Q: Today I took my family to Wet n Wild for the first time here in Vegas. I moved here from Orlando FL just 2 years ago, and this water park is PATHETIC!!! So much for all things being "Grand" in Vegas this is anything BUT Grand! I won't spend time going into all the issues, but I will list the most obvious ones. It is WAY TOO small and difficult to get around. There are not enough bridges over the lazy river to get to anything without going all the way around, everything has barricades so there are unnecessary bottle-neck lines for ridiculous things, like the wave pool. People should not have to walk around to the front of the wave pool, you should just be able to go in from any point. The wave pool is a JOKE, again way too small. Almost every ride is a tube ride which can be a REAL PAIN having to carry tubes up the stairs. Another ridiculous thing is that if you want a tube for the wave pool or the lazy river you have to rent them. It cost $5 a person/tube the double is $10 and they run out of them fast, but regardless who the hell wants to "watch" over their tube all damn day. Seriously, if each place had their own colored tubes, no one would care, once you're done with the river or pool leave the tube for someone else, it should be simple, stop trying to take our money for something so fundamentally stupid. The lazy river is too shallow and not enough "get-out" entries. FOR THE KIDS: I have a 2.5 year old who is very comfortable in the water and is a great swimmer. She got bored quickly with the 3 kiddie slides and the bucket dropping water park was also WAY TOO small and very cold so she wasn't into it that much and at a point all she really wanted to do was swim, and there are NO KIDS POOLS anywhere! Seriously she would have had more fun at the splash pads. I do agree with other reviews the staff is not consistent with the rules and is not properly trained. As for food, we bought the groupon that included the bbq buffet lunch and it was pretty good, hard to find, a bit chaotic considering how big the room was where the food was laid out, and no one could figure out the drink dispenser it just shuts off automatically and there were buttons and such, weird and not simple to say the least. I mean its a drink dispenser Jesus!! My husband and I did all the rides, they were short, but fun, not really the best thrill for adults. I would say ages 5 through 18 is the best age for this water park. I really think they could have done a hell of a lot better. Needless to say I have decided the season passes are not worth it and I will be trying Cowabunga next just to have a comparison.

Q: Take this review with a grain of salt as I'm a BBQ buff. This is very very average BBQ that is being prepared in a very generic and lazy way. This is the type of BBQ establishment run by a 20something who watches a lot of BBQ shows on cable and decided to open a small restaurant. Which is fine. However great BBQ this is not. The flavor profiles are all over the place for all categories of the food and it ends up making the food taste just weird and like chemicals and Hickory. The Brisket lacks seasoning and has too much smoke and not enough tenderness. The ribs have a tough "skin" on them which makes them extremely hard to chew. They are also cheap St Louis style ribs that are extremely fatty. The place is a health hazard as well, take a quick trip to the bathroom and you will see that. My advice to them: use waaay less Hickory and start using more flavorful and less pungent woods. If you want great BBQ in Phx try any of the following and spend your money where it deserves to be spent in order of best first: Texas BBQ House, BBQ Company, Rudy's

Q: This place is great for Happy Hour. Otherwise, the prices are ridiculous. My friend and I arrived 10 minutes after Happy Hour ended and decide to forget that idea and go somewhere else. What I can say for the place even during non-Happy Hour times is that they have delicious (and STRONG) drinks. Also, the food is adequate. Certainly not terrible, but not enough to pay more than 10 bucks for a roll. Nope. Sorry.

Q: Horrible! I was so excited to come here because my friends and family talk about it all the time. We got into Vegas, met my brother for some drinks and couldn't wait to get out of there. The place is nice, but the service is horrible. There was literally 3 people sitting at the bar, our group of 5 sitting outside and 3 other people playing on one of the games on the patio. The 3 in our group already had drinks so my husband went to the bar to get us a drink. 15 minutes later, he finally gets helped. The bartender didn't pick her head up at all to help him, apparently she's not a great multi-tasker. He also said that she gave a guy about $40 extra in change, but lucky for her he told her she gave him too much. My sister in law said they didn't have the drink she wanted even though it said in big bold letters on their tv menu that they had it. Apparently they didn't have ANY of the beers listed on their TV menu. How hard is it to change that? My brother went up later to get a new beer, he asked her what kind of IPA's they had. She named one, but sounded like there was more so they just looked at eachother until my brother asked if that was it. She said yes. Then he said "What else do you have?" She said "As far as what?" he said,....anything? She grabbed the drink menu and threw it at him. Seriously??? We then wanted to order some food and she got upset about that so my husband just ordered from another guy that was running around like crazy because apparently he was the only one that wanted to work. (it is around midnight at this time, which is not late in Vegas standards). The food was interesting which is why they are getting 2 stars instead of 1. My husband got the hangover burger, and I just got pretzel bites. But the menu was really neat, too bad I won't go back to try any of it. My brother wanted to play beer pong.....$36. No thank you. For being a local bar/restaurant, they really screw over the locals, and make you have a horrible time while you're there. So upset that this place sucked as bad as it did.
