Problem: So I did it. I stayed at the Plaza for a little staycation for 3 nights for my birthday. Despite all the negative reviews they were having a promotion buy 2 nights get 1 night (wednesday only) free so I said what the heck ill stay there. We paid $90 bux TOTAL for 3 nights..tues wed and thurs. That also included the $10/night "resort fee" which is bs. So the fee includes 2 bottles of water in your room for every night u stay, wi-fi and access to the pool and gym. The pool was fine it was small but it was clean and they played music so I have no complaints about that. The gym if you can even call it that, had a handful of extremely outdated cardio machines and guess what they did not work. Only 1 machine in the whole room worked and it was the 1990 elliptical! They had one weight machine and some dumbbells but i wanted to do cardio so I was disappointed. The wi-fi worked and I got my water 2 nights during my stay I did not get any on my 3rd day. So resort fee is crap. Next the rooms. We got 2 queens in the South Tower and we got a smoking room. Now bf and I dont smoke but we thought if any of our friends came down they could smoke in the room. Bad bad bad idea. The hallway getting off the elevator reeked of smoke then the room was just stank. It was to be expected but even 2 air fresheners didn't help the room smell any better. The sink was clogged and slow draining the whole time and the bathroom was so tiny. There were stains on the floor and it always felt wet so we had wear shoes the whole time. But alas it is the Plaza. My biggest complaint was that the power was out for a while and when we called the front desk to complain the lady who answered said it was no fault of theirs bc it was "an act of god". Did she really just say that? We asked if they had backup generators and they said yes but only for emergencies. Not that the power going out is an extreme emergency but come on its 100+ degrees in the summer in Vegas and im paying to sit in a room with no air and no tv and "its an act of god" is the best you can come up with? Straight bs. 2 stars are for the Pop Up Pizza place and the price we paid for 3 nights was hella cheap. What can I say you get what you pay for. I wont be back. Deuces Plaza.

Problem: We haven't had to do anything major at Best Buy, but they are always helpful when we go in. I've bought some laptops and awhile back had some issues with a couple HP laptops going bad. They promptly returned my money and once when I stopped by the HP and switched to Sony, no more issues. They give us good recommendations on products when we need it and ask. And sometimes even the solution isn't purchasing from Best Buy but elsewhere. This is the kind of service we like and makes them more trusted for us. Thank you, Best Buy!

Problem: To mix cultures, a Mexican Haiku: Carnitas tacos. Tableside guacamole. Vida Cantina! We stopped into Vida during their grand opening weekend, deciding that 5pm would be a reasonable time to try and catch a table without a reservation. We were almost turned away. The patio was packed. The inside was empty, but about to fill up. Consider yourself warned. If you go, you absolutely must try the tableside guacamole. It is made to order from three avocados (six halves), cilantro, onions, tomatoes (and who knows what else) in a giant stone mortar and pestle, which stays on the table. You unfortunately do not get to keep it. That would be amazing. This thing is as large as my head and I have a big head. If you're there with one other person, you should try this before ordering dinner. It might fill you up all by itself (and it doesn't really keep for the next day). If you have a large group, it will probably do as your only appetizer. Even after eating two bowls of chips with this guacamole - and salsa, which they mix with what seems to be adobo at the table to suit your heat preference - we still had a massive amount left to take home. For our meal, we had tortilla soup, corn with queso fresco (corn and cheese? Awesome.) and carnitas tacos. These might be the best tacos I've had in Charlotte. The pork was so tender that after my first bite, I wasn't sure if I had any meat in my mouth. It was that good. The second bite gave me a bit of the skin, which was crispy and juicy at the same time. But to eat meat that just melted in the mouth? Nice. I actually couldn't finish them because of the guacamole (unlike the guac, the tacos were good the next day). The only bad side? I wasn't terribly impressed with the sides. The rice was average, the corn was decent, but how bad can it be - put cheese on something after you grill it and it's going to be good. But still it seems like Vida is off to an excellent start. Service moved along nicely - I heard they had some bumps earlier in the week, but it seems they have them ironed out now. Why are you still reading? Go get some of that guacamole.

Problem: After living in vegas for two years from Boston I can finally say I found a sandwich shop that can deliver an east coast classic steak and cheese sub! Great steak and warm soft sub roll combine to bring utopia to your taste buds. Two thumbs up from me.
