Sentiment analysis: I had a pretty good experience at Tao, and would recommend people check it out. I'd maybe give it 3.75 stars. Here's a random collection of thoughts: Service: my waitress was cheerful and pretty cool. The people at the front, however, along with the reservations girl, were aloof in the "too-cool-for-school" kind of way. Also, this place doesn't give current wait time if you call and ask them, which is unnerving (is this a problem specific to Vegas?). Atmosphere: 5/5. This is where Tao earns its stripes. It is a truly beautiful restaurant, with a big golden Buddha resting in the center of the restaurant, framed by lots of red booths and dark lighting. Think of it as a PF Chang's on steroids. Beautiful inside! Food: Nothing to write home about, about on the level of PF Chang's, but still pretty good. I tried their Orange Chicken ($28), with white Jasmine rice ($5), and it was fairly tasty (though I wasn't blown away). I also had the vegetable egg rolls ($12), and those were pretty good as well, but again not mind-blowing. Story 1: I came here alone (I was in the area on business), so I kinda felt like the guy in forgetting Sarah Marshall who comes to the restaurant, where Jonah Hill says "aw dude, you came alone? Do you want a magazine or something?" Story 2: Also, I ran into multi-billionaire, and Venetian owner, Sheldon Adelson right by this place. I looked him right in the eye, he looked me in the eye. And then he looked away, and I felt poor.

Sentiment analysis: I was in the mood for an omelet on Saturday so I brought my 2 year old daughter with me. She got a kids meal, all were $5 which is fine. I ordered the Sun Devil omelet with diced ham, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and cheese and a side of fruit. My omelet seriously had like 5 small thin pieces of ham. And when I say pieces, I mean pieces like cut into a small square about the size of a nickel. I was pretty disappointed with it. For $8 I expected a lot more ham than that... I need meat in my breakfast! For $8 I could have bought a dozen eggs, an onion, a pepper, a tomato, and some cheese and made enough omelets for 6+ people for the same price. The veggies in the omelet were sprinkled all right in the middle so I pretty much had to chop up the whole thing up and mix it around to try to distribute everything a little more evenly. Was hoping to find more ham that way but nope. My daughters meal was fine, actually a much larger portion than I expected so I suppose that's good. I wanted to give 3 stars but really I was totally disappointed and I don't really want to come back. I've had way better omelets at IHOP, so that really says something. The service was fine, they brought me potatoes instead of fruit at first but our waiter fixed that quickly. They were busy but we were able to sit on the patio right away, and there were misters keeping us cool so that was fine too. We waited for our food a reasonable amount of time. My 2 stars are really just on the food itself and what I got for my money.

Sentiment analysis: I have been to the Waterworks Burgatory as well as the spot at Consol Arena and the food truck at Mario's Livingroom. I have enjoyed their burgers and shakes many times. So, when they opened in the Waterfront, I was very excited. As a Waterfront "local", I waited for a while before venturing over there. New restaurant openings there always attract a huge crowd. Today, my husband and I went there for lunch at noon. It was busy but the wait was only 10 minutes. I gave my cell number to the hostess and even though I got a text to see the hostess because my table was ready, it wasn't ready when I went inside. We had to wait for them to clear and wipe the table before being seated. My brother had recommended the Espresso Love shake. I've had their hard shakes before, so I ordered that shake and so did my husband. The tequila in the shakes were overpowering. Never before have I had a Burgatory hard shake where the alcohol was so overwhelming. Even the man at the table next to us made mention of the same thing. The waitress who took our order was very nice, but one guy brought us our shakes and a completely different guy brought us our meals. I hope they tip share because other than taking our order and taking away our empty plates and things, she did little else. The special burger of today was a chorizo burger with pulled pork on top. My husband ordered that and said it was the dryest thing he had ever tasted. He made comparisons to the Sahara and the Gobi when describing this burger. I did a Create your Own burger. I ordered a beef burger with provolone, mushrooms, pickles and a sweet onion rub on the beef. I have to cut most all sandwiches in half and when I cut this in half, it just oozed greasy. The bottom of the wheat bun was saturated with greasy juices. Also, their assembly of the burger goes against all conventional thinking which, in this case, was NOT a good thing. They put the cold pickles against the hot provolone cheese, then the lettuce and then put the sauteed mushrooms on top of the lettuce so they fell out all over the place. Whoever cleared this burger to be served was NOT paying attention or doesn't know what they are looking at as my mushrooms were all over the basket before I even laid eyes on my burger. The sea salt and herb fries needs to drop the herbs. They don't suit the fries and they don't suit beef. The flavors clash. I had to use a lot of ketchup to cover the herb flavor. I might come back here if i'm just going to have a short bite, but not for a full meal. I was sadly disappointed with Burgatory after all my great previous experiences with them. I know they will get my business when I go to a Pens game.
