A: We wanted to eat at the Caesars Palace Buffet on Sunday morning, but the line was 2.5 hours long. I guess the secret's out that the Bacchanal Buffet is the the best one in Vegas. Hopefully a few places will rip off the Caesars formula and take some of the audience from the place so that the line isn't twice as long as a flight to Sin City next time. Starved, tired, slightly hungover, and a bit grumpy, we searched for a more immediate place to eat once we realized the Bacchanal was not in the cards. A friend who lives in Las Vegas recommended Central, which turned out to be a pretty darn good upscale casual food restaurant from a famous chef slumming it a bit. We started with an order of the "potato nachos..." don't bother. They're just potato chips with melted cheese whiz on them. Meh. But the main courses were delicious. My lady-friend got the burger, which had a bit of crunch and high quality meat and cheese that was perfectly balanced. I ordered the fried chicken, which was served atop a creamy potato gratin. Delicious. We sat at the bar and the servers were super chill and nice. Good beer selection and my lady was blown away by her mimosa. Overall, pretty good if a bit expensive. I was just sad to miss the Bacchanal Buffet but Central was a decent alternative in the lobby of Caears without a long wait.

Q: negative

A: Not very clean. They never ever vacuum the rugs. I see the same hair, lint and bobby pins on the floor of the room I have using. For the price I wish the cleaned up a little better. I tan with my socks & underwear in because I get grossed out when I'm there. The beds are good quality but not cheap.

Q: negative

A: They do have some nice items up for sale. I noticed that immediately ( that's what the two stars are for). Sadly, I also noticed the attitude that the other reviewers mentioned just as quickly! I'm relatively new to the area, from NYC, & this shop is only a 10 minute drive from me but the atmosphere is certainly that of a snooty, high end boutique. As much as I love and adore designer everything I would much rather drive 25 minutes further to a very cool consignment shop in Rock Hill, with very sweet & warm ladies in a friendly atmosphere, just so I don't have to deal with any attitude. High end or not, a warm atmosphere and friendly service always gets you further. I speak from experience because I've been in the retail business, in both corporate & boutique environment as a manager, for many years.

Q: positive

A:
I've read some mixed reviews about this place so I wanted to try it for myself. K & I decided to try their lunch offer. 2 course lunch & a cocktail for 15 through 5pm.co.uk. We both had the pink gin fizz cocktail which was lovely. It was a generous serving in a tall glass with fresh raspberries muddled through it. So good we ordered a second! Food wise, I had the mussels in a Bloody Mary sauce to start. It was a generous serving of very plump mussels with some crusty bread to mop up the sauce. K had the bruschetta. It was a generous portion too & we scoffed the lot. For main I tried the salmon served with herb couscous & K had the chicken stuffed with haggis. Both portions were a decent size & full of flavour. I'd definitely go back. The service was good too. We were through in the restaurant rather than the bar area so next time I'll try the bar & see how it compares.
