Text - I've stayed at the MC a few times before and it's always been a pretty nice hotel but this last experience I had in late June was kinda disappointing and I'm not sure I'd go back again, at least not til some things change. \n\nIt started with a ridiculously long wait to check in --over 40 mins on a Wednesday? Really? I could see this kind of a wait on the weekend or a Friday night but this took me by surprise as I've never waited this long mid-week. The irritating part was there were clerks at their stations who just weren't calling people. I supposed they could've been working on some other issue but then don't stand there and make it look like you have all these clerks working when only two are actually checking people in. :( \n\nMy other major disappointment with the MC was that they closed the pool at 4PM for a PRIVATE event. Really? During the summer when it's 100+ degrees and your guests want to stay by the pool most of the day, you close the pool that is supposed to be for ALL guest for a private event? Keep in mind, they charge us a resort fee for all the amenities including the pool and yet, we can't use it because they're making money off it for a private event. I think at the minimum they should've refunded our resort fee on the day they closed the pool but no such offer was made at check-out. \n\nI go to Vegas quite often and there are many other options in Vegas to not get better service. Hopefully they will improve in the future.

Text - Joe's Farm Grill is the place to go for something when you are tired of traditional American food. The building is modern and funky, the surrounding green space is cool and inviting, and the food is reliably good.\n\nOrder at the walk-up counter and keep up because the line can move quickly. The line can be long during busy hours, so I try to avoid peak times, especially because the wails of poorly managed children echo painfully loudly in the high-ceilinged counter area. (And unfortunately, there always seems to be at least one family ignoring a screaming kid in the place.) Once you've placed your order, you can take the order-is-ready buzzer and go find a seat inside or on the patio or yard seating.\n\nI've tried a number of things on the menu, all of which have been good. The Ahi sandwich has a generous portion of perfectly seared tuna. It was too much food (and the wasabi dressing was a bit to spicy for me) and the meal turned out to be a drippy mess, but I liked it.\n\nThe barbeque chicken pizza is good but usually too wet (I like pizza crisp), and I also recommend the pepperoni pizza. The Asian salad is delicious; Joe's salads definitely show off how fresh all the ingredients are. I recently tried the ribs and pulled pork platter. It was big enough to feed two adults, and both meats were excellent.\n\nThe best item on the menu is the sweet potato fries. It's a large portion of not greasy (maybe baked?), mildly seasoned thin-sliced fries with a mango/pineapple chutney on the side. I upgrade to them at every opportunity. I also suggest keeping an eye out for seasonal/special items; I once tried a date shake and it was fantastic.\n\nThe bathrooms always seem to be extremely clean and have a fun, funky decor. Display cases with old Barbie and G.I.Joe style dolls are built into the walls, and an in-wall TV shows what looks to be old Thunderbirds (marionette) episodes on continual loop.

Text - This is a very chic grocery store. Lots of veggies including rare mushrooms. Nice meat section with lots of selections. Wine collection, a sushi bar, sweet thing bar, and a great flower section.

Text - Stay away! My friend was hungry for Korean BBQ so we decided to try this place. Nice decor, pretty empty restaurant. The point I want to make here is that we ordered the grilling meats. The waitress used the same tongs to handle both raw and cooked meats. 5 hours later, was never so sick in my life. Poor service, felt discriminated against for being non Korean, pushy, bossy and then did not inform our party of two, gratuity was added already . Insult to injury here. 123.00 for two people, bad service and food poisoning.  I am filing a complaint with the health department so that no others have this experience.

Text - Alright sooo I have a buddy in Vegas who claimed that this place was the shit and way better than Boiling Crab and Claws out here in Orange County so I had to put it to the test. Took a trip to Vegas with a group of our friends and decided to have dinner with one of my friends friends who said we could try this place. \n\nWhen we got there it looked to be pretty busy with a fifteen to twenty minute wait which wasn't to bad. The host was pretty cool and talked to us for a bit while we waited for our table. We finally got seated and ordered right away. It pretty much took them 20 minutes or more for them to come out and let us know that our food was going to be coming out a little late due to the rush they had. 10-15 minutes after that was when our food came out. The sauce was good but a bit watery. The shrimp was perfect and not over cooked. The service was alright with the waiter coming to check on his here and there. As I was eating one of the remaining shrimp that was left in the bag I noticed a thick black hair on the head of the shrimp. Normally I would think it was just the whiskers or whatever you want to call it from the shrimp but NO it was straight up a pubic hair with the little white thing on bottom tip of it from wherever the hair was from. My friend decided to take the piece of shrimp with pube still on it up to the front and complain. The asshole Caucasian male waiter gave her attitude and claimed it wasn't hair and that it was one of the whiskers from the shrimp. He said that the hair wasn't purely black and that there was a redish color to it which was bull shit. So my friend came back to sit down with us and was irritated with the waiter for handling the situation the way he did. The host that was talking to us before we got seated walked by and we showed him the hair and even he himself knew it was a piece of hair. He joked around and said \""well thats obviously not my hair.\"" and laughed because he had a buzzed head. He finally took care of the situation and took the order of shrimp off the bill for us and apologized. \n\nOverall... place is over priced compared to what the Cali prices are. The sauce is not too bad but not what I imagined it to be after all the hype. And lastly the service sucked balls but the only thing that made up for it was the host who was nice enough to help us out. Would I go back there ever again? Absolutely not!

Text - I really really enjoyed Carrot Top!  I wasn't sure what to expect, and braced myself for goofy prop comedy.  But the props were only about 25% of his show, and they were actually pretty funny.  I laughed all the way through his show, which at times was a little \""adult\"" ... if you're uber-sensitive, you might be put off.  Not me, though!\n\nHe's a skilled comic, did a well-rounded set covering TONS of topics ... he's rapid-fire to be sure.  He's very self deprecating about his looks and reputation -- even showed a clip from Family Feud \""Name an annoying celebrity you wish would just go away...\"" and the lady said \""Carrot Top!\""  Awww.... (I'm laughing again as I type this!)\n\nHe did quite a lot of musical parody, poking fun at pop stars, country singers, etc.\n\nHonestly, it was just funny stuff, pure and simple -- and a great theater with excellent views.  Used to be an IMAX theater, so the seating is sort of steep rows of comfy chairs with clear, unimpeded sight lines.\n\nHe even ran around during a break and poured out shots of Crown Royal to dozens of folks in the crowd!  Free premium scotch ... hard to beat that  :^)\n\nGo ... you'll enjoy it!

Text - Top notch folks! Had the Aiko.  Pita was light and airy, all beef dog was tasty and the mango chutney was great without being overpowering.  Chased it down with a Ruski lemonade. Shame on me for not coming out here sooner.  So many possible combinations for custom dogs too! cheers

Text - The only pros I can think of about this place is that it is very convenient/has a good location near the D gate terminals in the airport and that the bread they use is super fresh. Other than that I found my turkey sandwich to be EXTREMELY salty and the turkey to be far from fresh. I don't expect airport food  to be gourmet but when it's a Wolfgang Puck place, I expect much better than this.

Classify the following: Do research on karate and compare schools. This school puts emphasis on katas and teaches very little sparring. Ranks are questionable at best. If you want to do nice katas and you do not care about learning real karate or practical self defense this school may work for you. This school is also not at many locals tournaments, red flag. Took my child out and put them in another school. He's now having to relearn everything and realizing they could have gotten really hurt becouse they thought they were learning self defense. It's dangerous. But, if you want to exercise and learn Kata dancing and point sparring this could be a good fit, otherwise please do your homework.Teenagers are doing most the teaching. Or adults with new black belts.
