A: Horrible food!!! Everything tasted like all they did was sprinkle salt all over it. Ordered the flat bread tapas and it was covered in salt! You could see all the salt crystals all over the pita bread and even on the lettuce they give you. Then I had the lobster and shrimp Mac and cheese and it tasted even saltier! I will say though that they do give you a ton of lobster though. My boyfriend got the some chicken and mashed potatoes that was had way less salt so that was edible other than the chicken was over cooked. Worst meal I've ever had.

A: I am not at all a fan of the Cake Boss. I've never seen the show. However my cousin is and is the reason for my recent visit to Carlos's Bakery. When we got there the line wasn't as long as I expected from pictures that I've seen which I was pleased with. It was about a 25 minute wait to even get inside the bakery. When we finally got inside and waited for someone available to take our order the man didn't even look at me or ask if I had been helped before he greeted the lady behind me. I quickly said hello to him to get his attention, only then did he realize he skipped over me. My cousin and I had been standing for a while looking so we already had our order ready. I watched the man write down my order correctly and stepped aside to wait to be called. He called me over to check if my order was write. It was missing two things. I don't understand how you forget two things when you wrote it down and the case is literally two inches in front of your face, not to mention it wasn't a very big order. So I'm finally called up to pay and the women repeats my order back to me before charging me and everything she repeated was correct. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed she charged me for a "large chocolate cannoli" and not a "large chocolate chip cookie" even though she repeated back "cookie." The cannoli does cost more than the cookie so I was very upset with that. No one in this place has any sense of urgency. Everyone just kind of shuffles around slowly as if they didn't have a crowd outside of the door. When we sat down to eat our desserts I was desperately hoping they would at least be good enough to make all this worth it. But of course they weren't. All the desserts tasted like any other bakery. They weren't bad but weren't anything special either. If I wanted average food I would go to a regular bakery. The lobster tail was good, I'll give them that. But that's about the only good thing I have to say about it. All in all I would have to say I would never recommend this place to anyone. The workers are incompetent, the food is average and very over priced, and the wait time is ridiculous.

A: To all the people who tell me, "OMG, I LOVE MARQUEE," "IT'S THE BEST CLUB IN VEGAS," and "IT'S SO NICE AND SPACIOUS," what in the world are you smoking or did you get drunk to the point you blacked out and don't remember the venue?? My problem with Marquee is with the staff for both the Dayclub and Nightclub. Or maybe, my problem was that I just had way too high expectations and Marquee didn't deliver--yeah, that's it, too. Was in a long line for the dayclub on a Saturday afternoon. For the douche bouncer who was rude and disrespectful to our party and those in line, I understand you need to be strict and adhere to your job title, but damn, you could do away with the dirty glares and attitude in your voice. So our party ran into trouble as we were told we were put on the guestlist but turns out, we really weren't. The bouncer we talked to was not willing to hear our story and merely dismissed us when our names weren't on the list. Originally, we were looking at free for girls and $25 a guy. He tells us it'd be $25 a girl and $45 a guy since we weren't on the guestlist. We knew another party in Vegas that weekend and they later went to Marquee dayclub and got quoted free for girls, $30 a guy. OH, I love the consistency, thanks for NOT trying to help us, Marquee. Also, one of the guys in our party wasn't going to be let in because he didn't have on swimming shorts...? "There are holes so they're basketball shorts, not swimming shorts." BS, they're board shorts. Somebody tell me when did Fox start manufacturing basketball shorts 'cause last time I checked, they were a racing and surfing clothes company. So we bounced because the bouncers were being unreasonable and ended up at the pool at our hotel, I'll save that $25/$45, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. My most recent experience with Marquee was with Elisa C. for their nightclub on a night Avicii was playing. I expected it to be packed and a fun night, and while Avicii was pretty damn good, the rest of my experience at Marquee is something I hope to never experience again. It's super crowded when there is a big name playing, I understand that, but WTF WHY CAN'T I MOVE AND GO ANYWHERE? I get reprimanded by security when I lean against railings, I get hustled to keep moving when I'm "blocking" the walkway but there's honestly NO WHERE to go (yeah, I'll just keep moving in damn CIRCLES around the club), and I can't even sit down anywhere because the only places you can find a seat if you don't have bottle service is on those giant flower pots that everybody and their moms are hogging because their feet are hurting from standing. The dancefloor is TINY and there are assholes who are shoving to get to the front and pouring their drinks all over me because they can't keep their damn hands still as they're moving through the crowd. Yet again, there's NO WHERE to go because you're sandwiched between hoards of people who are too drunk to function or high off their minds. That's Marquee on a busy night for you. Even outside where the pool and cabanas are is PACKED. The recurring question of "where can I go?" reappears and I'm left walking in circles around the club AGAIN. Thanks Marquee, thanks. I'd probably be less annoyed and irritated at Marquee if I wasn't in tall heels and struggling to keep my feet painless throughout the night...but when people boast about this place being a great venue and one of the top clubs in Vegas and I didn't see that, that's a problem. I'll probably give the dayclub and nightclub another chance in the near future, but first retrain your staff and then I'll see whether it's worth going or not.

Q: negative

A:
Can I give a place zero stars? Or better yet, a negative rating? No? Well then I'll just write out why that might need to be introduced (at least zero stars) and I'll let you decide. Next Coffee sucks. The food sucks, the coffee sucks, the staff sucks (not as people, I'm sure they're all fine upstanding citizens, but generally not people I would want working at my hypothetical coffee shop). The food consistently tastes old and stale. The coffee continues to look more like an oil spill than anything any human should be ingesting. If the carafes ever were cleaned, I might be able to taste something other than that film on my coffee. The staff still seems as inattentive as they've ever been. Much happier chatting to each other rather than actually serving the customers. The wifi works....for PCs. For whatever reason, Macs seem to have problems connecting to their network. Also, they removed the student discount for orders under $10. Here's what really annoys me though: they have ZERO impetus to improve or provide a decent product in any way, shape, or form. Students will go there. Students will buy their terrible food and drink their disgusting coffee. They can take away the discount, and students will still go there because it's the easiest option. They will continue to make money off of the customers that will flock there from the medical school next door. Coffee and a place to study is all any medical student really needs. Next, to be fair, provides these. In the same way that an old banana peel and tissue paper could provide food and shelter. They have their market cornered and can happily drop the quality of product since, no matter what, stressed and under caffeinated students will show up. If the place showed any positive signs whatsoever, I might be willing to give them another chance. But for now, I'm gonna go to any of the number of coffee shops in the region that provide a decent product. The easy option is definitely not the right one in this case.
