A: Had the worst experience ever! I booked my suite over a month ahead of time for my boyfriend's bday celebration. We arrived on a Friday and checked in at 2:45pm. At check In they said our room would not be ready until 5pm! I had dinner reservations and had to get ready. We killed time by getting something to eat. We came to check up at 4pm to see if our room was ready or to request a new room. According to them everything was book. After 10 minutes they claimed our room was ready. We rushed to our room to find the door wide open and a maid still cleaning the floor which had a big spilled wine looking stain on it. We had to wait an additional 20 minutes outside. After we walked in we both took our shoes off and walked right over the stain and the carpet was soaked!. We immediately went downstairs and switched us to another room (I was told 30 minutes before that everything else was booked!!) Once we got our other room we only had a 1 person Jacuzzi, not a 2 person Jacuzzi just how it states on their website, the living room was full of crumbs and there were ashes in the front rest room with garbage on the floor, the upholstered chairs had huge dark, nasty stains on them and our view sucked. We were already too exhausted to go complain again so we waited until the following morning. After I spoke to the manager they had no other room to switch us into so they sent up maids to address the issues and they replaced our chairs. The manager claimed and admitted that their hotel is in desperate need of renovations which actually will be started next year. The sofa was extremely stained and we found baby toys and so much garbage under the cushions. By the 2nd day the rest room stopped working. Wifi does not work! You get no cell phone reception in your rooms! Our drinks took 1 day and a half to finally cool in the mini fridge. The room is really dark and the 3 lamps they have in there barely give you lighting. The wet bar area has plenty of lightning but does not extend to the living room. One lamp in living room makes no difference at all. On a plus side room service was fast, maids cleaned up restrooms and made our bed really well during our stay. The manager at the front desk was really helpful and quick to solve the issues we found in our room but I felt like half the time I was in Vegas I was at the front desk complaining about a new issue I found. Having paid for a "suite" I was really surprised of the condition of the room it was in and all the issues it had with it. I did not use their pool or gym but the buffet was good and the casino area was good and plenty availability for slot machines and tables. I would not go back there again.

A: Business lunch with a party of 10. Each of us ordered something different, and everyone either loved or liked their entree (all were $11-15 range). I was the least impressed with a too-tough corned beef Reuben and unevenly cooked fries. But I just ate the ones that were cooked well and took off some of the toughest meat and was just fine with that! But we need to talk desserts....several raves on the creme brulee, several more for the lemon cake, and everyone who had the ginger ice creme sandwich or the brownie thing were fans. The service was attentive and the views were amazing.

A: Time to get crafty...crafty and buzzed. Las Vegas has really come a long way since the days of only catering to the tourist. I mean there's over two million people now living permanently in the Valley...so move over loud "woo-hooing" bachelorette parties and all L.A. peeps who claim they run the strip (even though they only visit twice a year) the locals have officially reclaimed their city and I couldn't be happier. The craft beer mushroom cloud is slowly rising over Las Vegas and Bad Beat Brewing will definitely be apart of that boom. The main tasting room is a little plain on the inside, but very clean. There are multiple tables to sit and sip at; along with a dart board, giant bean bag chair accompanied by a TV, and a classic Nintendo game system. They have anywhere from 7 to 13 different beers on tap depending on the season, but just like any hop-headed thirsty young buck I ordered a flight to help me decide on that final pint. The flights come in groups of 5 unless you want to just try all their beers on tap which would make it 7. I chose to do this and was very "hoppy" with my decision; all the beers were great with exception of their sour ale. This one didn't really sit well me, but I don't like sours anyway so don't let that sway your decision to at least have a sip. I tried a good chunk of their beers during my visit, but I'm just going to focus on my favorites, the "Ante Up" was delicious with a super smooth flavor, very light golden brown color, and didn't leave me feeling full. This is a beer that I could easily drink over the course of a few hours while watching football. My other favorite was the "Gutshot", this beer has a very menacing black color resembling that of a Guinness, which would make sense because this is a dry Irish Stout. This beer looked very hoppy with a think foamy head on it, but it was actually insanely smooth with no bitter after taste. It was a little on the heavy-side and belongs in the "session beer" category in my opinion. This is one glass of beer that will go a long way...get me a nipple please because I'm sippin'! Bad Beat Brewing is great and I have very high hopes for this brewery in the future. I talked with some of the owners while I was there and they have some awesome stuff planned for the next couple of months. Stay thirsty my friends.
