Q: For Vegas style eating, I wasn't too impressed with Valentino. We wanted a good, Italian pasta dinner but the pasta pickings were slim. The place is located in the Venetian hotel and it has a nice, quiet ambience. Our servers were all very pleasant and the place was nice and clean. We started with the soft shell crab appetizer for 4 to share. It was quite good, came with fried asparagus too. We enjoyed this very much. Two of the people I was with ordered the lobster bisque and for the price paid ($16 I think) it was devastating. It was a very small piece of lobster not like advertised on the menu and the soup was very watery. I wouldn't recommend this soup. For entree, I had the wagyu beef which same with a small salad and zucchini, it was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. My boyfriend had the veal dish with polenta. He was less than impressed. Our one friend ordered the swordfish rolls which she was actually very disappointed in. The meal was overwhelmed by peppers and the menu description made it sound so much better. Our other friend had the special of the night which was filet, he seemed happy. So I guess the 2 people who ordered steak were very happy with their meals. We had a bottle of wine to share and then each our own individual glass. Besides the food being mediocre, the wait was forever. I think we waited an hour for our entree... kind of a waste of time in Vegas when we were wanting to go out and have some fun. Good thing to note, a yelp check in will get you 20% off the food portion of the bill. Which is a good savings. I wouldn't go back here merely because Vegas has way too much to offer at other restaurants and the place was quite expensive. OPTIONS:

Q: We need this damn restaurant in Southern California! I hate the fact that I'll have to travel to Las Vegas or fly out to Texas or the East Coast to get a sandwich from the Earl. The web site claims that the Sandwich family (the same family line of the Earl who invented the sandwich), a restaurateur, and a dude by the name of Earl, created this franchise. It's easy to brag when you can honestly say that you invented stuffing things between bread. The chain also has the blessing of the 11th Earl of Sandwich and have a charter on the home page of their website. That's such great marketing. I know what you're thinking: "franchise" is a dirty word, especially on Yelp!. But no, this is a good sort of franchise, along the lines of Chick-Fil-A or In-N-Out or some other hyphenated chain. You'll notice that they have images of 18th century individuals and a mug of the Earl himself on the soda cups of the restaurant. There's a Samuel Adams-esque quality about the place. The sandwiches here are not too large, but the flavors stand out and ingredients are fresh. The bread is amazing, firm, but soft when you bite into it. The spreads were very unique, a cross between a honey mustard and barbecue sauce. I ordered the Earl's Club sandwich and I was very pleased to find that the turkey was moist, instead of dry and salty. I would say that this franchise is a cross among Corner Bakery, Panera and Lawry's Carvery. They give you a buzzer (at least at this location) and you come back to pick up your sandwich when it's done. Even though the sandwiches take a little longer to make, it's well worth it and you can definitely taste the quality. This particular location is in the Miracle Mile shops in the Planet Hollywood hotel on the Strip. It's like the first thing you'll notice when you enter the mall from the south entrance. The seats spill onto the mall corridor and always seem to be crowded, the latter definitely being a good sign of good shit. So this great place, along with Dunkin' Donuts, are institutions that I have to hit up whenever I'm in Sin City. I don't care what it takes, write a damn petition to the Earl himself and have him set up shop on this far-flung former colony I call western America. OPTIONS:
