A: Pretentious - I should have known by the name and location. The waiter actually used the phrase "You should consider getting something from the bar, we like to think of it as the engine that drives the restaurant..." This comment was obviously uttered in the pre-shift meeting, I could not believe he actually said it. The chopped salad was good (petite & tossed table side?), I ordered a microbrew and my date had an egg-white/lemon vodka drink - yeah apparently in 2011 protein is cool to mix into your cocktails. Should have asked if they had egg-beater whites instead. Both choices were interesting but not anything I would tell a friend about. Trying way too hard on the drinks in my opinion, some of the ingredients are completely unnecessary. Good luck pronouncing them or trying to pick out their flavors in your drink, you'll be baffled. Entree for me was the lamb burger ($14ish) medium, it was easily med-rare and not spectacular. Came with some pretty excellent french fries and some pickled rare vegetables (rutabaga? pickled rutabaga. yes, it exists.). Date ordered scallops which were a bit chewy, not melty like the mid-$20 price tag would have indicated. If you are trying to impress someone, you can try to go here and maybe you'll fare better...we might have just ordered the wrong things? Tab was about $80 for two drinks, an appetizer, and two entrees. Boooo. Booked the reservation on Yelp, bonus!

A: My boyfriend and I came to Las Vegas last weekend for my 21st birthday and we stayed at the Palazzo for two nights and then Aria for Sunday night. Compared to the Palazzo, the Aria was a complete disappointment. I actually never wanted to stay here but my boyfriend insisted so I agreed to a night of it. I'm semi-glad I agreed because he never wants to come back here. Glad he got that out of his system. I'd have to say Aria's problem was that they tried too hard. They wanted to be trendy and innovative but I'd have to say that was the cause of their demise because it failed. Hotel Layout: I'd have to say idiots designed this hotel. The floor layout looked like an X (a V and an upside down V connected). There is only one elevator at the center and about 50-100 rooms on each arm. Ice is only located on one side of each V and there is no way to get to the other side except to walk all the way back to the elevators. My boyfriend and I happened to get the second to last room and it was literally a 15 minute walk back and forth from the elevator. Room: Seeing as how we stayed in Palazzo and all the rooms are suites, this room literally seemed like I was staying in a box. I haven't stayed in any of the other 3+ star hotels with normal hotel rooms so I don't know the space compares to those. Bathroom: They tried to be innovative and trendy by putting this glossy looking door to the toilet up but you could see through it! They might as well not have had the door because in order to have your privacy, you had to close the actual bathroom doors and then the toilet door. -Tub: Small, my boyfriend could barely fit in there by himself. And also very strange! They had the shower and tub behind the same door. I'm guessing it was their solution to saving space because otherwise the bathroom was pretty tiny. Bedroom: Instead of light switches, you have buttons. But i'd have to say I'd rather use light switches because they're at least responsive. The buttons didn't always turn on the lights. It was almost like a casino game. Sometimes you'd get lucky and they'd turn on, sometimes they wouldn't. But the goodnight button that turns off all the lights always worked! -Bed: My boyfriend preferred Aria's bed to Palazzo's because it was softer. I agree but I like tougher beds so I preffed Palazzo. One annoying thing about Aria's bed though was how they made it. The covers went underneath the pillows. They give you like 6 pillows and if you're sitting on the bed, you have to get up, throw the pillows on the floor, in order to untuck the covers and get underneath. Television: I liked how their television had a guide. Palazzo's didn't and it was kind of annoying have to search through every single channel (especially since I don't know what the channel numbers in Las Vegas correspond to). Safe: Small, all I could fit in the safe was a laptop and a sunglass case. They put it inside a drawer so it's really shallow and small. Cool Things: Door Lock: You flash your card in front of the door look to open it. No need to insert. TV: You can turn on the lights, air conditioning, music all through the tv!

A:
There are two employees worth a damn in this entire state-of-the-art facility: John and Ramona. That is it. (David also is an upstanding employee, but seldom has any shifts; additionally, there is a great supe that works really, really late-night [short, Caucasian, portly, goatee], but I never caught his name.) Most everyone else treats you like you are a scamming gypsy, even when they are the ones actually doing the scamming. In fact, John and David do not even technically work for RTC, but instead for the subcontractor that runs the Bike Centre. In any case, some of the things I have been directly deprived due to the Bonneville Transit Center's incompetence: - an entire month pass (value: 65$); - a Motobecane Cafe Latte (value: ~900$); and, - my patience on countless occasions (value: unquantifiable). Pro tips: There are electrical sockets you can use if you need a charge. They are located inside and outside: inside, in the column in between benches, outside they are on two columns on the island. As of this writing, the sockets inside have been purposefully disconnected; There is no point in calling the CS help desk line. It takes an hour to get through and they won't help anyway; and, There is probably no safer place in all of DLV -- besides, perhaps, Container Park -- so, if you feel unsafe or fearful here, you may have a paranoia-based cognitive disorder, and you should schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience. Don't take the bus to your appointment though, as it may take too long.
