Case: How perfect is it that my 300th review...is totally worth all 5 stars?!?!? \n\nO.M.G. What is there not to love about Paper Skyscraper?!? I knew once it was Amy C approved I had to get there and she was so right!!! \n\nThis store is awesome. I giggled my way through the store and realized almost an hour later just how grateful I am that my friends have the same inappropriate and hilarious humor as I do...birthday cards, gift bags, napkins, jewelry, trinkets, magnets...one of my personal favorites BACON bandaids....hahaha\n\nI could go on and on...it's all here... I went for one a birthday card and gift for my friend and left with with so much more!\n\nMy only regret is not finding this store sooner. Seriously, GO! You will understand the greatness as soon as you walk in the door!

Case: Color me impressed.\n\nGiven the quality of sushi restaurants in the greater Valley area, I was worried about conveyor belt sushi here. I mean, if they can't make it right in the kitchen, how is it gonna be on a roving belt?\n\nMy worries were for naught.  Despite the 30 minute wait on a Tuesday night at 7:45pm (yes, it was that crowded), and having trouble finding it (there is no sign from the street -- you HAVE to know where it is), it was all worth it.\n\nMy companions (all fish eaters but me) LOVED it. They said the fish was fresh, delicious, exciting etc. I loved the seaweed salad and edamame to start, and then went for two dishes of Inari, a place of veggie rolls, and then wound up ordering 3 orders (so a total of 12 individual) avocado rolls, because none were coming around.  All that, plus iced tea, cost me $16.  AMAZING.\n\nMy partner ate all sorts of rolls; her favorite was the I Love Salmon Roll and also the Caterpillar Roll, although she enjoyed the Rainbow Roll and Dragon Rolls as well.  Wasn't impressed with the Las Vegas Roll, and wished that they had more exciting, different, unique rolls (they had one; the Haru Sushi, which she did enjoy).  Her total, with iced tea? $18. Seriously. Oh, and we shared a place of cream puffs for dessert.\n\nThere were no plates more than $2. The cheesecake had two $2 plates, making it 4, but other than that, nothing, including special orders, was more than $2.  The avocado rolls I had were some of the best I've enjoyed (they were bursting full of avocado, instead of one small piece), and the Inari was delicious. Ginger on the table (as well as unagi sauce and soy sauce), quick to fill up iced tea. I was in heaven.\n\nI do wish they'd have more vegetarian rolls so I didn't have to order them. The whole time we were there, only one veggie roll went by - the one I ate.  No cucumber, avocado, daikon, etc unless you ordered them. I also wish Wasabi was on the table, instead of brought to you in a hunk; I didn't want to use it all at once, but I had to take it out of my dish to save for later and put...where?\n\nAlso, I loved the \""other\"" options, like juice, V8, Ramun (Japanese soda), pudding cups, fruit, cheesecake and more on the belt. Gave lots of options.  It did take forever to get our bill, but all that aside, we will most definitely be back.

Case: My friends and I read the yelp reviews so we were so eager to try it.  We went last night with hungry stomachs and boy, were we disappointing or what? I don't know if we went in on a bad day or what happened. Most of their nigiri were unbelievable bad. Tuna, salmon, super white tuna, sweet shrimp and uni. None of them I would eat another piece. I refused to eat the uni because the color was brownish looking, very scary. I mentioned to the waiter and explained it to her the reason I did not eat it. Another waiter came and explained to me the head chef has told him that's how the uni looking like recently. He can show me the entire piece to prove they weren't giving me the old ones. I appreciated they took time and explained. However, I would still not eat it since it looked really awful. \nHowever their rolls and cooked stuff are not so bad. The only thing I would eat from the place is hamachi kama( the yellowtail collar) , that was pretty good and most of the ayce places don't include that. \nThe service was not bad considered we had 11 people and that's the reason I gave two stars. If it weren't for the service, I would have given one star. Won't be returning anytime soon. For Korean owed ayce, I would rather go to Kaya.

Case: Like all the food on Vegas' strip, OVER PRICED.  I don't think it was worth paying $16.00 for a bowl of beef noodle soup.  If this was the best beef noodle soup I ever had,then maybe I am more willing to pay for it. \n\nThe noodle came in a large ceramic bowl that is loaded with noodles and beef, but too little soup.  The ratio of soup to noodle is out of balanced.  Only 1/3 of the bowl was filled with soup and the rest noodles.  For some people who like to eat a lot, maybe those extra noodles would help, but to me, it's gorse.  To make the matter worse, the noodles are soggy, not tender and chewy at all.   Blah, will not come here again.

Case: Way overrated!! The food is overpriced for the quality. Very limited menu and they were out of the two menu items I wanted. They charge $4.00 per bottle of \"" filtered\"" water. It's very noisy in dining area and cramped, you almost have to shout to be heard at your table. The service was very good though. Oh yea, it was mothers day and the only mother at the table didn't get her drink order. Won't go back.

Case: Our group of 35 got in line at about midnight or so. The line was very long but we didn't have too much trouble on the wait and getting in. We waited no longer than 30mins and the cover for the guys were $30; our group of girls got in free.\n\nThe place is nice and spacious, a lot of tables and booths, and several bars. There were a lot of people inside the nightclub dancing and drinking. Some areas of poles where there are girls dancing as well. If you walk outside, there is a huge area that has the pools and a gambling area.\n\nThere was one particular bouncer who was being a complete a**. He kept pushing us into the middle of the dance floor because we were in the aisle; we weren't even blocking the walkway because we were sitting on the little wall.\n\nMusic overall was good, not that great.

Case: Finally catching up on my work email here at The Venetian...5pm...After spending a sunny & hot afternoon schmoozing with colleagues in the pool garden, I decided to make a pit-stop at The Coffee Bean to grab a Chai Latte Light before heading back to my luxury suite (which, I swear, looks like a mini papal enclave).\n\nMy experience with the Coffee Bean in LA has always been pretty decent...it's basically Starbucks without the \""star,\"" but cost the same \""bucks.\"" Anyway, this barista who was working the counter here at the Venetian's Coffee Bean screwed up my Chai Latte Light order twice...the taste was fairly pedestrian...and the store looks like it was hit by one of the Venetian's gondolas that ran aground. \n\nI should have known better and went to Bouchon Bakery for my afternoon jolt. Oh well, there is always tomorrow morning.\n\nI had to get this review off my chest. More Sin City reviews (of more illustrious places) after I'm back home to the glimmering verticality of NYC...and I've got plenty to say...

Case: They have closed this location.  To bad because I'll miss it.  The parking was terrible but I dealt with it since I hate drive throughs.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Great neighborhood bar.  Lower end liquor selection but the juke box is awesome.  Loud music and cold beer make it good...add bartenders in lingerie and you get to great!
