Problem: I love hanging out at the PH when I'm in Vegas. It's hip and not stuffy. It's almost like playing cards while you're at the strip club. In the evening hours they have beautiful ladies dancing above the casino tables. They also have 3 card poker that is unique in the sense I don't often see it in other casinos. You can basically use the dealers hand to make a 5 card poker hand. I've gotten 4 of a kind a few times and boats. The dealers are really nice and beautiful. Lost my phone in the building but found it the next day in lost and found. A couple of hiccups retrieving it but the staff were only doing their job. Felt fortunate to retrieve it.

Problem: I'm trying to figure out how most folks gave this show anything more than 3 stars...and I'll tell you why. We went Thxgiving holiday weekend (busy time for Vegas). We sat in the right section mid way up (A tad too close). If you go to watch this, you'd be better off sitting further back in the mid section, probably cheaper tickets too and I would only go if you can buy cheap tickets. This show would be a FLOP without the moving stages and sets built into the side of the auditorium. The storyline and performances or lack thereof would not be able to sustain itself without the amazing stages. The moving stage is the highlight of every scene with the performers incorporating themselves into it to give the illusion of moving landscapes, etc. The last battle scene and maybe 1 or 2 other scenes using the moving stage are the best. The entire performance is lacking with imbalanced energy levels from the entire cast. Some performers are extending themselves giving great performances, not spectacular however, whilst others seem to be going through the motions; it was palatable. Either the performers are bored with the choreography or the show in its entirety. There is one main evil character who looks like a cross between a Kiss rock band member and a Japanese warrior, he barely did acrobatics and wasn't in a lot of scenes but when he was on stage, he was captivating...he had stage presence. There was a baton twirler...yeah, a baton twirler who was ok but not anything special that I haven't seen a 16 yr old girl do during a street parade. I'm still trying to figure out how the "Spongebob Squarepants" scene with people dressed in beach animal character outfits was Cirque du Soleil'ish, they hardly did any acrobatics or feats of the imagination. It was more of a Tom n' Jerry comedy skit...I'm guessing they needed to burn time somehow to prep next scenes but I'm still puzzled by how cheesy this was executed given the opportunity to showcase their "talented artists." Another scene which was "visually" captivating for about a whole 3 minutes but lasted 10 minutes way too long was a rope hoisted performer controlled bird contraption where they dragged a screaming main character around (not doing anything acrobatic in nature) the entire front of the stage...bawwwwring! At the end of the show, whilst performers were taking a final bow...many of the performers started undressing right there on stage, taking off masks and clothing. Really?!? ...geez, talking about spoiling a supposed illusion filled performance with undressing performers during audience applause; how unprofessional!! For what the tickets cost, I don't recommend going to this show if you can't get tickets under $75 pp. It is expensive and not nearly worth the $150+ per tix cost that is charged on most sites. Not a lot of acrobatics that I hear most other Cirque shows are known for and I think that's due to the limitation of the size of the moving stage.

Problem: The WORST dry cleaners I have EVER been to!!!! They DESTROYED my wedding dress!! I can never get that back. I asked the girl there repeatedly if they had dealt with wedding gowns before, she assured me everything would be fine as they had cleaned wedding gowns before and they would take care of my special garment, I get it back and they said they could not clean it, but that they tried and through their attempts at cleaning my dress they stained my white floral details pink, they left their own rust stains or something along the bottom of the dress, they put a safety pin right through the garment leaving a hole and they destroyed all the clasps at the back so my dress no longer closes, I can't even store it correctly because of these people. I cannot believe how much destruction they can do in just one day. Then when I went to pick up my dry cleaning the next day they couldn't find all of it and made me late for an appointment waiting for them to try locate my duvet cover which I landed up leaving without as I just couldn't wait anymore, when I went to pick it up the next day there were rust stains ALL OVER IT!! So they kept it and cleaned it yet again, and when I went in to get it after their second attempt at cleaning it it still had stains all over it, so now I have to take it somewhere else. I will NEVER EVER use this place again and I don't recommend that you take anything you care about here to be cleaned because this is the most destructive laundromat I have ever come across. Seriously, DO NOT TAKE YOUR CLOTHING TO THEM!!!! I would give them negative stars if I could.

Problem: I don't understand why some people think this buffet is terrible! What on earth do you people eat that they didn't have, and if they had it, why did you think it was bad? My friend and I enjoyed this buffet so much that we went for the brunch a few times and dinner buffet once, during the week of NYE. We got the unlimited champagne and I would highly recommend paying the extra $8 for it. Our server Ruth was the greatest and we requested her two more times that we went. I miss her already! The prime rib was juicy and tender and flavorful, and they had the BEST tortilla chips and pico de gallo with just enough of a spicy kick to it. I could have that particular bar placed in my house and be extremely content. They had pretty much everything you could possibly want and I was happy with the quality. (Sushi was only available during dinner buffets which was a bit of a bummer, but if you want sushi, see my review for Sushi House Goyemon.) I will agree their country fried chicken is very tasty and tender, and chicken is not something I normally want when I eat out. Desserts were generally okay. I'm not much of a dessert person but I must say, they had this little triangular chocolate pecan tart which was so good that I smuggled extras in my bag for later :-O Try one, and have a second for me! They had it every time I went, so I think it is one of their regular desserts. You can even make your own soft serve ice cream cones with toppings at this buffet which is fun. I wish I could eat here every day, alas, I am in Bermuda and won't see this buffet for a long time. I want to cry now!!
