Q: Today, I finally saw CityCenter, and I was stunned by how lackluster it was. The place in general was just lacking in character and charm. It was basically a high-tech Wynn or the Bellagio with less flowers, less art and no Italian motif. The Aria is borderline hidden, the easiest way to get into the place by pedestrian means is through Crystals, which is confusing enough in of itself. The waterfall and colorful fountain outside were nice enough, but the execution is a total fail. What use is stuff like that if it's hidden? I walked in, started looking around when my subconscious pretension and snottiness block started going off. It was as if an alarm was going off in my head telling me "I REALLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE." Besides, the place looked immense and knowing me I would have easily gotten lost. I'm happy I saw it once, but it seems like it worked much better in theory than it does in execution.

Q: Listen, I'm incredibly picky when it comes to salons. I've tried probably a dozen salons in the years I've lived in Madison, most of them Aveda. Unlike a lot of places here, you don't feel like you have to be dressed to the nines or covered in tattoos to get a good cut. And unlike most places, you don't have to be there all fricking day. 45 minutes-an hour for consultation, scalp massage, brow waxing, cut & dry and you're on your way. I've now been to Cinema twice and will go back again. I've seen Aimee both times. She's friendly, she listens, she's efficient, and she gives a great haircut and does an excellent job with brow waxing too. $65 + tip for a cut & brows is a little steep for Madison prices but it's worth it. I like that you can book online, that the greeters are friendly and not snooty like in so many places and offer tea or water, that I haven't had to wait for my scheduled appointment (that drives me CRAZY), and, get this: they have freshly popped bags of popcorn for you.

Q: Cote desappointement, eh bien, on est servi. C'est du vietnamien de boutique. Pas trop mauvais mais pas du tout authentique. Ma copine est tres sensible au MSG et a du prendre un bon cafe, a la maison, pour se calmer le systeme. Pour les Reservations, il faudra corriger le tir. Ils ne repondent pas au telephone et leur message vous suggere d'envoyer un courriel, alors que le maitre des lieux me dit qu'ils n'ont pas le temps de les lire. Le service est tres collegial, c'est a dire pas tres professionnel et inegal selon le talent de chacun. C'est un peu cher pour la qualite et ne sont pas a la hauteur pour les journees de grande affluence.

Q: I've been here many times before and it was good enough for us to come back. However, this time I couldn't find any single item that I liked. I tried many different things until I don't want to eat any more. Won't be coming back again for sure.
