Q: Since I spent my last trip in Vegas staying at the Aria, I figured I might as well check out their buffet for dinner one night. Overall, there is not much to say- it was a good buffet, but for Vegas it seemed pretty standard and was nothing special (note: I did go on a Monday night and have heard that weekends might be better). For the most part, the food I had was good. I spent most of my time downing roast beef, shrimp, and snow crab legs. I also tried a variety of pastas, pizzas and other dishes. But again, although all of it was good and tasty, none of it was special enough to say it was really amazing. On the service side of things, the wait staff was a little slow at first, but as the meal went on it seemed to pick up a bit, so I'm not sure there's really anything to complain about. In essence, the Aria buffet was simply unremarkable. I don't really have anything bad to say, but I don't really have anything good to say either. In Vegas, I would expect better. OPTIONS:

Q: For the SPA only. My friend read somewhere that Bellagio was the #1 spa in Vegas. Eh, whoever made that list was on some heavy crack. New Years, apparently you don't get to use the spa unless you are staying at the hotel. Which was disappointing, as my friend and I were really looking forward to using a spa in Vegas (our hotel didn'thave one)....so it was okay that Bellagio had that policy, but the girl working at the counter practically chewed us out for even asking to use their spa when we're not one of their hotel guests.... its like gdamn, lady, did you HAVE to give us so much attitude? So my other friend, also not a hotel guest, booked a massage appointment well in advance so she was able to use their facilities, but according to the same girl at the counter, "you're lucky you got it before we made it exclusive to our guests".... The people working here have some serious attitude problem. Maybe because they work at the Bellagio and they've got some superiority complex cuz they're further up the Vegas hotel food chain, who knows. So I ended up just using my friend's spa pass for that day after she got her massage, and frankly, I didn't feel bad about it. They didn't notice either, cuz I guess they think all Asian girls look the same. She paid $210 for her massage, the least I can do is use their facilities to the fullest. The facilities....NOT that impressive. The hot tubs weren't that big, and they have cool water baths too. Standard steam room, sauna, and nice showers and amenities, but the atmosphere and feel didn't impress me. At all. In our search for the perfect spa, Qua at Caesar's Palace and The Bath House in The Hotel at Mandalay Bay were much more impressive and service was much more friendly. I doubt I'd ever stay at Bellagio in the future because their service, quite frankly, sucks. OPTIONS:

Q: Let me start by saying that I am definitely a fan of the "Old Vegas" hotels and was quite excited to be staying at the Union Plaza again after a long absence... boy, was I disappointed! Check-in was delayed, (even though we didn't even try til nearly 16:00 hrs), evidently our room was still dirty. We reserved a two-queen handicap room with a refrigerator; we got a two-queen standard room and the fridge was brought up later. The bathroom was so small, you had to step outside to fart! The AC worked fine after I cleaned the filth from the filters, but the tub drained so slowly that by the end of a quick shower you were standing ankle-deep in water... then one morning I heard something and looked down and saw water rising up out of the tub drain! Several calls to the desk did nothing because nobody ever showed up. The maids were very friendly and very generous with fresh towels and anything else they could do for us. We used the largest ballroom all week... where to start? Most of the electrical outlets were dead, all but one door locked (but security did make a good effort to keep an eye on things), and none of the lighting controls worked and the ceiling lights had to be adjusted by screwing and unscrewing them with a long pole! The main floor of the casino could have smelled better, I know smoking is allowed, but ventilation is also allowed! There are six elevators in the south tower, and regardless of the time of day, a 3-7 minute wait was normal... I once waited 10 minutes! The Valet were probably the best part of the whole week, always there, always friendly and very quick to bring the car around. The sushi place is AMAZING!!! Luckily, our convention will be hosted at the Tuscany Suites next year, I'm sad that my freshest memory of the Plaza is a shabby one. OPTIONS:

Q: 5 Stars for Food. 2 Stars for Service. The food was absolutely delicious! From the reviews I expected it to be really good but it was excellent. My husband who isn't a big "food" person, was actually quite giddy. I got a Caesar Salad and Chicken Parmesan. The Chicken Parmesan and the Spaghetti it came with, was the best I have ever had. My husband had the Panzanella Salad and Orecchiette Pasta. He said both were amazing. We also shared the Warm Nutella Cake. It was magical. I could tell that they took great pride in the way the food was made. The service was really spotty. Maybe it's because they just opened. But the food was so good it all worked out. OPTIONS:
