Sentiment analysis: I'm not from Chicago, never been to Chicago (although it's near the top of the list) and never heard of Portillo's before it opened up in Scottsdale, so I'd say I'm pretty unbiased. Tried the italian with sweet and hot peppers and gotta say: it was damn good. I might get it with extra gravy next time because it might have been a little dry, but other than that the meat was great, the peppers were great, the bread was great. My gf had the chili cheese dog and she was impressed. The place is packed, but things move along rather quickly. I have a feeling this is the kind of place I'll be craving.

Sentiment analysis: Upon first entering you can tell this is a very nice hotel. Staff is courteous and welcoming, the decor in the lobby is gorgeous, there is a nice bar and a gorgeous chandelier that sets a very posh and sophisticated tone in the atmosphere. For the price of the rooms, however, I was a bit disappointed. It just didn't WOW me like I was hoping. The rooms were large but had a lot of wasted space and didn't seem laid out very well. Our room was on the third floor, but we had to take the elevator down from the lobby, which is on the 5th floor, because the building is built into the side of a hill. Main entrance and ground floor on one side is actually towards the top of the other side! Because of this the view from our window wasn't great and it made the room quite dark. We actually couldn't even really get to/see out of our window because the backboard was like a wall that blocked off about 5 feet of the window...it was just very odd. It seems like they tried, but missed the mark, when trying to make a very old building more modern (and I mean really modern, as far as the decor goes). This includes weird hallways with stairs and such that make navigating a bit difficult (especially when carrying in luggage). Also, parking is quite a ways away and is a bit of a hike, especially if you're coming with luggage, and this was another major downfall for me. While the hotel is a bit off of the main strip, it is still central located (right by Waverly Station) and within walking-distance of many tourist attractions and public transit options. So I guess that is one thing it has going for it (not that there weren't plenty of other hotels nearby, though...). Really, the only things I can say I was truly impressed with were the staff and the fee WiFi! The bathrooms were nice, as well, with a large tub and shower, but quite sterile. Honestly, I can't say I would necessarily stay here again, even though there was nothing wrong with my stay...I just don't think I would want to spend that amount of money on a room of the quality I got when I stayed here.

Sentiment analysis: I missed my calling in life. I totally should have been a burlesque dancer. So as devastated as I am about this, I'll continue to be one in my dreams and in the privacy of my own home. That being said, if I could create a dream world this would be it. Profanity, pretty people practically naked, sparkly costumes and heels, humor that makes you blush, champagne, dancing, acrobatics, great music, and one adorable secret VIP door that is a London phone booth! Like I sad before, what life should be like 90% of the time. I haven't laughed that hard in ages...probably months. My abs were hurting. I couldn't breathe. Tears were streaming down my face. It was magnificent. Another confession...when I'm at a show and they are picking audience members out...I have to be chosen. I have to be involved. Maybe it is because I'm an only child but thank heavens we were in the VIP table area right by the stage because I need interaction. It's OK, you can judge me. I judge myself sometimes. Word to the wise, some of the interaction can be mortifying so if you blush easily, stay away from the first couple of rows. But if you are a complete attention hog, you're going to want (read: must) sit in the front. Also, if you are easily offended, might not want to come here. They definitely push the envelope. I wasn't necessarily offended but certainly grossed out...mostly when Penny took the stage. Puppet sex? No, thanks. Not quite my cup of tea. (But I respect their artistic right to do so.) I never want to see a show or movie twice (What's the point?) but this one...well, this was so good that I could watch it again...and probably will.
