output: Wow where to begin? I guess at the beginning. Ok so im a chef from san diego in town leaving tomorrow and remembered i had a groupon i needed to use before I left in the morning. So I made my reservation at 430 for 530 on a Sunday night and explained I had a groupon. The maitre'd explained 6 would be better or the kitchen and I figured no problem. Plan was; apps and wine to start. Had a big late lunch but we wanted some munchies for one last, all night run at craps and roulette. Upon arrival I noticed the parking lot was full so we ( girlfriend and I ) were excited because we figured full lot means great place. We were seated by Keifer ( the maitre'd ) into a small corner. I didn't mind. There was tinsel hung on all the walls. The place reminded me of a kitchen nightmares episode but again I wanted to see the menu. I looked at the menu and know my girlfriends tastes so I ordered for us. Perry , the beyond pompous waiter, took our order of foie gras, fettuccine ala George, and French onion soup and a Stella. He asked " all appetizers " I said " yes sir " thinking nothing of it. He whipped himself around quite flamboyantly and proceeded to walk away. I thought nothing of it nor was I made aware of any issue. A few moments later Keifer brought out my gf's Stella to the wrong table and being that I was so close to the table next to us I heard him mention something about you can't just order 3 appetizers. My girlfriend caught it aswell and we knew they were talking about us. Perry proceed to come behind Keifer very quickly and hiss something about that's the wrong table. And as they walked to the back the looked like 2 children arguing an making a scene in what is already a small place. We were laughing at their behavior. It was embarrassing for both of them but perry was the one heard throughout the place " I CANT BE 2 PLACES AT ONCE!!! ". Really, priceless. Lol. So we now realized there was an issue perry was too afraid to bring up to us so he asked Keifer to take care of it. Now Keifer comes over all red faced and sweaty from embarrassment w the Stella to the correct table and tries to explain we either have to order an entree, a 5 course or a 4 course prefixe menu in order to use the groupon. I tried to explain it was fine we didn't NEED to use the groupon and it was all good but he kept trying to sell me on his " wonderful salads that come w the pre fixe menu " lol. I tried to explain again we weren't hungry for mains. We wanted to try the apps and be on our way but again he was insistent we order main or the pre fixe. He was insistent " there has to be a balance in the bill " which I though was funny because I had already told him we didn't NEED to use the groupon. By this time I was insulted embarrassed and about to get angry. (The guy opened the menu on my charger plate, stood next to me and WALKED ME thru the menu!! Wtf!?! I'm a grown man I can read. Lol. ) So I told him we'd gladly pay for the beer and be on our way. Keifer explained the beer was on the house and there would be no charge. So I said " I thought there had to be a balance on the bill?" My girlfriend was more insulted than I was so she left the full beer there. I've been in the food biz for 13 years. Never have I seen anything so mishandled. A) why not address the issue of a main course before or while I'm making my order??? I told you twice I had a groupon B) after explaining we would pay for it out of pocket would you continue to try to sell me something I emphatically refuse. C) why didn't the management word the ad more carefully?? This is the fine print: Reservation required. Dine-in only. Must purchase a food item. Party must have 2 people or more for $50 option, 4 people or more for $100 option. Not valid for online booking I think 3 apps constitutes a " food item " why not write " an entree must be included in purchase "? Or " there must be a remaining balance AFTER you've used the coupon in order to use this coupon" ?? It's pretty simple. Bottom line: 1 star because I can't give 0. Yelp won't allow it. The food was probably great but ill never know cuz ill never go back and ill tell everyone I know everywhere I can no to either. Thanks for reading. Happy dinning.

output: Boo! Yeah I'm definitely not a fan. The casino area seemed nice enough. I don't gamble so I'm going off what I saw while walking by. I ate at two restaurants during my stay, The Cafe and The Market City Caffe, and they were both great. The Cafe is like an upscale 24 hour cafe. I got a chicken burger with a baked potatoe on the side and it was delish. The Market City Caffe is an Italian restaurant. I had the macaroni and cheese with bacon. It was very good and filling. I would recommend both of these places. It's the rooms that kill the Monte Carlo for me. The beds are fine but they give you these two litle pillows with them that are completely flat and maybe just bigger than 11x14. I kid you not. I was like seriously? These are the pillows? Also, the plumbing is really loud. I know that when you stay in Vegas you can sometimes hear people in the room next to yours, but you shouldn't have to hear when they turn on the sink. My ironing board was broken and the iron was so old that it didn't have a steam function on it. Boo! If you want a great, affordable hotel room, stay at the MGM. The pillows were fat and firm and you get 4 per bed. I didn't have to hear anyone flush their toilet, and they actually put thought into the interior design of the room. It's very 1920's Hollywood. And they have Emeril's Seafood Restaurant. Yum!!!!

I realize staying off the Strip and not at a casino are not even something you will consider while coming to Las Vegas but the Residence Inn at Howard Hughes Center is my new secret place for convention center trips. It's a real simple walk up Paradise to the show. At night on Monday/Tuesday they have a free snack and beer for a Happy Hour in the dining hall. The breakfast is pretty decent as well. The hot tub is large but not the warmest/strongest jets you have ever felt. The tennis court they advertise is smaller than regulation size. The rooms are fantastic and the mini kitchen is quality. Our room came with more than once flat screen and a bland 90's decor. Parking was no problem and you will have plenty of space while doing business in Las Vegas. If your ready to work and put in a good week of business in Las Vegas this is your spot. If you want drunken trouble and 24/7 gambling then this is not your place.
