Really good food, warm atmosphere, clean, and a great sever! Caprese sandwich and salmon with mushroom risotto were delicious with quality, tasty ingredients. Server was very knowledgable about beer and provided good service.

I was pretty disappointed in the buffet at TI. I wasn't expecting gourmet, but I was definitely expecting better than I received. Just like any other Vegas buffet, there was a line but it wasn't too long (maybe that should have been a clue..). The place is nicely laid out and there was plenty of seating (another sign). When I go to a buffet, I just don't start grabbing food. I like to cruise the entire buffet to see what my choices are so then I know how to handle portion control. And I never start eating without checking out the dessert section so I know how much room to save. Needless to say, I was disappointed in the dessert options so that almost immediately ruined the whole buffet for me. Luckily I wasn't paying so that managed to keep me open minded enough to eat. The food should at least look freshly prepared but much of what I saw looked like it sat under the heat lamps for most of the night, and it wasn't even that late yet. It'll fill you up and the price isn't ridiculous, but I prefer the buffet at Bellagio. Unless someone else is paying, I probably won't return.

This is a great place for first time visitors or those with kids. It's educational and a nice diversion from all the lights, drunkards of Sin City esp if you come here during the cooler times of the year. Early summer but mid to late summer, it's challenging to be outdoors here. Luckily, there are strategically placed buildings where you can cool off in between exhibits and shows. This Spring Preserve provides a history of Nevada, narratives with interactive displays and even a flash flood demo which is really interesting if not a little scary. (A real flash flood happened in Vegas right after we left) Kiddo went on the insect safari and enjoyed catching a cicada. There are plenty hanging on the trees and you'll hear the screeching drone of these little creatures. This place is still in development and I'm sure there will be more to come. So check it out. The restaurant here is good. (See my other posting)

Excellent independent coffee shop. Hometown feel with NoDa culture. Staff is friendly and the locals are interesting. Good place to relax or have laid back business meeting. Free Wifi and rocking chairs don't hurt either.
