Problem: Lovely interior but average to below avg. food and definitely over-priced for the quality of the dishes. This was my second time at Brio - first time was lunch and food was fine (Strawberry/Chicken salad) but service (for 2) was terrible! It took 40 min. & 2 inquiries after ordering to receive the salads. At the time I thought, while the salads were good (not great or unique) it wasn't worth the wait or the high prices, though the restaurant itself is lovely. Also, I had to ask for a table that wasn't next to the loud clanging of the open kitchen so my friend & I could talk without shouting. So, 8 mos. later my 17 yr. old wants to celebrate his birthday where? Yup - table for 5, dinner, please! I will say the server was very nice & very accommodating. However, once again we found ourselves seated right next to the open kitchen & we were told all the tables for 5 were by the kitchen - so we shouted over the din (restaurant was only 1/2 full?). So, with entrees from $18.95 - 23.95 we opted for the "Dinner Special" an all-inclusive 3 course meal (3 entrees to choose from) for $16.95 ea., (beverage extra) and the ravioli appetizer. The appetizer was delicious - only 4 large ravioli for $14.95 though and the Chicken Milanese ordered by 3 of our 5 was enjoyed. I tasted it and it was good. My choice, the penne diavolo w/chicken tasted like spicy cheesy-Mac with tomato sauce mixed in - not great at all. Our other guest had the strawberry-chicken salad and enjoyed that. However, it was agreed that basically it's Olive Garden at twice the price in a better neighborhood. If you want authentic, true delicioso Italian food I recommend Roma Garden - same prices, not a pretty neighborhood but mamma mia, it's authentic! Or any other favorite place you love for Italian - Brio is not for foodies or anyone who wants to talk at a meal.

Problem: Ehh, not bad for a chain burger. I think what I enjoyed the most was the value - practically every sandwich is under $4 (not the meal) and yet is a decent size. The taste is kind of there and I like how they have a person that goes around with a condiment tray (spicy ketchup, regular ketchup, bbq sauce, picante salsa). Really, the biggest improvement to the burger would be meltier cheese. The beef patty could use a tad more seasoning and the bun is about as exciting as Kristen Stewart's facial expressions. With that said, I did have a blast assembling this tasty combination that I shall call The Whatafatass: Bacon cheeseburger + Whatachicken + french fries + picante salsa & spicy ketchup.

Problem: Hotel is ok, rooms big but that's about it. Only one tiny trashcan in the room, which is important because they try to steal every dollar from you at every turn. Resort fee pays for two water bottles and access to the pool, and but dont try to bring water with you to the pool, you have to buy it from the pool vendor. And the lazy river isn't part of the resort fee, and you have to buy a tube. Food is horribly overpriced, and we quickly filled the tiny trash in the room with food wrappers from the grocery store. No fridge in room either, but bring an ice chest (free ice). Suffice it to say, I we will never stay here again and will recommend others don't either.

Problem: Food was amazing until my brother got sick. Called them about it since he started throwing up heavily 40 min after we left the restaurant. I called them and they said they would call me back. They never did I am a big fan of Michele Mina restaurants, have been to all of them numerous times. This was my first time at American fish. Although the food tastes good, it's not worth ruining your Vegas trip over it!
