Problem: 9/23 Had a friend meet me here for Restaurant Week. We both weren't dressed for the Phoenician, but I didn't care (and soon, he didn't either). It's a good thing, too, bec. in the end, we found that this place wasn't ostentatious nor that pretentious. Dressed casually, we still managed to have a good time, despite the overall lackluster dining experience. First off, let me say that the service could pick up their heels a bit. By the time we received our expensive alcoholic beverage choices, more than 20 minutes had elapsed. ($15 for a glass of Cab and $11 for a tiny glass of mimosa? Are you serious??) Our first plate, a sub-par Caesar salad, arrived close to an hour after we were seated. But perhaps the fault wasn't entirely J&G's... Digestif's Caesar salad pretty much demolished all other competitors, I'd say. How about I testify that tonight's salad was crispy. That's saying something nice, right? No flavor, no creamy eggy goodness, but somewhat crispy. The decimated croutons didn't help the situation... For the entree, we had the skirt-steak & frites. The latter weren't any better than what you would find at McDonalds'. (Seriously, I'm not making this up. Just check out the photos and you'll see I'm all about the truth!) But the skirt steak! This baby wasn't much to gaze at, but it was tasty. Let's just say it was delicious enough for me not to cry over the expense we spent that night on a barely-touched salad, a cheap cut of steak, three beverages, and tip. Now onto the star of the show... chocolate cake w/ caramel ice cream! Wait for it... homemade caramel ice cream! And chocolate-lava cake shaped like a star. Oh. My. Freakin'. God. This should be renamed "Foreplay." Nice ambience, despite it being darker than I would like and that we were seated far away from the panoramic views. I appreciated the privacy, though. Women's restroom was clean and orderly, and walking past little caches of wine bottles was a nice touch. The grounds looked pretty, but I was more impressed w/ the property at The Arizona Grand...

Problem: Excellent club. I haven't had so much fun in a long time. The promoters are doing an excellent job. I credit them with keeping the club packed up until I left at 10am. I met a great guy btw, Anyone wanna drive down from LA? JK. LOL.

Problem: I read the reviews and they were favorable food is good price is amazing to come to Vegas I come to realize that all the buffets and all the hype never really add up to $43 per person 799 a person well I guess I'm living in the 80s but I do enjoy discounted food in Vegas and ports of call to Gold Coast it's a homerun sure service is a bit tired and a little laxed but who cares at 799 and it's yourself and grandpa wife and kids were all in

Problem: First impression: very nice dining tables and photos from the flyer seemed appetizing so I decided to give this place a try. The wait for food was a little long but its because the chef prefers fresh food. It was worth the wait for the sinigang, sisig, and pancit canton order. All dishes were very tasty. The sinigang had nice big pieces of pork and okra which was a new thing for me to see but tasted good. The broth had the right flavor of tamarind and they have fish sauce for those who prefer that in their soup. The sisig was not the traditional look either..it was dark almost like dinuguan. I was scared to try it but was surprised how tasty it was!! yummy crunches of pork and onion served with rice and I was a happy girl. The pancit canton had lots of veggies and was a little on the sweet side so it reminded me very much of chinese lo mein. I would definitely come back and try their other dishes.
