Problem: I haven't gone to a Maggiano's in a long time, first time in the Vegas location too. I made a reservation on the phone for 6:30pm, we got there by 6pm so I asked them if we could be seated. They were still pretty empty at that time except at the bar where they had happy hour so they sat us in a nice booth seat. Our waitress wasn't particularly friendly but she did provide good service overall. She didn't go over the specials either but no problem since I can read it myself. Ordered the half order spinach salad (I always forget to ask them to leave the dressing on the side. Did it again this time too and they put way too much). I remember it tasting a little better but it's probably because there was too much dressing. I do love my grilled veggies and bacon in it though. Also ordered the calamari. It was okay but I wish the marinara was spicy because it tasted kind of plain. The warm bread with the olive oil and balsamic was yummy. I only ordered two pastas for three people (waitress said all their dishes are now "half order" sized). Thank goodness I did too because the portions were still pretty big, plus I was already more than half-full from the appetizers and bread. Got the pesto chicken linguine and the seafood linguine. The pesto chicken linguine had a ton of pesto, a little too much but when I reheated it the next day, it was so good. The seafood linguine had a good amount of seafood and the tomato sauce kept it from getting heavy. We took back over 2/3 of each of the pasta dishes because we were too full by then, even for dessert. Although the waitress wasn't talkative with us, she refilled our water, checked up on us, and gave me two little rolls of ciabatta breads when I asked her to box the few pieces left to go along with our pastas. Good service and she was well rewarded with a nice tip.

Problem: Excellent desserts, gr8 food and not bad service. Love the chicken Romano, jambalaya, lettuce raps, stuffed mushrooms and menu variety. Red velvet and strawberry cheesecakes are the bomb. Service left a little to be desired as seating was cramped and waiter showed irritation w/requests. Good Sunday brunch and nice bar menu.

Problem: What can I say, I'm a baller... I LOVE Mastro's. They do it right. Top quality service, top quality drinks, top quality food. For the first time I had the oysters here, and they were ... AWESOME. We walked in, no-reservation, found a table in the bar area, watched the Lakers lose to OKC (yes!) and had another swank experience. The huge wooden design thing-thing dining area that opens up/sits over the mall provides for a great atmosphere also.. (ref pic) The place is all that.

Problem: Don't you just love how convenient a convenient store can be? Yeah me too! Well I've walked in here after work for chapstick, gum, and emergency stockings before work one day. But you know all these places are the same as far as what they carry and blah blah blah. This is a new CVS and its clean, well lit, organized and everything is clearly marked. The staff is friendly and quick to get you through the line. That is all.
