I used to live in Las Vegas and took my very expensive shoe collection for regular repair and maintenance to Shoe Lab.The repairs were always expensive but seemed to be decent. There is one pair of Christian Louboutin boots that originally retailed for more than $1,400. The heel broke so I took them to shoe lab. They "fixed" the issue by putting in a new heel and recovering it. For some reason, they never quite seemed right - it almost was if they replaced with a shorter heel. Not long after, the other heel broke. I have since moved away from Las Vegas and found a very good cobbler at which to have the boots repaired. Upon repairing my heels the correct way (meaning ordering the appropriate heels from the manufacturer), he discovered that the old heel repaired by shoe lab was simply super-glued in place and re-covered with a cheap imitation leather fabric. He said this was not only dangerous, but a rip-off, as they had charged me $250. I am disgusted and now going back through the other shoes I had reheeled by Shoe Lab in order to check for this same issue. Take my advice and DO NOT take your shoes to Shoe Lab.

I am at this casino right now and my boyfriend just picked up $50 on a blackjack table and the dealer had the nerve to say "thanks for being generous" when he didn't receive a tip. We were at the table for 5 mins TOPS. Such a classless comment. We cashed out immediately and took our money elsewhere!!!

Frankenstein's monster was made out of bits and pieces of unrelated human beings. So if Frankenstein's monster was staying at Mandalay Bay, where would he eat? The Burger Bar, where you can have a hamburger made out of seemingly unrelated ingredients. Kobe beef, lamb, fois gras, lobster, black truffles and avocado are just scratching the surface of the mismatched concoctions that come alive at the Burger Bar. This isn't a buffet table loaded with burger toppings, but made to order concoctions of your own design (though they do have some pre-designed burgers to choose from). The creative genius doesn't end with the burgers though. A selection of Beer Floats are available as well. That's right - Beer Float. Ice cream and Beer. We're no longer serving Mary Shelley's Frankenstien and now serving Mel Brook's Young Frankenstein. And that's not all bad. When my wife pointed out the Beer Floats, she laughed. Unflinching, I immediately ordered the Beer Float sampler. 5 different micro-brew style beers, with 5 different flavors of ice cream. I have to admit, most of them tasted better than I thought they would, and my wife who mocked me for ordering them was also slurping them down (I don't ever need 5 scoops of ice cream). While I cannot say that the Beer Floats are the best beverage I've ever had, I can say that it was offered. The burger however, was one of the best burgers I've ever had (second only to Detroit's Miller's Bar). The Burger Bar is a 3-star setting with 4-star prices and superior burger options. Strap it to a table, expose to lightning, and you have a place that even a monster could love.

Ever since I moved to Las Vegas from California in 2004, I've been looking for Mexican food restaurants that remind me of home. Even though it has always been against my best judgement, I had to settle for the inferior Roberto's. Settle no more. I work at a school up the street from Molcasalsa and surprisingly I never ventured in until yesterday. I ordered a carne asada burrito and 3 rolled tacos with guacamole. While I waited for my order, I filled up ramekins with molcajete, red, and green salsas. My order arrived after a few minutes and I started with the burrito. The beef was tender, the pico de gallo bright and fresh, and the guacamole was silky smooth. I loved the taquitos, too, covered in creamy guacamole and cheese. What surprised me was the restaurant's namesake, the molcajete salsa, was my least favorite part of the meal. However, both the red and green salsas make up for it in the taste and spiciness categories. I'm giving this restaurant 5 stars because the food is great, and great Mexican food is rare in Las Vegas.
