Q: Originally planned to go to Baguette Cafe during lunch break but it was closed due to renovation so the girls & I decided to come here instead. It was my first time & I loved it! Ordered the Manager's Special Combo & got Tomato Soup & half Papa Joe Sandwich. I love the fact that the soup had chunks of tomato in it and just the right amount of cheese. T'was delicious indeed. My soup stayed warm the whole time, too! Seriously! Truly appreciated during this weird, humid, cloudy Vegas day. The Papa Joe sandwich was a perfect pair! Focaccia bread was fresh and toasted. The turkey, asiago, pesto, roasted tomatoes and mayo just blended well together. Mayo was subtle, there were more pesto and tomatoes. No complaints there! The portions were adequate considering you get chips as well. I was stuffed! But not too stuffed for ice cream cause there's free soft serve! Yum! Definitely coming back to try other things on the menu. :)

Q: I booked a tour to the Grand Canyon with a stop at the Hoover Dam through Groupon, about 6 weeks in advance. Everything about this tour was awful other than the sites themselves. The company seriously overbooked, sending out 12 buses of 56 people within 60 minutes of each other. The center where you check in has space for no more than 60 people at most, so we were made to stand in the parking lot like cattle going to slaughter, for almost an hour. When someone complained, a staff person told them they did not understand group travel. Because the buses were so late departing, we missed a rest stop and spent over 3 hours on the bus before lunch, which was at a buffet that had run out of food. We arrived at the Grand Canyon with less than 90 minutes before it was dark. It then took over an hour to locate all of the people in our group, and we spent 4 hours traveling back to Vegas. Our dinner stop was at a gas station with a Subway shop staffed by 2 people. The entire day was 18 hours long, for 90 minutes at the Grand Canyon. When I wrote to the company to ask for a refund, they replied that it is very busy in Vegas at this time of year, and we did not understand the implications of that. Interestingly, we have had exceptional service everywhere else in Vegas in spite of the crowds. This company is simply very poorly managed and just out to make as much as money as possible without any concern for the safety and satisfaction of their guests. Do not book with them, period.

Q: Sad to say the binding job they did on the floors was not good at all because it didn't last for more then a couple months. It was like pulling teeth to get the owners wife back out to work in the binding problems. Then when she did come, she was so rude. We are still having problems with binding and unraveling and the owner won't return or calls. I guess you get what you pay for...

Q: Every detail was covered, from a rich broth of miso soup with clams to lovely service from a friendly server. He was really informative and helped us pick through the menu. The interior is contemporary Japanese and beautiful. And the food was fantastic. We had a tasty hamachi sashimi with jalapeno slices. I've had this dish at other places but Nobu slices the jalapenos paper thin and dresses the fish in a fantastic sauce. Their rendition also includes a cilantro leaf and I'm a huge fan of the herb. Great balance of flavors and quality of fish. Tuna sashimi salad. This is a mountain of crisp salad with the sashimi draped around the base. It's a little technically difficult to eat because I wasn't sure how to get it all in one bite. But the salad was delicious and the tuna was, of course, amazing. Blue fin toro with caviar. I think toro needs to be eaten as sashimi/nirigi or over rice as chirashi. Mincing it up seems wrong. And the highlight was the lobster spiced dish with seven spices and liberal amounts of clarified butter. Holy Gawd!! This was fantastic!! It was an explosion of flavors in your mouth and utterly, indescribably delicious. They split the lobster lengthwise in half, cook the meat in large chunks, and then place it back into the shell. It makes for a beautiful presentation yet the tender chunks of meat are easy to remove and eat. Interestingly, I've been to other Nobu restaurants and the menu is strikingly similar. I don't know why, but that seems odd.
