Text - We like to stay at more quiet, off-the-beaten-track hotels when we come to Vegas, like the MGM Signature, so we thought we'd try the Rumor.  From the pictures it looked nice, so I ignored the poor reviews and decided to believe the positive ones.  Shoulda believed the poor reviews...this place is lame!\n\nFirst off, I will say the location is great.  It's just barely off the strip, so it's easy to get in and out of without having to deal with the nightmare traffic on the Blvd.  But it's within walking distance of the strip, a few steps away from the Hard Rock (in case you want a meal or to gamble) and a bunch of other restaurants.  \n\nThe decor in the rooms was also nice.  It looked just like in the pictures and we appreciated the more modern flair instead of cheesy themed decor like a lot of the casinos.  \n\nThe bed was also VERY comfy, which is probably the one thing from the reviews that convinced me to try Rumor.\n\nBut that's where the good points stop.  There were so many other things that were bad that we'd never stay here again:\n\n1) Check in is awful.  Two people work the front desk to check in as many as 8 waiting guests, answer phones, call cabs, handle reservations, etc.  there was a huge crowd of people around the front desk and it took me 15 minutes to get helped.\n\n2) The room wasn't that clean.  We found hairs in the sink.  Kinda gross when you arrive at a hotel and see other people's hair.   And the room amenities are CHEAP.  Plastic cups, tiny shampoos, no mini bar, no iron.  VERY basic.\n\n3) THE NOISE!  This hotel is right in the flight path of the airport.  Every 5 minutes or so a plane goes overhead.  And worse, when the military planes went by, I thought the roof would collapse, it was so loud!  Forget sleeping in or taking a nap here.  And at 4pm, they start happy hour in the courtyard.  LOUD music (90's hip hop, blech).  Which is all fine if you're up and in the mood to dance.  But we wanted to nap after a late night out.  Nope.  Between the planes and the music, no chance.\n\n4) The hotel is OLD.  It looks like a 1940's motel or apartment complex that was renovated (barely).  A lot of thick paint can only cover up so much.  It just showed its age.  No elevators, so I hope you like lugging your bags up the stairs.  The balconies look old.  The whole thing has a faintly musty smell.  \n\n5) Calling this hotel a \""resort\"" is a joke! The pool was ICE cold.  The weather was only 75, which was warm when you're sitting in the sun, but not hot enough to want a cold pool.  A dip in a heated pool would have felt great but it was about 55 degrees.  And it was full of palm fronds and wrappers and junk.  Obviously hadn't been cleaned in a couple of days (It was windy the day before).  I just feel like a hotel who takes so little care of the grounds doesn't deserve the term \""resort\"".\n\n6) One downside we didn't realize about staying here was how isolated we would be from food.  Although there is a bar and restaurant on the grounds, we never saw a solitary soul in there.  The last morning we ate breakfast there and it was pretty good, but mostly we went across the street to the Hard Rock for variety.\n\nSo final analysis of this place:  cute decor in the rooms, nice beds.  Totally not worth the price.  It was cheaper than the casinos, but not by a ton.  I just looks and feels old.  And with the cold pool and noise factor, I definitely won't stay there again.

Text - No impressed whatsoever. Went on Mother's Day. Paid $7 for some flavored champagne. Food was overpriced. Should have stayed close to home instead of driving 45+ minutes away for this \""experience.\""

Text - Where oh where did my review go? I had a review written, maybe it was just in my head, and now it is lost. \n\nIt was a Sunday morning, cloudy skies, windy and rather dreary. We were unsure where to go, surprise, surprise! Driving down Pecos, discussing options, I asked the wife if she was feeling adventurous, to which she said yes. \n\nA quick right turn lead us straight to Carlito's Burrito's. We were not quite sure what to expect as we walked up to the burrito place next to a bakery and tattoo shop. Upon opening the door, we were greeted by delicious aromas and a full establishment, with patron's aluminum food container tray items generously filled with oversized, drenched burritos.\n\nShuffling between the chairs and soda fountain, we made our way to the counter to order, leaning back to stair at the big screen tv menus mounted near the ceiling, our meal choices formed within our minds quite quickly.\n\nA soft spoken, but courteous and polite gentleman took our order, answered our questions and efficiently handed our drink cups to us. Shuffling back toward the soda fountain, we filled our cups with carbonated, sugary drinks and sat down at a freshly vacated table. \n\nThey were so busy, the staff could not get to an empty table to wipe it down before it was re-occupied. Heck, the vacating customers couldn't all be out of their seats before the next patrons were sitting down! \n\nWhile having a brief discussion about the artwork on the walls and how busy the restaurant was, the soft spoken man brought out our meals with an inquiry as to anything else we needed, or he could do for us. With tongues eager to taste the delicious smelling food before us, they spoke of their own volition and assured him we were ready to eat.\n\nI had chicken enchiladas in red sauce with rice, she had a bowl containing the innards of a dissected burrito.\n\nThe red sauce has some bite to it, but not too much to obliterate the flavor and essence of the chiles that lived up to their purpose of being a part of a great sauce. The chicken bits were succulent and tender, not a hint of overcooked dryness was detected.\n\nI am guessing her food was equally as delicious, as we finished our meals in near silence, aside from comments about how good the food was, and asking why we waited so long to eat there.\n\nThis was our first, but definitely not our last visit. I am anxious to get a chance to try some of their happy hour specials, and sample more of the menu!

Text - Wynn buffet was just amazing! Before this experience we also had buffet at Bellagio (brunch) and La Village at Paris. I would give 4 stars to first and 2 to second. \nWynn had many stations filled with delicious food. Lots of seafood, many kinds of sauces, sushi bar and several kinds of ceviche. The dessert menu is hard to describe simply because there no words for such an amazing things. They make their own ice cream - one of the best I ever had. \nThe staff is very attentive and the waiters are always available and friendly - this is a huge difference from Bellagio and Paris. \nThere were so much food that I could not try half of it. \nThe only downside that we went there week of Christmas and instead of expected $25 we paid $36 per person because of holidays status.

Classify the following: Their selection may not include the exact book you want, but if you enjoy literature and other types of consumable media, then this is the place for you.\n\nIt's super easy to walk in, wander around, and get lost for an hour among bright bindings and shiny CD cases.\n\nIf you are looking for a fairly cheap and educational adventure, this is the place to go.\n\nBonus: Air conditioned. A super place to spend a hot summer afternoon.\nNot a bonus: They don't keep record of everything they have. So if you're looking for something in particular, they can show you where it would be, but they can't tell you if they have it or not.
