Q: So, I should start this off by saying malls aren't my favorite places to shop. Overly commercial and "trendy," they're just not my cup of tea. That being said, this mall is nothing great. However, compared to other malls in Vegas this is probably in my top two. I go to this mall the most often. This seems to be more due to location and friends than store options, though. I mostly stick to one wing of the mall (By Macy's) with the stores I frequent being Fashion Q (really the only reason I return now a days), The Kitchen Sink, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, Hot Topic and Spencer's gifts. Now that Hot Topic has jumped on the trendy band wagon and there is no longer the silver store across from Fashion Q, my interest in coming here has dwindled. My main complaint about this mall though is the lack of store variety. They seem to all be "popular" clothing stores (mostly aimed at young women). Where are the pet stores and book stores from the malls I grew up with? OPTIONS:

Q: We travel to Vegas a few times a year and are frequent visitors to the buffets at various hotels. We were recommended Bachannal by a friend and had a chance to stop by last time we were in Vegas. A bit on the pricey side and the wait can be 2+ hours sometimes, but HANDS DOWN BEST BUFFET I've been to in Vegas. Great selection, quality foods and very clean/well put together inside. We can't wait to go back! OPTIONS:

Q: You play here, but don't stay here. Reception was unfriendly. They didn't know about the midsummer nights dream passes and I had to inform them. I waited 15 mins to check in. The rooms are sad and smell like smoke. No iPod station or anything. It looks like a quality in complete with stained bathtub and same carpet pattern. The package said free bottle of alcohol in my room at check in. Instead I get a $20 drink coupon. That's like 2 drinks. Plus you have to fight your way through the ghostbar etc crowd to get to the elevator. This is my 6th time in Vegas and worst start ever. OPTIONS:

Q: During a 2+ hour layover in PHX, we were headed to La Madeleine to get soup for the wife when we saw the French Onion Soup on the menu here. Since we can do "La Mad" back home, we said what the heck and stopped in to Zinc. Now, as everyone knows, French Onion Soup is general served with a "crouton" on top, on which the cheese melts. But if you're gluten free like the wife, they'll just melt the Gruyere cheese right on the top of the soup-filled crock. Even though it would probably have been more fun to be able to have the cheese on toasted bread on top (poor wife), she was pleased with the soup. And speaking of Gruyere... The truffled Gruyere Zinc Burger was as amazing as it looked. Five stars right there. The dessert we chose was some sort of chocolate bread pudding/cake situation, with a side of ice cream with "house made caramel sauce on top". Eh.... Fairly forgettable (we didn't finish it, even splitting it between the two of us... well, wife could only have the ice cream). Maybe pastry isn't their strong suit. Overall, it's pricy because of the airport premium, and it's trying a bit too hard to be a "bistro" (which for some reason, makes people think they should charge 10% more). And we didn't have to wait very long for our food, which is necessary in an airport. I was pretty happy with my burger, "frites", and beer, and there were plugs available between the tables to top off the devices. 3.86 stars. Which for an airport dining stop, is pretty darn good.
