Q: Literally one of the worst hotel experiences of my life!!! Came to LV on business and wanted to stay in the quiet atmosphere of the Signature Towers where I booked a room with two queen beds for me and a coworker. I was instead offered a room with a single bed and a couch that, apparently, folded out into a cot, dorm-room-style!!! Upon several hours of pointless complaining, the staff continued to insist that all of their rooms came with one bed and one cot and all counted as having two Queens and that should I like to have two actual beds to sleep in, I am welcome to book two separate rooms at the newly inflated rate due to the late booking and the fullness of the hotel because of the convention. The last solution was to cancel the reservation and move it to the parent property: MGM Grand. Things did not improve... The hotel manager was not in the least apologetic over the ordeal and announced that since the previous room did indeed provide two separate spaces where a person could sleep, it was essentially my pickyness that resulted that in my having to move, so she was not going to discount the room, give away dining vouchers or compensate me in any way. Having thus spent over three hours, we just took the room and went upstairs in the hopes of a nice shower and maybe some room service. This is what we got: 1. I did not realize that the MGM rooms glow a terrifying, morbid green because of the lighting of the exterior of the hotel. It was scary... 2. The shower only had a freezing and scalding water setting, nothing else... 3. The newly renovated room featured not only torn wallpaper, but also artfully torn towels. 4. For the price of the room service, I think I could have hired Gordon Ramsey himself to come down and wine and dine me. 5. And perhaps the crowning jewel so far was discovered when we came back from dinner and attempted to place our leftovers in the mini refrigerator in the room, only to find it locked!! Upon calling for help we were informed that it was not in fact a fridge (as it appeared to the uneducated eye) but a mini bar for the use of the hotel only and that in order to operate it we not only had to go downstairs to the reception to prove we were 21, but also needed to pay $25 PER DAY, on top of the cost of the drinks for it to be unlocked and turned on. And, no, we were not allowed to put unauthorized food in it. Sadly, we have to stay here 3 more nights for the convention (MAGIC), so I am sure more surprises will follow!! Please, for the sake of humanity, DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

Q: 5 stars...This place made my day! I live near Tukee, therefore I am warped right, but I think the space is great, cool atmosphere, and delicious food. I had the pork sandwich which had tangy coleslaw, mustard seeds, and apple slices among other unique fillings. I like that it was not too barbequey like most pork sandwiches i have had. It has the feel of being a more established restaurant though i learned they opened up December 2009. I thought the layout/ design had a modern industrial feel and lots of light. I agree this place is a relief to the area (: Go check it out!

Q: I'm not the biggest meat-eater and I'd go back. I can go months without eating meat but some of the meat at Chima is really good. The prime rib, pork loin, chicken, sausage, filet mignon and pork ribs were all very good. The lamb chop and beef ribs were not so much. Their salad bar is absolutely amazing. It is no ordinary salad bar. They have all the vegetable you can think of plus more - calamari's, smoked salmon, cheese, pasta salads, soups, different kinds of bread and corn mousse! I could've made my meal solely off of the salad bar. And as most people mentioned - the service at Chima is amazing. Everyone is very attentive and polite.

Q: Oh Sephora! Do you know how much I love and adore you? However, my bank account always cringes whenever I visit. You can easily drop $80+ in one transaction. This Sephora is located at The Venetian Hotel and Casino. It is not exactly at The Grand Canal Shoppes...it is actually on street level. Right on Las Vegas Blvd. Kind of a hassle to get to since you have to walk all the way back out on the strip considerin the fact that you probably parked at the guest parking garage. I've been to this location numerous of times...probably more when I was still a tourist. Local or tourist, every time I stop by here to purchase or browse, all items were fully stocked. I've never ran into a problem here where they were out of an item I wanted to buy.
