Problem: We made a 7:45 reservation here before going to see Mystere. We came at the recommendation of my sister and were very happy we did. It didn't start that way though.... We ordered the peach margarita, which took about 10 minutes to arrive. The waiter didn't come to take our order until after the drinks arrived. But, we didn't like the drinks. They were frozen (didn't say so on the menu) and they tasted like a fruit smoothie, not a margarita. The waiter was nice about taking them back and we ordered the raspberry margaritas instead. Those took about 10 minutes to arrive also and the waiter STILL didn't come by to take our order. We loved the raspberry margaritas...could taste the tequila and the raspberry flavor was very intense. I ordered the achiote salmon and my husband ordered the tacos al pastor. The chips and salsa were pretty good. We both liked the tomatillo salsa best. We like strong drinks, so we ordered a shot of Cazadores for each. It was a HUGE shot, but it was also $12. That was the kick the drink needed. Our food arrived and I was disappointed with my salmon. The tomatillo-mango salsa was cold on top of the salmon and had a lot of raw onions in it, which are not my favorite. Also, the salmon was too well done for my taste. I wasn't going to send it back, but the manager asked me how it was and I hesitated and after our conversation, he insisted on making me a new one...medium this time. The manager told us he was new, so he was probably a little over-eager to please, which was fine with us. He also gave us 1 shot of tequila on the house, which was really nice. My husband really liked his tacos. The pork was super tender and flavorful. My new salmon came shortly and it must have been missing the chile morita sauce last time because this new salmon was AMAZING. That sauce was spicy, tangy and had a lot of depth. On top of the new, tender medium salmon, we both dove in and finished the whole thing. The corn tamale it came with was a little too sweet for dinner. The charro beans were good. The sent us dessert on the house and we picked the recommended crepes, which were just okay. The homemade vanilla bean ice cream was pretty darn good. I'm not sure if I'd come back here. though...the salmon was really delicious, but Vegas has SO many good restaurants.

Problem: I've been flying in and out of this airport for more years than I care to think about, so it feels like home each time I'm there to fly, drop someone off or pick someone up. I remember when Douglas International was much smaller, similar to Greensboro or Raleigh, and have seen it expand quite a bit over the years. Of course, airports were much more fun back before the tragedy of 9/11. Prior to that, anybody could access the main concourses and the restaurants they have. Now, with access restricted to only those who have tickets, its much less exciting, but still a very nice airport, especially compared to places like Detroit, O'Hare in Chicago and McCarron in Vegas. It's pretty easy to navigate your way, and I love grabbing a beer before a flight at California Pizza Kitchen. I've had nothing but positive experiences in dealing with the people at Douglas.

Problem: Some buddies and I decided to check out the Geisha House primarily because they had an offer on Groupon that offered a decent discount to check out their "Naked Sushi" night. The concept sounded pretty interesting, like something out of a Yakuza movie or something...in any case, it didn't prove to be as neat as it sounded. First off, this restaurant really is on the EDGE of town. We knew that going in to it, so that's not really a complaint, just an observation. Be prepared to drive pretty far if you live anywhere in the Valley other than the Northwest. We got to the Geisha House and it was pretty busy. There was a small line to get in, maybe five minutes of waiting at the most, and then we were faced with the host. He took out Groupons and told us it would be $5 required gratuity. We said that would be fine, and then he said we had to pay it right then before entering. We begrudgingly paid the man, were each given a drink ticket and a hostess seated us outside on the covered patio. I was surprised to find that there was no waitress that came and took our drink order. Instead, we had to go inside to the bar, which had a massive line, in order to get our drinks. They didn't even bring glasses of water to the table, so drink tickets had to be used for ANY drink, not just alcoholic ones. I ended up using mine on a bottle of water, and I had to purchase another for $2 after I drank it. Sort of cheesy, if you ask me. Onto the Naked Sushi bit! In my head, I had imagined that we would have had our own table with a gorgeous naked woman on it with delicious sushi lined up for the taking....this was not so. It was more of a glorified buffet line, where everybody filed around a large circular cooking station in the corner of the restaurant. There were hot items, and in the middle of the line-up were two women with some truly nasty looking sushi laying on their bodies (leaves laid on the skin prevented the sushi from touching their bodies). I tried a bit of each piece and it was terrible! Not to mention that the girls were not exactly attractive and they looked like they wanted to kill someone while they were laying there. The hostess was actually far more attractive than the Naked Sushi girls, which isn't what I would have expected. The saving grace, or the only grace, of this place were the chicken wings and fried rice. They were pretty tasty and we all loaded up our plates in abundance with those two items. This sounded like it would be a good experience online, but proved to be rather disappointing when it came down to it.
