Q: I'm gonna just put it out there... pizza is awesome anytime. It's even more amazing when you're drunk. THERE, I said it. So when we left Tao Beach, tipsy and needing some nosh, Otto Enoteca was there to save us from making another Dal Toro mistake. Service was outstanding for sure. The hostess was sweet and didn't even seem to care that we looked like little drowned rats (and we were too hungry to care). The server and his assistant were very personable and even gave hugs when requested (albeit very tentatively... probably not something they are asked for on the reg). Waters were always filled and our request for extra napkins was fulfilled quickly. The pizza... ohhhhhh that pizza. The four of us shared a Margherita 'D.O.C.' and the Pesto, which was perfect between all of us. I love pesto anything, so I was in pesto heaven (if you can't guess which pizza I'm talking about, we can't be friends... in fact, stop reading right meow). The Margherita was bomby as well, but come on.... PESTO. Best of all, it didn't break the bank whatsoever. Obviously, the bill would have been larger had we been imbibing, but for food and good times people watching (on the "patio"), I would definitely return... and I plan to. PESTO!

Q: Really not a good airport. Las Vegas is built around you, the customer, and a good experience should be had at the place most likely to be your first and last impression of the city. Just walk up and down the airside for Southwest and you'll see 20+ people sitting on the floor at nearly every gate. My wife had to sit on the floor when she was pregnant because none of the hung over people also waiting for the flight would give up their seat. Would it really be that difficult for the airport to install additional seating? The security lines are horrible on a regular basis. Fortunately TSA Pre Check has helped with that a lot, but most people don't have that yet and will still get stuck in the long line. The McCarran baggage claim is ripe with criminals stealing luggage. The airport also has woefully inadequate security camera coverage of the baggage claim area. My wife and I had our bags stolen in 2012; the criminals just took the first few bags to come off the belt, and with the very long walk from plane to claim, they were long gone before we had even gotten there to watch our own bags. The police told us that the airport used to enforce a ticketed passenger only policy, but got rid of that for budgetary reasons in 2007/2008 time frame, so now anyone can come into the claim area. They do have plain clothes police patrolling the area, but unless the same person comes to steal bags often enough, or is dumb enough to come in from outside and immediately take a bag versus coming in from the ticketing area so they appear to come from the airport side, they're not going to catch many thieves. The cameras the airport had also had no record of the people taking our bags; no view of the belt in question, no view of the exits they apparently used. How do I know the bags were stolen and the airline didn't just lose them? Because we found the criminals by way of them trying to sell our belongings at a used clothing store; they confessed to stealing them off the belt. Food-wise, the slightly better than fast food eating options in the airport have all proven to be poor to below average. The food is typically not good, and the drinks are very expensive and not very strong. I'd recommend eating before arriving and just buy a $4.50 bottle of water once you're through security. Oh yeah, typically all the tables will be taken, so you'll probably be eating your food off the floor just like you'll be doing when waiting for your plane. Finally, I hope you're not catching a cab. The cab line is outside, which is really pleasant in the 100 degree heat. Once you work your way to an available cab, the airport charges higher than average fees for cabs to do pickups (compared to other airports), so a rip the customer off mentality has developed amongst the cab drivers. With the confusing exits from the airport, the cab drivers have become professionals at taking longer routes out that seem to be the most ideal way to go. You'll pay a few dollars more and if you had not known better, would be none the wiser. I've had to start telling drivers explicitly that I want them to take certain streets on the way to where I'm going.

Q: It's always hit or miss if the person helping you is knowledgeable about the product. I for one would stick with Amazon, as you're getting the same product far cheaper. Also, I'd avoid their product protection program, cause they'll replace your item with something of much lesser value.

Q: If Chipotle had an asian sibling, it would be Foosia. I believe there is so much potential to their concept. The flavor choices they offer are both original and familiar. Original because they put their own twist on the usual and familiar because you can easily identify the sweet, spicy, tangy asian flavors. The place is clean and the staff were very helpful. They did not have a lot of customers when we visited but I guess it was because we got there very late. I would think the place becomes busy during lunch and dinner. The ordering order. First selection, the bowl. Its just there way of saying choose your carbs. They offer jasmine rice, brown rice, noodles and flat bread. You can also go all greens if you don't feel like carbo loading. Next choice, your protein. They have pork, beef, chicken, shrimp and tofu. Third in line are the veggies. The customers can make a choice on how they want the veggies cooked. It can be a quick stir fry or steamed. Fourth station is the sauce choices. I had the Kim Jong-Who??? BBQ and my wife tried the Two nuts walk into a bar. Yes, they have weird names but it does give a good idea of what to expect (lets touch on the sauce a little bit more later). The last stop is for the toppings section. The choices are crispy wantons, thai herbs, peanuts, shallots and many more. Like I said, the sauce. It makes a difference. Kim Jong-Who??? BBQ is as you guess it, a korean bbq sauce. Sweet and spicy. It has a great kick that cuts through the sweetness of the bbq sauce. Sweet and spicy is always... ALWAYS...a good combination. My wife had the Two nuts walk into a bar. Yes, you got it right, peanut sauce. If you like the southeast asian flavor of Malaysia and Thailand, this is your sauce. It has a balanced hint of soy sauce and coconut that would satisfy your craving for some salty and creamy finish. The combination of carbs, properly cooked protein, veggies, tasty sauce, some fresh herbs and a topping of crunchy wantons or peanuts would definitely make every bite an experience. There are layers and layers of flavors and textures that would really make the meal interesting. The fusion at Foosia is a spoonful that is worth a try. more reviews at http://themealexperience.blogspot.com/
