Case: Worst experience ever.. 5 people 5 different meals and 4 out of 5 were made wrong.. 2 of the 4 were made wrong twice!!! They can't even toast a muffin! They burnt it 3 times.. and then they didn't even give us any kind if discount for the bad experience!! It's making me put a star.. but they don't even deserve one!!!!! Will never go back!!

Case: Wow. Just wow.\n\nThe reviews were rave...and this place had been on my list for awhile, and the wait was beyond worth it.\n\nA friend and I headed there before a movie at the waterfront.  We immediately wanted to try everything.\n\nThe staff was soooo nice, welcoming and helpful.\n\nWe had the Fritopie.  Amazingness.  Piles of fritos with heaven on top. \n\nBetween the two of us we had the pork taco, the breakfast taco, and the short rib tacos.  Wow.  Each one better than the one before it.  BUT - I am dreaming of the pork taco, it haunts me at night - beckoning me to return.\nThey were out of the chorizo and the brisket.  The potential of those alone - is enough reason to head back.\n\nThe sides were also great - Mac and Cheese. Amazing. Next time want to try it with the chili added. \n\nThe jalapeno apple slaw had a nice bite, but was fresh compliment to the tacos.\n\nThe beans were also great (but hey - they're beans...to even mention them means they were great).\n\nIt's byob, very casual, only a few seats.  \n\nAs this place grows - I would assume it will be harder to get a seat.  Next time I'm planning on a take-out feast.\n\nHopefully tonight.

Case: I wrote a rave review for this in 2009 but since then I have had many bad experiences.  I will not go here for lunch anymore - the service is inexplicably slow and unfriendly, and it has caused embarrassment when I bring work lunch meetings here.  They charge for every soda refill but do not tell you until you get the bill.\n\nOn the other hand, their breakfasts are very reasonably priced and delicious.  So my new policy is to only go here before 11 am.

Case: We stopped by after Cathouse and I was not impressed.\n\nGranted, we did get a booth, VIP treatment, bottles & drinks all for $0...but the people were not very good looking and the overall feel was...tourists trying way too hard.\n\nThere are too many other places in Vegas to go...

Case: I know buffet sounds cheesy, but this is not like any normal buffet.  This buffet is in the Cosmopolitan Hotel and worth a try just for the \""huge\"" I mean the size of my hand \""huge\"" chocolate covered strawberries (I've included pics).  Every dessert I tried was divine.  Yes, I had a few samplings.  Besides, the dessert table, the food was equally delicious.  They had a smorgasbord of every ethnic dish to desire your craving.   There were several restaurants inside the Cosmopolitan, but this one was memorable.  Now there are many fine dining in Vegas, many I would give 5 stars to, but I'm not reviewing those.    As for buffet, this was one of the best I've experience.  If you're the poor chump stuck at some conference at the Cosmo and can't leave the hotel then I recommend this place.

Case: Toilet paper. That's where this place lost a star. \n\nI stayed at the Elara for a bachelor party weekend. The room was ready by noon on a Saturday, which pleased both myself and the sweating Bud Lights we carried with us. Security was present, but not oppressive, as guests were checked for keys to enter the elevators. The room was nice, with floor to ceiling windows, switch operated black out curtains (so named for their effectiveness and the state in which you will soon be in) a sink, mini-fridge, flat screen TVs and a fold out couch.  \n\nThe pool area looked nice, but I didn't check it out. The little shop in the lobby is stocked like a convenience store. \n\nThe hotel hooks up to an underground mall, shaped like a circle, which connects to other hotels and gaming.  The mall experiences occasional storms like a Rain Forest Caf\u00e9.  I have seen rain before, so I was not as impressed as several slack jawed tourists with Nikons.  \n\nAside from a trip out for dinner, my group never left the hotel complex.  As an early 30's guy with a new kid, my drinking cannot keep up with my 25 year old self, not to mention my unmarried friends that drink five nights a week and don't think 10PM is the perfect bedtime. \n\nThe first night was fantastic. The first morning was iffy. By afternoon I'd started to develop a permanent red ring on my cheeks from camping out on the toilet. This is where I get to my point. \n\nThe star rating of a hotel should equate to the quality of the toilet paper. Like, if you have one star, fine, I'll bring my own Charmin or be prepared to use McDonald's napkins on my taint and walk bow legged for the next few days.  If this is a 4+ star resort, then why did my sphincter feel like I'd been sitting on a Milwaukee 5 amp orbital sander? Jesus Christ, I would have had more luck with a pineapple. \n\nIn conclusion, very good hotel, but bring some baby wipes for your b hole.

Considreing the above, classify the following: The Bistro Buffet at the PALMS is Absloutly the WORST Buffet in Las Vegas! All food was processed, frozen low quality. Food was also old and dry. Prime Rib was like rubber and tasted like it was steamed instead of roasted. Salad bar had very few offerings. Deserts were very cheap looking and stale. For $24.99 you would expect much better. Many (if not all) employee cafeterias in Las Vegas serve better food for FREE! NEVER AGAIN!!!!
