TASK DEFINITION: You are given a review about a place. You need to provide a rating from "1 star" to "5 stars" for this place.
PROBLEM: Was excited based on the reviews, but was nothing to write home about! The menu had a lot of choices but we went with a couple of classics to gauge it. We ordered a Caesar salad and spaghetti and meatballs. The Caesar was was more like Caesar soup. Soaked in dressing neither of us are more than a couple of bites. The spaghetti with meat sauce and a meatball was comparable to if you went next door to Smith's and bought a box of pasta and some ragu and throw in a microwaveable meatball. Trust me on this one you are better off just doing that.

The server came out and dropped off out meal while yelling at another employee on the phone to get back here because so and so was messing all the orders up and it was busy. Maybe that's why it was not very good. After those two dishes did not stay for the tiramisu as everyone suggested. Went next door to the cupcake place and enjoyed one of their cupcakes instead!

If you enjoy Italian whatsoever....do yourself a favor and skip it!

For those of you who say it's the best Italian in Vegas I recommend you try Montesanos instead.

SOLUTION: 2 stars

PROBLEM: It is so bad that I have to sign up Yelp so I can tell people not to waste their money. I ordered two take out dishes: Thai Dynamite chicken and Korean spicy beef. My verdict: a notch better than Panda, but cost the as much. I am Asian. My opinion of Pei Wei: go there if you like American Asian food. If you like something a bit more authentic, go to Asian Grill on Alma School and Riggs, only 5 mins away from Pei Wei. Cheaper too. Mind you, the restaurant is not good looking like Pei Wei.

SOLUTION: 1 star

PROBLEM: Booked this place through one of those travel site for an AMAZING deal! (Let's say cheap = under $100/night for a holiday weekend.)

The hotel is quiet, clean and rarely smells of smoke anywhere. The employees were all very friendly. The pool is tiny but was fully stocked with fresh towels.

Now, let's get to the important stuff: the room! It's not the best of Vegas views but for a room that you can actually walk around vs. just walking around the bed - this place is great! They give you a welcome package with gum, shampoo, hair gel and hair ties - Neat! The room comes with Starbucks coffee and tea as well.

Although it's off the strip, I would for sure come back for a second stay!

SOLUTION:
4 stars
