Q: positive

A: I know this place is new and probably should be the hottest thing in town, but after a couple stays, I'm not convinced. Don't get me wrong, this place isn't a dump, but just left a tad to be desired. The hotel/gaming floor/amenities are fantastic, but the rooms (for a place like that) should have been bigger, IMO. The only thing I liked about the room is the huge view of the Wynn Golf Course; man, I love that view. The tables were great with really friendly pit bosses and dealers which, to me, makes for a good time while gambling (besides winning big). XS is one of the newer/popular clubs in town, which is located at Encore. I was pretty impressed with the place and although the main club isn't too big, the gigantic pool area more than makes up for it. That's all I'll probably say about XS since the club warrants a review of its own. Overall, this is one of the better places to stay in Vegas. I know I'm kinda' short-changing this place because we don't spend too much time in the rooms anyway, but at the rate you pay (when you're not comp'd), I think they should be bigger.

Q: negative

A: This place brings back a bad taste in my mouth literally so to the point. Place is loud, can barley have a conversation,(which is okay if your wasted) The seating is very crowded, more than a few times all of us at our party bumped in tot he table behind us and like wise. The drinks ( mixed drinks were really weak) I tasted from friends drinks, and worst off the food was ridiculously salty. The pretzel that came our needed a glass of water per bit/ or dipped in the hotter mustard sauces to mask the saltiness. the food was also extremely salty, and this was for about 4 of the 8 guys that ate with us. many of us got the jager dish( that was way to salty) I threw up after a few bites of pretzel and two bites of the jager sausage plate from too much salt( I am sure its the salt since I didnt drink any alcohol the whole day) The only good that came out of going was the decor, and the fact you get to see some people get smacked so hard on their moneymakers they cry I cant belive we went here, and I will never go back. Ill stick in the hotel or eat across the street should a group of friend ever want to eat here again.

Q: positive

A: I'm a little shy when it comes to going to events where I don't really know anyone. After getting my drink tokens I made a beeline to the bar for a glass of wine and with the help of BINGO I was chatting up a storm with everyone I encountered. Folks sang to me -as a duet no less-, talked like an Australian and told me to sit my butt down and eat some wonderful appetizers with them. By the end of the night I met some great folks (the highlight was finally meeting Rand H.) I loved just relaxing with a glass of wine and girl talk with some amazing ladies I had never met before but can't wait to hear updates on their lives =) Outback has always had their mushrooms on their "secret menu" so we always order them when we come in, they are my favorite, in a close second was the Margarita Flatbread, I love that Lindsey recognized me when I walked in and mentioned me being there for my second Elite event, she's so sweet!

Q: negative

A:
This place sucks. Don't come here. I've been sitting at the bar for 25 minutes watching the bartenders stand there and talk to each other and laughing carrying on and they still haven't even acknowledged me.
