output: Si, ci sono Italiano, ma il cibo non buona. (Yes, its Italian, but the food is no good) Red Rocks Casino has covered it's Italian Restaurant quota, by offering Terra Rossa. The food is uninspired, overpriced, and disappointing. There are better options in this casino, and since they are all in an earshot of Terra Rossa, it is no wonder that there are many open seats here all the time. We sat for about 10 minutes while different waiters looked at us, but didn't walk over to begin service. Then throughout the meal we had three different servers. I'm not sure why they kept switching, and they didn't mention it which was odd. When we didn't order wine, the waiter showed his displeasure immediately. I waited tables for a long time, and know that a couple splitting an entree with no wine is not going to be a huge bill, but that doesn't justify rudeness. We split an entree, and a dessert. Our Order: Vegetable Risotto - Poor knife work on the vegetables left some undercooked and others mushy. The colors were quite nice in this dish, and resembled a pasta primavera but with risotto. The risotto was cooked properly, although with too much cream. The ingredients should still shine in risotto, not be masked by heavy butter and cream. Tiramisu - Not bad, but nothing special either. It tasted like it came out of the freezer section of your local grocer, which I didn't really mind all that much. The issue with this though, is that nobody wants to dine out for something you can have at home, and at a reasonable price. I did enjoy the olives and bread that were brought out before the meal, but that is hardly enough to give my experience a good review. Avoid this subpar Italian effort, and dine in one of the other good restaurants at Red Rocks.

output: I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED! I was advised by no less than 5 people NOT to shop at Trop-aquarium. I have learned my lesson, and will NEVER return. I have a new 65 gal tank, which was professionally installed in my wall. They had no fish to sell, but advised me to shop for fish ANYWHERE BUT Trop-aquarium. When the tank was ready, lured by the BOGO deal, I ended up shopping for fish at Trop-A. TWICE. On my first visit, customer service was worse than poor. I attributed it to them being busy (about 6-8 customers). I bought 6 small f/w fish and left. I must be a glutton for punishment, because I went back 2 weeks later. On my second visit, I bought 8 fish on the BOGO offer. One Groumie (at $5.98) was very sick, and did nothing but lay on the bottom of the tank hidden under a brain-coral. I took it back. The 'lady' assisting me had all the finesse of a rabid dog. After testing my water (which had been done the day before) she reluctantly told me that she would give me $2.98 credit. I said I just wanted to replace the fish I had returned with the same kind. She said that they didn't have any more of them - so my ONLY option was to get something different - and PAY the difference. I told her that I felt like I should get a fish of EQUAL VALUE to the sick one that I had returned. She refused, and told me that I could take the $2.98 she had offered, or nothing at all. Her attitude was incredibly snotty, and I opted for NOTHING, rather than deal with her. Pissed-off, I told her where she could put both the sick fish and her puny $2.98 credit. I left the store, after vowing to write this review, and never return as a customer. What a FOOLISH way to run a business! They lost a customer who will spend about $250 - 300 in the next few months. The woman 'helping' me (who appeared to be the manager) knew that I was going to return to buy a $120 light hood, and lots of the supplies that a new tank owner normally needs. She lost nearly ONE HUNDRED TIMES in store business, over the $3.00 additional credit I was due. Additionally, I will warn as many as possible NOT to shop at Trop-aquarium. I hope that future customers will be smarter than I was, and heed the warning to NOT SHOP AT TROP-AQUARIUM.

You couldn't ask for a better vet than Dr. Todd, he's freaking awesome. I noticed Greg the desert tortoise had a soft shell when I picked him up to clean out his habitat. I freaked. It was a Saturday evening and I called around to find somewhere to take him. The 24 hour vet hospital doesn't take exotic animals. I googled his symptoms and his condition sounded grave. I turned to Yelp and found Avian and called first thing Monday morning for an appointment. I was able to be seen the same day. The office visit was only $55. The receptionist and vet tech were super friendly. Dr. Todd is a wealth of knowledge regarding desert tortoises and I'm sure all other reptiles. He threw so many facts and information at me, my head was spinning but I was happy to listen. He knew the answer to every single one of my questions and he even mentioned that the Arizona Game and Fish Dept. consults him for building desert tortoise habitats. Greg is on the road to recovery and will be completely well in 4-6 weeks. He needed more sunlight and grass in his diet. Thanks Avian!
