A: I have been a resident for 1 year and absolutely love this place! The staff is courteous and prompt with requests. I chose an upgrade 2 bedroom and it is beautiful! As far as the scorpion comments I have seen 2 in the year I have been here. I had a home and no different since we are located in the desert.

A: Pricey and contrived, this place feels perfect for the tourist crowd and the loud, blow-hardy lunch meeting crowd. At the front desk, the head of the party's name is requested; once at the table, the server addresses the head person by name in an attempt to make the party feel welcome, special, or familiar. It comes off as lame. That said, our waiter was as nice as could be. We started with glasses of wine (a nice Malbec and a pinot noir, reasonably priced at around $10-$12). The caesar salad that followed was decent but forgettable. For the main, I got "sushi grade tuna" with ginger rice. The tuna was nice and hugely portioned, but I would have preferred it to be sliced before it got to the table. There's something unpleasantly animalistic about cutting into a giant hunk of raw meat. As a side, we ordered the truffle oil and parmesan fries, which were fantastic. I had espresso pie and an espresso for dessert. Again, both items were decent but forgettable. When all is said and done, I'm 100% OK with this one trip being my last. Nice experience, satisfactory food...but for a bill of $250 for two people, I would have expected a bit more panache.

Q: positive

A: Perfect view of the Bellagio fountains if you're lucky enough to be seated outside, or are willing to wait a few minutes at the bar for your patio table. Food and service were both outstanding, as usual. Waitress was very nice and attentive, but not overbearing. Noise level is obviously fairly high since the place is bustling 16 hours a day and the doors to the strip are open, but not 'STK' loud, if you understand that difference. Been here several times and have never been let down, for the price you will be hard-pressed to find a better place to eat in Las Vegas.

A:
First let me say I will never come back to this place and they jacked my Coach sunglasses!! I was impressed upon initially walking in b/c it smelled great. They offer you a free taste of bread as you walk in. My bf went w/ red, white and blue. It was good but not spectacular. I went w/ Coconut Walnut. OMG really good. but the service RUINED it for me. We came in for a brkfst sandwich of which they only have 2 options eggs and ham or eggs and bacon - seems simple enough right? you also (acc'd to the paper you write your order down on yourself ) to add tomato or green pepper. Odd combo but ok. mybf ordered 1) ham, egg, cheese, tomato and green peppers me i ordered: 2) bacon, egg, cheese and green peppers well first she came back .. do you want cheese? yes.. i circled cheddar.. ok then she came back.... we are out of wheat bread do you want another? well.. yeah (i dont want to eat a bread free sandwich)... what do youhave? her: we have xyz and soudough me: ok Ill have soudough (my bf ordered white) we finally get our order - both were on sourdough I might add.. Neither had tomato or green peppers... my bf took his bk and asked about it and she just looked @ him and said well.. what do you want me to do? the BF: he said well can you fix it? she started um... well.. um.. and um... er... finally my bf just said well can you give it to me on the side? HER: yeah that's a good idea. you can see the photo on the side. I walked out and realized I had left my Coach glasses on the table. I went bk in and they were already gone. This was not a place I'd ever go back. After this neither of the girls would look us in the eye. it seemed like 2 girls that had no idea what they were doing.. One of them commented to my bf that they had been there since 5 am to bake bread.. um.. so that means its ok to mess up our order b/c you start your workday early? The fact this place was empty should've tipped us off. As we left there was an elderly couple walking in, I said whatever y ou do just stick to the bread - the sandwiches are TOO COMPLICATED for them to make and they've been working since 5 (she said it, me.. so this was not an insult, just a disclaimer I was passing along)
