A: The one downside to our Vegas trip....Hooters Casino/Hotel/shithole. Okay, I admittedly like Hooters, and given the pricing and the fact that everyone coming from out of town for our best friends wedding was staying here we thought, why not? oh boy, where do I start....the restaurant. We met everyone here the first night we got in. I have eaten at Hooters before and have ALWAYS had good service, maybe I'm spoiled. The girls always smile, sit, etc....forget it here. The service sucks big time...she seemed bothered by us, which made us all want to agitate her more. I must have asked for our drinks three times before i went up and got them myself (she was too busy chatting with another lame waitress and therefore to busy to actually wait on people) LAMMMMMMEEEE Food arrived and it was so-so, nothing like what we have eaten at the Dublin Hooters. Rooms: shitty, period. The bathrooms sucked and were so old and outdated, it was comical. didnt smell like smoke, which was the only plus. I am never staying here again, even if it was offered for free LOL

Q: positive

A: I know the cakes are raking in the profit, but I don't really care. I could make a cake myself and it could be deformed, or I could go to Patisserie Jacob and buy a really nice cake that I'll enjoy. The cakes in here aren't that expensive considering they are all home made to perfection. From delicious pain au chocolait to chocolate cake with a slice of strawberry on top, Patisserie Jacob have a small but perfect selection of cakey delicacies. They do some nice tarts for under two pounds as well. I was a bit ravenous and stoated in here the other day without thinking about what was displayed in the window. I was disappointed they didn't have any hot food or savouries but then, it is a cake shop. I almost decided to get a chocolate cake for lunch and dessert but opted to save a slice for the latter. It was lovely, as was the woman who served me (who was apologetic despite the fact I made the mistake of thinking they served baguettes). Their kitchen is an astonishing size and gives the shop an industrious feel. Not surprising, considering the amount that goes on in there. This small but intimate business make a lot of big cakes for corporate and personal events, which is worth bearing in mind if you're looking for something different for a special occasion. But for the fact it brings the traditional Patisserie feel to Edinburgh, I like it.

Q: positive

A: Really nice rooms. Expensive, and the casino doesn't appear as classy as the Wynn casino.

Q: positive

A:
The north outlets are a little nicer than the south location, though they do have pretty much the same stores.
