A: Excellent!!! Nicky's is now my go to spot for lunch time Thai! 5 Senses Review: Sight: 7- Beautiful Thai decor, I love the Buddhas. Sound: 8- a high number here is not good. It is difficult to hear and be heard. Smell: 8- deliciouness everywhere. Touch: 5- except for some items you are using your utensils. Although the forks, knives etc. are a cool bamboo inspired shape. Taste: Good range of spices (common of thai places) a 1-10 scale. and the tea was great. I have been here twice now and have liked it more the second time. I wrote a tip before to make sure you get there early if this is for lunch. The place fills up FAST and they do not take reservations at lunch. The combo of it being crowded and no reservations almost made me go to a 3-star, but the food is just to good. Couple that with fast and polite service I chose to keep the 4th star. If you are in downtown and having lunch with your boss, colleagues or wife, the fast service is nice. Time is of the essense after all in coroprate America. I ordered the beef basil at a 6 level of spicy. I do wish thai places had a standard here in regards to spice because F me I was sweating!!! Yet it was still great. If you like pad thai, you cannot go wrong here. However, there are other great items. Be brave, you will not be disappointed. Even though the food was great, be midful of the crowd. If you are with a group be sure to leave enough time to wait (unless you get there early). One thing I have trouble with are the use of tv's. For whatever reason I don't like them in places meant for people to be engaged with one another. Leave that for the bars where no one cares to talk. Over all, nice people and great food and affordable. Another great part.

A: **Be sure to check your order before you leave this McDonald's. It's always missing some food item.** This has happened to me 6 different times over the past 4 months. Why didn't I learn my lesson after the first time? It's not something you normally think about when you're in the drive thru, that "Oh yeah this is the one that ALWAYS leaves something out!" Plus, I've had other family members go get my order and forgot to warn them. It won't happen again because I'll never go back or send anyone else there. When I call the manager , he's always apologetic and says he'll replace the missing item but that's always a big inconvenience. Who wants to drive all the way back? The only reason I gave it two stars is because it's the only McDonald's up in North Phoenix that has the game pieces throughout the entire Monopoly Game season. Other McDonald's run out the first few days or the first week. I guess this is the only McDonald's that doesn't let employees pilfer the pieces.

A: First the bad: it is inconceivable to me that at 7:00pm one cannot make a room service order that includes French fries. I am ok overpaying for a prime rib and asparagus for the convenience of having it delivered to my room. But the inability to add such a basic and common side is surprising. Room service is about convenience and such a rigid selection is highly inconvenient. The hotel is far away from anything. (Perhaps also a plus). The shower head could be better. There are stains on both chairs in the room that look like a male bodily liquid; the word for which I likely cannot use on Yelp. I am reserving judgement as I don't want to judge an entire property on one housekeepers performance. The good: the bed is comfortable, the room is excellent and the property itself is fantastic! The bathroom is spacious with dual vanities and an integrated TV in the mirror. The shower is well sized and has an adequate seating area for the ladies to comfortably shave their legs. The room is modern and tastefully decorated with plenty of storage. Lighting is plentiful and several options exist for lighting the room the appropriate shade. The pool area is spacious with nice layout of the cabanas and bar. The casino floor has plenty of options for action and great bars. The beer bar has a truly amazing selection of beer: the absolute best I have seen at any resort in Vegas. Several options for meals exists, each are not disappointing; appropriate in quality and price for the venue. I will return.

A:
It was Diane's birthday, and I needed to get two supplemental presents and some gift wrap pronto before she returned home from a local poker tournament. So, I went to the local Target, and it did not disappoint. It was midday on a Wednesday when I entered the immaculate store, and, except for store personnel scattered about and very few other customers, it was much like a ghost town: quiet and nearly devoid of people. The store is vast, and it took me awhile to find books and puzzles in the back. I quickly grabbed a suitable one of each, and then asked an employee where I could find gift wrapping. She directed me opposite the front registers, where I promptly wheeled my cart--and found nothing resembling wrapping papers. Upon asking another roving employee, he looked perplexed and referred my inquiry to an adjoining cashier, who said that the store did not do gift wrapping. I replied that I knew that, and was prepared to do it myself. But I had to find the wrapping. "Oh!" he exclaimed, and referred me to the "wall of cards." I did not find a wall, but just 15 yards away I saw a rack of greeting cards, and behind that rack I spied another long rack of gift wrapping papers and gift bags for sale. I selected one of each, and returned to the register of the man who pointed me there. To my surprise, just about every article in the cart recorded a lower price than I expected to pay, and by using a Target Stores credit card, every purchased item was reduced another 5%. My needs were met; it was a good shopping trip; and I quickly headed home--only to arrive one car length behind the birthday girl. So I had to join and wrap the new purchases with her main present in the seclusion of the garage, and then store them in a car while she was inside the house. Diane finally got to see the gifts a few hours later in the midst of March Madness, in a Chart House booth at the Golden Nugget, her choice of restaurant for the evening. She liked at least two of her gifts (she thought the sniper book was more suitable for me--imagine that!); our meals were delicious; and as an unexpected bonus we enjoyed some live entertainment along Fremont Street and the Fremont Experience before calling it a night. All was well, in large part thanks to Target Stores in North Las Vegas.
