A: Okay, I stayed from Thursday to Sunday. This review will be kind of long, but I have lots to say about this place. To start with, I checked in Thursday evening. One person working the front, took about 10 minutes to get checked in with people in front of me. However, she was super friendly. Next up the room. It's not grand like the name implies. It's pretty small. For $190/night it was a pretty crappy view of another building and McDonald's too. There was a place for a fridge, but no fridge. I get I can request one, but why have the spot. The bathroom is tiny. The shower is weird. There is no door on it, but it has about half glasses, so my floor got wet. There is a weird glass door, so if you're not staying with someone close, it could be awkward. Also, it'll be nice when the pool is done, no tub to relax in. Next up, the so called complimentary high speed internet. There isn't any. On the free internet, I got .3 megs download. My Verizon jetback was much fast so I used it the entire weekend. You can pay to upgrade for $10/day, but after reading some reviews it's not worth it. The valet here is pretty bad as well. On Friday after dinner I came back and had to go to the valet booth myself to give them my keys. The most worrisome event happened Saturday night. I got back to the hotel around 11:50pm. There was a couple inside the valet booth. I got up and they asked me if I was valet. I told them no. So he starts cussing saying they've waited 15 minutes for valet to get their car keys. They were inside looking for the keys. I went to the front desk and told them what was going on and she said, "Yup, they've been out there a while." No help at all. So I went back outside. The couple after about 5 minutes found there keys, got in a car and left. Shortly after the valet guy comes up. I give him my keys and that was it. So, I guess, use valet at your own risk. Valet booth is left unattended and you can get your keys yourself if you want. One nice thing about this place is the walking distance to the Market Square as well as the light train. The train is free in the downtown area as long as you're not going across the rivers. The lobby is nice, the rooms look nice.

A: In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated buffets in Vegas. It isn't Bacchanal, or the buffets at Wynn, Bellagio, or Paris, but it doesn't try to be. The selection of food is pretty wide, and the quality is consistently good. Their desserts, in particular, stand out; between the ice cream, cookies, gelato, cupcakes, etc, it's tough to go wrong. Plus, at $25 or so per person for dinner, it's pretty affordable (about half the price of Bacchanal, for example!). You can do better if you're willing to pay more, but if you want a no-frills buffet that won't break the bank, Flavors does the trick.

A: Such an AMAZING pleasant surprise!!! My friend booked us here for a college reunion of sorts. I was suspicious because I've never heard of this place and it's not really very close to the Strip. OMG...so glad my friend made this choice. This is one of my new favorite resorts in Vegas. Let me tell you a few reasons why: -All of the rooms are HUGE and suite-style; there were 4 of us and we all fit super comfortably in one room. Two queen beds and a full-size couch (some of the rooms have pullouts but I slept on the normal couch and was plenty comfy) are automatically provided. If you're road-trippin up from Socal or anywhere else, there is more than enough floor space to comfortably fit one or two more air mattresses. If you're broke college kids or something, one room could fit 10 people with no issue. -Bathrooms are super nice; walk-in shower and garden tub are both wonderful. They also provide a REAL hair dryer and not those dinky toy-sized ones you get at Holiday Inn. -I think this place used to be an apartment complex or something with the way it's laid out; it's awesome because you can park right next to your room and not have to worry about making a long trek to your car if you forgot something. We had a fancy rental car and never felt sketchy about leaving it in the parking lot; there are security patrolling on golf carts at all times -The casino is actually decent for being off-strip. The slots seemed to be pretty loose and most of my friends won big there (I, of course, had no luck but whatever). They have a decent selection of table games as well. -Marilyn's Cafe or whatever is amazing drunk food. Steak and egg plate in the middle of the night is only $4.99. All in all, I will most definitely be coming back here to stay and play again.

I wish I can give this zero stars! I went here when it first opened and it was AMAZING! Last night I came back and this was by far the worst buffet and dining experience I have ever had. For the $44 they charged, I would have been better off going to McDonalds,Circus Circus buffet OR JUST STARVE instead. The bone marrow was the worst thing I've ever had, it was just a ridiculous amount of fat and the prime rib was flavorless. I even had the end piece of the prime rib. How do you mess that up??? They use to have mac n cheese and it was yummy! Now they replaced it with some cauliflower dish that looks exactly like the mac n cheese. Why would you do that?!?!?!?!? It's like they are just purposely pissing me off with this deception!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite dishes that they had was the pork belly sliders on mantao bread (Chinese white bread thingy) and again it was delicious. I even ate 5 in 1 sitting! Now it's GONE!!!! I had to force myself to eat enough to justify the $44 I sent. I ended up filling up on bread, yes you read that right, bread, sugar free cookies and ice cream. I still can't believe that a simple dish like spaghetti can be ruined but Wicked Spoon you proved me wrong! The so called clam pizza was tasteless. I just ended up eating dinner rolls. In fact if they had served King's Hawaiian rolls, then that would have been the best thing on the menu but since they didn't, the plain dinner rolls were good enough. They even messed up on the Korean short ribs. HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!?!?!?!? What makes me even more ANGRY is seeing people writing reviews about how great it is after going on the same day and eating the same crapI! I had to create an account just to share how disappointing this experience was.
