Problem: I DONT GET IT. This a la carte culture in the food world is getting ridiculous. More money for less food. It would be one thing if the food was really good, but it's just okay. 10 dollars for a bowl of heirloom tomato wedges?? The server was nice enough and knowledgable, but that's about it. Don't waste your time. Also the valet service in that strip mall is terrible. Complementary service? Sure why not! They insisted that I just have them park it so I obliged. Except They pulled up ten minutes after I gave them my ticket because they don't know what they're doing, and it's not that big of a lot. And they pulled up with my girlfriends car with the trunk open. Why? who knows. So. 30 dollars for a hamburger, a tomato salad, and a bowl of coffee (just put it in a mug, for goodness sake), plus a 6 dollar tip is 20%, and then a tip for the incompetent valet if you're not a crappy person is over 40 dollars just for lunch. If you're a rich person who needs somewhere to spend your money, go to Little Spoon. If you're just a person who wants good food at a reasonable price (or even someone who doesn't mind paying more for ACTUALLY good food with decent portions), then go somewhere else. Just finished this review shortly after my meal and I'm already hungry, if that gives you an idea.

Problem: I've been to many a beer fests and a few hosted by Motley Brews. I had a great time at this festival. VIP tickets were $55 in advance and included admission to the private VIP area (complete with special brews and free food), early admission (get in at 2PM instead of 3PM), and admission to the entire event. It was definitely worth it and I would highly recommend doing VIP at beer fests if you have the funds to do so. First, the food in the VIP area was delicious and helped me maintain a certain level of sobriety throughout the afternoon. The portions were small enough to allow me to sample all the items (spicy sausage, mac and cheese, and yummy tacos with mango salsa) but big enough to keep me full. The area for the event at Sunset Park was much smaller than I had anticipated and looked much bigger on the map. For this reason, it was hard to tell where some of the lines began and ended. A tad annoying, but oh well. I love that they provided a detailed map so I could plan out my afternoon accordingly without having to scope out the area too much. I also appreciate that they had hydration stations set up with tons of water and the awesome mister fan thing was going. As most people lamented about, it was a really hot afternoon attributed to a really hot random week in April, but hey, Motley Brews can't control the weather so it's silly to ding them for that. Parking was a pain though. I don't remember any signage on the street pointing us in the right direction, and the parking staff seemed a tad clueless on how to organize and direct traffic. Also, the ladies restrooms ran out of toilet paper during the afternoon and the sinks (while I'm thankful they had sinks) also ran out of paper towel. I wished there had been a set of private bathrooms in the VIP area. It would've just been a nice added touch for the money. I know some people complained about the size of the tasting cup (about 4oz), but it's a tasting cup! The goal is sample beer, not get smashed (although I know many people had that goal going into the event). If you really wanted to appreciate beer and find new favorites, it was a decent sized cup to accomplish the task.

Problem: If you're staying at the Luxor, this is probably your best bet inside the resort for food. When I stayed here, it was for a sales convention. I went when I first arrived at the hotel, and then two nights later with coworkers. My first visit, I had a margarita and some chips and salsa. It took about 15 minutes for the bartender to even ask me what I'd like to drink. The bar was dead, except for a couple sitting to my left who were loud, obnoxious, and had zero class and foul-mouthed language at 2PM on a Tuesday. Second visit, I had the shrimp quesadillas-- they were okay. A little too cheesy, and a little less shrimpy, but they were good. Probably because this is a very Americanized version of Mexican food, more like a Chili's. Best part was my typical gigantic refillable Vegas margarita glass which I refilled about two more times before I left on Friday.
