Hello fellow yelpers! After four consecutive weeks of going to this bakery every Wednesday, I want to share just how great this bakery is. Chef Flemming loves his work, and it shows in every beautiful piece of pastry he displays, and in every bite that I take after buying a whole box full of them. He cares about the intricate details and takes his time to make every part of every pastry fresh daily. I've yet to see bread older than a day out on the shelves, and how he finds time to make new bread every morning is beyond me. Hardly anything is left on the shelves by 4pm, so get there in the morning for your loaves and cookies. When i first stopped in, I ordered the following: cream puff, neopolitan, eclair, oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies, a black and white cookie, yule log (mini cake), pistachio cheesecake, cream horn, fruit tart, and some petit fours. EVERYTHING--literally--was fantastic. He makes the pastry and the cream and chocolate from scratch every morning, and he adds his twist to the pastries. For example, his cream puffs are not only filled with pastry cream and whipped cream, but he adds a sliver of strawberry in there and it makes the whole experience divine. His nut rolls, oh--the pistachio cheesecake is killer--and his cookies are out of this world. I ordered two cakes for Christmas this year because I wanted one for our house and one to take to our friend's on Christmas day. You have to take the trip to Water Street for his bakery. I promise you won't be disappointed. Everything is excellent. Oh, and as for his bread--the challah bread is the best I've ever used for my orange french toast. You MUST try it. Not only is the atmosphere homey and inviting, but it's rare to find a bakery so intimate in Las Vegas. Chef pops his head out now and then to say hi to the customers. He's humble. I parked one day in the back and saw that he keeps his prices down probably because he doesn't have help in the kitchen. I assume that because I saw him mopping and cleaning by himself. Have fun, and go nuts when you stop by this bakery. It's now a weekly ritual that is a must in my plans. I drive from North Las Vegas every Wednesday just for his bread, cream puffs, and nut rolls, among the other things i grab because he makes new things all the time. Take the trip and bon apetit!

Oh my. Those cocktails. That sexy, intimate romantic-dungeon setting. Table service... well, 'table service' as the boy and I did not exactly sit at a table but a bench/bed alcove situation, scattered with pillows and lit with tealights. The space is quite small, and indeed it's a converted basement, but it's shiny and cosy enough to feel right at home in a speakeasy sort of way. The cocktail menu is fairly extensive and creative and the drinks, whilst not overly strong, are unique and delicious. One star off because of the music. I know it's in a popular area of New Town and it's a trendy bar, but I feel the intimate decor and sexy cocktails want more of smooth jazz-type tunes and they were blasting Beyonce (and I mean blasting - in such a small space we had to near shout to hear each other over the music, and we didn't even have a speaker in our alcove). If they'd turn the music down (yes, I'm an old biddy) it'd be a five-star spot for sure.

Considering that everything is expensive in Las Vegas, the price for this movie theater is very reasonable...only $8.00 per Adult and $7.00 for Children under 12 years old. It is located inside the Palms Hotel & Casino. Very clean except the seats...because so many people come all the way to Vegas to see a movie...like me...? Had no choice, the kids are not allowed to gamble at the Casino...go figure... Anyway, my friend an I babysitting so that the wives can go shopping...who comea all the way to Vegas to shop...? :-P

The fad of the $10.00 cup of watered down coffee and sticky bun has certainly taken off, but dam If I will continue to pay these rediculous prices not to mention deal with the dumbest way to pick up a cup of coffee in history of man. Small Cafe / Bakery / Coffee place in shops of Bellagio off the main elevators with some tables for a quick coffe. Etc. Unfortunately nothing is quick here. Nobody sitting but line is into the hallway. The ordering process is slow for whatever reason... and a simple Cafe Americana $4.00 and Bun $6.00 well took 10 minutes. Why NO CLUE. Each order is then given to 1 person to make and serve the coffee at the end. So if 4 people in front of you order double mocha chino cappuchinos with Soy etc.. (just an example) your simple pour my coffee in a container and hand it to me goes in the back of the line behind all the exotics. After waiting 10 minutes I finally said I simply ordered a black cup of coffee Sorry sir they are taken in order. Not to mention 4 people taking orders 1 person filling them NICE! Coffee itself was scalding hot - but weak like dirty dish water .. Sticky bun was actually good but between the ordering system, filling the orders.. prices and terrible coffee anything more than 1 Star would be a gift.. NOPE... EL PASO!
