PROBLEM: I've been to Nobu in Vegas twice before and in NYC once and always loved it, so, naturally, when in Vegas with a friend, we made a reservation for dinner. My friend is a big Nobu fan as well, and we were both disappointed with our experience this trip to Vegas. What was great about the service - that they brought the dish, explained it and then left us alone to enjoy food w/o constantly checking in w/ us - also turned out to be an issue. When we were ready to order more sake, we waited over 15 minutes, and, when no server had come to our table, my friend got up and found one to take our order.

The food this time was also a disappointment. The rock shrimp tempura wasn't as tastey as always, and the sushi rolls were just ordinary. Certainly not good enough for Nobu prices. The Miso Cod and Yellow Tail Sashimi were both delicious, but the others were sub-par for Nobu's reputation.

Sometimes, I'm not sure it's a good thing to have all the big name restaurants in Vegas... if the big name chefs are elsewhere, the Vegas fare seems to suffer.

SOLUTION: 3 stars

PROBLEM: Went in here for a "classic shave" after a night of gambling and winning. Thought I'd treat myself to a nice straight razor shave being on vacation and all.

I used a double edge razor at home and think of wet shaving with quality creams and using a badger hair brush to build lather as a nice relaxing way to take care of myself. I thought a professional would know how to handle a basic shave.

Wow, this shave was the opposite of enjoyable. I should have stopped the "master barber" from scraping at my face with a dull blade and leaving my face bloody and irritated. I should have stood up and walked away the moment that I noticed that she was shaving my face immediately after taking off the hot towel without applying any shaving cream. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and goddamn do I regret it.

She then tried to excuse her shoddy work and blamed it on me having "sensitive skin". Yes, blame your shoddy work and ill preparation on your client.

First of all, why would you need to make multiple passes of the blade if my hair was already short in the first place? and why would you make multiple passes WITHOUT ANY LATHER OR CREAM ON MY FACE?

I GET A BETTER SHAVE WITH A CHEAP CARTRIDGE RAZOR AND FACEWASH.

I went back up to my room and the irritation was getting worse and new spots of blood were appearing on my face, I then called down to the shop to speak to the manager, and she said she had another call and would get back to me(this was a lie because she obviously went to speak to the woman who gave me the shave). Then she stated the "you have sensitive skin" and then told me that after I've received a service there was nothing I could do.

She then told me she would call me back at my room to get back to me. I waited 30 minutes and she never called, nor left a message on my room phone. Why should I even have to wait for a callback in a hotel room on my vacation?

Terrible service on all levels. Repeated attempts to upsell expensive extras.

SOLUTION: 1 star

PROBLEM: Well ,let me start by saying, I had no problem getting an appointment. I've Been here twice, neither one was with Dr. Woodson My husband once, not with Woodson either.
My first visit was with Nick. Great guy. He was very pleasant and obviously knew I was desperate for help & had no insurance because he went to great lengths to give me samples and coupon codes. I went in with a bad rash all over my face and was immediately deemed staff infected. There was no culture done, but a prescription for ointments and antibiotics was written and 130 dollars later I was hopeful. A week later,
I cancelled my follow up appt two days before the set date because my face was looking cleared up and I did not have another 130 to spare on a quick peek at my progress. Well, 2 days later after all the ointments and meds ran out, there it was, back again, but worse! I quickly made an appt for the next day and this time saw a young woman Dr. She spent about one minute asking what I did for a living (for staff infection related purposes I suppose) and left the room. I wasn't feelin the love, AT ALL! A nurse gave me some samples and I was written a new prescription for even stronger antibiotics.So another 130 dollars later & still annoyed no culture was even offered and no questions about my daily facewash routine or anything came up, I paid and hoped for the best. After 2 weeks of very strong meds and new cream samples my face was looking great. Then guess what? 2 days later my face was again flared up. I decided after the lack of attention to detail I had experienced, I was not about to give them another dime.
I had an allergy test done and it turns out there is a chemical in all my cleaners (face wash, shampoo, laundry detergent, make up,hand soap & body wash) that I have been re acting to on and off on all parts of my body over the past 10 years. Im surprised a DERMATOLOGIST doesn't immediately discuss this chemical (which by the way is banned in the UK & Canada) with their patients. Its so simple. Sad Dr.s today aren't educated on the toxins in our everyday toiletries .

If anyone else is having an unexplained rash/ itchy hive type issues. Don't let a dermatologist rob you blind before you do research on a chemical called "Methylisothiazolinone". Google it. Theres also a Facebook page for sufferers of this and its sister chemicals to get support! copy and paste this link on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Allergy-to-Isothiazolinone-Methylisothiazolinone-and-Chloroisothiazolinone/307128722674171
