A: Sushi... Well done and served with class. Mizuya was the choice of our visiting friends. They liked to look of the restaurant and wanted to stay close to the hotel. We were seated immediately and the menu was explained, to avoid confusion in the ordering process. The server even offered to split checks, which made things very convenient . The portions were perfect, the chicken teriyaki bowl was very well prepared and the cocktail options were very interesting. The prices are about what you would expect at a resort and honestly a bit lower than we were planning for. The service was very good. There were a couple spills and some misunderstandings, but everything was handled professionally and we had a great time.

A: As with other Someburros locations, they serve up excellent food at an inexpensive price. The chorizo burro had a good proportion of meat to egg and potato, and was very flavorful, especially paired with the salsa they serve. The salsa here seems to be tastier and more flavorful than at other locations. The horchata here was refreshing, and not too sweet. The service people at the counter were very friendly. I'm glad there's a good place to get Mexican food in North Scottsdale!

Q: positive

A: My girlfriend teases me that my geek cred is poor. (I'm not much for superhero movies or sci fi or tech stuff.) But I do like science and art, and this wee museum sits in the nexus of both. And as museums go, it's more than a bit weird, situated here on the main drag in Garfield of all places. If you have more than a passing interest in genetically engineered life forms, you'll probably see stuff in here that you already know about. But what makes this place extra special is that it's not just an offshoot of a standard natural history museum. While some of its material could be legitimately set in any credible science museum, the curator here has a day job at the School of *Art* at Carnegie Mellon, so he's not your run of the mill paleontologist. When I visited, the temporary exhibition was called "The Cold Coast Archive: Future Artifacts from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault", which examines the "meaning and function of the world's largest and most well-protected collection of agricultural diversity" by looking "beyond the vault as metaphor; to it's future utility, using media and objects to evoke the imagined collapse of agriculture informed by investigations of existing contingency infrastructure." And it's here on Penn Avenue. Free admission. How cool is that?

A:
Pros: Nice fancy hotel, no-smoking, valet parking, beautiful view of the bellagio fountain and the strip if your lucky to get that side. Cons: It's confusing to get to the hotel driving, and even worse walking. The strip is really like a block away, but either you walk through the Bellagio or Aria to get out or you take a taxi. Also be aware that a $28 resort fee/night and $100 deposit/night is charged when you check in. Overall I recommend the hotel. The pricing was right, and the service was great, but I don't think i'l be staying here again.
