As my nickname here in Yelp is "The Transcendental Bookworm", you would be right in assuming that I have a love for literature and books. As this library is right up my alley, I love coming here to both browse and read, and while it isn't a good as UNLV's Lied Library back when I was a student, it's still a very solid and nice library.

For starters, the actual "library" is just part of the facility itself. There is a used bookstore, meeting halls and they occasionally have (albeit small" art exhibits. The place is very large for a Clark County library.

They have not just a wide selection of books, but also of other multimedia like music and film. Way back when, the only kinds of movies you could find would either be very old classics or documentaries, now you can find anything from blockbuster films to pro wrestling DVDs (yes, you read that right).

When I first started coming here in middle school, they had a physical circulation desk. Now, everything is automated. This can be a good or bad thing based on your personal preferences, but it's a good display of evolving the library. There are quite a few study rooms for when you are cramming for exams, and there are several good reading areas that are relatively secluded from the high traffic walkways. This is where I usually go when I want to do some reading outside of my house, and there are few things more relaxing than going here and plunging into a good book with some jazz on my iPod.

Unfortunately, due to the recession and cuts to public institutions, the library has severely cut their hours. It used to be open until 9 Monday through Thursday, now it's until 6. By comparison, UNLV's Lied Library is open until midnight Mon-Thurs, so I am a bit spoiled by it back when I was a student. Secondly, the Wi-Fi in the library moves like Rush Hour traffic on the 95. If you're coming here to do work on a laptop, be patient, or find a Starbucks to work at.

The West Sahara Library is one of the better Clark County Libraries, and it's a great place to not just check out material but to just read inside.

PROS:
Large, contains more than just a library
Automated checkout and book returns
Cozy reading areas
Very little annoying cell phone use

CONS:
Very slow Wi-Fi
Cut business hours

THE VERDICT: Great library, will consistently use it.
answer:
4 stars

question:
Well, damn.

Until tonight, all of our experiences at Red Robin had been positive. Even at this location, our past meals had been enjoyable.

Tonight, though...tonight left a sour taste in my mouth. That's not to say that the food was bad...it was actually pretty good. But the service was atrocious.

We thought it was our lucky day when we walked right in on a Saturday night and sat right down at 7:00. We ordered our appetizer and drinks. The waiter, Cameron, came back and took our order a few moments later.

Our appetizer came out in record time! We had hardly taken a few bites of our hummus plate, and then our food came out! Like I said...the food was good.

So, where was the horrible service? The food was there fast, hot, and it was good. What could have bothered me so much?

Well, I don't think the waiter said more than a dozen words to us. It seemed like he was late for something very important, and we were his last obstacle to overcome before he was able to free himself from the self-imposed bonds of servitude to Red Robin.

Customarily, the waiter comes around after the food arrives and asks how things tasted. This guy didn't show up until our food was gone, our drinks were gone, and we were ready for the check and couple of to-go boxes.

He begrudgingly gave me a refill on my drink before he dropped off the check. Now, granted, we don't ever get desert in a restaurant...but this guy didn't even give us the satisfaction of turning down his delicious sounding proposal.

The whole process felt like we were imposing on this kid. We were in and out of the restaurant in less than 30 minutes. This guy robbed us of the entire restaurant experience.

If you can't enjoy the experience, then why go?

It will definitely be a while (if ever) before I visit this location again. But I can promise that I'll avoid this kid like the plague if he's still "working against his will" at this location.

question:
i would give this place 3.5 stars. we had reservations here for sat night at 745 and weren't seated for about 15-20 minutes. it was graduation wknd, so there were a ton of people. when we were finally seated, we could only get seats at the bar, which was super loud.

the menu here is not big. we started w/ the patatas and the bulgogi summer roll. i thought it was weird that they had korean items on the menu, b/c there was also a korean hot pot dish that looked a bit like bibimbap. the patatas were really good and smokey.

for my entree, i had the snapper w/ shitake mushrooms, edamame, and celery. it was really light and asiany. my brother's filet was huge, and my mom said her salmon was good. my dad had the ratatouille w/ couscous, which was the smallest dish. all the other portions were pretty hefty.

for dessert, we got the tres leches cake, which was good, but i wished it was more drenched in milk.

service here is pretty fast considering it is packed and loud. there were a ton of drinks on the menu and a bunch of beers on tap.
