Q: When a place is so popular they don't need to give a shit about customers to get business.. they still should. That's just business ethics. I'll spare you the details of my experience. suffice to say, very rude. OPTIONS:

Q: They've changed hands again. I'd been going there fairly regularly for something like 20 years. The guy who started it (Harvey, I presume) ran it for around 40 years, until he died. His daughter ran it for another five years (about) but decided running a dive bar wasn't what she wanted to do with her life and put it up for sale. It was bought by a Vietnamese couple who upgraded the interior. They added a bunch of big flat screen TVs, started taking credit cards. The place used to be cash only, although they did put in an ATM a couple years back. Harvey's signature was the wineburger, hand formed from quality beef. Always excellent, But the new owners switched out for preformed patties of cheaper meat. That was a spoiler for me. And apparently not only me. The last time I went there under those owners I was the only one there. I wonder why they couldn't figure out where their crowd had gone. I ordered a hot dog. But apparently those owners dumped the place as a loser (said the bartender). I went there last week. Whomever bought it brought back the first class meat (98%) with fresh, hand made patties. It's back on my recommended list. What other people say about the ambiance is true. It =is= a dive bar. I mean that in the best sense. Cheap drinks, a friendly crowd (many of whom seem to be regulars; they know each other). This review-o-matic only offers me a choice of 1 or 2 for ratings. Dunno why, But for what it is, and what it's trying to be I'd give it 4 stars. OPTIONS:

Q: Ehhh.....well I didn't stay here, in fact I was only here about 45 minutes, but I still feel compelled to write a review. On a recent trip to Vegas, my friends and I decided to take a trip to the Stratosphere and go on the rides. It's $15 just to go to the top of the tower. $15!!! And on top of that, you still have to pay for the rides. Needless to say, I wasn't paying that much. While I waited for some of my friends to go on the ride, I wandered around the hotel. The stratosphere is definitely showing it's age, the carpets are worn, the decor is dated, it just looked kind of dirty. I played a couple slot machines trying to score free drinks, and bought a sweet fanny pack in the gift shop, but the whole hotel was just kind of dead. I would definitely not stay here OPTIONS:
