Beach Cafe is a hidden gem in the Southwest part of town. The food is always good (love the BLT and the chicken fringers...and the fries are the best!!). The service is great, the place is clean and nicely decorated. Best part has to be that they also deliver!!! I get delivery from here about once a week and they are very quick and the food is just as good delivered as it is eaten there. I guess if I had to find a negative it would be that their smoothies (while very yummy) are a little too expensive. Hope this place sticks around for awhile! (It should because I have told everyone I work with that lives in the area to check it out and they all love it too!)

My husband and I lived here for two years and at first it was okay since we moved from Orlando Florida to Phoenix and needed a place to live. There are a lot of nice people who live in the complex. We we first moved in all the gates worked and the security was visible after sun down. Since the renovations we saw no security, gates don't work. We lived on the second floor and it was always hot, had to keep the air conditioner on constantly just to be comfortable. Our air conditioning motor died on us in the middle of summer last year and it took maintenance 2 days to fix, everything in our apartment broke with no reason. Our down stair neighbors were always slamming doors, you could hear them fighting at all hours. On two occasions someone tried to get into our apartment, you could see and hear them turning the door handle. Every time I looked outside I never saw anyone coming down the stairs. The parking is horrible, our apartment was near the back where the side street was from baseline rd and 48th. It felt liked management put every new resident this side so there really never was any parking space available and you had to park so far away from your building . You heard a lot of fighting by different people at different times of day, we even heard two women fighting over a man at 4 am screaming at the tops of thier lungs. Now you have to deal with police helicopters over the complex and the complex next door every weekend. The renovations they are making, makes them look good on the outside but it is not the best place to live. Some of the staff there are really nice and try to help as best as they can, but if you need help Janice forget it, she talks and treats you like a child and she is really rude. She puts up notices almost every day. Our neighbors are really nice and we got to know them and became friends, but for no reason one of there tires were slashed and they told management but they did nothing. The knew who did it, but nothing was done about it. People let thier kids run around with no supervision at all hours. This summer some kids got a hold of a fire extinguisher and let all of the stuff out all over place and left the can on the ground. Also kids took all the dog poop bags out of the dispenser. it is really scary to walk your dog around at night. On two occasions I saved to dogs that were dumped at the complex, luckily I was able to get them homes. All in all it is not a good place to live. I highly recommend finding somewhere else to go. If you have dogs go somewhere that has a dog park built into to the complex. This apartment complex needed them badly, since there are so many people who live here that have a dog or more than one. We decided to pack up our stuff and move, which we did since our lease ended on 10/31/13. like I said thier are some really nice people who live there but, it really isn't a safe place to live or a quiet place.

If you are looking for the most effective workout on the market, Chandler Fitness is the place to go! Michael understands body mechanics more than most. His classes are a blend of cardio (boxing/kickboxing) and strength training - functional fitness. I am not the most fit person - BY FAR - however, the classes are small enough that I get individual attention and training without personal training prices. It's an 8 people max, which I find very nice. He has a personal relationship with each of his members, so he is more than aware of our individual fitness goals. Not only is he one of the most knowledgeable people I've met, he is the most compassionate. He does not see members as dollar signs, but as opportunities to make their lives more fulfilled. Being overweight himself helps him connect with people that are struggling. He finds ways to trigger you so that you find your motivation. If you are physically fit now, he also has a way to push you to the limit! I've seen men and women in amazing shape pour sweat going through his exercises. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with him! He can definitely get you to the next level :) Oh! one more thing: the gym is in excellent condition, is clean and doesn't smell like a bunch of sweaty bodies!

The last few times I've been in Vegas, I time my workouts in the morning so I can have the lunch AYCE at Blue Fin. Unlike Sumo, you can order the sashimi appetizers like the ahi poke salad at lunch. Such a great deal and super tasty. All of the specialty rolls I have tried are packed full of fresh fish and not giant rice balls designed to fill you up. And any nigiri you order seems to come to you immediately. Garlic tuna nigiri is especially tasty, and their spicy hand rolls are fantastic. Can't wait to go back in June!
