A: I've had mostly good experiences here, but tonight at the drive-thru was ridiculous. I'm a very patient person but I almost lost it with, Veronica, who is supposedly, assistant manager. I ordered a bowl and wanted to pay with a remaining gift card balance. She told me the card wasn't reading. Ok. She tried covering it in plastic and told me that wasn't working and that's what they do when cards don't work. I know this. I used to work a cash register. Fix it and get me my food. It's already been 7 minutes. I told her type it in. She tells me she can't. I said again, type it in. Again she says she cannot. I ask for a manager because clearly she is incompetent. She informs me she is the one in charge. WOW! I'm amazed. Shocked. She then tells me she is going to another register. She finally comes back and tells me she typed it in. Way to go! I'm truly appalled people like this have jobs and think they can demand 15/hr. Veronica and the other employees at this place need some training. I'm sorry to go off like this, but people like that shouldn't be in charge.

A: Big airport with long taxis into your gate if you're unlucky (which I was). Surly TSA folks who don't like the human phlegm cavorting through their airport. That's the bad. The good? People watching equals a 10+ for sure! Warmer than Cincinnati in the winter (that was easy). Fun to fly in at night as you can see Vegas' lights screaming at you in the middle of all that blackness from at least 100 miles out, and that's a once in a lifetime experience (or is it?) So very many droopy heads inside this airport though! Looks like a lot of you flyers have a case of the Mondays! Extraordinary numbers and degrees of those pesky hangovers are apparent at this airport. Side note: I've never seen so many women, young and old, go through an airport in velvet pajama bottoms. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just a Vegas anomaly I suppose.... Why in the name of God would I give Las Vegas International McCarron Airport 4 stars? Slot machines everywhere, at every terminal food court and even randomly placed in otherwise nondescript terminal walkways! Screw USA Today and a Starbucks latte at 515 AM, let's hit some more slots, people!

A: When you hear about salt these days, it's usually presented as a villain. A lot of people don't understand that when applied reasonably, it is the most important tool in your kitchen. The cooks at Pure seem to fall into this category, and the mediocre food is quite overpriced for what it is. Pure was a disappointment. We went because a coupon mailed out when the restaurant opened was still languishing beneath a magnet on the fridge, but I don't think we'll be going back. The place has the unfortunate characteristic of placing trendiness over taste. The decor was cool and the music was loud, but the food was unfortunately bland. The rice and beans on the side were ok, but the fish tacos and tostadas that were our main courses were forgettable, especially considering that they were not cheap! Both of our meals required a significant amount of at-table salting-and-peppering to have any hint of taste at all. It's too bad we didn't have the entire spice drawer at our table. We could have put it to good use. Now, I'm not the sort of (home) cook who takes offense when people salt or pepper my food after I serve it. Everyone has different tastes. However, a diner should never need to pour on as much as we did. There are better Mexican-ish options in the area, such as Azteca, or heck, even Chipotle. Skip this one. I give Pure a point for the service; otherwise, this would be a single-star review.

A:
The Worst the worst the WORST ! Can you tell I am not a fan? My guy and I went here last night around 7pm.. We were told that there was a 40 minute wait..I walked around the restaurant and it was about 1/4 full.. It is a huge place , and there was about 10 tables with customers, the rest were empty, clean, and waiting for someone to sit in. Seriously, why am I waiting 40 minutes ? 40 minutes come and go and we come back , now there is about 2 parties in the dining room and we are still waiting to be sat, finally I give the hostess an evil glare and we are sat. Right next to the kitchen. there is about 50 empty tables and we are sitting right next to the kitchen ?! really? So then we sit , and sit, and sit.. My boyfriend says we will give them 5 more minutes and then we will leave. 4 minutes in and our waiter shows up looking like he has been working his butt off , I look around wondering why he looks so overwhelmed, There are a dozen servers and now about 5 tables being occupied.. This guy is a mess, he can't look us in the eye, takes out drink orders and runs off without taking our food orders..Which we obviously were ready to give seeing how we sat there for 15 minutes before a server even approached our table. He then scurries around randomly , we just watch him..another 8 minutes go by and we see him walk in our direction stop , look at us, realization that he never gave us our beers dawns on his face and he runs back towards the bar. This pretty much goes on like this all night. It took us about 45 minutes to get out check at the end. Now , my guy and I have both been servers, so we always tip 20% ... it pained me to even tip him at all. He did nothing . other people brought us our food and cleared our dishes..he never checked on us,never refilled our drinks, never asked if we wanted another beer, or even dessert..which I was dying to try the bananas.. but couldn't even order them because he NEVER came back. WTF. Just looked at my receipt..The server is named Ruben .. The food was complete garbage. $10 for a tiny bowl of mediocre guacamole with NO chips ! Our entrees which were grossly overpriced were as bland as taco bell. Do yourself a favor and NEVER go here.
