A: the overriding theme in this review will be: CAN I LIVE?? this would have been my second visit to this establishment, because I really enjoyed their chili for $7. I loved putting their pickles in it the first time I ever ate there - the ONLY time I ever ate there. last night's encounter made me lose my appetite, literally. I had a craving for said chili and said pickles. I walked over since I was downtown already. I came to this stupid, fucking container park for specifically THIS reason - to get chili and pickles. but as soon as I walk in, I'm harassed/embarrassed by two dudes standing on the patron-side of the counter. the one on the left seemed normal, and probably embarrassed, too, to be seen with his other friend on the right, who was a total douche. I know Tony Hseih "built this city" so we could all "collide" and be friends, but sometimes I just want to order some dinner and go home. no, I don't want to have a stop-and-chat. no, I don't want to talk about my camera and what pictures I take with it. i'm glad you think my jacket is really cool, and that's lovely, but please stop talking to me. CAN I LIVE? Clearly, I'm the coolest female walking around downtown - I dress well, have that 'New Yorker vibe' (apparently?), and ride a bicycle - but that doesn't mean you have the right to accost me, especially when I, and someone running the establishment, asks you politely - and multiple times - to leave the customer alone. how many times do I have to ask you to stop speaking to me? why do I have to answer your questions, protector of the counter? if you already ordered, can you move aside so I can order? I guess the guy on the left assumed (incorrectly) that they were all hitting on me. he actually said, "just so you know, we're all gay." to which I replied, "okay? cool? you assume i care. why does this matter? all i want is dinner." my body language and overall demeanor says, "please. stop. I don't want any attention at all, I'm just hungry." forgive me for 'looking cool,' but that doesn't mean I don't deserve the respect of being left alone when asked. I actually said this, too, but no matter. sigh. to be fair, the guy behind the counter was trying to get him to stop, but no luck, either. even though he told them if he lost a customer because of them, he'd kick their ass, the douche didn't stop. I actually lost my appetite entirely because of this guy and left. pork 'n beans: your food is good, though slightly overpriced. I know it's not your fault - you are paying astronomical rent to be in a shipping container that Tony Hseih probably got for free somewhere on the coast of Cali. and because he touched this once-meth-ridden-land with his golden dick, it is now stupid amounts of money for anyone to "collide" with each other. however, I was willing to pay again to eat there and be a returning customer. I know you don't choose your clientele, and I know this isn't your fault, but man, CAN I LIVE??

Q: positive

A: We were 2 couples staying for 4 nights, and it was great to have a real apartment instead of hotel rooms. Located right between the Bellagio and the Cosmopolitan, across street from Paris, Bally's, etc. Full, well-equipped kitchen, everything we needed, good quality. Two queen-size beds, 1 bathroom ensuite, the other across the hall. Big closets. 3 TV'S, free wi-fi, nice living room and dining room. Location is smack in the middle of the strip with an elevator directly into the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Pool and Jacuzzi spa are open 24 hrs, unlike any other hotel on the strip. Our unit had no view due to the nearness of the Cosmopolitan, but price was right ($150/nt) and we didn't stay in the room that much anyway. We really didn't notice. No issues with Time Share people as we rented from private realtor Cherri Cagle-Park at Las Vegas Realty (vacationrentals.com). She was great!! Even drove us to a grocery store so we could shop! There is a small grocery on site for small stuff, but like all convenience stores, are a bit pricey. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. She manages 11 units in the bldg, so can probably set you up with whatever you need. Very quiet, staff was friendly and helpful. Comfy beds, nice linens.

Q: negative

A: My partner and I decided to go here because we were tired and did not feel like leaving the strip. We were both disappointed. I put our name in and was told that it would take twenty minutes to be seated; it ended up taking thirty. The service was okay if you were paying $30-40 for a meal. We ordered a small gorgonzola salad, a small pepperoni pizza, a small chicken saltimbocca, garlic mashed potatoes and two (plastic) glasses of water. This meal came to $82 without counting tip! The salad was okay, the pizza was very salty and flat, the chicken was average, there was not much garlic taste to the mashed potatoes and the water was chlorinated with not even a lemon wedge to mask the taste. Their "family-style" philosophy forces you into sharing entrees rather than ordering your own meal. You see, the small portions are supposed to be shared. So I guess people who are dining alone are not welcome. The service was surly and polite. Take your money and go to Olive Garden.

Q: negative

A:
Food was a bit pricey. Shrimp Lomein was dark colored and thinned tasteless noddles. They didn't deliver something as simple as duck sauce! And the wonton soup was horrible! Wontons were kinda like dumplings, except they don't serve dumplings. And the texture of the "wonton's dough" was thin, and tasted nothing like a decent soup.... Anyways; the eggroll was really good! I think they gave us a 3rd one for free, and it had me craving for more! But unfortunately, I doubt we will order again from them.
