Case: If you find yourself in Vegas looking for that special \""baller meal\"", but you don't want to do another steak house or french restaurant, Bartolotta comes with my highest recommendation. I would tell you to order a few pastas to share, a couple pieces of grilled appetizers per diner, and you will be stuffed and happy for about $80-100 per person. Trust me because ever since I left Vegas two days ago, I think about the pastas that I ate here every few hours.  \n\nThe transcendent pasta dish that I loved was a mixed seafood lasganette. Haphazardly torn rags of wide, homemade pasta, mixed with little pieces of perfectly cooked lobster, crab and shrimp in a light velvety sauce. One regular sized order was $28 and enough for each diner to have a few heavenly bites.  Also delicious was their hand made spaghetti cooked with salty bits of ground meat. I liked that there wasn't much sauce in the dish so that the focus was just on the spaghetti and meat. We doubled the size of this one and it came out to a reasonable $34 for a large bowl. \n\nMy one regret of the meal was that I didn't order a more \""exotic\"" fish. I picked the john dory because it came with a high recommendation from the server, but, when the fish came out, I thought there was way too much meat for each of our 4 diners, which was reflected in the $195 price tag just for the fish. Not that it wasn't delicious - it was! But dory tastes much like halibut and I should have picked something else (the Orata is next on my list).  It was perfectly cooked in a sauce of tomatoes, capers, and olives and served with roasted fingerling potatoes. \n\nWe left crazy stuffed and happy for $80 per person including tax and tip! Though only I ordered a $20 glass of very good wine that was generously poured. I made my reservation 5 days in advance and was not able to get a cabana - hope to next time!

Case: This stop to Hash House was on St. Pattys day. They had a few added things to menu for the occasion. And like usual I was not disappointed. The one tip I tell everyone about coming here. SHARE they give you huge portions and if you are both cool with a menu item split it. They had a back up in the kitchen from being very busy. And the waitress was nice enough to bring us some complimentary biscuits while we waited. Since we do not have a these guys in Utah. I will usually go out of my way to eat here. I will be back for sure!

Case: I took a coworker to lunch, it was my turn to pay and when I saw the Daily Egg...I thought, yup...why not give my business to a small business?\nThe answer... Because they know not what they do!\nBoth breakfasts were awkward to say the least. Dry toast requested by both of us was of course slathered with some form of icky butter flavor.\nThe coffee were horrible and should anyone wait a true 8 minutes for the waiter to get you creamer after 3 requests?\nOur breakfasts were not terrible but they weren't enough to overcome the other irritations of this dive.\nSeek breakfast elsewhere!

Case: Oh how sad. \nMy family wanted to use our restaurant.com certificate and we're excited to try McFadden's. The menu sounded delish! We ordered a yummy beer, an appetizer,  soup and dinner. We took the suggestions our waitress gave us and ordered the rock shrimp and fish and chips and potato soup. \nIt ALL came out at the same time. Whatever, ee are flexible. We laughed at the rock shrimp which was smaller and actually worse than the popcorn shrimp at your local long John silvers. Really sad and incredibly dissapointing. The fish and chips were sub par. Nothing to get excited about at all. \nOur bill was not enough to use our coupon so we ordered the caprese salad with heirloom tomatoes togo. It was three slices of normal tomatoes with three slices of cheese. If I were paying full price I would have been extremely angry. \nNeedless to say, the only thing we enjoyed about this place was the laugh we got from the lies on the menu.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Some new friends invited me here one evening and I really had a good time: loud but good music, big crowded dance floor, good mix of guys and women (though much too young for me) and plenty of cushy seats and staff serving drinks (at least in the VIP area). Lots of bouncers around inside but not sure why as all the customers seem to be drinking and having a good time with no sign of belligerent drunks. Not the place to go if you are on a budget but otherwise I would recommend it for a good time.
