Case: You can pinch pennies, but you'll lose dollars at this bland consignment boutique. The selection emphasized midrange brands like Talbots, Liz Claiborne, and Ann Taylor, but was pretty unexciting.  Many items appeared to be more than a few seasons old.  Pleated hunter green cords with tapered legs? For $25? Marisa Christina cutesy sweaters circa 1990? Egad! I have seen much more interesting fare at the Jr. League Wearhouse. I also didn't notice, as I do in most consignment stores, a diminishing price scale. Rather, there was a generic %  off sign, but I wasn't sure which merchandise it applied to, and I wasn't excited enough by anything I saw to ask.\n\nIf you are a Chico's fan, there was an entire section of Chico's clothing, but the prices ($50 and up) seemed ridiculously high, given that these are used items, after all. My advice: save your pennies, skip these pinchers, and visit either Sweet Repeats (higher end) or Jr. League Wearhouse (mid-range) for a better consignment shopping experience.

Case: Extremely disappointing.  My wife and I were so excited about experiencing Hubert Keller's food.  And small plates!  Love small plates.  We were that maybe this restaurant would be able to compete with Joel Rubuchon's L'Atelier...?\n\nNo.  Not even in the same league.\n\nWe ask to sit inside as we assumed it would be quieter than the patio area opposite the loud rock band that were murdering some old classics across the walkway.  Instead, we find that the room is dominated by a large crowd of obnoxiously loud guests, clearly much to the chagrin of all the other guests in the restaurant.  The hostess just laughs at the fact that we chose to come inside and it is louder there.\n\nThe wait staff were not much more impressive.  Our waitress was somewhat apathetic.  In between courses, the table did not get cleaned and the drops of sauce and various crumbs just continued to build up.  Our table was not bussed between courses, and it seemed that the staff expected us to eat our fish dishes using our fig jam covered silverware off dirty plates.  When we had complaints about the food (see below), there was no acknowledgement to the problem, let alone an apology.  We also ordered 7 dishes and only ever received 6 of them...\n\nAll of this could have been overlooked had the food been spectacular, but it was not.  I very much doubt that Hubert Keller would put out that kind of food had he himself been there; clearly there were problems with quality control.  \n\nBy dishes:\nThe fig flambee (which is a flatbread - who knew?  Just assumed flambee on a french menu meant that it had been flamed.  Would have been nice if that had been mentioned when we ordered it) was dominated by goat cheese; the fig was battling for attention and the pancetta was essentially non-existant.  \nThe tartar was bland (clearly had not seen a hint of seasoning), even with the addition of the accompanying sauces etc. and the meat appeared somewhat low quality in and of itself.\nThe seared shrimp was OK.  Nice heat, shrimp cooked well. \nThe hamachi was, in my opinion, the best dish of the night: the foam was outstanding and the pickled shiitake were sumptuous.\nThe salt wings were fantastic, but I can get a whole bunch of those for the same price at our local Thai restaurant.\nThen came the risotto: as soon as it arrived on the table I wanted to hold the plate upside down over my head as it was clearly way too stiff.  Tried it anyway, and it tasted like bland mush with leaves added.  Underseasoned, no creaminess at all, and just horribly overcooked.  Had to send the dish back.  Thankfully they took it off the tab.\n\nAll in all, I wouldn't bother going back unless I heard that the quality control problems had been addressed.  When you are paying $70 a head you deserve better, and there is much better out there on the strip.\n\n\nP.S.  Just checked out the rating graph on Fleur - was getting great reviews until the beginning of September, at which time the ratings have plummeted.  Coincidence?  I think not.  What has changed, Hubert?  New head chef, new staff?  Something must have happened - fix it and maybe people will give it a second chance!

Case: When a glass of wine and beets can make my day. The food is unbelievably good for such a casual place. The French dip was absolutely amazing and you must order the cous cous as your side . We love this place and always go here for lunch when in the area

Its really too bad this place was a let down.  First: checking in was a nightmare! Line was around the building and it took hours to get checked in. Plus be warned that the people in the black jackets do not work there! They are timeshare husseling chizlers looking to trap you into a high pressure sales pitch 20 minutes away from the strip with the lure of a free show. Dont get sucked into that! Better to pay for the shows you want to see rather than spend one of your precious vacation days with sales sharks.  When we finally got to our room it was nothing special.  They charged us $18 per night for internet and didnt even offer WiFi! Since we both brought our kindles we couldn't even use it but of course they still made us pay for the short wire hanging on the wall. WTF! Hello Luxor!! Even every roadside motel has WiFi now!  So on to the pool.  What a huge dissapointment! They have 3 pools: one for the kids, one for the adults and one that you have to pay to swim in.  All three of them were dirty and only go to 3 feet deep. and since no one wanted to pay to swim in the other pool it was completely empty and the other one was standing room only. I've swam in pools at second rate motels that were far much nicer and cleaner.  To top the whole thing off the 2 free buffets that I was promised they ended up charging me for and it was not even  that good. I would have never spent $50 to eat there!  So if you are going to Vegas dont stay at the Luxor, go there and take pictures of the pyramid, the sphinx, and such but STAY somewhere else!
