Problem: I think I may be generous with the 2 stars.....we were served rancid olive oil (on asparagus), crispy paella (EVERY other time it has been cooked - not al dente), and Iberico ham that was kind of 'meh.' Very loud - hard to hear conversation at out 2 top. Server was lukewarm, clearly not thrilled to be there. My advice? If you need to drop some money quickly use a slot machine instead. We actually did and won a bunch of money! At Serrano's you wont win anything but hopefully will find a bite or two of actual 'AUTHENTIC' Spanish cuisine, which is better than we did.

Problem: Made the mistake of not reading the accurate reviews of the shady business practices. I have rented cars literally over a hundred times and this is by far the most fraudulent shady business location I have ever encountered in the world. The first hint that something is shady is that they spent an exorbitant amount of time trying to get you to buy their insurance and come up with all these crazy reasons you need it which other car companies will gladly assist you with. They say you have to pay for an old battery that goes dead, you have to pay for a a damaged tire, etc regardless if it was your fault or not. I have never heard of such nickel and diming. They also heavily emphasize that you have to pay for any repair time. The real problem is when you return the car the person inspecting the car is guaranteed to find something wrong with the car, even tiny things like a tiny chip in the window or paint chipped off or small dents, etc. They will find something and they will make you pay dearly. I am sure they get a bonus for writing down any possible damage on the car. I am sure after they collect the additional money from you they spend absolutely none of it to fix the car so they can blame the next person for the damages and so on and so on so everybody pays for the damages from the customer from 50 rentals previous. This is how they make their money. Whatever enjoyment you got from your trip to Vegas will be completely obliterated when you have to deal with Budget when you return the car. This is beyond a classless business. You have been warned. Read all of the reviews both recommended and not recommended. The Reviews not recommended will support all of the recommended reviews. Avis, Alamo in my opinion are the best, never once was I nickel and dimed and fraudulently schemed like at Budget. Enterprise and Hertz are ok but their cars aren't the greatest and sometimes they are damaged but they will not try to make sure you are to blame from a previous renter's damage like this Budget place will do. Although other Budget places may not have such shady practices, Las Vegas Budget is by far the seediest. I don't know if this is their business model as the best and easiest way to make money off of their customers, but I will never rent from them again. Shame on me for getting scammed this time. I would be a total foolish moronic idiot to ever rent from here again. Negative stars would be a more accurate portrayal. This place just makes my blood boil. Disclaimer: I am actually being nice in this review. I would rather say a whole bunch of expletives on how awful this experience was. Whoever defends this place obviously works for them or is related to somebody who is a manager here. I wouldn't be surprised if all of the positive reviews come from employees and managers here. I do not see how anybody could have a pleasant experience here. They probably will treat you a little better if you bought all of their expensive extra insurance and were paying full price with no discount. You are warned.

Problem: To echo the previous reviewers, now I know that I was right to trust my instinct and have not been inside a Golden Coral Buffet until yesterday. At first when you walk in, you feel like you are in for a treat. Don't let the varieties fool you. The food is absolutely bland, tasteless and poorly prepared. Do you remember what your college cafeteria's buffet style food taste like? This is just like it. Out of all the options, there were only two things that I actually liked, their strawberry shortcake and their yeast rolls...even the yeast rolls are a bit strange, who wants honey on their rolls? If you are like me, looking for the butter, you won't find any, apparently it's a golden coral thing to have honey rolls. If you try to get soup, they will all be so salty that you might as well have drank ocean water, other than that ocean water is poisonous but the soup here may as well be because you can't drink them anyway. The lasagna is so hard it is like a brick. To quote what my cousin literally said after he took a bite from his lasagna, "oh man this tastes like crap". My tortilla chips were pretty terrible, nothing but grease, no flavor no texture. Sautee mushroom too salty again and was cooked in pure fat. Service-wise, pretty poor. You have to pay upfront before you eat, the lady at the cashier was quite rude. She is kind of slow and she gave us one less drinks than we paid for...We asked her for an extra drink, not only were she not apologetic, she even had an attitude. Way to go Golden Coral for putting someone like that as the first person your customers will encounter at your restaurant. As for the staffs who comes around to pick up your used buffet plates, they try. However, they need to be a bit more strategic. For the hour or so that I was dining at the restaurant, I heard at least 5 or 6 times where the staffs dropped plates or cups and spilled ice and drink on the floor. They also look like they are overwhelmed with plates by carrying way too many at a time. The bathrooms needs extreme attention, it really smells bad in there. Maybe this is their way of making sure customers leave asap and not stick around for long.

Problem: The Mirage is a great hotel if you are looking for a nice hotel, in the middle of the strip that doesn't break the bank. I especially enjoy the Mirage pool and their newly renovated rooms. The only downside is that their suites are in desperate need of renovation right now as well, and I think they are in the process of doing that, so perhaps my next visit will warrant 5 stars. If you are looking for a great hotel to have a party (bachelor, bachelorette type thing), then Mirage suites are perfect as they are large and not too expensive. Don't bother with the Siegrfried & Roy Gardens....for $15 it's a rip-off, however, the "be a trainer for the day with the dolpihns" package sounds cool (but not sure how much that is). If you do stay at the Mirage, be sure to check out the Beatles LOVE show and BLT Burger. Japonaise is also awesome. As for gambling....cross the street and play at Imperial Palace for looser slots and cheaper table games. Good luck and have fun!
