Text - First time at this location. Maybe the last. This location gives Smoothie King a bad rap. The smoothie itself tasted great, although it took quite awhile to make. This place has a lot of business with its great location. \nThe staff...ugh. Everyone working there looked like they would rather be anywhere but there. They all looked tired and miserable. Of the three people working, not one of them smiled or greeted us. Horrible experience. Apparently the owner does not care, as I see other poor Yelps concerning poor customer service. Sad.

Text - Red Velvet Pancakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.\n\nIf any other review on this profile are calling these \""the shizz\"", there's a reason.  I'm joining that chorus of voices because this is more like a dessert....  A dessert filled with AWESOME!\n\nI had Eggs Benedict to go with them, and it was also pretty delicious.  Basically, everything I tried here was pretty darn good,\n\nA few things to note: The place is inanely busy, the wait takes a fairly long time, and they close in the early afternoon.\n\nI can understand the wait regarding the quality of food.  It's worth the wait, but come early.  The wait was about 30 minutes or so, but they keep a pretty tight schedule in making sure you get seated before of within that time.  The staff remains friendly, and attentive from seating to getting refills.  A little crowded with a short dining window, but man, was it ever worth it.\n\nBut really, if there's any reason to go, it's those red velvet pancakes with the cream cheese frosting.  Any other point I could possibly make is pretty much moot after eating those.\n\n(That was the highlight of my breakfast, if your couldn't tell.)

Text - This is the worst experience I have ever had  checking in to a hotel!!!! We paid in full they charged us but because we showed up late checking in they sold our room away!!!! I will never ever come to this hotel again!!! I drove 5 1/2 hours for them to tell me there was nothing they can do!!!! I wish this had a -100 ... They told us we should have called to tell them we were going to be late!!!!!! Can you believe that ???????? What are we kids????? We reserved the room for 3 days it was paid for 3 days!! There is nothing in the hotel policy that states to call for being late, it only states to call in advance when canceling!!!! This is unacceptable, This hotel just wanted to make double the money! Terrible customer service, never again!

Text - I totally get it.  The promoters/owners lure you into Tao Restaurant, ply you with yummy food and drink, and then convince you that Tao Nightclub is just as upscale and well-done.  Don't fall for it!  Just eat the food, drink the booze, and leave!  You'll have a better night for it.\n\nTao Restaurant is amazing.  I loved the decor, the service, the short wait, and of course the food.  This behemoth of a restaurant does Asian fusion right.  I had the Tao-tini (after my requisite dirty Grey Goose on the rocks).  Fruity, strong as all hell, and delicious.  My PIC and I started with the lobster wontons.  Best.  Dish.  Ever.  Next time I go back, that's all I'm ordering.  We also had the lobster dumplings to start.  Good.  But definitely not the lobster wontons.\n\nWe then ordered the Thai fish hot pot, which had a very strong sauce, overpowering on its own, but perfect with steamed rice.  We made the mistake of ordering veggie fried brown rice.  Why were we trying to be healthy? Anyway, what came was a plate of veggies + mush.  Ugh.  Panda Express makes a better fried rice than that!\n\nUpon leaving the Venetian, my PIC and I decided that next time, we're just ordering 6 servings of the lobster wontons.  And then heading to Jet to shake it all off!\n\nP.S.  One of my students told me that her group of friends was offered free dinner + drinks + Tao admission the same weekend.  So if you have a group of 10+ cute Asian girls, you may get dinner for free!  Otherwise, expect to spend about $50/person, not including drinks.

Text - Should've known by the name America that this place was not going to be good. Not traditional at all skip this place.

Text - I am a reluctant 5-star giver, at best.  But our 14 person group had yet another excellent dining experience at an Outback Steakhouse on the road.  As in SoCal, we'd been put off by a long delay at another local restaurant and called Outback to see if they would accommodate our group.  They cheerfully consented.  We waited maybe 10 minutes inside the restaurant while they cleared and set our table up and then sat down to eat.  Our servers were what brought this otherwise 3.5 star review up to five stars.  They were cheerful, on the spot, corrected any oversights immediately, made thoughtful suggestions, and didn't dote.\n\nDon't get me wrong - this is a chain steak restaurant but one that our travelling group has decided is high up on our list of \""go-to\"" spots when we're too tired to explore other options.  My rib eye steak was cooked to perfection, the ceaser salad wasn't overdressed, and my garlic mashed potatoes were tasty, if not a tad on the dry side.  I split a chocolate mini-milk shake with a coworker - it was to die for!\n\nBarring any future negative experiences at other Outbacks around the country, we'll certainly be back.  Thanks, Surprise, AZ Outback!

Considreing the above, classify the following: By the time I made it to the Swizzle Inn my phone had died so I couldn't check in, so very sad for me, trying to get that dang master yelp badge hahaha\n\nWell after a country filled night it was time to just find a nice little dive bar and chillax with a drink, again drink for the night whiskey n coke, bartender was Courtney, she was nice and friendly. The bar had a great vibe to it, not to packed not very empty either, by now it was close to 1am and everyone their seemed to be friendly, and talkative, guess they didn't care we were new.\n\nNice little neighborhood dive bar, wouldn't mind coming back, drinks were cheap & strong and those my friends are what I like!
