A: This place is really cool, you drink from glasses made of ice. We had a coupon for a free shot, keep in mind it's the "shot of the day" that you get for free. Pro-Tip .. don't put your cellphone or camera in the cubby/locker as they say you should. It's only so that they can sell you a photo they take for $20 later. Nothing bad is going to happen to your camera/cell phone at 5 degrees Celcius.

A: I've been going to Montreal at least once a year for the last 10 years and have to say this has to be one of the better clubs on St. Laurent St. I don't know how this place gets bad reviews. If you like a good time, dancing, and good stiff drinks this is the place to be. I went on a Friday night at 11pm and was let in with no cover with two female friends of mine who love to dance. The place was comfortably packed with a chill 21+crowd who all seemed to be having a good time dancing and chilling out. I can't deal with the 18+ clubs anymore. I also like that the place wasn't a vicious "sausage factory" with 20+ dudes crammed into a table service area like most of the other clubs I went to. It was the perfect ratio of males to females. It's well kept club with an great design and layout too. Who ever was the DJ, he was on fire with the music. It was a blend of top 40, hip hop, techno, 90s and 80s (such as Michael Jackson) that kept the crowd moving and cheering with approval at every perfectly timed music transition. I judge a club by how energized the crowd is, and this place makes gets asses shaking. This is especially important when factoring in the amount of smoking hot women present. The upstairs room was equally as impressive with a bigger dance area that played songs like "Poison" by Bell Biv Devoe that got the crowd jumping. The drinks at this bar weren't overpriced and had great deals like getting 10 shots for $35 of premium liquor. Not a bad deal if you ask me. I also like that they've avoided the the lame "controlled pour" machines that make your drinks taste like they barely have any alcohol in them. My friends and I were glad to find this club after going to less impressive establishment. We stayed till 3am and had a hell of a time. Definitely how a club should look and feel like.

A: HURT ON PROPERTY AND THEY DONT FOLLOW UP OR CARE:: 7 of us chose to stay at Mandalay Bay for my 40th Bday weekend. We chose to stay here as we had heard this is the best pool in Vegas. On the second morning of our trip my mother was entering the wave pool and was knocked down by the wave. There were 14 lifeguards in the pool and NOT ONE OF THEM came to her aid until I got to her and yelled for help. Had this been a child this situation could have ended much worse. From there it just got worse. She was on the verge of passing out and puking and no one acted like they knew what to do--. Eventually the fire crew and ambulance showed up and took over thank goodness. Why would you have 14 lifeguards who i observed later standing and talking to each other vs watching people in the pool. If they had came to her aid sooner the next wave may not have hit her and made her injury worse. She spent 6 nights, 7 days in the hospital and we were not contacted by the hotel once while I continued to sleep there(though not enjoying anything else since I spent most of my days at the hospital). When i went to check out I asked for a discount and to remove the resort fee charge since I was hardly there to enjoy the amenities and the answer was shockingly NO. No apology or sympathy for what my mother or I were going through. They then turned it over to Risk Managament which finally called my mom 5 days later and all I can say is they are nothing but rude. When I spoke with her she said the lifeguards are only trained to pull people from the pool and have no other training..REALLY??? she also said if she was my mothers age she wouldn't have entered that pool..but in the end they are claiming no liability...nothing offered for what she has went through. She had to spend another week in a hotel until she was mobile and had enough strength to travel back to Minnesota. They said it would take 30 days to do their investigation and there is video of the pool area. I would love to get my hands on that and prove the negligence of the pool staff. The hotel is saying they can do nothing if anything until this investigation is complete but what ever happened to people caring? is it just cause that isn't how we would treat people in the midwest?? So beware, once they have you there and get your money they don't care what happens to you. We had pool view, which i wouldn't recommend if you want any sleep. Bass and music till 1 am one morning and 3 am the next!

A:
This place is super fun. It's like a "choose-your-own-adventure" book. The main difference is you're writing the story each time you dine there. You can go there with a big group, a friend you're catching up with, or just by yourself -- it doesn't matter. When you arrive at Vapiano's the hostess/cashier will give you a swipe card. It looks like a credit card or a room key at a hotel. You use this card to order food, grab a drink at the bar, and pay at the end of your experience. The first time I dined here, my impression of the place from beginning to end was constantly changing. I went from thinking this was a uber hip bar, to a super casual place to meet a friend ... to learning at the end of my experience that Vapiano's is a place where it can be can become a different experience every single time you visit. IT'S REALLY KIND OF COOL! There's no "wallet pressure" if you come with a big group to order a dish within the same price range because you pay for "ONLY" what you order. If you're feeling casual and want an individual margarita pizza with a side salad you can get that. AND, it's made for you right there-and-then on the spot. If you want a fancy pasta dish they have that as well. The sauces are yummy and the seating is fun. You can sit by the bar and take in the "hipster" vibe, or sit outside and soak in the small city skyline, or you can sit inside at a table with fresh herbs as a centerpiece. It's really just a fun, no pressure atmosphere, with a really great bonus which is --- REALLY GOOD FOOD. You'll actually crave it a few days or weeks later. AND, since you're paying only for what you've ordered, you choose if you break the bank during the meal or not. I say go to Vapiano's not just for the food, or great drinks at the bar ... but also for the fun experience you'll have each time you go there. I hope you enjoy your experience there as much as I have! Good luck on your Vapiano's adventure!
