Text - So I just called to book a class for me and a friend from a Groupon we bought. The classes for the next 2 weeks were all booked :(. I called and spoke to a very pleasant Paul who said they are extending this offer for a month. Yippee. You rock and we can't wait to try our hand at this exciting craft!! Huge props for Great customer service!!

Text - This place was soooo cool. We did the Big Night Out, which consisted of salad, cheese, meat and dessert. For the meat we did the Fondue Feast (Filet Mignon, sirloin steak, chicken, pork tenderloin, shrimp, ravioli and rigatoni), which was really good. At first I was skeptical about the whole cooking process -- this was my first fondue experience. But I am still alive so the stuff did cook! \n\nBest part: Disaronno Meltdown for dessert (white chocolate and amaretto). YUMMY!! \n\nI would definitely recommend this place for the food and experience. It was a bit on the pricier side. We just happened to drop in without reservations about 30 mins before closing (unbeknowest to us), and they were gracious enough to take us anyways. I felt bad because we kept our waiter like an hour past closing but he was so cool about it, we left him a huge tip. That's the other thing -- if you do the various courses, it takes TIME, so you're not gonna be in and out in an hour. \n\nOverall, great ambiance and food!

Text - Seriously overrated. After a one hour and fifteen wait in line, we were ushered to our table. This place was mediocre and not worth the price. There is far more bang for the buck out there in Las Vegas.

Text - I wish I hadn't grown up.\nBecause when I did...\nI went to this store which made regret ever being a Toys R Kid.\n\nThis Toys R Us could be used as the very reason why I do most of my shopping online.  The store is big and may have a huge selection, but it's woefully messy and unorganized.  And by messy I don't just mean stuff all over the place, I'm talking about dirty with cracked floor titles that are big enough to be tripped over.  I would say the store was hit by Grey Thursday/Black Friday tornado and never recovered, but it feels like it's always this way.  And it didn't take me too long to come to that conclusion.  That's because with the exception of the cashiers, I only saw three employees on the floor.  I know it was only friday in the mid-afternoon, but It's the holiday season.  How are there only three people available to help customers, restock shelves, and do any general cleaning in a store this big?\n\nUnless you have a child with you, I would avoid entering this Toys R Us at all cost.  Actually, for their safety, I would avoid bringing a child into this store, too.

Text - Great patio and nice beer selection. The pizzas are small but delicious. I could probably eat 2 by myself if I was really hungry.

Text - Having stayed at the Palazzo, and after a few nights out late at XS and Marquee, being able to come back to the resort, and having the Grand Lux Cafe open at 6am was a god-send. I think the only bad thing is that it closes from 2am-6am daily, but for me, heading back to my room each morning around 6am, it was perfect.\n\nI am well aware they have the $18.95 breakfast buffet, but as far as myself, none of the food on their buffet appeals to me, and so both the mornings I decided to get a late night cap, I went for the Chicken & Waffles combo one morning, and the next morning I went for the Caramel Banana-Nut French Toast.\n\nI am from LA, so I am spoiled by the original Roscoe's as far as Chicken & Waffles. I prefer my chicken with bone, not boneless tenders; and that's what you get here at the Grand Lux Cafe-- Chicken tenders & Waffles. Granted, at 6am, after a long night of drinking and partying, anything warm/hot will do you good, but like I said, I was expecting an actual piece of chicken breast and a wing, or something of the sort. The chicken was alright, and the waffle was great. \n\nThe second time I visited the Grand Lux, I ordered the Caramel Banana-Nut French Toast. Man, I don't know their toast recipe, but boy was it finger lickin' good! The portions, as has been mentioned on here, are HUGE! So huge that I wasn't able to finish either of the breakfast items I ordered, but especially not the French Toast. This is some super large and thick toast, not like your home-made variety. I must say, the toast, with the caramel and the nuts made this by far one of the best meals I had in my five day trip to Las Vegas.\n\nThis was my first time staying at the Palazzo, and thus the first time I ever bothered with the Grand Lux. I've already booked at the Palazzo again for September, and already know what I'll be ordering when I'm back!

Text - First, let me say it makes me sad to write this review. I have been telling everyone for years that this is my favorite restaurant in the world. Which is quite a statement.  Always eat here when in Vegas. This last trip was kinda special for me, as I brought someone who had never been to Vegas before and really wanted to show them the Vegas that a lot of people don't get to see. Having already told them that this was  all time favorite restaurant, I made reservations before I left home. Reservations were for a Tuesday at 7pm.  We arrived early and were seated immediately.  We were sat in the bar area, next to another couple. I was upset, because I was trying to make a good impression and here we are in the noisy bar. I so wanted to get up and complain, but didn't want to look stupid in front of my guest. I ordered the short ribs, which are always amazing. This time they were beyond terrible. The entire bottom layer was pure fat, which gave the rest of meat a grease flavor.  The broth like gravy they come in tasted like vinegar. I could have cried. I just bit my tongue and tried to have a good time, but I was so embarrassed. My guest had the surf and turf and loved the filet, but said the lobster was rubbery.  Couldn't wait to just leave. I spend a lot of money dining out, and a $264.00 meal for two before tip doesn't bother me at all. But my food was so bad, and the table was so bad, I would have been happier in the food court.  I am going back to Vegas in 3 months and I will go back one more time. It is hard to give up on a place that has been your favorite for so long. But I think I am done with the short ribs, they were so gross I have lost my taste for them.

Text - Wow they are lucky you have to click a star in order to write a review! I must say this was the worst experience ever! We usually don't stay dt but thought we would give it a shot. We walk into the hotel and waited forever to check into our room. When we arrived in the room we noticed it was a small room.. (online we booked a suite). Apparently the guy in the front thought he could convince us a regular room was a suite. He told us all the features the room should have, when it didn't.  He avoided to help us when we came back down. Another woman assisted us and when we came into our next room we noticed the door was open and the room was already occupied. We went down a third time hoping \""third times a charm.\"" The woman in the front acted if she had no idea what was going on. I asked for a refrigerator because the attendant said \""there was no ice in the building\"" and she said they were out... let's just say I was happy to book another room elsewhere!

Considreing the above, classify the following: I didn't want to waste away any valuable time for my short weekend trip, so I searched hard for a good brunch place that takes reservation so we didn't have to line up. Luckily for me, I found the the Sparrow! \n\nI had serious dish envy when I saw my friend's Blackstone Benedict ($15)- poached eggs, bacon, wilted greens and tomato on root vegetable latkes, herb hollandaise and tater tots. I was able to steal a few bites and it was quite delicious, albeit slightly under-seasoned.\n\nMy boyfriend went for fried chicken and waffles ($15.5)- fried chicken, buttermilk waffles, sunny eggs, white gravy and honey. No complaints about this one!\n\nSadly for me, I was the most disappointed with my own selection - pulled pork ($14) with homemade biscuit, coleslaw, homemade tater tots, and two sunny eggs. I realized then that I only like BBQ-style pulled pork, and this one just didn't appeal to me. I really should've ordered the red velvet waffles, which sounded divine. \n\nAll in all, despite my own disappointing dish selection, it was quite an enjoyable brunch. I thought the restaurant was very cute and the food, in general, was tasty. Even now, I'm still thinking about the red velvet waffle that I could have tried.
