Problem: I was at The Palms for only a short time, while my cousin worked out at the gym there. The food court is pretty nice. I got myself a cup of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. There was also a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf there, which had yummy-looking coffee, tea and desserts. I perused the 2 gift shops I could find, neither of which had a disposable digital camera, which made me sort of disappointed. One of them had expensive, trendy clothes (as if they need more of those around here!). Then I went to the psychic, who's in a little nook near the stores (no real storefront, just beaded curtains). I had time to kill and lots of unanswered questions, and it was only $30 for a reading. She was very good. I can't say I necessarily believe psychic readings, but the whole process put my mind more at ease, and she was very no-nonsense and seemed to be a very kind person. Good stuff.

Problem: What better way to cure a hangover with some good ol' greasy burgers! These are not your normal burgers, as i honestly think I ate the BEST burger here. I ordered a burger that has kobe beef. Kobe beef is too gooood. Other than the food, We did not have reservations, but it was not packed so we waited around 5 minutes. Service was good. Pre-meal was some flavored popcorn. Personally i hate popcorn, it gets stuck in my teeth, so it was AITEE. Ambiance is modern, i mean you are eating in the cosmo haha. Relooking at the menu, I kinda wish i got a milkshake. They all sound really fricking delish.

Problem: monday night is probably not the night most people wander out for a few cocktails while catching up with a friend. but i like to bend the rules a bit, so i headed to Bond No 9 this past monday to enjoy some alcoholic beverages and a good chat with a good friend. what i love about Bond No 9 is the variety of cocktails they have on offer. they've recently redone their menu to give it a good update, but also have a note that they will still make any of the cocktails off their old menu if you ask. additionally if you ask for a cocktail that isn't on any menu or just fancy something different they're happy to mix something up that suits your tastes. the bartenders are excellent and i've never had a bad drink here. on monday i partook in a rural gimlet which was a lovely mixture of gin and grapefruit aand nettle (or was it thistle) syrup and other citrus fruits. i also had a violetta resereva that featured a mixture of rums, violet syrup, and some other things to make it taste lovely. clearly i had a few too many cocktails as their descriptions are a bit fuzzy now... i also ordered a burger from their newly updated menu. i was a bit disappointed that their new menu didn't have any salads on it or any of the sandwiches or lighter dishes feature on their old menu. but the burger was very tasty as were the fries so i can't complain too much. this place is great when it's warm and sunny as they have a really big outdoor seating area along the commercial wharf but it's also good when it's not warm and sunny as it has a large indoor space with loads of comfy seating. there is also a dedicated area for the restaurant if you're only in to eat food. definitely a great bar to go to and it doesn't usually get too crowded as most people don't tend to go to the shore for a night out. their loss really, but my gain as i can always get a seat and served quickly :)

Problem: Will never stay again...room was not clean...there was hair in the sink and shower, shower fixtures were rusty, $2 showerhead barely had pressure, tv didnt work when we arrived,,,it took over 2 hours for someone to come fix it. Over a 4 night stay, housekeeping never offered new towels or linen...restaurant offerings were poor quality...the hallways floors on the 14th floor were never cleaned over our stay there...debris all over the hall carpet and we observed a large chunk of food that sat near one of the elevators for 3 days. I was happy that I had clorox disinfectant wipes with me because I had to use them to clean the room myself. Since the room wasn't clean, I was definitely not interested in checking out the pool. This was my first visit to Vegas so we spent our time visiting other hotels and casinos and doing tours and other activities and only slept and showered the best that we could with the poor shower head and water pressure. I will gladly spend more for my hotel on my next Vegas visit to be more comfortable.
