Text - Had a chance to get back to Java Cat today. Seriously. If you love frozen treats and you haven't been here yet, I am shedding a tear for you. \n\nThe best gelato I've had, hands down. Both in quality, and creativity of flavors. \n\n(as a side note, the man and I split a BLT today as well, which was also yummy in that good-old-classic-sandwich kind of way).

Text - I don't want to write this review because I am selfish and don't want to wait in a long line. Damn, why am I doing this. Arghhhhhh.\n\nOk, it fantastic but...\n\nIts the best Chinese food in Las Vegas for Yunnan style food. If you are from North Dakota and eat Egg rolls and General Chows chicken, you will not like this place. Go to Panda Express. Do not expect beef and broccoli.\n\nIf you have an understanding of very fresh Home made Southern Chinese food and like spicy well made dishes, this is your place. (They do have some non-spicy dishes)\n\nDo expect super fresh, very well made food. (Not much sea food here).\n\nThe have cold appetizers that are great. After you get a table, go up to the cash register. You will see all of them laid out. You can get 3 on a plate. I like the dried beef, cucumber and cabbage.\n\nThey have a fish dish that is simple and does not smell like fish. No bones. Not one. Its so tender. Its the fish filet in brown sauce with garlic. Its not spicy. I think its #58\n\nTheir soups are very good.\n\nI love their beef in spicy szechuan sauce and the wonton in chile sauce. Kung Pao chicken is great!\n\nYou can feed 8 people for under $100. \n\nThe decor is sparse. But the food divine. Do not go here on Christmas (oy vey). \nThis is real Chinese food. Tour buses full of people from China go here. \n\nThe wait staff is very attentive. You can take a cab from the strip. Its not far. Just off Spring Mtn Rd. It is hard to find as its hidden in a strange strip mall. Good for me, I know where it is.\n\nThis is not your typical Chinese food style. Many dishes are spicy but there are some that are not. Give it a try. You will love it.\n\nUPDATE: 4/30/14\nLooks like they raised the prices a little bit.\nJust as good as ever.

Text - Wow! I love this place!!\n\nThis place (esthetically) is like something straight out of a magazine shoot- Heavenly white, modern chic interior, so immaculately clean you could probably eat off the floor...well you get the picture.\n\nI could have spent hours here...Oh wait, I did...lol Yes, I spent some time indulging in some fabulously wonderful drinks and chatted with the exceptionally friendly bartender about all the wonderful things in life such as famous people, boyfriends...ect\n\nMy first drink was one of there signature cocktails called Berry bliss...It was a heavenly, refreshing concoction of blueberry and raspberry liquor along with fresh muttled berries, orange juice topped with two beautiful succulent berries on top. It was perfect for the hot Vegas weather.\n\nI also had a Lemon drop that was made to perfection! Sweet, tart and abundantly flavorful I also tried one of there signature Mojitos which was fab!!\n\nThey also have an outside seating area overlooking the strip that is also is fab!! The drinks are quite pricey at $12 to $14.oo a drink but to me it was worth every extra indulgent dollar and my bartender \""Ice\"" made my visit all the more enjoyable!!\n\nGosh....I already miss Vegas!!!

Text - Today was my first time at this location... The reason I have not been to this location is because they do not carry a full menu. I rather have a sandwich than salad. Therefore, I always go next door to Clover Joes, which has the best subs in town!\n\nTo be honest I don't think ill be back to this location. Why?\n1.  Customer service is awful\nOne o the girls working today could not hide her face expression on how much she was hating her job...\n2.  They don't offer a full menu\n3.  It is a very small location and it did not smell so well in there...\n\nPros:\nI had the small  flank steak  salad and  it was pretty tasty!

Text - Perhaps if I were \""hammered\"" I would have enjoyed this meal better... I was sorely disappointed in this BBQ spot. I ordered take-out on a Sunday, and when I arrived I felt something was off right away. The place was dead... Not one person in the gigantic dining room, only two people working there sitting at a table looking bored. The bar however was pretty lively, maybe I should have just sat down and had a beer instead of getting food. \n\nRibs - all char and fat, barely any meat and extremely overcooked\nPulled pork - lacked flavor and came in a canister of grease\nThe sides, corn (half a cob is considered a side for two??) Cheese grits, worst I have ever tried, dry and flavorless\nCornbread - perhaps if it was used as a dry sponge\nBBQ Sauce - disappointing at best, watered down and we were only given 2 tiny containers (like salsa sides).\nPeach Cobbler - canned peaches poured in to a container with a crumble on top\n\nI really don't like writing scathing reviews, but  there was not one redeeming item in our meal. There are tons of great BBQ joints in Phoenix, this is not one.

Text - So far haven't even been seated yet. We knew it would be a wait and that wasn't much of a problem for us. The kicker on this one is when we arrived to put our name in the hostess (who I am pretty sure is 12) was clearly flustered and irritated, looked at us expectantly and said \""yes?\"" Not hello, how are you, welcome, how many? But \""yes?\"" Strike one. We were told 20-30 minutes.... We have been waiting for 30 and were just told it would be another 20..... Hmmm.... Maybe you should learn to round those numbers up dear. Another young lady has now joined the infantile hostess with an ever worse attitude. We were clearly bothering her by asking how much longer our wait would be. Again, no smile, no welcome, didn't even offer us a glass of water on this steamy Arizona morning.\nHopefully we will be seated soon and hopefully all of the food reviews are not a lie and my morning will be saved.

Text - PANDA was the biggest let-down of all shows I have ever seen in Vegas and believe me, I've seen them all...Even though I was conned into the show by 2 for 1 tickets, don't be fooled-there's a reason they're discounting the show. Not only is it just a horrible show from 14th century China...but the amateur circus acts were so bad that they wouldn't even make the cut for the second round of America's Got Talent. I saw people clap at things my daughter did in her 8th grade recital. It's that lame and its completely inexcusable for the Pallazo to even allow this to hit the stage in their forum. I hold them to a bigger standard. Obviously an attempt to bring in the Asian crowd and for that, mission accomplished...But for a show to be closing soon in just a few months-that's what you should be focusing on. I went because I checked out YELP ahead of time...but these reviews are very generous. If you read them close you will see the key words in each one of what I just said clearly. Things like \n\""nothing new\"" and \""features trained monks\""...wtf does that mean? It's almost the same as features trained monkeys...because that would explain the amateur hour and it would be special if they were monkeys...oh, and they actually do have Chinese people dressed up as monkeys. I'm giving you a heads-up...save your money! Blow it on gambling-at least you will have the satisfaction of knowing where it went. I pissed mine away on the worst show I ever sat through...and my 15 year old son hated it to. He spent the next 24 hours dissecting the faults to me. Loved that the most-that I let my son down...Grand opening/Grand closing. Let dead dogs lie...

Text - Ok, so when compared to the farms I grew up around in Pittsburgh...Gilcrease doesn't exactly wow in terms of selection or size. But we have to be realistic here, people, we're in the middle of the desert. A for effort! \n\nI've only ever been here in the fall. Last year in October my husband and I visited several times after we became addicted to the amazing apples that grow here. I also bought lots of zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and baking pumpkins. Everything tastes so much better than what you find in the grocery store and the prices are better too. \n\nIf you don't want to pick yourself or don't have the time, they have a stand at the entrance with some (but not all) of the fruits and veggies they are growing. We came back this weekend, but thought it was still too hot to walk around the orchard so we opted for what was at the stand instead. \n\nI ended up with 9 giant pears and a couple baby apples that only cost me $4.50 (!). The apple cider is a little expensive ($4 for a half gallon) but is so good. \n\nHere are a few tips: Get in as early as possible because it gets crowded pretty quickly. Park outside the orchard (for free) and walk around and enjoy nature...wear tennis shoes. Why would you go in the summer?? It's scorching out! Go in the fall and have your pick of all the squashes and apples that's in season and bask in the non-triple-digit weather. Most importantly, be realistic. You are in Las Vegas, not northern California. There's not going to be acres and acres of every vegetable you can imagine. There's going to be maybe a dozen different things that can get picked over pretty quickly. Go to Gilcrease more for the experience and make sure to grab some cider!

What is the classification for the passage below?
I understand that pools are first come, first serve, but if there are loads of reserved chairs open, & it's only two of us, & we are willing to pay for it, there should be some accommodation. We asked the pool staff how much to get two chairs, & they said it's $750 for the big table, & starting $250 for four of the chairs. Naturally, I asked if we could buy only two seats, because it's two of us only, but she said it's all four or nothing? So in other words, we pay 750$, 250$ or leave. I would have easily paid up to $150 for two of us to relax by the pool. But we were forced to leave the pool, because there was not a single chair to rent. I'm not complaining cause there are no open chairs, but if a guest is willing to pay then accomodate them. Anyways, my only poor experience at Cosmo. I guess next time we will wake up at the break of dawn & come get a seat, cause otherwise all chairs r gone.
