Problem: There is a lot of hype about this place and although it is a good time, it is not very different than any of the other pool parties in Vegas, but with a lot more expense. One piece of advice though, DO NOT OPEN A BAR TAB ESPECIALLY IN THE CABANA BOTTLE SERVICE AREA. They will over charge you for drinks that you either did not order or that are different than the posted menu rates at the venue and shown on their website. This is how the waitresses make their money. Do not tip before you get the bill. They will add it to your bill anyways and deny the cash you forked over earlier in the day. If you dispute the charges, they will threaten to arrest you with Vegas PD at the premises. You do not need this kind of argument at the end of what you thought was an enjoyable day. And the MGM will not get involved to help settle the dispute unless you charge your bill through your room. Spread the word fellow Yelpers, its not worth the trouble or expense.

Problem: Brought my 2 granddaughters here when they were visiting from the east coast. They were 1 1/2 and 3 1/2. What a great hit! The equipment is built so that the parents can go inside as well - a bonus when your little one is trying it for the first time. In addition to the climbing equipment, there are also ride on cars which the toddler loved. The equipment is so creative that the kids were entertained for multiple trips during their visit here, and they still talk about wanting to go back on their next visit. The staff is amazing at remembering your drink orders - they got mine right on the 2nd visit! And they bring your food and drink to you, so no need to do the "starbucks dance" while you wait (and wait) on the barista. Their food is simple but creative and very fresh. My favorite is the breakfast panini. Haven't tried the muffins, as I'm not a big muffin fan, but the cookies are awesome. Did I mention super clean? Since it's brand new, everything is sparkling, but you can always see the staff cleaning and cleaning. The owner is very friendly and seems to always be on site, but his crew is very friendly and helpful as well. Just a nice place to hang out and let the kids enjoy.

Problem: Really didn't love it, and really REALLY wanted to since it's within walking distance of our home. The place seems to be having an identity crisis- upscale vs. neighborhood spot, trendy vs. homey, fine dining vs... Olive Garden? Cold (ie refrigerated, bought elsewhere, couldn't even be bothered to pop it in the oven for show) bread in an Italian restaurant left a bad taste from the start, and the food was over-salted and heavy- nothing you couldn't make at home. The corkage fee has been commented on but bears mentioning again- totally over the top. This review is a bit late- we tried it in the summer- so we're going back for another shot and hoping for better.

Problem: I'll admit that I've only been to this particular hot yoga studio, but it was definitely when they were still affiliated with Bikram Yoga and taught just Yin, Mars, and Bikram classes. That was before they expanded and changed up their classes to incorporate more--seminars, classes, and rooms. Even though this studio is a bit pricey, they do offer a variety of classes--Venus Beginner/Hot Yoga (Bikram yoga influence), Power Yoga, Vinyasa hot yoga, power yoga, Vinyasa (Flow), Asthanga, Baptiste, Russian Kettlebell, Hot Pilates and Zumba classes. They have classes all day long (5:30am-11pm Mon-Thurs, 5:30am-9pm Fri., and 7am-9pm Sat. and Sun.) They also offer mat and towel rental, water, and lockers (make sure to bring your own lock), in addition to an area for showering. They're also suggested tip/donation boxes for each instructor (between the bathrooms). My understanding is that Yin and Earth classes are taught at a slower pace. The Mars classes, though, are definitely a great workout, and taught at a faster pace--but I especially love Mark's class. Pilates is definitely a great workout (for 60 minutes) and regardless of the instructor--Gabriella (seems to have more of a bootcamp feel), Martin (stickler about form, or Carolyn (stays generally with the traditional Pilates mat exercises/series), to name a few--the only difference is that they incorporate their own personal tweaks. For anyone not used to a hot yoga or pilates class, just make sure to take the classes at your own pace--take a knee or child's pose, or leave the room momentarily. The Russian Kettlebell class, taught by Martin, is also a great class, and is the only weight-resistance (kettlebell) class offered. The class lasts 1.5 hours, but for some first-timers, you have the option of leaving after the first hour. I definitely recommend that you try this out at least once. They do offer (for Vegas residents) a deal where you pay $10 for the first class and your second class is free with their card (located at the front). If you were lucky enough to get a deal on Groupon or Livingsocial, you should also check out the various classes that they offer. Just make sure that you're prepared to be mat-to-mat with others, since they really pack people into their rooms--especially the small room. Also, it isn't uncommon to see girls in bathing suits or sports bras/spandex shorts, as well as guys in speedos or really tight/short shorts. I also recommend that you bring a towel, yoga mat, and water. They're also becoming sticklers (more strict) about arriving late for class--at least that's what the girl at the front told me, so make sure to arrive with at least some time to spare and check out the schedules online to ensure that they've not changed the times/classes on you unannounced...
