat outside of the hotel for nearly an hour was definitely not how I wanted to start my weekend. We go in to check in and reservations said the room would be ready in an hour.  Since it was an hour wait, we went to have an early lunch and came back 2 hours later to give them enough time. The room was still not ready and were told that they didnt know when it would be cleaned. Even with American Express Platinum Early Check in, the hotel screwed us over with our room. We had a Cabana reserved at Encore Beach, and almost lost our reservation.  We had to go through our luggage in the middle of the lobby, take our clothes,  change and get ready in the public restrooms.\n\nLater on in the day once we were able to check in and received our keys, we go to the room and the keys didnt work. We had to go back down to get new keys 2x. At that point, one of our guys pushed the door in and the doors opened without a problem. In order for us to get into the room the entire weekend, we had to push our way in because the keys didnt work. Maintenance came at least 3 times to attempt to fix the electronic panel on the door (it was never fixed.)\n\nThe service was horrible, we waited 20 minutes on the phone in order to receive any customer service. For VIP treatment, we were treated as if we didnt exist. \nThe rooms were disgusting and the beds were dirty. The showers and bathrooms were filthy with remaining bodily fluids still present. The bathrooms definitely were not cleaned. Housekeeping came both days but only cleaned the downstairs living room. We had to call the front desk 2x to tell them to come and clean the bedrooms and the bathrooms. Their response was that they \""forgot\"". \n\nWe tried reasoning with Guest services but they did nothing to help or accommodate us.   \n\nAfter those 2 days we could not take it anymore. We had to check out of the hotel. To spite our group, the bellman from Caesars sprinkled and threw a can of Comet all over the inside of one of our bags. All of my clothes and shoes were ruined. We have pictures of this monstrosity.\n\nWe went to Wynn to stay for our final night. We had a basic room and were treated like royalty. If you want an amazing and luxurious experience, stay at the Wynn and don't even bother at Caesars. It lacks customer service, needs a facelift, and is definitely dated.

Case: This is a review of the cafe within this market.\n\nThis cafe specializes in numerous Asian dishes.  They have cooked ducks hanging in a display case.  They feature drinks with boba and taro.  A lot of the signs are written in Chinese.  It appears to be fairly authentic.  That said, it didn't look like anything I had when I was in Taiwan.  My wife got a beef-noodle soup.  She seemed to like it.  Our daughter got a chopped beef and rice dish.  It was very fatty.\n\nI don't really like this place.  My wife thinks it is OK, mostly I think because of the drinks (made with taro, melon, boba, and other similar items).  There is no waiter service.  Food usually comes out within 10 minutes.  Not very expensive.\n\nI won't recommend this place.  But if you want some Asian food on the cheap, and aren't too picky about fat, you might like it.  Or find it is adequate.\n\nThe market itself is a good Asian market with many authentic items from several countries.  But I'll review that another time.

Case: I love Kennywood with a passion and I can't wait until it opens for the season.\nIt is the most beautiful looking amusement park I have ever seen.\n\nPros\n1) The Woodies. Thunderbolt, Racer, and Jack Rabbit. I love hearing the thundering trains as they speed down the track, and I love the smell of the oil used to make the ride go smoothly. Smelling it, makes me feel like I'm 9 years old again.\n2) Potato Patch Cheese Fries.\n3) Walking through Noah's Ark\n4) People watching, especially when unexpected people get splashed on the overlook of the Pittsburg Plunge. Hahaha, take that jerks :O\n5) Phantom!!!\n6) Great firework shows\n7) Best games ever!\n8) Penny Arcade\n9) Photo Ops with that Kangaroo\n10) Just the sounds man\n\nCons\n1) Where the new ride at??? Cedar Point gets 2 this year, Kennywood is 2 years past due. At least throw in a Scrambler or a Trabant. Anything, keep it fresh.\n2) The dark rides aren't as dark as they used to be. I miss the Old Mill and Le Cachot. Now it's too kid-orientated.\n3) Why can't you be open today??? lol, seriously, where my new ride at? Also, what up on that park expansion deal.  \n \nDespite them 3 cons, the pros outweigh it, which is why I give it 5. If there isn't a new ride next season, I'm going to de-star this place a notch.

Case: My husband and I were recently in the Phoenix area for a business conference. His zipper on his dress pants broke and since he had matched all of shirts and ties to these pants, getting them fixed quickly was imperative. Our hotel was unable to accommodate us in a timely manner nor for a reasonable price. I found Nati's through Yelp. The seamstress was able to fix his pants within a day and only charged me $7. She saved the day!

Case: Good location, nice decor, nice staff, terrible food. I ate here recently and was decidedly disappointed; from the menu it looked as though the food would be lovely. I had smoked salmon and cream cheese pate which was much more cheese than pate, then a very interesting take on enchiladas which unfortunately was the kind of standard I'd expect in McDonalds. My boyfriend had duck and orange pate which was horrible; he only ate half of it. He then had steak, which he said was nice but the crevettes it came with were mushy and very over-cooked, and the mashed potato with was dry and crumbly - he said it reminded him of the sort of potato you'd get at school. He thought it'd had all been left under a heat lamp as it was so dry. We were discussing how it had been so busy and the only conclusion that we came to was that it's in a tourist trap. I don't think this place gets a lot of repeat business. \n\nMy advice if you're looking for somewhere nice for dinner in this area is to go to Maison Bleue on Victoria St, or The Outsider on George IV Bridge.

Case: Not one bad visit to this location and we've been coming here since we moved here, roughly 5 yrs. \n\nOn our most recent visit we ordered:\n$4.58- 2 Iced Teas \n$13.99- *Tuesday Special; Steak & Lobster with broccoli & baked potato\n$17.99-*Tuesday Special; Steak & Lobster Mac 'n' Cheese with broccoli & mashed potato\n$5.98-*Price is add-on to meal, 2 Salad Bar Buffet\n\nWe were seated and greeted right away. Our server took our order and checked on us, often. Service was good, nothing spectacular.\n\nWe then headed over to the Salad Bar. Very clean! We just recently went some where and I had major complaints about their salsa bar which was 'EW!' so it was quite refreshing to visit a place that kept up with their serve yourself thingie majig! I liked their selection of greens, iceberg, romaine, spinach and mixed greens. Dressings were OK, nothing I haven't tried before.\n\nMy steak was med-rare, hubster's was rare. It was seasoned well but one tid bit, it's a cheap cut so it tastes better cooked rare. Although my steak was still a little pink, it was really chewy, not fun for my jaw. Hubs enjoyed lobster, although a little over cooked it was still a deal! My Lobster Mac 'n' Cheese had flavor but I guess they stick the MnC under the salamander bc the lobster that was exposed was dry and chewy but the lobster within the MnC was still moist. Only thing I was disappointed in was their broccoli, it's probably the simplest item in this meal and it was way over cooked, borderline mushy.\n\nThe usual good experience, it'd been awhile since we'd been here but nothing has changed, still the same ole good experience :)

Considreing the above, classify the following: I decided to update my review after going Saturday night for Wicked. It seems that most of the reviews on Gammage are based on the shows. I have no issue with the shows. I have issue with the theatre itself. \n\nThe reason I'm dropping a star is because I noticed things that I'd never noticed before: the seats in the auditorium are awful. The arm rests are threadbare, with the wood showing through. The seat cushions have holes and are so worn it's like sitting on plywood for four hours. \n\nIf I were one of the many people on the list paying thousands of dollars a year, I'd be mad as hell and wondering where my money was going. Gammage needs to take those funds and renovate the seating and the restrooms. Spending 20 minutes in a line for the restrooms is completely unacceptable. If the folks here took the time to really give a crap about the venue, it could easily be a 5 star venue. But until that happens, we'll keep paying $100+ a ticket to see a phenomenal show there because it's pretty much our only option.
