Q: So I've stayed with this hotel a total of 3 times. I tried to like this hotel, I really did. At first glance this looks like a nice modern hotel. But after staying here the a few more times each experience just kept going down hill. The first time we stayed at The Rumor, it was great, it was only for 1 night and we got a good deal for it being Memorial Day 2012 weekend. We had no problems what so ever, the beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Moving on to the 2nd attempt, the week/weekend of Electric Daisy Carnival 2013. I say "attempt" because we booked the room in February of 2013 straight from the Rumors website, so that is MONTHS in advance. The main reason why we booked at the Rumor is because the Hard Rock is across the street and there is a shuttle stop for EDC at the Hard Rock. (Before I continue my story, if you don't know what EDC is, it is pretty much the busiest time for Vegas, 150K+ people come from all around the world to experience an amazing music festival. Hotels up their prices to ridiculously high prices and SELL OUT) A few weeks before we check in the Rumor sends me a confirmation email, great right?! So my group & I arrive to the hotel super excited to check in and get the week long party started. We go to check in and the girl is in the process of checking us in when all of a sudden she ups & leaves to go into the back room with no explanation and is back there for 10 minutes. When she finally comes back out she has this certificate for us for a complimentary 2 night stay that is good for the rest of the year. Now I bet you're wondering "why is she complaining if they gave her a free room?" That's because the free room came with a HUGE cost. She then proceeds to tell us that they overbooked the hotel and are moving us to a different hotel (that I've never even heard of) that happens to be a mile away. By then we are livid and try arguing with them, about how they could give our room away when we booked way back in February and it is now June. We go to this other hotel: 1 - it looks like a jail 2 - it only had a king size bed with barely any room to walk around the bed Luckily, we told the desk boy about our situation and he sympathized with us and helped us by telling the Rumor that they couldn't accommodate us and that they needed to take us back. We even had our friend's mom who is a travel agent call the Rumor and they were really rude to her. After 4 hours of being hotel-less and arguing with the Rumor, they finally moved us to Tuscany, which has about the same size rooms, BETTER service and CLEANER rooms. Now on to my most recent stay. (We only went back to use the free certificate) This past weekend for St. Patty's day weekend. We get there around Friday night and I notice that the beds don't have comforters on them. But they do have those thin sheets that no one ever uses. When we called them for comforters because i do remember them having comforters before, they said they'd bring some over, and what do they bring? The same thin sheets that were already on the bed. Needless to say that we were all freezing at night. With all the bad experiences stacking up, I don't think I will ever stay here ever again, I rather spend more money at a nicer hotel and get a better experience.

Q: I love this place. It's my favorite breakfast spot in all of Las Vegas. And I'm not even a breakfast person. The staff is really good with the flagger egg thing they have. The menu is absolutely adorable. The food is always fresh and served sizzling. What more can you ask for? I'm the two hundredth something review. If an establishment is getting that many reviews, it must be good.

Q: I had my 40th class reunion here on Saturday night. What a great venue! It was perfect for our group (which was about 100 people). It's an old church with beautiful stained glass windows and lots of different seating areas. They had a great sound system too. We had a cash bar and lighter food since we didn't have the resources to have a sit down dinner. By the way, Len Cefalo, the owner of this wonderful space, worked with us and was so accommodating since we didn't actually know how many were actually going to attend. It couldn't have turned out better. The food and service were terrific. I would recommend Cefalo's if you want a greta space for your next event.

Q: I love checking out new places, and Yelp has helped me find some real gems. I have had Emery's on my radar for a bit... but the reviews on Yelp seems to be a bit all over the place, with almost every review being either 5 star or 1 star. So I refrained from visiting until this past weekend. My husband wanted to take me to a new place, and he loves Italian food, so we went to Emery's Saturday evening for dinner. We started out with iced teas and an order of the bruchetta. I noticed there was a birthday party in the next room, and I hope that it would not impact the service we received. Thankfully it did not, our drinks were never empty and our appetizer came out quickly. For dinner, my husband had linguine with marinara sauce and I went with one of the specials for the evening, lobster ravioli. We both got dinner salads with our meals, and my husband added on a bowl of soup. Salads and the soup came out first, and again it was fairly quickly. The salads were basic, with a nice balsamic vinaigrette dressing. My husband was not thrilled with the pasta fagioli soup. He said it was clearly homemade, he just prefers a thicker soup. He would not pay the $5 to add on either the soup or salad again. We were both very pleased with our entrees. My lobster ravoli was stuffed with large chunks of lobster and the pasta was obviously freshly made that evening. My husband's linguine was also freshly made and the marinara sauce was deliciously seasoned. We finished our evening off with an order of tiramisu to go. I am so glad I did not let the bad reviews of Emery's keep me away any longer... We didn't experience any of the issues mentioned in the bad reviews. Our server was friendly and food came out in a reasonable amount of time, considering we could both see and taste that the pasta was freshly made that night (which takes time). We will definitely be back.
