As a frequent visitor of Vegas, I never really visit the Mandalay Bay due to its far location at the end of the Strip. This past Valentine my boyfriend and I went to dine and hang at Mandalays on a Sunday evening, a change from the typical Cosmo/Aria scene. The promoter from the Foundation room stopped us and handed us drink/entry passes in the casino. Another guy walked us into the lounge/club located all the way near the top of the hotel (but below MIX) I think? Don't really know which floor.. I was buzzed. Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise! The antique furniture gave a very classy/vintage vibe. Bar had a good variety of specialty drinks and wine selection. Bartender had excellent etiquette, came over and lit me up when she saw me pull out my Mild 7s :) DJ was spinning old school hip hop with top 40 mix. Surprisingly, I was not bored. Most likely I was amused by the spectacular view of the Strip from the balcony and the drunk gay guy prancing/cat-walkin' around the dancefloor all night to every single song. I would definitely take my friends here on future Vegas trips.

I spent part of my Monday calling Auto Glass companies to replace the cracked windshield on my 2013 Ford Fusion. Maybe it's just me but I was more than a little skeptical on this type of company in general...I'm sure like me you get unsolicited calls wanting to know if you need any glass work done...I think the chip repair guy at the car wash sells your name if you ever get any work done there. Then after talking to a couple companies and having the hard close put on me I decided to look at YELP...i use it for food all the time but not for a service like this. I called Southwestern Auto Glass after reading the other reviews and was very happy I did, I had all my questions answered, price was very competitive, and he said he could do it on Tuesday (the next day). I agreed, he got my insurance company on a conference call will us...we got it all approved in a few minutes and on Tuesday just after lunch a professional van shows up (like the one in the photo above) and he has my windshield and is ready to do it. I pulled my car out of he garage and in about 30 minutes he was done! I paid my insurance deductible to him and he was on his way. I got a quality job, and a quality windshield (watch out for guys peddling Chinese junk Glass) and an immediate response. I'm very happy with Southwestern Auto Glass!

Don't call this landscaping company unless you want to waste your time. Initially, the guy who answered the phone sounded friendly and I set a 10am appointment for them to come to my house to give me a quote. I called them at 10:10am because they had not arrived yet. The same guy answered and said he thought it was for another day then said his crew may just be late. So I wait and wait and no call back! I call them back once again and they forwarded my calls to voicemail. What pisses me off is I took off from work for this appointment and they don't even have the decency to call me back. THIS COMPANY WILL STAND YOU UP!!!!!

Have to do a quick update for my favorite Mexican spot in the city. Dalton, and the crew at Three Amigos offered to host my company holiday party this past Saturday night. All I have to say is Three Amigos continues to impress. Out of 13 people, my wife and I were the only ones who had ever been here so I was very excited to show my co-workers some great, authentic food. We arranged to be served family style for such a big group and everything was perfect. Started with pitchers of margaritas, a few beers, chips, salsa, queso fondito (chorizo & onion) and their incredible guac. I had asked specifically if they would make us some empanadas off of the late night Dominican menu and boy am I glad I did. They came out next, stuffed with either chicken or beef, they were incredible. Then came huge platters of rice and beans, followed by enchiladas served with either rojo, verde, or mole sauce. All 3 were incredible. Also served was Bistec ala Mexicana, which is basically a Mexican beef dish, served in a sauce of tomato, onions, chili, and a few other veggies. That stuff was amazing!! They finished up with desserts from a local Mexican bakery, Las Delicias, (which will be reviewed as well). We had a full Tres Leches cake, flan, and guava empanadas. The staff was amazing, and very accommodating, especially considering we got a little loud towards the end of the night. (Patron shots will do that to ya) Big thanks to everyone at Three Amigos, you have forever won me and many of my co-workers over for best Mexican in the city.
