A: After a 5-6 month long sabbatical I have returned to Yelp, and this time I'm back with burning rage for Hooters Casino & Hotel. Boy oh Boy where do I even begin... As this was the first time to Vegas for my friend and I, I did a tremendous amount of research on the lodging options. After heavy consideration we settled on Hooters, because of the ultra cheap price... I will admit that the reviews I read on the place had me worried, but honestly how much time do you spend in the hotel? Having that been said let's get down to business... Before I slam these people let me discuss the positives. For starters the 1.50$ Bud/Bud light 24/7 was a great deal (honestly that is what sealed the deal on whether or not we stayed there). The rates really are dirt cheap, you'll be hard pressed to find anywhere that close to that strip any cheaper. 25 cent wings from 12am-6am. Who can say no to that? Sign up for the Hooters reward card, and you get 200$ in free slot play (promotional only slot area, at 10$ per spin), free steak dinner at Mad Onion (with purchase of 1.50$ beverage per person, and with 1.50$ charge for any add-ons IE. salad, toppings for your potato, onions and mushrooms (which were awful)) I think that about sums it up for the positives at this place.... Negatives. The Bathroom was kinda nasty.. The tile, and fixtures were old and grimey. The AC did little to nothing in our room... No AC in the hallways, stupid hot walking to/from the room. Excruciatingly long check in/ check out times. I noticed the painting on the elevator door was peeling off, and they were just like "fuck it... let's not fix it" The painting in our room was peeled off the canvas... Noticing a reoccurring theme here. I'm not one to harp on the attractiveness of staff, but the Hooters girls were less than stellar in the department. I go to Hooters for the wings anyways, but for others that may/may not be a big deal. In all fairness I will say there was a noticeable difference in service between daytime and late hours at this place. I've noticed something in common with most reviews on this place, people are mentioning the fact that the waitresses/staff are very rude to patrons. Very true! Two stories to share about this one. 1. About 5:40am my friend and I walk into the Mad Onion looking to sign up for the VIP card (so we can get the 25 cent wings) nobody was in line, and the restaurant has less than 10 people inside. The hostess "Crystal" Ignored us for a good 3-4 minutes as she did whatever it was that she was doing behind the counter. Not a single glance... Nothing. When she finally graced us with her presence, she informed us that the person responsible for registering people for the VIP card was on break, and would be back in about 10-15min (25 cent wings end at 6am) and we should just hang around and keep checking back for this person.... Come to find out from a bartender NOT the hostess, the VIP person already left for the night. Sorry no 25 cent wings for you. 2. Mad Onion (again) around 3:30am. Crystal seemed to be in a better mood this time around.... While waiting in line to get a seat (we decided to secure a VIP card for the cheap wings earlier in the day) we notice a large amount of people just walking past the line, and heading into the restaurant. My friend decides to inquire about what is going on at the hostess desk. He asked "What is going on?" (very calm, very collected,) and a gentleman behind the host desk (doing VIP card registration I think) simply responded with "I'm not affiliated with the restaurant." After about half an hour wait we get sat. (Be aware that with about all the promotional specials offered, you have to buy a 1.50$ drink (alcoholic/non alcoholic) in order to receive the offer.) I order 20 spicy, Bud Light (in order to satisfy the drink req.), 2 blue cheese cups (1.00$ each), and an order of fries my friend follows suit but without the fries. Food arrives, all but my fries... No problem, server said she would have them right out. Fries never came out?!?!? When it came time for the check, we politely reminded her not to charge me for the fries because we never got them. She scoffed at us and stormed off! REALLY?!? We compare checks, and notice that my friends bill is higher than mine. He asked for a to go box, and was charged for the box 1.50$ and they charged him again for the wings he didn't finish 2.50$! At this point we are fuming! How are you going to charge someone twice for food already ordered? It was as if he was leasing the wings w/ the option to buy if he chose to take them off premises... LOL Needless to say a major scene ensued, and they finally took the charge off. That is all I care to write about this place... While I plan on going back to Vegas very soon, I will NEVER stay at this place again! 2 stars for the 1.50$ bud, and the shot at getting 25 cent wings. peace
Q: positive

A: We finally went back and the waitress actually remembered us and the events of our earlier meal there! Needless to say, we had pizza and it was perfect. I expect we will go back again.
Problem: What would be an example of an positive (OPTIONS:
- negative
- positive) review?

Answer: This review is for the petite suite at TI. My girls and I stayed here two months ago and LOVED the room. Not only was the room super spacious and clean it has two bathrooms. Yes, ladies, TWO! one with a whirlpool tub and the other with a shower. Genius, pure genius! After a long night out, we turned on the tub and soaked our sore feet. This place is perfect for four girls who take forever to get ready (haha, no fighting over the mirror or vanity space). As for the hotel staff, the front desk was a bit slow, it took us a long time to check-in (over thirty minutes) and the food selection was mediocre. We ended up venturing out for food anyway so that was a non-issue for us. The casino is decent, the limits averaged about $15 for table games. This hotel is also very close to the Fashion Show Mall which was a PLUS PLUS for the ladies. Also has a Starbucks, yah!
Q: negative

A:
I am usually a big Chipotle fan, but I am not sure what they were going for at this location. It was freezing with cold blasts of air conditioning beating down on us, the music coming from the speaker box around the drink station was so loud you could not even hear the person at your own table, and the chairs were uncomfortable (no booths here). As for the food, they were out of brown rice and fajita veggies; and the chips were stale and lacked the usual salty lime bite I love. The staff was nice but seemed a little confused. All in all, I will still hit up Chipotle regularly, but I doubt I will return to this location.
