A: This was my fist triathlon as a participating athlete....I have watched several in the past including a couple Iron Man races. Each time I have been impressed by the energy level of both the participants and their supporters. But I can now say with absolute certainty that everything looks ALOT easier from the sidelines. ESPECIALY THE SWIM. The open water swim with people all on top and around and underneath each other is enough to make someone hyperventalate, freak the fuk out, and almost give up immediately. Oh wait, did I just admit that out loud? Seriously, RED ROCK CO. realy did put on a fantastic event...and it obviously could not happen with out the help of all the volunteers. It was amazing how well marked the course was and in any tight spot where there might have been ambiguity to which way the racer goes....there was always a volunteer vocally directing traffic. There was always a volunteer ready with a bottle of water/gatorade or cup of coke, there was always a volunteer holding an extra pack of GU and ALWAYS a participant or yet another volunteer ready with encouraging words. Alot of people go out there to seriously compete but that certainly didnt stop them from giving a little praise or words of encouragement to those of us that needed it. A fabulous event all around with an equally fabulous group of volunteers and participants.....

A: I am reviewing the salon on their formal hair and makeup services. I made the mistake of using them on my wedding day as I was getting married in the Stratosphere. Boy did I make a huge and EXPENSIVE mistake! This place is SHADY on their pricing!! Be very careful!! I received a very nice massage which I would give a different review for. After I was supposed to get my hair done. The masseuse advised me that I did not have to wash my hair if I did not want to, since dirty hair styles better. And she gave me the heads up that they charge an extra $55 for just the wash!!! Then she came back in to the room and let me know that the hair stylist wanted her to make sure she got extra massage oil in my hair forcing me to have to wash it so he could charge me the $55!! How shady is that?? So, I did opt to wash my hair and was going to deal with the charge...it was my wedding day and people had smoked around me the night before. Then the stylist (who stunk of cigarette smoke himself) charged me for long hair...when I clearly have mid-length hair. I'm not asking for an up-do. Just some curls with a hair pin on one side. Not a complicated hairstyle. So now I'm being charged $225 for this. Again...I deal, bc it's a couple hours before my wedding and I don't want to argue. He puts the curlers in, takes them out, brushes my hair, pins up the one side with my barrettes, sprays it and it's done! All this for $225!! The curls were gone and my hair was flat 45 minutes after I left the salon!! And he didn't even give me a nice blow-out so when my curls flopped I was left with unfinished hair. My friend had to come with a curling iron and fix it...and her curls lasted the entire day! Now the makeup...if you want to look like a cheap and trashy stripper then this is the place to get your makeup done...otherwise stay away. The cosmetologist was quoting for services $10 over what the menu stated. She barely looked at the picture that I brought in and did not try at all to copy the style. I'm a red head and she used black powder on my eyebrows!! And they weren't even!! My fiance saw me as I rushed into our hotel room with tears in my eyes in horror of my appearance...and he would be the type to reassure me if I was just being critical. He looked at me and shook his head, and said "Oh My God, what did she do to your face!" The same friend who saved my hair with the curling iron ended up redoing my makeup. I barely made it to the chapel in time and I was so upset the whole day. I think they hear "Wedding" and use it as an opportunity to gauge you. And the level of their ability doesn't match what you are paying for.
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: I was disappointed when I headed over to the restaurant formerly known as Common House and discovered it was now a burger joint. It's OK, I thought, Common House turned out some pretty good burgers in its day. So I decided to give it a chance. I won't make that mistake again. First, the menu: Everything has some kind of bike-ish name, except for the cocktails, which are all named after old movie stars (and Clint Eastwood). I don't really get it. We decided to start with the cheese fries, which came with a healthy topping of queso I'm guessing came from Loco Lime next door and a sparse sprinkling of bacon and green onions. The fries themselves are pretty solid and the bacon isn't bad, but fries + cheese sauce = a soggy mess. Next came our burgers. I got a plain cheeseburger and my friend got the stuffed burger. My burger was dry and kind of tasteless. My friend said his burger was overwhelmed by the horseradish mayo and that the stuffing wasn't anything but a gimmick. As for our sides, the fries, again, were pretty good. I got the combo tater tots. The regular tots were fine--nothing special--but the sweet potato tots dipped in the maple butter sauce... It's the first time in my life I've ever wanted to spit something out a restaurant. It's a combination of flavors that just don't work and the tots themselves have an odd texture. There's nothing at Kickstand you can't get elsewhere--and better--at all the other burger bars in Charlotte. There's nothing about this place that has me coming back for seconds.

Output: I came here recently for dinner with a friend. The place is pretty small, so the line was out the door at 8pm on a Saturday night. We ordered the shrimp burger to share; I ordered the tuna and salmon bowl as my entree. I can definitely see why the shrimp burger is such a popular item -- the shrimp patty was seasoned perfectly and the accompanying mayo was delicious! My half of the burger had a little too much bun, but overall it was flavorful enough that I didn't mind. The tuna and salmon bowl was a hefty portion: tuna and salmon tartare on a bed of rice with crispy rice noodles, lettuce and some pickled veggies. Loved it! Definitely a welcome change to all the French cuisine. Note: cash only. -L.

output: Yes, a burger is a burger and a french fry is a french fry but when you are in a hurry and you are searching for something fast and delicious all at the same time smash burger just has something special that meets that criteria every time I go there. You feel like you are at a nicer place than something like a burger king and the quality of the burgers backs that claim. We ordered a blue cheese and truffle burger as well as the burger with an egg, bacon, and onion straws and man oh man they were both on point. Paired with the fries tossed in olive oil, garlic and rosemary you cannot go wrong. We ordered, ate our food and got out within 25 minutes which was perfect for the schedule we happened to be on. This is definitely a go to now whenever we are in a hurry and want to grab an amazing burger for a fair price that is not in a drive thru under some yellow hue arches..

A:
We were hoping this show would be more like STOMP which is a clever percussion group playing household and recycled items with different rhythms and sounds. Sadly, it was not. It was mainly two drummers who actually played their instruments well and the other two, guitarist and keyboard player who pretended to do so. There were times they had their hands over their heads clapping while the sounds of their instruments were playing ... LOL. So, it was definitely pre-recorded. A few times the main drummer would go into monologues (time fillers) that were uninspiring, though he tried to be. At the end of the show, he gives another chat about ol' high school days when "tongues touched tongues". Most of the audience were young kids and parents, family-based. So, some of his commentary was inappropriate. The skit with the guests on stage was long and boring. All in all, if the show was kept to decent music making and less talk, it would have lasted only 45 minutes. It was 90 minutes. I guess you can't leave Vegas without going to at least one cheezy show. And, this was it.
