Q: I absolutely agree with Peter K's review. Don't let the bright welcoming decor fool you into walking in here. We ordered the spring rolls which turned out to be non traditional Vietnamese spring rolls filled with cabbage and carrots. It reminded me of Westernized spring rolls that can be bought frozen at the grocery store. The pho was decent, but the broth was watered down and not as concentrated as other Vietnamese restaurants. The Vietnamese iced coffee was also served in a non traditional way-- already premixed in the back in a tall glass of ice. Not to be picky, but I do enjoy my hot drip espresso with condensed milk on the bottom of the cup, and pouring the coffee into the ice myself. When it came time to pay, they don't accept credit cards. Perhaps that should've been stated on the door or on the menu? We payed with American currency and they decided to make up their own exchange rate and over charged us by 20%, stating "We are not a bank [so we don't know what the current exchange rate is]"nIf you are going to over charge tourists, at least serve proper Vietnamese food and not "reinvented" Vietnamese food. "C'est bon!" I think NOT! OPTIONS:

Q: It has to be all downhill when the Real housewives of ATL show up here. I should have known. This place used to be a bit of everything. Now when u go and u don't have your jeans and tshirt on they make u feel like u should have a change of clothes in the car. F that. I need a place that accepts me whether I am in my pearls or in my sweats. This is no longer the place. Can someone tell me why they pride themselves on serving crap beer. I am not a 20 something hipster that thinks PBR is an accessory. I require some Birdsong or NoDa brewery beer for a local spot. Why can't u keep up with local tastes. Smh. #disappointment OPTIONS:

Q: Small Korean restaurant in the vicinity of big name Korean restaurants in town (DJK, Mothers, Tofu Hut). But I think the price and taste at Mr. Tofu beats out the rest. Mr. Tofu specializes in their soondubu (soft tofu stew). The stews really have a different feel and taste according to whats mixed in with it - pork, beef or seafood. I personally love the seafood soondubu. It has a couple pieces of shrimp, clams, mussel and a cracked egg. You can pick the level of spice from non-spicy to spicy. I get the medium, which I think it's spicy. So if you're not accustomed to the heat, I would suggest you go down on the spicy scale. The seafood soondubu is $9. I've had their dolsot bibimbap (rice and veggies in a hot stone pot). This is okay, I've had better. Some carrots, spinach, zucchini, mushrooms on top of rice. You mix in the spicy sauce yourself to your liking. Leave some of the rice on the bottom of the hot stone pot to get it real crunchy. This is the best part of a dolsot bibimbap! They also have Korean BBQ. Kalbi, bulgogi and daeji bulgogi (spicy marinated pork). Their daeji bulgogi is pretty good for $15! Not too spicy and no extra fat in the dish making too greasy. I can tell whoever cooks this dish takes their time to prepare it right. Of course, nothing beats mom's Korean cooking at home. But when mom isn't able to cook, this place is pretty good for some fast cheap(-er) Korean food. OPTIONS:

Q: So, the long and short of the Riviera is that it's inexpensive, the rooms are clean and reasonably well maintained, and it's near the convention center. Other than that, it's not much to speak of. I booked my room well in advance, and neglected to check the rates a few days before my trip. As it turns out, the rate I booked was a bit higher than what was available the day I traveled. The front desk was not willing to adjust my rate, and the upgrade they proposed was about $60/day. Not a show-stopper, but it would have been a nice customer service moment. The property is right on the strip, but at the moment it's located in somewhat of a dead zone, since there were a few casinos nearby that closed, a few projects on hold, and not much else. Location-wise, it's great for the convention center access, a 15 minute walk, but the fun doesn't really start until you get to the Wynn, which is a few blocks away. The casino is pretty run of the mill, and more something you'd see downtown these days in Vegas. They have no poker room, which was a big disappointment. Apparently the nearest poker room was either the Wynn (expensive) or the Las Vegas Hilton, just off the strip. I only ate in the hotel once, at the food court, and it was pretty lousy. They do have a steakhouse that is supposed to be very good, however. The convenience store they have is pretty well stocked, so if you forget something, they probably have it. They have a pool area outside, but nothing inside; the pool would probably be a nice option in the summer. This brings me to the resort fee. $15/day, basically for so-so WiFi access. They promote "free" use of the in-room safe, local calls, and the fitness center. Again...just like the airlines...stuff we used to get included is now a la carte. They provide a coupon book with a number of things you can get for half off, BOGO, etc. I didn't find them particularly useful. Overall, the price is good, and it's certainly not scary, but if you're looking to have an elegant time in Vegas, this place probably isn't for you. It's a relic of the "old" Vegas, and unfortunately it just can't keep pace. If this place were downtown, it'd fit right in, but on the strip I think it's just biding its time before someone makes the right offer and it's torn down and replaced with something a little more modern.
