Q: negative

A: Don't bother. I ordered a hot chocolate, a relatively simple affair and it tasted like hot water. I've experienced much better at Starbucks, the AMT stand at Haymarket and (gasp) Costa. That's pretty bad if all of them can beat an independent. It clearly relies on the Harry Potter tourism and doesn't need to make much of an effort. It clearly shows in the end product and service. Such a pity, as it's a lovely place inside and would be nice to sit in. But why bother giving them business with such an attitude?

Q: positive

A: Good place for the upscale shopper. The mall is multi-storied, with escalators and elevators to provide access to the different levels. Some of the stores in this patrician environment are Balenciaga, Burberry, Christian Louboutin, and Gucci.

Q: negative

A: I live right across the street from the Speedee Mart. A lot of the businesses in the plaza (and the apartments across the street) are pretty decent. So why is it, then, that I always feel like I'm just waiting to get capped when I get gas at the Speedee Mart? Maybe it's because I have been in this gas station right after a robbery (true). Maybe it's because I have been accosted by thugs and told about my "thickness" in no uncertain terms ("oooh girl, you so fine...") (sadly, this is true too). Maybe it's because the gentleman mentioned in Isa's review from 4/1 refuses to stop texting during a transaction and only makes grunting sounds when interacting with customers (I don't know if he knows any actual words). Whatever the reason, I don't even feel safe getting out of my car at this gas station. Tonight my fiance remarked, "oh, the gas truck is here refilling the pumps! Good! That means we might not get murdered tonight because there will be witnesses!" And he was joking, but only a smidgin'. There's something WRONG with this place. Just stay away. Seriously. Take my word for it.

Q: positive

A:
Is there any place better than this? Sorry, silly rhetorical question. Unquestionably the best place for beer in Las Vegas. Yes it's a $15 cab ride from the strip for tourists like me, but folks trust me, if you are a beer nut like me, this is the place for you!! Look for great coupons at couponsinlasvegas.com (free tacos and bonus on straight flush! Maybe, I shouldn't tell others about this and keep this great bar all to myself. Goose Island, Sculpin, Dubhe all on draft! Great selection of bitter beers for a bitter guy like me! P.S. This is my favorite spot for breakfast! (Beer that is!)
