A: I agree with Jimmy H.- AWFUL! Have been going here for quite a while so I was horrified to find 2 expensive sweaters in my last pick-up severely SHRUNKEN. The woman (owner) there also denied shrinking the sweaters and also tried to ignore me before I showed her the same sweater I had in a different color to one she shrunk. She continued to deny, said it was impossible, then tried to walk away several times. I was calm, and professional, but firm, and obviously upset. She proceeded to insist the sweater wasn't the same as the one I brought in (it clearly is) because the "material feels different". No kidding! The wool fibers have shrunk so much that it DOES feel different. And the tags on the inside are scrunched together due to the shrunken material around them. She inspected the tags in both the ruined and non-ruined sweater to see that the material and make were EXACTLY the same. Since this accusation wasn't working out, she then had the nerve to accuse me of washing it/shrinking them myself and blaming her. The tags they put on them were still on! I pointed this out to her and she tried to walk away again, but not after telling me that I "just want money". Well, they SHOULD reimburse me for ruining 2 beautiful sweaters. I will probably open a complaint with the BBB or try small claims court, just because I cannot believe someone would treat a customer like this after destroying their property. BEWARE!

A: This hotel is now called "Fortune Hotel and Suites" - so hopefully it'll be updated soon so that people can find the reviews (as I was unable to do before booking, unfortunately). PROS: - Cheap for its location (near the strip, but barely within walking distance, better off hailing a cab out front). - Smoke-Free and Casino Free - a (relatively) quiet place to retreat to after a crazy night on the strip. - Family friendly (if that's a pro for you - personally do not prefer the abundance of children, but they didn't bother us either) - Air conditioning (once you get it started) works like a champ and is not too loud. - Decent sized room (for the money) with a refrigerator and mini kitchenette area separate from the bathroom. Nice sized vanity/dressing area also separate from the bathroom. - Free Parking CONS: - Check-in took forever. There were only 2 couples in line in front of us, yet we stood there for a good 20 minutes. They had only one woman who knew what she was doing (Skip, and she was awesome!) and actually checking people in, while some other guy (manager? relative of the owner?) buzzed around her and even jumped in to "help" and messed things up. While we were standing there, someone who'd just checked in came back to say they had been checked into a dirty room, so that took even longer. - You may walk in on someone or have someone walk in on you. Remember that guy buzzing around? He actually jumped in (without her asking) during check-in and issued us a room key while she was finishing the computer work. ...a room key for a different room than she had checked us into. Luckily we had read the reviews on the travel agent's site and seen that several people had this same problem and actually walked in on people, so we were on guard and caught this, and Skip fixed it for us before walking away from the counter. We kept the deadbolt locked the entire time we were in the room in case they issued our keys to someone else later. - The cleanliness is iffy. Our bedding and towels were clean and crisp, but the floor was not vacuumed (as evidenced by the remnants of orange crackers crushed into the carpet from the previous occupants), walls were dirty. - The parking is not in a covered or secured lot. CONCLUSION: This was a clean(ish), safe place to stay for pretty cheap, and other than the delayed checkin, we had no problems. I've been in some MUCH WORSE hotels in Vegas for this price (bugs and nasty stains), so relatively speaking, it could have been worse. Would I stay here again? Not if I could afford it. But if it's all I could afford and it was a trip out of necessity, I would probably do it again. I understand the hotel is under new management and that may be the source of the service/cleanliness problems we encountered, maybe they haven't figured it out yet... Hopefully they'll get it together because the in theory a cheap smoke free hotel near the strip would be a great place to stay.
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: I had been scoping this place out for months before I tried it. I always see it when I go to Sprouts but I'm always over there before they open. When I finally made my way over there in the afternoon I got a gyro and fries. I took it home had maybe 3-4 bites and fed the rest to my dog. It was so greasy that I had oil dripping down my face. It was flavorless which I thought was impossible for gyro meat. The tzatziki was flavorless as well and really watered down. The fries were OK. I've eaten a lot of gyro's in my life and this one was not good. The gyro place on Northsight is only about 5 minutes away from here and 100 times better.

Output: Booked a limo for a couple hours after my wedding to take photos around strip. Josh, our driver was great and very professional. I thought the limo was going to be just a regular one but it was a cadillac escalade which was much cooler. Complimentary champagne, very nice leather interior with touch screen music player and light show.

output: I took two old photos to have copies made. One would think photos would be put on photo paper, not something that would be considered flimsy typing paper. Since we are visiting here, I didn't have the time to go back and have this done correctly. Don't bother to go there to have photos copied, since the person I talked to on the phone couldn't grasp the meaning of photo paper.
Q: negative

A:
Food was good. It was my mom's birthday. Service, however, went from fine to non existent to worse. Went almost thirty minutes without our server (Ashley) seeing us. During that time, we were out of drinks and the oil got so hot that it was bubbling and popping - enough so that a blob of hot oil burned my finger while it was clear back near my plate. What did the server do? Nothing... She was nowhere to be found. We called for her and she did not come so we called for the hostess who seated us to come and turn down the oil. She kindly did so, brought us refills and apologized. When Ashley finally showed back up, we told her about what happened and without apology, her first utterance was to correct us and tell us that the hostess was not a hostess, but actually the manager. She then went on to explain that she got assigned another table clear on the other side of the restaurant. After she disappeared again for a while, the manager/hostess came back and my mom suggested that they consider placement of tables for a single server a bit closer together. The manager went on to explain that they do that on purpose so you don't have to hear all the explanations over and over as new people are seated around you. We mentioned that the consequence in this instance was almost thirty minutes without any service. We had to listen to several more excuses such as how they staff based on the number of reservations, the high number of walk-in customers they had that night, etc. She asked what she could do to make the visit more enjoyable (isn't that YOUR job to know... given that restaurants are a service industry and you are the manager?) After that, Ashley seemed pretty mad. She dropped off dessert at our table and was effectively giving us the silent treatment... No explanations of what any of the bite sized desserts were or any of the usual pleasantries. She provided only a caution that when the level of chocolate gets low, it might be extra hot, then ran off. The bottom line? Expect the same good Melting Pot food here as you would at other locations.... Just not the same good Melting Pot service. We paid over a hundred dollars for dinner for two to be left to our own devices with a pot of hot oil and have to listen to a laundry list of excuses why the service sucked. And perhaps most importantly... Don't roll the dice on this place for a special occasion. Awful service can certainly put a damper on someone's birthday! I spent the whole ride home trying to get her mind off of it.
