text: We just returned from LDW nnI do not hand out one stars easily and I certainly do not like doing it unless a place has some serious work to do nnOur server was really nice but a bit flakey On more than one occasion she wandered over to our table with the either another tables items or the wrong thing for us She may have just been having an off night This is not about the service or the cute decor This is about the foodnnI have travelled around the world and eaten in some pretty sketchy places I have only experience food poisoning a few times in my life nnOne was in a horrible hotel in Barranquilla Colombia I was sick for weeks and lost lbs Several people in our group had to be hospitalized Luckily I was not one of them nnTwo other times were at home and the final bout with food poisoning came at the hands of nasty shrimp during my recent experience at the Lobby Bar CafennThis is absolutely inexcusable at a fine resort such as Encore Especially in this day and age and when you are paying through the nose to stay somewhere I realize st happens any time any where but that does not make it acceptablennWe had not seen our friends all day as we chilled at the Euro pool on Sunday while they went to see Kaskade spin We met up for a quick predinner drink before getting ready for my birthday dinner at MastrosnnEveryone sat down and ordered drinks I was the only one eating and I ordered the potato with bacon ham and cheese panini and the spicy shrimp We did not stay long maybe mins or an hour total I only had one drink that was still half full when we left to get ready for dinner nnAs soon as I stood up the vertigo and dizziness started I thought goodness I have not even finished my drink how can I already feel drunk The walls felt like they were closing in on me as we stepped into the elevator nnI barely made it up to the room and I needed to lay down I knew something was not right I felt hot and like a migraine was coming on All I wanted to do was close my eyes and have the weird feeling coming over me go away nnIt was not mins later that I flew out of the bed like a bat outta hell and had to bow down before the porcelain throne After tossing cookies several times I crawled back to bed and curled into fetal position That is where I remained the rest of the evening I could not move because the dizziness headache and lethargy were so intense I told my husband there was no way I could rally and that dinner needed to be cancelled Talk about disappointingnnMy birthday dinner was completely ruined and an entire evening of our Vegas Vaca was lost into the Abyss that was food poisoning This may not seem like much to you and yes luckily I did recover the next day enough to enjoy the rest of our stay but when you are only in town for the weekend one night lost is too manynnI will say that after my friends complained to the management they did send up a security official to check on me I declined medical attention mostly because I did not want to move from my bed I did not even get up when he came in the room I know this is all part of the Encores risk management but I still appreciated the effort despite the occasion It is the level of service you would expect at star hotelnnAnyway all I can say is I hope you never ever have to experience what I went through here Now I have been put off eating one of my favorite items and I certainly will NEVER EVER eat at this restaurant again
