Problem: I had a soft spot for Gardunos because it was where I had my first date with my husband back in 1998. Back then, it was located in the middle of the Fiesta Casino. The food was amazing (I'm of Mexican decent and know my Mexican food). Fast forward to this last weekend. I haven't eaten here in about 5+ years now and was really looking forward to a nice meal and margarita. I ordered the blue corn chicken enchilada stack with green salsa, the charro beans and posole. I should have asked if they could make it with regular corn. I think it might have been better? The tortillas where tough and flavorless. the green sauce was hardly existent and the same for the cheese and chicken. I lost interest in the tortilla and ate the little bit of chicken and cheese. The flavors were nothing special. The charro bean were my favorite though. Excellent flavor and reminded me a little of the ones my mom would make. The posole was not very good. No flavor and the meat was dry (in the soup!). My daughter had the stuffed sopapillas and those where pretty good. Nothing special though. The margarita sampler was a cool idea but because they are samples, they make them all on the rocks. They didn't have enough ice and each was warm. Not what you expect from a refreshing drink. The hostess was excellent and sweet as can be, the waitress never came back to check on us or refill our waters. I see the other reviews and I'm so sad to know that they went downhill.

Problem: I could see the warning signs when my friends said they wanted to eat here. Fancy but somewhat nauseating decor (I can't explain it, but I had problems looking at the ceiling, it has some weird pattern to it). Techno music over the speakers. Maybe I'm spoiled by living near San Francisco and having easy access to good, cheap Chinese food. Kung pao chicken was average at best. The sauce for ma po tofu was kind of unusual underneath the chili and spices. And $2 for a small bowl of rice per person? Wow. The one thing I didn't mind about this place were the noodles. They had a nice texture, but unfortunately the broth was lukewarm. Overall, not a place I would go to again. Honestly, Panda Express may have been a better idea.

Problem: I love getting my nails done and haven't had them done in well over two years. So, I during some mommymetime I got my nails done before relaxing at a movie. I said I want a pedicure and a gel manicure. I was asked if I want them both done at the same time...I should have said no. Very awkward position. I don't recommend it. Both went okay, but I'm noticing little things. The paint on my toes is already chipping. My nails bubbled after leaving the salon. I now have two nails with bubbles which means I will eventually start picking at it. And...at $56 there were no nail decorations at all. You mean I would have to pay over $60 to have a flower? Seriously? No thanks. Won't be back. Update: It's now July 22 and six days since my gel manicure. It's chipping! I thought the first nail was an anomaly but no. In addition to the bubbling that happened on three nails (I found more bubbles on a different nail) my thumbs have visibly chipped. I am beyond pissed. I've looked at the nails of my friends and while I wasn't sure what to expect, I should still get longer wear than a regular manicure. Ridiculous....

Problem: Nothing beats late night cheap food in Vegas. They deliver until 6AM (right to your hotel too)!! And they open again at 11 AM! Food quality / taste is one thing, but they definitely deserve a 4-star for opening and delivering late. Save their # in your cell phone as you would for a promoter's # when you go to Vegas. It'll come in handy on one of the nights, trust me.
