Q: Sooo glad to see these fine dogs land in my Ballantyne neighborhood. JJ's just opened in Ballantyne Commons and since I received a coupon for a free dog from their facebook page, I stopped in for the first time after work last week. Of course I was not disappointed. Chose my favorite, the Char Heel combo. The server taking my order suggested the homemade lemonade and boy was he spot on! It was delicious without being overly sweet or too tart. I decided to eat at the small bar area since it was early in the dinner hour. Friendly service at the bar as well and my ticket was immediately transferred there from the front. Washed the dog down with a Natty Greene's IPA. Lots of local brews on tap and a great selection of bottled beers too. Sit at the bar and watch some TV, or bring the fam for a quick meal. Can't wait to try the Chicago dog for the next hole punch in my JJ's card. Pickle and sauce bar too for those needing extra flavor for their meal.

Q: 3 words. Shabby, Shabby, Shabby. We upgraded to a Tower Room for an extra charge after being given the impression the rooms were newly renovated. NOT! The comforters looked like a cat had scratched it's claws all over them. The blanket on our bed had dried white crusty stuff on it (use your imagination as to what this could be!). The pillow cases were stained. The table and chairs had chunks notched in them. AND no safe! Where is one to store their valuables? Non of the rooms in the ENTIRE hotel have safes. I hope you don't mind not having air conditioning, because it was practically non existent! Check in took forever! And beware of the time share people! They attacked us before we even got to the check in line. This hotel also doesn't have a strip view, we asked for one and we put in the West tower and had a view of the parking lot. We complained and were moved to the East tower which had a view of Excalibur, while not super exciting it was much better than the parking lot, and there was no crusty blanket! The info book in the room said the pool was open till 8pm. We dressed and went down about quarter to 5 and the pool was closing, it closes at 5. Not sure when they will bother to update the info book! We stayed here because they have pretty good deals. Well alas I must admit YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Never again with we stay at the Luxor! We will stay at SignatureMGM next time.

Q: I am only giving this place four stars because it is open ALL NIGHT!! When it is 3:00 in the morning and you are starving you will find Nosh tucked away in a corner at Ballys. They serve all kinds of sandwiches. I was starving and opted for a tuna hero. The tuna tasted like homemade and the hero was huge and weighed a ton. For about $12 it was a giant hero. Hit the spot and wasn't crowded either. Late night munchies spot!!!

Q: This place is horrible. The only time this place might be satisfying is if I were completely stoned. The sushi was worse than the stuff you buy from the grocery store. The orange chicken was watery. The teriyaki was dry. There is nothing that would ever get me to come back to this place.
