Example: Around 2000 a wave of new mega-hotels updated the Vegas strip, with the Bellagio a flagship (peers were Mandalay Bay and the Venetian).  These virtual towns (the B. had 3000 rooms, 10000 employees) included new diverse and even \""destination\"" restaurants.  Some time ago, hearing about this booming restaurant scene (and seeing people like able sommeliers leave the SF area for Vegas careers), I organized some food-centric Vegas visits with several friends, using Bellagio as a base.  We checked out all its restaurants (and many others in town), stayed in various Bellagio accommodations, and by request I got a complete facilities tour, for planning possible future visits or events.  I could tell you more detail, from more experience, about the Bellagio complex's restaurants than most other Yelpers.\n\nI got to know the Bellagio well, warts and all -- the warts finally became excessive.\n\nThe Bellagio brought some pioneering, classy eateries to Vegas at a wide range of prices.  Many are independently owned.  They and other Bellagio features added elegance to the Strip, offset by occasional false notes -- reminders that Las Vegas isn't just about elegance or good cooking.  Still, our food experiences were worthwhile, so 2 stars here instead of just one -- for the final incident that forced me to write off the Bellagio as a hotel.\n\nI'll skip over smaller gaffes, like changing suites twice in one stay from quirks like endless big gypsy-type moths emerging from an air vent (\""they live here!\"" chuckled a maid); or on another visit, finding many room lightbulbs dead, implying no one ever checks them.\n\nOn the third, which unexpectedly became the last, Bellagio stay, one friend, arriving from out of town, complained of raucous construction noise through his wall, making a much-needed nap impossible.\n\nI contacted the front-desk manager (Mgr1), who explained that the room next to my friend's needed repair after a guest \""trashed\"" it.  (Good old Vegas.)  As amends, she invited my friend to visit the hotel's fancy fitness center and spa, waiving the usual fee.  My friend was satisfied.\n\nOn departure, contrary to Mgr1's offer, the bill had a charge for the spa (something like $30).  I explained this to Mgr2, checking me out.  In a suspicious tone suitable for addressing lying children, Mgr2 claimed no knowledge or record of Mgr1's offer, and did not try to check the history of raucous repairs.  (Mgr1, naturally, was off-duty.   If I get a chance to check the trip notes, I'll add both managers' names here.)\n\nWhat clinched the unprofessionalism was Mgr2 seeming never to stop and consider that I might be honest, and what that would imply.  Nor show awareness of how serious broken promises are in a hospitality business.  Maybe some Bellagio guests, besides \""trashing\"" rooms, do pull petty hustles like that (if so, it's another Bellagio reality worth knowing).  But this ball was in the B's court.  I insisted Mgr2 remove the mistaken charge -- the hotel, after all, had my California address (and credit-card info) and could always bill me later, were such a charge ever legit!\n\nBe aware, therefore, that you might well spend thousands of dollars in the Bellagio lodgings and restaurants (including hundreds just in tips), and still be stubbornly accused, via employee screw-ups, of cheating the hotel of $30.  Nor will you get any apology.  (Mgr2 possessed enough information to confirm my explanation and to follow up, if she gave a God damn about customer service and the Bellagio's image; she did not do so.)  It left a bad taste in my mouth.  $30 was zilch compared to the later business that the B lost after that episode.\n\nI've stayed at all sorts of lodgings around the US and elsewhere.  Even those much more modest than Bellagio would consider Mgr2's attitude unacceptable.  Yes, I could have invested more time to complain, written a letter.  Yet Las Vegas's hotel industry is highly competitive.  It was simpler just to warn people away from the Bellagio, and take our later Vegas hotel business to competitors, still within easy walk of the B's worthy restaurants.\n\nAll part of the constant reminders of Las-Vegas-Strip priorities.  The touts and pimps out on the strip itself remind you pretty quick, if you take a stroll.  But even at what, a few short years ago, was LV's leading hotel, under veneers of elegance you can find bug infestations, lavish suites with dead lightbulbs, and desk clerks with an attitude from a seedy motel.

Example: I always pass by Strawberry Fields going to a nice Urbana restaurant or Schnucks, but I've only been inside a handful of times in over 5 years being in the area. Every time I go in, I never come out with anything because it's simply priced too high. It's not economical for a lot of people to purchase daily/weekly needs from this store.The selection of times is vast and it even has an extensive health food section which I didn't expect. \n\nHowever, due to my recent love affair with fresh baked breads, I decided to purchase a baguette from its bakery to see if I like it. The baguette was big and it only costed $2.45. I thought it would taste pretty good since it was fresh baked and all, but I was pretty disappointed after biting into a bland, thick and dry baguette. It was not crunchy but, rather, just very hard after I baked it. I needed to drink something while munching on it because it pulls all of the moisture out of my mouth and makes it hard to swallow. \nI tried eating it for the next few days with my boyfriend who also shared the same opinion on the bread and just ended up tossing half of it away. Not worth it even at just a few bucks.There are better places for fresh baked bread and more affordable places for organic foods.

Example: If you enjoy (and really who doesn't) amazing and fresh produce, wild caught meats, etc. then definitely check out the Old Town Farmer's Market every Saturday from 8am to 1pm. We've been a few times already and need to get a 2nd produce only fridge in the near future as we come home with way to much each time. McClendon's Farm is the main produce provider at the Old Town Farmer's Market and some of the best produce I have seen.\n\nIf you go make sure to bring your reusable environmental friendly bags to put all your produce into. If you forget they have plastic bags. Really fun walking around to meet the other local vendors, try out their delicious foods and get outdoors in downtown Scottsdale.
