This restaurant was just ok for me. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Service was ok, but not great. The food was ok, but nothing outstanding. Finally, the prices were high for what was served. Now for more detail. My husband and I both had salads. I had the panzanella, which is mozzarella and grilled bread on a bed of greens. The bread was wet and mushy. The greens had way too much dressing. The good news: the tomatoes and cucumbers in the salad were delicious. My husband got the Sicilian charred octopus. He said the octopus was nice. The problem is, with so many outstanding restaurants close by, "nice" just doesn't make the grade. Sorry Buddy!

This place had so many promoters giving out 2 for 1 coupons for dinner shouldve found that fishy in the first place, u dont see people promotin wolfgang puck. They all said it was delicious n we never leave vegas without a buffet so we decided to give it a try. Anyways decided to check it out. Hostess was very nice, server made us feel very unwelcomed. The way the restaurant is set up is really weird. You have to walk to the other side of the restaurant to get to the buffet. Every single thing from the buffet was bland. The meats that were brought to your table are mostly medium rare or rare. So if ur not into bloody meats stay away from here. The only meat that was good was the tri-tip. I would never go back, there was nothing really i liked and i felt so unwelcomed. Try elsewhere, Enjoy vegas.

So I went to Vegas this past weekend for my friend's birthday and we decided on Yellowtail for dinner. We wanted an elegant setting and a good range of choices. I was excited for dinner even before we got to Vegas! I knew it would be fairly expensive and portion size wouldn't be all that filling. But damn! My friend ordered the Scottish Salmon and asked the waiter approximately how large the fillets would be and he said "two pieces of salmon equal to about 7oz." and then he gave us a visual of the two fillets and motioned them being placed on the plate "boom, boom" he said for each piece of salmon. When her dish came out, we were looking at it in dismay. This did not look like a "BOOM BOOM" but more like a "bing bing!" Boy, was that microscopic. I tasted some. The texture of the salmon wasn't bad, not too dry. However, my taste buds don't fancy sour marinade so I didn't really enjoy it. But hey, "one man's trash is another man's treasure." My other friend ordered the Braised Kobe Beef Short Ribs. The texture and taste was quite succulent. The beef was tender and juicy. The only thing wrong was that it was the size of one of the salmon fillets. Another friend ordered the Big Eye Tuna Pizza and the Popping Spicy Crab Roll. The pizza was alright. Thinly sliced tuna on top of a thin cracker-like crust. That, too, had a sour taste. The Popping Spicy Crab Roll was ... fun. I wanted to try some so my friend ordered it. What was fun about it was that it consisted of Pop Rocks! When they first brought it out, you could hear the Pop Rocks crackling in the roll. I have a major sweet tooth, so I enjoyed the contrast of the pop rocks and the crab. I ordered the Angry Salmon Roll. It wasn't horrible, except that the roll had a diameter of maybe a quarter. Mediocre to me. It filled me up quite nicely and kept my bill under $20. Overall I thought Yellowtail was average for the classy prices they were charging for each dish. P.S. Did I mention that the portion sizes are very small?

Great new baseball stadium with logistical challenges. I'm not sure how the D'Backs and Rockies agreed to the very strange layout on the Salt River reservation. There's one way in and one way out. Should you decide to see a minor league game, be prepared to walk an additional 30 mines. This is because the staff, who generally charge $5 for parking (You can talk your way out of this) doesn't know which lot is for which field. These guys sent me to the mountain lot for a D 'Backs minor league game which is near 101. The lot was full, so the parking was on the dirt. Now the fun starts: There only was to see the D'Backs field is to walk through the Rockies piece, around the stadium and through about 6-8 D'Backs fields. (A giant U-shape, which no cut through.) This is a horrible design and signage/staff are weak. Hopefully, this is corrected or it'll be a quiet spot next season!
