Problem: What would be an example of an negative review?

Answer: Its not a great thing when going to somewhere for what you think is for the first time, and getting there and realising you have been there before. Yep, The Wash Bar failed so misserably to make an impression last time I was here, I had totally forgotten about it. That pretty much describes the night I had, uneventful and a bit boring to be honest.The bar isnt great, and I felt somewhat on the expensive side. There arent enough seats, despite the size of the bar, and from what I could tell it was a place where much younger people come to drink. Still not a fan, but at least I wrote it down this time, so I wont forget.

Problem: What would be an example of an positive review?

Answer: I took my wife here for a surprise birthday getaway, and selected this place entirely based on Yelp reviews. Man, did I score. As hotels go it doesn't get much better than this, at least not in this lifetime. It certainly helps that this place is new and has opted for subtle elegance rather than the gaudiness that characterizes so much of Vegas. I love that you don't have to walk out of the place through a casino. The level of service we received was exceptional. For the trip to the airport we were picked up by one of the house Mercedes Benz wagons. Our driver Mongo couldn't have been more helpful. On arrival hotel staff greeted us at the door and (!) walked us up to our room and personally checked that everything was in order and educated on the fantastic multimedia controls that work on everything from the curtains in the room to the 'alarm clock' (which gently opens the curtains at the time you select, a nice touch), to viewing and managing your bill from the TV. In terms of location this place is in exactly the right spot, between the Aria and New York. And on the New York side there is a Wallgreens with anything you need (but alas, at LVNY strip prices). I didn't partake of the on-site restaurants but my wife did and raved about everything, from the pork-belly skewers in the bar to the fresh squeezed watermelon juice at breakfast. Other folks have complained about having to go up to the 23rd floor to check in and then every time you go from your room to the outside, but it's because the architects obviously had security in mind when the place was designed. I for one am happy for an extra layer of insulation level separating us from the seediness that is the Las Vegas strip.

Answer:
The overall concept is cool where you can get individual sized portions, but that's just a gimmick. I can see it working from a standpoint of people taking more than they can eat and then not finishing, but it's also a pain to fill up your plate with 4 other plates or pots or whatever they are and then have to keep running back up to get something else. It's their way to have you pay more for less. Desserts are desserts, I don't need to fill up on that, I'd rather have lots of food selection than worry about how many desserts there are. I agree with the one poster where if you see that's all people are posting in pictures, then there's probably a reason for it. Since I'm not glued to going to the Strip and live in Vegas, I'd rather go to the M where at least you get free alcohol and I can pile my plate up to my heart's content. Nice concept, poor execution.
