Problem: Sarah was our server, sweet as the dessert on their menu & took good care of all 5 of us! Sugar bowl reminds me of the old fashioned ice cream parlors I've only seen on black and white tv. They have burgers & sandwiches, not just dessert as I had imagined driving by all these years.Of course this girl had dessert, the Desireme Banana Split, yes still living in sweats and pajama jeans or Thanksgiving pants as our server coined them! Worth it, right down to the last drop of marshmellow sauce!!! There unfortunately was an issue with my Patty melt, I'm not one to complain but the thing was still mooing, they were swift to correct the issue(at no charge)and exchanged it for a quieter, more cooked version! We all enjoyed dessert, dinner & even games in their arcade, it was a fabulous family night out!

Problem: The first time I went, it was just me and two gals....and no, they weren't my mother and aunt. The line was long....we waited in line for about 25 minutes....we just kept pushing to the front....stayed on the right hand side. If you want to ride the rail and pled/beg, go ahead. But I just tried to get to the front. The girls dressed to kill all got in quickly....ladies, if there are a bunch of you, you'll get in easily.....no worries. Just be sure to smile and make eye contact....if you start swearing, begging, bitching, etc....then you'll have to wait. Remember, there are gorgeous girls in there already.....Tryst isn't hurting. And the "bouncers" have the power...accept it. Guys, if there are 2-4-6-10 of you, then you'll have to wait. You can obviously throw around the money, but be sure to ask them what it will take to get in ("I have 6 of my buddies here, what will it take for us to get in")....if you start with the dollar figure ("hey, we'll pay you $50, $100, etc each to get in"), then it becomes a joke to these security guys, and they'll push it however much they want. Look, if you wait in line long enough, you'll get in....it's up to you how soon you want to get in. And the whole concierge beforehand to get on the guest list? Um, forget it...you'll still have to wait. So back to Tryst. Once we got in, it was wild. The crowd is a bit older (plenty of old sleazy guys and definitely a bunch of cougars), but overall, the crowd is just fine. You're not going to walk into some half-empty club. The two bars are absolutely packed, but I didn't mind waiting...the bartenders are all perfect-10-type looking ladies, and I could stare at them all day. Even when it's 110 degrees outside, the dance floor is well ventilated...they keep the area open, and the waterfall outside helps. However, the dance floor is small, so you'll be packed tightly. The other areas (right and left of the dancefloor) are all bottle-service tables. And then outside, bordering the "lake"/waterfall, there are more bottle-service tables. My small group danced for awhile, got a few drinks, and then ventured outside. Trust me, there's no place to stand inside.....people are constantly moving....it's packed and uncomfortable, so I definitely recommend heading outside. There's more room near the tables outside, so you can always veg-out there. After a few hours, we decided to leave. Good times! The 2nd time around, a group of us (all guys) decided on the bottle/table service route. Got there at 10:45, met up with our Tryst Host, and then we got escorted inside right away. This might sound really, really LAME, but it actually felt good walking right by everyone in line. Ok, fine, I'm shallow like that. Tipped the host, and then we were led to our table by the runner. We got a table outside, bordering the "lake". Met our server....wow, what a stunner. Looked at other servers...yes, they're all gorgeous. Looked around...good area, good views, very chill. It was very hot that night, but the weather was perfect because of the waterfall. I liked the table outside, because it's more of a laid-back, chill environment (still plenty of traffic). There are also plenty of tables inside....you can't really go wrong with any of the tables there....there's more traffic and action inside (and definitely more action for the tables right next to the dance floor...that's why they're in big demand and command an extra wad of $), but all the tables serve one purpose....it's definitely great to have a "home base". We could stay at the table, hang out, party with other tables, and offer drinks to passer-byers (and yes, if you offer, they will take). Think about it this way...most clubs in Vegas simply do not offer places to sit down. Most girls wear heels they normally don't wear. Feet get tired, they need a place to sit.....nice gentlemen offers a place to sit plus a free drink.....how can they refuse? And then if you wanted to, you could venture around, head to the dance floor, look for the stripper pole, etc. Really, the best of both worlds. Is it worth it? I think so. You can either spend $30 on cover, $15-$20 per drink, wait in line forever, and run the risk of screwing your night up. Or you can spend $200-$250 each, get in right away, have a table, have a server, have plenty of drinks...and have plenty of company. If you had to wait a long time in line, if you couldn't find a place to move your arms on the dance floor, if it took you 30 minutes just to take a pee, if the bar was a mess and the bartender didn't get you a drink, if the security guards were rude, etc, etc, etc...then Tryst deserves one star. But remember, this is Vegas. The bartenders are supposed to be hot, not highly skilled Tom-Cruise-Cocktails-The-Movie types. The clubs are supposed to be packed and expensive. There's supposed to be long line. There are plenty of assholes and snobby people!

Problem: Jukebox is okay, and okay is worth 3 stars, but I get offended by any business who calls themselves "best in the city" to raise my expectations and get me excited only to let me down with their absolute mediocrity. While it's possible that the absolutely mind-blowing burger I had at world-famous Fergburger in Queenstown, New Zealand ruined me for all future burgers, I actually believe that Jukebox just serves up average stuff. Sure, you can build your own burger at Jukebox, but you can do that at Harvey's too, and I prefer their product (and its price!) Jukebox has good fries though, and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a cool diner, but please don't rant and rave in your ads about being the best when your food leaves this customer feeling that you're nowhere close to the best. Sorry Jukebox, should'a played a better song.

Problem: Delicious food...great service, leaving a two star review due to employees loitering out front. We were staying with friends in loft above restaurant and employees sat at entrance and smoked leaving cigarette butts and trash in the planters. I heard management has been asked to stop this, but evidently it continues. I will change to a five star if this is corrected.
