A: This used to be my favorite clothing store anywhere which I visited on every single trip to Vegas about twice a year. They used to carry Royal Underground, True Religion and Locman watches. However, on my most recent visit today, I found that all these brands were no longer carried and there were much less shelves and displays than before. WHAT HAPPENED??? I know that they had moved Royal Underground line to another store at the Encore, but to my surprise that store was totally gone! Anyway, I would have given this store 5 STAR rating a year or so ago, but their selection has gone down the drain. Please bring the good stuff back.

Q: negative

A: Certainly trendy in appearance by Phoenix standards but I would recommend many places downtown before The Strand. The service is the worst I have had downtown. I have dined here more than once for lunch, but will not go back. The last time I went the server brought an incorrect lunch order to me not once, but twice. (I am talking other guests' meals, not even close to my order.) I finally ended up with the correct meal after 30 minutes. Totally unacceptable, especially considering our table was only one of few occupied that afternoon. Separately, I called to inquire about catering for a corporate event. I botched the pronunciation of a word while quickly explaining my potential order to the manager. He proceeded to laugh at me on of the phone and continue to use the word incorrectly to mock me. I cannot imagine that their catering business is 'booming' so I'd suggest that their staff be a little more courteous to local patrons who are willing to give it a try.

Q: negative

A: I've been to Vegas many times & have experienced many of the clubs and this club by far is the WORST! The club space is taken by the empty huge VIP sections so there is absolutely no room for anyone else, but in the dance floor or the overcrowded bar area. What's worse than no room is their rude & disrespectful security. As I left the club one of the promoters outside begged me to go back inside to give him "credits" for showing up. That in itself shows how horrible this club is that their own promoters have to beg people to go & party there.

Q: positive

A:
I had a private dining room for breakfast. OK, it wasn't private, there was just no one else there. This was a really different place to come. Evidently, I got there after the breakfast crowd had gone and before the lunch people came. It was quite OK. A gentleman greeted me at the door and said to sit wherever I wanted. He brought a menu and said the server would be right there. After a few minutes, she hadn't come out of the kitchen yet. He asked me what I'd like to have and I asked him what the frittata of the day was. He said, "I can make you anything you want." He then gave me several options and I chose the frittata with sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese. He had brought me coffee already and the server appeared from what she was doing while he went to the kitchen to work his magic. The frittata was soon delivered along with the rye toast I requested. The toast had some house made "jam" that they made from fresh fruits. The fruits were cooked down until there was some thickness and then sweetened the server explained to me. It was more of a dipping sauce than a spread but it was very good! I finished this fine breakfast. Service was really very good. I know I caught them at a bad time as they must have been preparing for their lunch crowd. This was an excellent breakfast and I'm glad I finally got to try this place.
