Q: run by assholes. major plumbing issues. where do I begin? We were staying on a Friends & Family Discount and had the same issue as Cindy G. Bitchy front desk woman wouldn't let us check in for our discount rate room despite the fact that we were told earlier this wouldn't be a problem. She then delivered a monologue about how these are $400 rooms that they are giving us for an incredible deal so we should be extremely grateful they even allowed us to stay here. What kind of a "welcome to our hotel" is that?? If they don't want to honor those discounts, then don't! Why the hell would they provide a discount only to make the customer feel like a freakin' leech for using it?? Ridiculous. Now for the plumbing situation... After a day out, we returned to our room to find the bathroom covered in bubbles. Seriously. Bubbles several inches thick covering the whole bathroom floor. They looked like soap bubbles but smelled like sewage. We determined that they were coming from the toilet. Clearly, there was a major problem with the plumbing. We called the front desk, informed them of the situation and asked to be transferred to a different room because we needed to shower and get ready for a Cirque show that was starting in a few hours. The woman at the desk acted shocked about the bubbles and said she'd check on a new room and call us right back. We waited... When the repair person came, he also tried to act surprised but when he called in for more help we heard him say "yea, it's worse than yesterday"... hm.... We asked him also if we could get a new room. Only then did we get a response. About an hour after the ordeal began, we were all set in our new room. By that time, we were running really late for our show and asked if the hotel could provide a taxi given that their plumbing issue caused our delay. They were such jerks! The front desk man told us that because we had a discount rate, we should just be grateful that we were given a new, non-sewagebubble covered room because they could easily get more money for our room if they wanted. WHAT?!? Bitch, we paid for a room using YOUR discount program! Is part of that program to treat paying customers like lowly free-loaders? Should we also be using the service entrance? Again, why are you offering this discount if you resent it so much?? Whatever, so we'll pay for our own taxi. At 6:00pm, we ask if they can call for one to pick us up at 6:30. They say yes it will be there. At 6:30, we ask where our taxi is because it's not there, and also half the hotel is out front angrily waiting for late taxis. Front desk woman snaps that they do not call cabs until the entire party is downstairs and ready so she will only call for one now. Huh? We were told 30 minutes ago that there would be a taxi for us at 6:30. Whatever, so we continue waiting. We start laughing at what jerks they are when another customer hears us talking about the bubbles and says "wait you guys had bubbles too? what floor? I was on the 16th floor and had the same problem yesterday!" We tell her we're on the 2nd floor and a different customer says, "hey I'm right across from you guys and I've been smelling that awful sewage, what is going on??" Long story short: the hotel clearly has a plumbing/sewage issue. They obviously know about it. They rent out the rooms anyway. When the issue manifests itself, they act like they knew nothing about it and then try to make anyone staying on a discount feel guilty for being given the privilege of staying in their shit-smelling sewage room. By this time, it's 6:45, there's no taxi, and our show starts at 7. The bellhop tells us we're better off driving and gives us the best route to go. Thanks, friendly bellhop! With your route and a quick sprint through the MGM grand, you are the ONLY reason we made it to our show a mere 2 minutes late! Much appreciated. No thanks to the front desk people who couldn't care less about...well... anything. Other signs of the plumbing issue: The sink spurted out bubbly water just about every time it was turned on. It was like the pipes were filled with air. The shower took a good 5 minutes to get warm in both of our rooms. Bottom line: the management staff is beyond rude. They made us feel like we were trash because we had a Friends & Family Discount, they refused to help us out when we lost time because of their plumbing issue, and they tried to act like they didn't know about it when clearly they were having problems all over the hotel. Do not stay with these jackasses. Your room will smell like sewage, and they will tell you to be grateful for it. (note: the housekeepers, bellmen, and repair people were all extremely kind and helpful! They ought to be the ones running the place, not the rude bastards behind the front desk.)

Q: We came with no reservations and set at the bar. The food was amazing. The bartender was very nice and professional. She recommended us to share a steak since the portions are big, we did and we didn't even finish it. It was very nice of her (since the place is not cheap..) The wine was delicious. Overall very nice place. We had fun!

Q: Historic District Resale Mall is awesome! Great prices! I bought a beautiful Korean dresser with 3 piece mirror for $60. (dovetailed joints, unscratched finish, even shabby chic drawer liners!) Large spiral wrought iron plant stand with green glass shelves, $35, and silver platter for $3! The owner has an impeccable knowledge of every item in her store, and was very pleasant and informative. Bathrooms across street. Store was clean and organized, with classic antique store charm. The location is fabulous, and extremely easy to get to- right off Grand Ave and the 101 West. LOVE the character and quality of the merchandise here. I will be going back again as soon as I can. If you want great prices and tons of selection that hasn't been picked through, go to Historic District Resale Mall.
