Let me start by telling you what they got right - the story is good and relies on comic book lore that goes a little deeper than the cinematic universe. There is one moment near the end that genuinely brought a smile to my face which I won't ruin for you, and the staff seemed like they genuinely wanted to help. However, none of that can make up for the complete disorganization and technical malfunction we experienced. I was part of the 10:00am Saturday group that others have written about. First, we spent 45 minutes trying to register our wristbands on malfunctioning kiosks, which was made especially painful by the fact that the wristbands didn't seem to work at all and that the registration served no purpose. We moved through the first two domes in a long line but without any specific problems. When we got into the first experience dome, what others have referred to as the arcade dome, we began to see clearly that the experience was not ready for the public. We were told that the Iron Man flight simulator didn't work, only to see people using about an hour later with a long line. We waited 30 minutes to get into the laser shooting gallery, only to have it malfunction when we went inside, where they left us standing in the dark for 15 minutes before unceremoniously being told to leave. The only functioning exhibit we were able to experience was the reconstructing the adaptoid, which was ok but not anywhere near the entertainment we expected for the price of admission. By the time we left this room we we were already frustrated. We then moved onto the vestibule for the next exhibit, where we waited for another 30 minutes for the next dome, where we were told 110 people were 'stuck'. When we finally moved inside, they passed out 3D glasses and we were told we would begin our training. Moments later, they told us to take off the glasses because the 3D wasn't working anyway. The 2D animated movie was ok, and might have been awesome in 3D but who knows. Most of the people I was with ceased being able to follow the story at this point anyway. The next chamber in between training and the climax was good, and actually the best part of our experience, which I won't ruin for anyone. If the rest of the exhibit had worked as well I wouldn't be complaining. Most insulting was the '4D' ride at the end. They took our malfunctioning wrist bands before we entered, and throughout the presentation it became clear that we would have been participating if we had them. There were no '4D' effects beyond what you could get in a flight simulator at Dave and Busters. The movie was not in 3D. The store at the end looked like it had some nice, unique merchandise, but we were so irritated and angry we just rushed through it and left, not interested in spending even one more dollar. I spent $215 dollars on 4 adult and 2 child's tickets and $10 for parking for an experience that left me sad, dissapointed, and angry. I had high hopes for this. I have since learned that some people have been offered refunds or passes to return when they have things working, but no one has reached out to us despite our attempts to contact them. The uneven reimbursement just adds insult to injury. UPDATE: I was contacted and offered a refund, which Ticketmaster processed right away, so kudos to the Marvel Experience and Hero Ventures for doing the right thing.

I love the camarones mojo de ajo! or .... garlic shrimp ;) the guacamole is fresh and plentiful as the free chips and salsa they do most of their dish justice and the happy hour is truly HAPPY!. kicking back with a few margaritas doesn't hurt either

EH. I drive past the Panorama almost every day on the way to work and I saw the sign to TBP. So, I Yelped it and saw all the hype. Roomie and I had a day off together and decided to brunch here with another friend. Weather was sunny and breezy so, it was perfect for patio dining. Walked into their cafe/grocery/market side and thought that was a super cute idea. How perfs for those living in Panorama to walk downstairs for their good Good of beer, wine, Moet, McConnell's ice cream, toiletries, even Tylenol (for the hangover and errthang). The vibe and decor was very nice and hip and reminds me of LA. I hate saying that but, I feel like Vegas is becoming " SO LA." We ordered crispy pork nuggets, lobster mac and cheese, ahi crunch salad, and fries. There was nothing crispy about that pork, nor was it anything nugget-like. If you've had chicharron; it's nothing like that! Also, it tasted better w/o the aioli dipping sauce. Crunch salad was ok; I felt it was a bit too mayonaissey with not enough crunch. Seared ahi on the salad looked bigger on Yelp pics lol And it had NO taste, unless tasting "mushy" was a flavor. Lobster mac and cheese was a best thing about brunch for me because I liked the al dente pasta and light sauce. There was quite a bit of lobster and skrimp in there, too. Actually, scratch my last comment about the lobster mac/cheese being the best thing about brunch --- THE VIEW of Aria, the freeway, and Vdara was the best thing about brunch --- and I'm not being sarcastic about it. Service was great tho. The bar was closed but, the manager still managed to make me a Jamie ginger.

AVF Exotic Arts is hidden in the plaza across from the Harris Teeter on the corner of the plaza and central avenue. It is a magical place where you can change your life if you have the guts to try. I learned about the studio after watching a friend completely change over a year long period. I saw my friend morph into a different person through going here. She walks differently, she is very physically strong and she has a newfound confidence through consistently taking classes at the studio. The pole works your entire body-your spirit-your mind. It is a very safe place to challenge yourself and Anne the instructor is absolutely wonderful at what she does. I don't have a lot of dance experience and I am not coordinated - she does an AMAZING job of teaching you moves in little pieces and then teaches you how to piece them together in your own style. I had my first class this week and I am sore in places that I didn't know existed. Every single muscle in my body was worked and I loved every single minute of it. When the 90 minute class ended I was sad (this has NEVER happened). If you don't feel comfortable in your body, you have been wanting to start working out and you want to do it in an amazing studio - I highly recommend AVF Exotic Arts.
