A: There are pros and cons between this location and the one back in NY. And I'll tell ya fo' sho'! This location has much nicert waiters, fo' sho'. I had two waiters: Brenda and Ryan. Brenda was sweet, and then Ryan took over. Ryan looks EXACTLY like Ryan Cabrera when he had his blond spikes. I named him Ryan throughout the entire time, and what do you know, his name really is Ryan. Hey, maybe I can be his Ashlee, but we all know how that went. The pizza was not as good, it fell apart as soon as I took a piece and it wasn't as crispy. Fondue is always as good, and as usual, my marshmallows were caught on fire several times. As long as my food is edible, I'm good. And I must say, I've never had so much fun with chocolate until now. I was making splatters and drawing with chocolate, being a kid is good again. Ryan (Cabrera) and Brenda checked up on us a few times. Nicest waiters ever. And I bet you Ryan plays guitar and rock music.

Q: negative

A: "Meh. I've experienced better." As in, I've experienced LUXOR better a few years ago! There are too many elevators in weird not-obvious places to get to your room. Rooms need a fresh coat of paint and an update on the decor and the TVs are from 1995. Rusty bathroom fixtures and water-stained curtains. And the iron was a piece of shit that leaked smelly water all over the place. When we finally got it working, it took two hands: one to hold down the steam button and one to iron. So naturally, one shirt took close to 30 minutes to complete. Also, room service is not nice enough (most places, but apparently not Luxor, justify the extra $ you pay for the service by providing really good ingredients in their meals). On the plus side, the water pressure in the shower is STRONG. I could stay in there all day.

Q: positive

A: So delicious, I would go there every morning if it was closer to me. My Favs: Breakfast Buzz, Chai Tea Latte, Breakfast burro, my gosh I don't think it is possible to go wrong here. Everyone I have shared D'lish with ends up addicted.

A:
Meh. That sums up my opinion of Nu Sanctuary. I've mistakenly given it many chances over the last year since their grand opening, and each time has been essentially the same experience. Exhibit A: Excited to try the new venture of it's managers formerly of Almaza - my favorite place to get drunk back in the day when I was underage and rebellious - I came to Nu with a couple friends. After being seated, we waited *twenty five* minutes without being greeted by our server before finally flagging down the manager and saying, "Hey, WTF man?". Although a server came by after that, the service left a lot to be desired as our server preferred to sit with a table in our view a couple spots away, flirting with the male patrons rather than check on us or see if we wanted to order anything more. The meal was mediocre, it took forever to get our drinks, and the service left me not only disappointed but actually a little upset. Exhibit B: This time the service was a little bit better, although still very sub-par when compared not only to other hookah spots and lounges, but other bars in the same area of Town Square. She actually checked on us - once every twenty minutes, maybe. However what this review is really about is the quality of their hookah - they had raised prices since the last time I'd visited, and anywhere in Vegas charging $30 for a head of hookah that only lasts 15 minutes before getting tasteless and harsh, can suck it. Apparently their prices are now $20 for a head and $10 for refills, which is moderate, but unless they've changed the hookah I've never had it last long enough to be worth the $. From my experience, it's either love or hate. I've never met anyone to say that Nu was "okay" - but have certainly heard my sentiments echoed by many of my friends after their own terrible experiences (one friend, after making reservations a week in advance, was forced to wait 45 minutes for a table. Wtf.) - as well as a few friends who love the place and visit frequently. Give it a shot if you're in the area and the many other bars/lounges in Town Square aren't your cup of tea. But don't order their hookah, stick to appetizers and drinks, and don't expect stellar service.
