Problem: El Rancho is not just a market...it's almost like a food village. As soon as you walk in, you're confronted with the hussle and bussle of people moving about, ordering food from one of the many stalls, and eating nicely priced burritos, meats, and desserts. I've been here twice and it's just a fun place to visit, like Christy T. said. There's just so much energy in here and some great aunthentic food that is quick to go! There's a yummy juice stand inside that sells a variety of aguas frescas and they even have homemade ice-creams, which unfortunately I couldn't try because they were cleaning up for the day and everything was already put away... This is also one of the cleanest Mexican supermarkets I have ever seen....it's like the AJ's of Hispanic markets... with neatly placed products on every shelf. I'll upload pictures soon so you can get a peek. El Rancho is definitely more than your ordinary supermarket.... it's an EXPERIENCE!

Problem: This was my first time going to EDC and I didn't feel prepared even after reading tons of reviews and blogs. The festival was great...getting there another story. Having EDC in Las Vegas was awesome, however it also brings in 300,000+ plus people to the city, creating a cluster wherever you go. I had a one day pass to EDC and purchased a one day shuttle pass from some separate party bus/shuttle group from my hotel. Some of the travel timing was partially our fault (for leaving so late), but the shuttle line was about about an hour wait. Getting on the shuttle to the motorway took another hour. About 2 hours travel time, so plan on allotting 2 hours to get there! Once we arrived my Canadian friends were told they had to get into a separate line for "International" ID check, leaving me all alone. Everyone in my line kept budging...pushing forward until they eventually cut in front of you. (Damn, can't we all be adults here?) This line checks your ID, pats you down slightly and then checks inside your bag, then you're free to go. They scan your ticket separately before entering the motorway. Once inside, you're thrown into visual bliss - everything is lit up and you're transported into bass bumping heaven. I was in awe to see the entire set up, as I walked down the steps into the motorway. It was insane to see how many people were there! The crowd seemed very mature and everyone was so respectful, it was nothing I have ever experience at any show. The DJs were awesome and the sound systems were great. I can't complain about the crowd size because everyone was there for the same reason, but it was hard to maneuver when a huge DJ was on. The garbage everywhere made it hard to dance and the cell phone reception was awful (so don't lose any of your friends). The maps were set up super far from each other, so it was hard to figure out where to go and where you were. Port-a-potties were set up in a bathroom area and the lines were not long. Water station was nice and convenient to get to and again no lines. If I ever go again I would do this the second time around: - Leave 2 hours before the first DJ I want to see. - Have a drink when I arrive (or take one into the shuttle with me). - Wear a fun colorful costume! - Take a screen shot of the map from the website on my phone, so you can see where to go. (I couldn't pull this up, due to bad reception.) - Take a screen shot of the DJ set from the website, so I know who I want to see and when. - Bring back my Insomniac water bottle so I can use it at the refill station. - Bring a freakin' cardigan because you never know if the wind is going to pick up at 5am and you're in a bikini! All in all, a great experience!

Problem: My experience at this Portillo's was 10x better than at the N. Scottsdale location. Maybe they learned from that opening? But I found the quality to be much better. We must have missed the dinner rush because I quickly found a parking spot and there wasn't a wait to order. We walked in and they had some workers out in the ordering area taking pre-orders. I decided to try the italian beef sandwich and the boy got the italian sausage sandwich and a chili dog. We shared an order of fries. You order and then walk down the ways to wait for your order to be called. It took about 5 minutes to get our food (fast - too fast?) We got our condiments and dug in. I really liked my sandwich, get it with the hot peppers if you're into it. The fries were crisp and perfectly salted. My one complaint is that the sandwich was probably sitting so some of the bread was soggy. My bf thought the hot dog was okay. In my opinion all hot dogs are "okay" unless we're talking about Short Leash so take that with a grain of salt. We ended with a chocolate cake shake that my boyfriend hadn't yet experienced the delights of - he tried to drink it all so that's that. I'll be back

Problem: Sushi places are a dime a dozen in this town, and in my mission to try them all, I met a friend at Stingray for happy hour. The food was decent. I've certainly had better. The las vegas roll was a little heavy on the rice and tempura. The drinks were exceptionally good. I had the asian blonde, which is lychee and champagne, can't go wrong there. My friend's drink was something with raspberries and rose water. It was amazing. All that being said, the service was awful. Once our food was delivered our waitress disappeared. I got one refill on my water, and considering that I drink water like its going out of style, this is completely unacceptable. My empty glass sat on the edge of the table for the remainder of dinner. Once we were done eating, we couldn't get the bill, as our waitress was still missing. Some 20+ minutes after we were completely done eating she appeared again, and we requested the bill. Once the bill arrived, it took the waitress an additional 15 to 20 minutes to come pick it up. It was taking so long that I actually held the bill and credit cards up and out past the edge of the table, hoping someone passing by would offer to take it, or atleast offer to send our waitress over. Busboys went by, the hostess went by several times, other waitresses went by, the manager even went by, and they all pretended like they didn't see me holding the bill. I've never had such a difficult time trying to get someone to take my money; it was truly infuriating. Stingray is definitely getting crossed off my list. I don't have time for bad service.
