** AMAZING DESSERT ** = LOCATION = SWEETS RAKU is located inside a small plaza in Las Vegas Chinatown. It's located in the same plaza as RAKU (the ramen spot), but it is hard to find because they do not have any signs up. = AMBIANCE = I love the simple and clean feel to this location, white tiles, white walls, white chair, a nice display of wines, and a beautiful open kitchen where you can watch Mio Ogasawara (2013 Pastry Chef of the Year) and her assistant create the desserts right in front of you. = DESSERT = As noted by many Yelpers, their menu is edible, and I love dipping it into the raspberry sauce and devouring my edible menu after I made my selection. The 3 course Prix Fixe is $19, and you can choose the main course from the 5 choices given. Alternatively, you can choose just one dessert for $12. I ordered the Prix Fixe with Strawberry Tiramisu, each course was beautifully decorated and made in front of us. Everything is perfect and not too sweet. = NOTE = * Sharing Fee/ Split Fee is $5 * The dessert is on the light side, if you are someone that like stuff that is extremely sweet, this might not be the spot for you.

I LOVED our room but did not care for the casino. Our room faced the Bellagio fountains where we had a great view of the fountain show every night and the room itself was a mini suite decorated well with a small kitchenette huge bathrooms and two large flat screen TVs. Our room even had a large bath tub facing out the window so you could watch the Bellagio Fountains while enjoying a bath. I would say it was by far one of the nicest rooms I've stayed at while in Vegas (we've stayed at Mandalay and Aria). The balcony was the most amazing feature of our room. We had a perfect view of the Vegas strip! So some things that I did not care for: The Casino was small. On a busy night all the tables were filled, i had to go to Aria or Bellagio to gamble. There's no poker room here either. The registration/valet desk was on the complete opposite side of the property so we had to walk across the whole Casino every time we went anywhere. Would I stay at the Cosmo again, yes probably because the room was awesome but I think I would rather stay at Aria because of its larger casino and its central to a lot more things.

Well, I've gone back to Federico's several times since my last review and they seem to have improved. Thank God that RUDE lady doesn't appear to be working there anymore, that's a plus! Service is much better and even though the Monday-thru-Wednesday price of the tacos has gone up from $0.99 to $1.25, I still gotta have 'em, they're too good! The flavor of their red sauce has changed for the better, and I like it more than the green sauce now. If I could knock 'em on anything, I'd say that the restaurant needs to invest in a good salad spinner because the lettuce is way too freakin wet. I like that fresh lettuce on my tacos, but I've had to start ordering it on the side or forgoing it altogether. I'd prefer that they just make it right. I absolutely can't stand opening my box to find my once-crispy tacos swimming in water and sauce, and after reading these comments about their refusal to admit their mistakes, I just might have to take another break from them if the situation doesn't improve.
