Case: For my 100th Yelp review, I've decided to talk about the BEST buffet in Las Vegas....the Wynn Buffet.  Yes, its a little pricey, but really $35 for dinner in Vegas for the amount and quality of food is not that bad.  There is a long line as well, but it doesn't seem any longer than other popular hotel buffets.  Anyway, back to the Wynn...\n\nHoly cow, what a great buffet.  And speaking of cow, the Wynn served some of the tastiest prime rib outside of SF's House of Prime Rib.  The buffet serves a wide variety of food, all of which was delicious and fresh.  In particular, the seafood and pizza bars stand out.  Everyone waxes poetic about the split Alaskan crab legs, which are indeed meaty and huge, but why talk about the pizza?  Well, the Wynn features a large open pizza oven operated by a pizza guy who is tossing fresh pizzas every few minutes.  We get friendly with him and he offers to make us a personal pizza with whatever we want on it, given the ingredients that he has.  We get a white sauce pizza with sausage, mushrooms, bacon, and spinach- sounds mundane, but it was jaw-droppingly good.  The three of us ended up taking the entire pizza back to the table, where we then proceeded to demolish it within minutes.  The pizza, when fresh out of the oven, featured a crust that was thin and flavorful, crisp yet pliable enough to fold in half.  That pizza, along with the best tandoori chicken I've had outside of an Indian restaurant, succulent cocktail shrimp, deliciously crisp haricot verts, and fabulous dessert bar (I wouldn't be surprised if its the same gelato and sorbet that they sell at Sugar & Ice), made for an extraordinary meal.\n\nSteve Wynn is known for being a perfectionist and it shows in the buffet and the little details.  For example, the table cloths were 100% Egyptian cotton and made in Italy.  I believe the silverware were Waterford.  The cocktail shrimp came with both tartar and cocktail sauce.  The entire place is very stylish, from the open kitchen feel of the buffet itself, to the modern, off-kilter stark white square plates and bowls.  The topiaries are made with real fruit, which included mangoes and whole jackfruit.  Service was great and attentive, though slightly slow.\n\nOverall, a buffet that outshines all the others in Vegas.  I would highly recommend it to anyone.  I'm definitely making a beeline for it next time I'm in town.

Case: I am really so hopeful for Herbs & Rye but I can't seem to get the consistency to keep the stars going.  One day it's a meh drink, the next awesome, the next good, the next meh.  I don't know what it's gonna take to get the consistency but please oh please find a way!  I love the concept and effort and passion.

Case: My first time there and it was not good.  It was about 9pm and I understand it is a loud and fun place, at least for other patrons.  It wasn't just noisy in there, many people were yelling, hurting my ears.  This was probably because many were partying and partially drunk from what I observed.  That's all fine, not my cup of tea but probably lots of fun.\n\nI ordered the shrimp, clams, and lobster, all Hot N Juicy style.  I also added rice and corn.  The corn was actually very tender and the tastiest corn on the cob I have ever had - yummy.  The shrimp were whole, tasted good, but were quite difficult to peel.  I had to use a tool which I normally never have to.  That was probably just my bad?\n\nThe clams were large and tasty but I kept getting a little sand and even more tiny pieces of broken shell in the bites..  It is such a turn off to chomp down on a clam and bite on something so hard you are afraid you chipped a tooth.  I had to bite down very carefully because it kept happening.\n\nThe lobster was a live and whole specimen.  It was nice and large.  But it had to be the worst lobster I have ever tried to chew.  I've had my share of tough, overcooked lobster but the tail was like a piece of rubber.  Claw meat was just the opposite, it seemed to be missing texture or had one a little like clay.  Live lobster cooked properly is usually quite tender, softer than frozen.  I usually fight through such difficulties but I swear I simply could not chew this beast.  I only took a small bite of the tail but had to leave almost all of it because I just couldn't chew it apart in my mouth.  I've never even had really hard rubbery scallops this bad.  It honestly reminded me of trying to chew whale blubber (Alaska Native dish) or maybe a hard rubbery piece of Abalone.  Even though it was obvious almost the entire tail was still on the table (eat out of bags, off the table, no dishes style) they just offered me 10% discount.  I could have used the meat as a racket ball it was so resilient.  I don't even know how you can make a lobster that rubbery.  Hard - yes, like tough rubber - ?\n\nPerhaps my experience was unique, YMMV.  I don't think I'll be back to find out, unless I am seriously drunk enough to fit into the loud crowd and not notice how bad the food may be.\n\nI far preferred the food in places like Joe's Crab Shack.

Case: This place is now closed. It is now called Pittsburgh burgers. Just past by and saw the sign. Hope their food will be better!

Case: I really enjoyed eating here, though I must say certain foods really met my expectations and some even exceeded it. \n\nI feel bad about saying this, but I really didn't like the service from my waitress. She was pregnant (not to discriminate), but she just wasn't very attentive. There wasn't very many people (two tables) and while I understand that it's not easy for her to walk and do all these things, since well, she is very pregnant, I waited and waited for her, and several times (almost all of the time), I had to ask the chef cooking in front of me for basic things like water, a set of utensils, and the check twice (before I paid and after I put my card in).\n\nThat's why I docked a star. \n\nBack to the good stuff.\nThe Robata dishes were very good.\nI got the Togarashi Skirt Steak- excellent\nSweet shrimp and Scallop- LOVED IT\nJumbo Asparagus- This was SOOO GOOD!!! Loved the sea salt with it.\nThough I really didn't like the Shitake Mushrooms very much, it was still ok. Had I known I would have just gotten two asparagus instead.\n\nAs for nigiri, I got the unagi, sake and two uni. I haven't had good uni in a long time so it was about time! So worth the money!!! :)\n\nThe unagi though, I remember it being slightly overcooked. Just enough so that the ends were a bit rough to eat, but overall it was very nicely seasoned with the unagi sauce.\n\nI really enjoyed going here and I'll probably go here again if I'm in town. Until next time!

Case: Wyndham is AMAZING and comfy! The gym in Tower One needs to be bigger. Other than that, EVERYTHING was great.

Case: My review was deleted here for some reason, so I will repost it. \n\nI ordered a large cheesesteak with mushrooms and peppers.  I drove home to my condo right next door.  When I unwrapped the paper, meat went everywhere.  The sandwich was ripped, squashed, and looked unsafe to eat.  I drove back to Capriotti's and asked to talk to the manager.  He looked at the sandwich and asked me \""what's wrong with it?\"".  I asked if he was serious and if he would like to eat it, my treat.  He said he did not want to eat it as he had one earlier.  They did not offer a replacement or my money back.  I left the sandwich at the store and hit up the del taco right next to it.  Sad that food quality is better at a cheap taco store. I paid  like 16$ for the sandwich at Capriotti's.  what a joke. \n\n\nPicture attached.  See for yourself.

Case: This is a wonderful hotel.  Old money decor with a huge chandelier in the lobby.  Gold and red were the chosen colors for this which also reflect old money.  There are a couple shops located by the lobby in case you need gum and diamond earrings.  A full service Starbucks is located to the right of the check in counter.  A full service bar is located a few steps up.  Honestly if you do not ask for directions it is possible to get turned around on the first floor.  \n\nThe last time we stayed here they were booked solid however they had 3 people working the check in counter so you would never know unless you over heard it.  We settled into our room which had a nice view of a little park.  Rooms are small but that is to be expected in downtown.  (I have stayed at the suites here before and they are like apartments with kitchens, separate bedrooms, grand living rooms, and comfortable furniture splurge if you can) The bathroom was comfortable and had enough space for toiletries.  The pillows and bed are like a cloud.  I want their comforters in the worst way but no one will tell me what it is (yes I have gone as far to check for tags and beg the front desk clerks).  We left for several hours to enjoy the night and came back to have some after dinner drinks in the bar.  The place was packed but the staff easily navigated the crowd and we were served within a few minutes.  \n\nI really enjoy staying at this hotel.  I highly recommend you staying here if you can.  Enjoy!

Considreing the above, classify the following: This place went downhill quickly. We used to frequent here pretty regularly. After coming tonight to take advantage of their promotional birthday dinner for my wife she was promptly asked by a rude bartender to PROVE her birth date. Instead of a happy birthday. Our food took almost an hour. Showed up half hot half cold. Pretty similar to the shoulder we got by service. Huge thumbs down.
