A: #1 Bros. is our local pizza joint and I'm an ex-NYer and we just love this place. The family is so nice, just like one of the last commenters...they guys will chat with us about sports or just whatever. They are so friendly and I love their food. They have great pizza, antipasto salad and I love their eggplant parmesan sub. It's a great place for a quick slice or to take the family. I love that it is family owned and operated and it shows!

A: The following is a portion of the letter I wrote to the hotel: The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention my unfortunate experience with the hotel during my stay from 9/92011 through 9/10/11. When my fiance' and I decided to marry in Las Vegas there was no doubt in my mind where we would be residing and having the My wedding trip (of all trips), however, would mar my image of the resort. Tthe suite they provided us (29-335) left a lot to be desired. The decor was old, dirty and run-down. Nothing like what I recalled of the Venetian's quality reputation. We were both tired and anxious as our big day was scheduled for the following day (9/10/11) and we didn't want to lug back to the front desk to request another room as we still had phone calls to make and our garments needed to get to the cleaners. While taking a shower, I discovered a large lump of long hair in the corner of the shower (please see attached photo). I was disgusted but too tired to deal with housekeeping as it was approaching midnight. The next morning I called housekeeping and asked to have the shower and tub thoroughly cleaned. I also asked to have the floors vacuumed since discovery of the hair prompted me to note the overall cleanliness of the room. There were marks on the walls, doors and the ceiling. The couch was filthy and there was no soap in the guest bathroom. Nonetheless, housekeeping apologized and agreed to have it corrected while we were out for the day. When I returned to the room at approximately 2 p.m., the hair was still in the shower. I couldn't believe it. I called housekeeping again and requested they attend to it immediately. However, by the time they responded we were dressing for the ceremony and agreed to return after we were done. I would have been better off staying in a regular suite and paying less money. On several occasions leaving the room and seeing the suites that were being cleaned on my floor, I noticed the furniture and the ambience at a much more suitable "Venetian" level. My only conclusion for the room I was given is that I booked through Hotels.com. Otherwise, why would you give someone who requested a larger sized suite (who also booked a wedding at the hotel) a crummy, nasty, dirty suite? Is it standard practice to provide guests with less quality (and cleanliness) if they book outside of the hotel? To make matters worse, upon returning to the suite along with my wedding guests, we found the ice bucket's top had mold/mildew growing in it (see attached photo). I was embarrassed as one of my guests noticed it. I could have called down and complained or requested another room at this point as I had more than enough reason to, but it was not fair to me or my guests to have to stop celebrating my big day to complain. I shouldn't have been put in that position. All guests should expect, at the very least, a clean room. It should be the Venetian's priority to ensure that customers stay in sanitary living quarters as a result of ensuring that staff has thoroughly completed their jobs. If a guest complains about the cleanliness, I would think that the hotel would quickly remedy the problem and ensure that there are no other sanitary issues within the room. I complained to Christina and Janson at the front desk when I checked out on Sunday, 9/11/11. They took notes, appeared to be concerned and stated they would advise management and send me a customer satisfaction survey. I did not receive the survey until 9/14/11 and it states "there will be no direct response to feedback as the survey and comments are handled by a third party". Really? That's what your customer service has reduced my satisfaction and my patronage to? I have no intentions on staying at the Venetian again. I also intend on yelping my experience. Times are rough and when people spend their hard earned money to vacation, they expect what you guys have gotten away from...no stress, no worries, good customer service and a CLEAN room! I invite you to visit room 29-335, look at the condition of this suite compared to the smaller suites on that floor and ask yourself if you would pay more money to stay there. The whole situation is despicable!

A: This place was ok. I was hoping to be wowed since people really seem to like it. It was a little pricey for what it is. We ordered the chips with the salsa flight. We paid the $6 for the refillable chips (which I think just is silly, seriously, if every other place in AZ can give me free chips, you should, too. Charge me for the salsa flight, sure, but chips and your average pico de gallo really can't be breaking the bank for you.) We wound up not even getting a chip refill so that was a waste (we just couldn't eat that many chips). The pico was average, the other two were pretty decent. Husband ordered the carne asada tacos. They were pretty good. The tortillas had a nice bit of char on them which was good and nice big slices of avocado which was nice. I ordered the grilled steak salad. Pass. There were three tomatoes in it, literally one chunk of avocado and it really was a tiny salad for what I paid. The steak on top was pretty good but all the other elements were so scant it really wasn't worth it. The Sonoran margarita was pretty good. The house ones were just average. Overall, I wouldn't come back most likely for full price but may come back for happy hour.

A:
Only been once... won't be back. I really really really wanted some fish tacos and they are fairly close so we tried it out. We eat out with our baby a lot (she is under one) so we go at odd hours (to annoy less people), so keep that in mind (they probably didn't have their A game on). Drinks were meh and the tacos were AWFUL. I feel like I would have been better off going to taco bell (they don't have fish tacos but I would have felt more satisfied by eating their bad Mexican food than I did by eating Tex Tubb's fish tacos). I consulted with the waiter about my fish tacos (you have four options) and decided to try the Achiote Tilapia, Fried Catfish and Marinated Shrimp. Shrimp was overcooked, the Tilapia was ... well, the Achiote seasoning is all burn and no flavor, but it's not even that hot! (and it's on almost everything on the menu, which is why I'm not excited to give them another try) The Catfish was the best but that isn't saying much. Service was pretty good though!
