Case: What can I say... This place is fabulous! From the moment we arrived we felt like they actually wanted us there!  The food was great, the service was by far THE BEST we have had in a very long time and the atmosphere is stunning. \n\nThe management and staff are fantastic and if you haven't been here you should definitely go. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Geisha House for finally getting it right and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Case: What a great restaurant. This is definitely a 'local' gem and if you want to get some high quality Italian at a reasonable price while in LV definitely check out this place. Normally I don't rave about Italian places but this place is worth it. Good service, quality food, and nice atmosphere. Go here for a romantic dinner that won't empty your wallet.

Case: Overall I just wasn't impressed. Our waitress didn't seem to know the menu and it took her forever to get anything done. My main dish was decent but I have no plans to return.

Case: First I'll say that there are two stars because my nail technician was a very sweet lady overall: it actually pains me to have to leave a poor review about her work. However ,now that it's been 24 hours since my appointment ended, I have to say that I'm very disappointed in my mani/pedi. \n\nI attempted to call the salon the day prior to confirm my appointment but the phone number here on Yelp as well as on Groupon were both generic outgoing messages. I had no idea if I was reaching the right place...\n\nThe facility itself is a little difficult to find but when I arrived, it was clean and tidy. The only person there was my nail technician (I never did get her name) and she was doing her hair while I waited. \n\nThe pedicure area was nice enough, and relaxing overall. I enjoyed the ambient music and small waterfall feature. The technician seemed a bit rushed and scatterbrained and had to keep leaving to check phone messages (again, she was the only person in the facility). I felt like she was rushing and several times it was actually painful as she worked on my toenails. I asked her not to cut them, just to file. Alas, she cut anyway and today I'm feeling the results...just 5 days before I depart for a vacation in which I'll be doing a lot of walking.  Not happy. \n\nAs previous reviews have indicated, the selection of polish was disappointing at best. Based on those reviews, I considered bringing in my own, but that defeats the purpose of paying someone else to do the work. I settled for a glitter because that was the only one remotely in my preference from the choices available. I'll return to this glitter choice a bit later. \n\nAfter the pedicure we moved back into the main area of the salon so she could do my manicure. It was still a ghost town. No one else was there at all, this was a Saturday I was shocked. Once again, she was having to answer the phone when it rang. I don't begrudge her this but it made me feel like I wasn't important and as though her multi tasking affected her work. \n\nShe definitely rushed through the manicure. I was bleeding at my cuticles. Today they are tender and look chewed up. This is the first time I've ever had a manicure where my nails actually look worse than when I started. Oh and the glitter: I realize there is a certain element of work involved to be able to have a glitter polish look sparkly: but she didn't even attempt to make my nails look nice. The glitter is sporadically placed and the gel itself is unevenly applied. Also, she did not shape my nails in any sense. My nails are short but they still could have been filed better. \n\nI won't return to this facility nor would I recommend it to anyone else. Groupon deal be damned, not worth it.

Case: I was looking forward to a tuna melt at the Cafe in Harrah's the night I arrived, unfortunately, the 24 hour cafe was closed on Thursdays for several hours in the evenings.\n\nSo, right next door was Ming's Table!  Perhaps the cafe being closed in the evening hours is a ploy to drive more business to the casino's other restaurants?  Anyway, I was hungry and didn't want to pay for room service, so in I went.\n\nI was seated immediately.  Seating is ample and there is a nice little seating area fenced in out front where you can watch the human element as they trek by.  If you like to people watch, ask for a seat there.  Personally, I had my kindle in hand and just wanted a quiet table tucked away in the back where I could eat and read in peace.\n\nSadly, the best part of the meal was the hot tea.  It was a green tea, light and fragrant and they bring out the entire pot so you can refill your mug at your own convenience.  \n\nI ordered a sushi roll, the Dragon roll.  It came out almost immediately which concerned me somewhat as there is tempura shrimp in it which should normally require cooking before assembly if the roll was made fresh!  Well, it wasn't fresh, it was pre-cooked and perhaps just assembled to order.  At least the spicy tuna molded on top of the roll was tasty.\n\nI got the Pepper Steak for dinner.  Unfortunately, while the portion was huge (served on a family serving style platter), it was terribly bland.  The sauce had no heat or spiciness whatsoever and was overpowered by the amount of fragrant ginger used in it.  The meat wasn't carmelized at all, it looked like it had been boiled and dropped into the weak sauce.  The peppers were poorly cut... big ole chunks, including from the bottom of the bell pepper... who wants to eat that??  I'm experienced with a pair of chopsticks, but I had to work overtime to get these things from plate to mouth without firing them off in all directions.  In the end, I only ate about a quarter of the dish, and while I had a fridge in my suite, I didn't bother asking for the rest to go.\n\nOverall, it was an experience, but once was enough for me.

Case: This review is 4-1/2 stars.  Our server, Justin is AWESOME!!!!!  He made the visit a blast and a fellow server that chimed in here and there.  =)  Even the food runner had fun conversations with us.\n\nI was on the my way home, then I get a text.  HH?  On a Friday night, after being locked in a room for 9 hours to work a project.  HELL to the yes (borrowing from Glee).  I walked in and found L & M all happy from HH specials.  The table was 3/4 full of food and drinks.  I had to join in on ordering food....\n\nCATFISH BEIGNETS:  My favies!  Fried light and spices just right.\n\nCAST-IRON SKILLET DUMPLINGS:  chcken and shrimp filled, the skillet get the dumpling skin to have that pan fried crispiness.  \n\nFLAT TOP GRILLED QUESADILLA:  Quesadilla - Nothing special\n\nCHILE PORK TOSTADAS:  These are yummy.  Each clumpy of yummy pork on their crispy tostadas. \n\nBLACKENED CATFISH TACOS:  It was more a roll than a taco.  It was ok.  \n\nNACHOS with Cheesy Something - ?  YUMMY!  Nachos and yummy melted cheese dip.

Considreing the above, classify the following: After reading all the positive reviews I had positive expectations that were disappointingly not met.\n\nThe service was atrocious.  I had ordered the rib eye medium.  After forgetting my order, the restaurant proceeded to serve my steak rare.  When they tried to remediate this error, they proceeded to pan fry my rare steak which gave it a medium interior with a well done exterior.  The service ceased at this point with the waitress and she did not even approach the table  for the duration of the evening.
