A: Didn't like this place on a Sunday night. Really expensive beers and the music wasn't good blues. Seemed more of rock music. Plus there were a lot of weird paintings.

A: I loved my recent stay at the Encore. I'm not a huge gambler and also don't like the cigarette smoke and the crowds that accompany it so I appreciated that the casino area was limited at this hotel. My suite was beautiful. I loved the chic but decidedly feminine color scheme of cream and black with accents of red. I disputed that it was feminine but John pointed out the houndstooth wall coverings and I quickly shut my mouth. The suite is essentially three open and interconnected areas, a large bathroom with a soaking tub and a large shower, a bedroom area, and a tv/lounging area. So please be advised there are no doors (other than to the bathroom) to separate the spaces. I didn't mind but it might make a difference for bigger groups sharing a room and sleeping spaces. I liked that the Encore was quiet, likely due to its location at the far end of the Strip. But the on the downside, it was also hard to access good restaurants. I felt that the Wynn and Encore's food offerings were subpar and the best restaurants were in the bigger hotel/casinos. No a huge deal since I often drive to eat but it would have been nice to have at least one eatery on which to rely.

A: For Valentine's day, I wanted to get my friend something a little nice to celebrate the day so went to Karsh's. How many times do you celebrate someones 89th valentines day. I walked in and looked at the cases. I hear laughing in the back. I walked around and looked at all the cases again.I saw the asst manager look through the window to see if someone was out there. I looked through all the cases twice more and walked out and went to Bashas. Maybe they don't like me there? A week later I went to buy some marbled rye bread there because didn't have the time to go to LaGrande Orange. Two people immediately asked to help me. This place does something to my head. I wish I could like the idea of going there. I DON'T but do so for my friend only now.

A:
Love this place. Very yummy and makes me feel healthier to choose this place when I want to eat out. The service is outstanding, very family feeling help each other out hugs and love atmosphere. I always get to go for the most part with the cookies which I'm told are only 20 calories a piece, who knows. :) and the red velvet cake (110 calories). Yum! I only don't recommend the mac and cheese, kind of runny. Otherwise everything else has been outstanding. Loved the caprese panini. I even got my kids to eat the cookies and love them as well :) Luckily it is around the corner from my house.
