Case: This is my favorite grocery store when I'm in Las Vegas. It's 20 miles away from the house, but the best place for all your Mexican or Latin American food needs.\n\npanaderia-bolillos, conchas, churros, tres leches cake, flan, and numerous other pan dulce\ntortilleria-freshly made tortillas\ncarniceria-two words...chorizo verde, along with cheeses, ceviches\ntaqueria-best chicken family meals, along with fresh made smoothies, salsas, pico de gallo\n\nI always make it a point to stock up on the groceries, which usually includes a family meal for him and his friends or me making a couple of pans of his favorite enchiladas verde the day before I leave. \n\nThis is a large well stocked grocery store with an excellent produce section. They have nice wide aisles, big parking lot. And their prices are great.

Case: After walking down The Strip to Planet Hollywood from The Venetian, we were thirsty and stopped at the Miracle Mile shops to get water.  \n\nBOY, OH BOY...it's expensive!!!\n\n$2.50 for a small bottle of water.\n\nNot a Fan of getting raked over the coals...\n\nBoo to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.  You can buy a 35 pack of Arrowhead water at Costco for like $6.00.

Case: Loved Point Park so I thought I'd check out Point Brugge. \nIt was only moderately worth it.  Maybe there was something that I was missing.\n\nWe went here for lunch and ordered some crab cakes and fries. I easily could have defrosted some crab cakes from Giant Eagle and enjoyed them just as much, spending half as much. \n\nAs for the fries they were way too greasy for me.  I understand they aren't your normal fries but it was a bit excessive.  \n\nDefinitely sticking to Point park.

Case: Solid spot!  Generous servings, and flavorful broths to satisfy your cravings.  I had the Tokyo ramen with pork and added an egg, corn and garlic puree.  The broth was light with just enough kick from the spice and the vegetables were very fresh.  We also had an order of gyoza and the shrimp purse.  Both were good but the ramen was clearly the star.  Next time I'm in the area I will have to make a point of stopping back in.

Case: Stayed mid week and lack of crowds was fantastic (check in was a breeze, check out by Friday morning was crowded as hell).  We were upgraded, but it sounds like everyone and their mother gets upgraded, which makes me question that actual value of the rooms.  We were in the wraparound terrace suite for two nights, and it was very nice and spacious, lots of hanging out areas, although I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to hotels, so I'm not the harshest judge.  Balcony was really nice to hang out on; apparently, most hotels in Las Vegas do not have balconies.  While the view of the Bellagio fountains is nice, the fountain show every half an hour gets a bit annoying.  Luckily, the sliding doors were pretty sound proof (not entirely, but good enough).  We had a kitchen, which was a welcome touch, but there aren't any plates or pans, so you can't really cook anything.  We just used it to chill champagne and store leftovers.  I loved the layout and openness of the bathroom and bedroom suite.  I usually find hotel bathrooms claustrophobic and awkward, but the huge separate tub and shower and two sink areas was great.  There is another full bathroom in the hallway, so the lack of privacy isn't a big deal if you have guests over.\n\nSince it's one of the new kids on the block, it obviously appears tasteful and modern.  There are many choices of restaurants and bar areas, and it's right in the middle of the Strip across from the Miracle Mile shops, so the location was perfect -- easy bridge access to Planet Hollywood or City Center / Aria and easy street level access.  Didn't have any problems at all.

Case: Fish Fry Fridays!\n\nCam with the whole famdamily. There was like 12 of us. 95% all got the fish. The staff was efficient, effective and did a good job. \n\nThe fish was served with fries and soggy cole slaw. While both were good (not great) the fish was perfect. Perfectly breaded and fried. \n\nUnless you can seriously pack it in, You DO NOT need the all you can eat. None of us could have eaten another bite.

Case: Decided to stop here because it was easy to get to. The service was sub-par. We watched people that sat down after us get their food and drinks before us. Their food selection isn't that great and the food isn't very good either. However, their specialties alcoholic candy drinks were pretty good. They were of course pricey.

Case: My experience with this restaurant prompted me to join yelp and write my first review.  I just moved to uptown Charlotte and am dealing with some injuries (fractured distal femur and grade 2 ankle sprain) that has me ordering delivery some nights when I don't feel like preparing food or picking up.\n\nWith that being said, I don't think any restaurant or delivery driver needs the backstory to justify needing food delivered to your door.  I'm in a highrise uptown, people get delivery here all the time, and the concierge accommodates and sets the elevator for drivers...etc.\n\nFor some reason this guy put up the biggest argument about parking his car with hazards on and coming up to my room.  After 4 phone calls back and forth between the delivery driver and I (one hour after I ordered because whoever took my order wasn't able to decipher Pine from Tryon -_-) he was finally feeling assured enough to get out of the car... but not before 1 last call telling me that nobody was at the front desk and that I would need to come down after all.  So I call the concierge desk, and sure enough, somebody picked up...and let the guy in the elevator.  I lied, 1 more call was made when the guy was on my floor - asking the unit number...because my having made mention of the unit number before fell on deaf ears since nobody intended to come up to begin with. lovely.\n\nI'll spare you the exchange.  It was lackluster and almost no words spoke in our ~25 second encounter.\n\nTHE FOOD.\n\nI ordered Paneer Tikka Masala (spicy) and a Chicken Tandoori which I ended up having to order to meet the $30 minimum for delivery.  I didn't mind, I considered it a nice meal for the following day.  Paneer was not fresh, spice was adequate, but the overall taste was not something you come to expect after having paneer tikka masala's all around the world.  The Naans were standard, it's hard to mess that up.  The chicken tandoori which I got to the same night because I considered the paneer a wash, was totally lacking in flavor - almost as if it were chicken pieces with a red coating.  I don't expect much in the way of presentation, but you can do a little better than a few onions strips and a lemon wedge.\n\nThere seemed to be a huge language barrier when calling to order as well.  Like I had to repeat my phone number about 6 times...and I'm an American born Desi - so I'm very familiar with how to flavor my american accent with some desi tongue so those native to India and not as attune to our language (our language being english) can understand.  Half way through my order he asked me where in India I'm from (I said my father is from gujarat) and then we switched to Hindi for the rest of the call.  I had an advantage and still had trouble...yikes.\n\nAnnnyways, not ordering from there again.\n\n\n\nEdit: One more thing.  The only other Indian restaurant I've tried in Charlotte in my ~1 month here so far is Copper.  \n\nSo here's my review for Copper:  \n\nI had the Paneer Tikka Masala.  WOW.  ;)

Classify the case below.
I am big on cleanliness. I could have overlooked the yard sale of chairs and tables left in my suite, but other things bothered me. These include: dirty carpeting (that doubled as an ashtray), scraped-up walls, doors and elevators, room service trays that sat in the hallways for 24 hours, the sound of loud arguments and smashing glass at 3 am, housekeeping staff that helped themselves to all of my change on the counter days before I was to check out, skels'  panhandling and picking cigarettes out of the ashtrays in the taxi area etc. I guess they are saving money on maintenance. I was here on business, I would never come here given the choice.
