Q: I went there several times and have been convinced they don't care about the health of their dog guests at all. First of all, though there is a sign on the gate that requires the dogs to vaccinated, no one is there to enforce or check. In fact owners or management never checked to see if the dogs have the correct vaccinations. The last time I went was the last. I was with a large group of friends and one overly aggressive dog kept peeing in the water the dogs drink from. The workers replaced it a couple times but then they they just gave up. The same dog continued to repeatedly pee in it. And the employees watched it and did nothing. They didn't replace the water and they did not ask the owner of the dog to leave or even identify the owner to get it to stop. Meanwhile the other dogs continued to drink from that dish. Obviously the owners and managers of this place do not care about the health of the animals or people that fund this establishment. I will never be taking my dog there to say the least.

Q: Went to Lotus of Siam because numerous magazine articles proclaimed it " the best Thai food in America". Well, maybe it's the best Thai barf in America. What a gross, greasy pile of crap was served to us. And not cheap despite it's location in some out of the way strip mall. Plus, good luck to get a cab to take you back to your hotel. Red 8 at the Wynn is outstanding for Thai. Go there instead.

Q: The food is very good and the view is spectacular. The "hospitality" is grossly lacking and because of this I cannot recommend this restaurant. When you pay a certain amount for a meal (there is a "$50/person minimum, $15 split plate charge" for example) you should be able to expect a certain level of service. Not so for "Top of the World" - I was very disappointed. People were ridiculously rude at the security checkpoint, as if we were burdening them for being there (seriously?! This guy's ONE job is to lead people through a metal detector and show them the elevator. It's hardly taxing, dude. Get another job if you don't like this one.) Our waiter was outrageously rude about the restaurant.com gift certificate we had. We sat down and he was fine. We tell him about the GC and his demeanor changed (to attitude and rudeness) IMMEDIATELY. No joke. He actually didn't even want to let us use it because we didn't have it printed out, even though the website specifically stated we didn't need a printout, just the code (we even showed him a screenshot of this exact wording on the site, since we were concerned about not having a printout either, but wanted to take the site's word). He made a loud scene and called his manager over while telling us "he's not going to accept it" either - unbelievable! The manager graciously just took the code down and said it was fine, slipped away, and then unfortunately left us again with our charming server. I got the feeling he was used to dealing with our guy's "personality". After this debacle, the meal went on. But instead of splurging as we had intended though (this was supposed to be a nice family dinner with my husband, mom, and brother), we basically stuck to the order minimum, since we really did not feel like patronizing this place. No overpriced champagne for us! As I said, the view is gorgeous, and the food was good. All tall rotating restaurants are overpriced for the food and drink, but you're paying for that view, of course. If we hadn't had such atrocious "service" I'd maybe recommend this place (as long as you remember what kind of restaurant it is and how that affects the prices); but the Stratosphere is getting run down (walking through the casino and shopping area was pretty deserted and almost creepy feeling), and the whole experience being as it was, I'll have to say you can spend your money at many, many other fine establishments and have a MUCH nicer experience while in Vegas.

Q: We had high hopes having had lunch at the restaurant during the summer. The space is created to make you feel as if you are inside a wine cave or barrel, and it works and is really quite lovely. And the service is most efficient. The food was disappointing. The coq au vin was flavorless. The rare tuna in a surf and turf salad of tuna and pork belly was tough and also without taste. Nor did the greens thrown on the plate with a little dressing add any flavor or much texture to the salad. The winter squash soup was pretty good. But there were so many things added to it - thinly sliced bacon, some berry coulis and an unknown ingredient - it was overkill. Maybe it was an off night. We are not rushing back.
