Q: positive

A: Prime Rib, check! Crab Legs, check! Unlimited beer or wine?! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? That wasn't on my list but good lord, yes, please!!! I am not much of a Buffet person but there are only 2 buffets that I'd even consider going to and Studio B is one of them! In any buffet, it's usually expected that the quality of the food will not have the same attention as a regular sit down joint because, let's face it, buffet food is cooked in bulk and sometimes quality is lost. I did not experience that with Studio B. Crab Legs were not over cooked, oysters nice and plump, wide variety of pastas and dessert, you can choose from Gelato and various other oven baked goodies! All of the things that I always look for :) BTW, some sugar-free desserts available! It's a very large Buffet, high ceilings, modernized decor and there's also a seating area that has a view of the Strip. We haven't had any issues with service, plates are cleared and drinks are refilled, usually upon request but I don't knock them for that because most times that we eat there, it's during the peak hours so they're usually running around like chickens with their heads cut off. NOTE: There is a LONG wait, you can wait in line 1-2 hours sometimes. Prepare yourself for that unless you arrive right when they open. When you're standing in line, there's a TV monitor that shows the prices and menu.

Q: negative

A: My friend got deathly sick after eating half a cheese steak hoagie. Never had, but that's enough for me.

Q: positive

A: Don't dog Old Navy. Despite a sub par and semi-annoying marketing campaign, clothes here are aight with me. And where else can you get a perfectly good pair of cargos and boardshorts for less than thrity bucks a pop? I'm no fashion snob, but I like to think I can generally distinguish "awful" from "not awful" in most cases. For the "not awful" variety, Old Navy is dirt cheap and top notch.

Q: positive

A:
My wife and I and another couple recently had our "Vegas Grand Finale" dinner at Aureole. Our friends had dined here previously and loved it so we gave it a shot. Before dinner, we had drinks at Red Square next door which has an amazing vodka selection. If you're really crazy, you can go into the ice room where you have to wear parkas and shoe covers. My wife wasn't down for that because she was wearing fancy shoes for Aureole. Aureole appears to no longer have long tasting menus and instead has a four-course (which is really 8 courses) "parallel" tasting menu. Each course is brought out on a plate with 2 halves to eat side by side. Basically, we loved everything they put in front of us. The beet sald and the duck were particular highlights for me. The wine pairings were excellent and they provided VERY generous pours (something I consider a hallmark of a great tasing menu). The quality of wines were outstanding (Inniskillin for desert, all right). We had a blast at Aureole. The servers and food were great and we'll definitely go again sometime. The only negative thing I can say is not once (not even once) did I seen any of the wine fairies go up the tower. My wife said she saw one when we were first walking in but I missed it. Oh well, there's more than enough great reasons to have dinner at Aureole.
