A: I really wanted to like Catina...but was disappointed. We went on a Friday night and waited only 20 minutes for 2 people which wasn't too bad. The girl who sat us walk so much faster than us to the table and didn't even say anything before walking away. Our waiter was very friendly on the other hand. He brought out chips but they were out of containers for the salsa so we had to wait about 10minutes for salsa and I will say it was well worth the wait! The salsa is delicious! We ordered the house margaritas that was also really good and fairly strong! So the reason for the 2 stars, the delicious salsa and margaritas. Now for the food.....I ordered the enchilada suiza. Very disappointing. The chicken was so dry and tough! I barely ate my meal. I was wishing for more sauce to help with the dryness but they were lacking in sauce as well....such a bummer!

Q: negative

A: Reeeeeeeaaaaaaallllly slow service. I realize the bar next door is busy with pool players ordering food but one burger, that's all I want, just one burger, and she wouldn't give it to me......half an hour, dayum. Basic diner fare. Decent fries.

A: Family owned bakery with very friendly staff. Whilst chatting with the owner, he told me that all of the baked goods are made from "actual recipes" from "grandmothers' kitchens" that go back decades. The girl behind the counter kept offering free samples of cookies....I told her to stop that, as my willpower is very limited! I ended up buying a pound box of assorted cookies - chocolate sandwich, mini lemon scones, jam thumbprint, pecan, shortbread, etc. - and all were delightful. Freed's cakes look beautiful and I wish I had a cooler in my car so I could take some of them home (I feared for my potential cakes' lives, as many of them featured beautiful buttercream frosting that would have melted sadly in the heat!). Next time, Freed's, next time.....post-Hallowe'en treat? ;) Check this place out and support a local business!

A:
It's not a bad hotel, but it's not the best either. It's like the Motel 6 on the strip. The bathroom needs to be updated with new counter tops and sinks. This hotel makes me feel like I'm in Vegas, but in the 60's or something. The crowd is older and more hick. Even though the price is cheaper, you're paying a lot for cab prices. So why not just spend the cab money on a hotel closer to the strip and be fabulous? Unless you are driving, then sure why not stay here. It does have a very vintage Vegas feeling to it. :-)
