Problem: This is a new, high-end Chinese fine dine eatery in the Palazzo Hotel and Resort. It essentially replaced the former high-end Asian restaurant called "Woo." We chose to try this restaurant only because of a voucher we received in a hotel package. The voucher allowed us to take $30 off of a bill of at least $60 total. We thought, "what a good deal!" Well, on second thought, NO it wasn't! The food: Overpriced Chinese food. I hate to say this, because to the contrary of popular belief, there IS such a phenomenon as expensive, high-quality Chinese cuisine that is absolutely worth paying for. Zine, however, is NOT such a phenomenon. While the description of the restaurant alluded to a variety of Asian dishes on the menu, it mainly Chinese cuisine, with the exception of a few Vietnamese "phou" dishes. Mao Pao Tofu = 20 dollars Sirloin Beef Cubes = 30 dollars Cup-size Hot/Sour Soup = 8 dollars And no, the quality of the food was not worth the extra charge. The presentation was sloppy (I swear the noodle joint @ Bellagio (Noodles) can do better than this). The taste? Sure it was good and tasty, but I am absolutely convinced you can find this same taste and quality from a local Asian eatery (probably on Spring Mtn Road) 5 minutes away by car. Service: I have to admit the service was top-notch. They constantly checked on my table, asked us if we needed anything else, and it made me realize I should focus my criticism not on the staff that was simply working here trying to make a living, but the overzealous owner or hotel mastermind behind this careless restaurant concept. Here is a warning to those who are planning to use a similar voucher at any of these Palazzo restaurants: they will automatically calculate the 18% gratuity based on your ORIGINAL total, not the discounted total. So while my bill essentially came out to around $50 dollars for two people, the 18% tip was based on a total of course $90. Overall: I would probably not come back here again unless there is a miraculous price adjustment to their menu. I would to reiterate that I am a proponent of expensive Chinese food, though it must prove its extra worth through quality and taste. Zine does not justify the price of its menu and I truly believe that without the voucher currently being offered to Palazzo residents, Zine would see little business in far future.

Problem: The only thing that the Flamingo has going for it is the location smack in the middle of the Strip and the pool. I've stayed in generic inns in the middle of nowhere that had better rooms than this! Our room was old and the beds weren't exactly what you would call comfy. 'Seedy' was the word that popped into my head the minute we walked in. The food options are meager, service is OK. The ventilation sucks and the stench of smoke is everywhere! The shows are very unremarkable. I've heard the newly upgraded GO! rooms are quite good, but I'm surely not going back here to check that out anytime soon. I know that a cheap spot like this is enough when you're out all day and use the room just to crash for a few hours and stuff. But I have an expected minimum standard, and this surely doesn't meet it. And don't even get me started on all the pink...

Problem: Horrible food. Everything was so greasy and just not good. I had the foie gras poutine which was inedible. Crab cakes were ok but the mayo next to it was beyooond greasy it turned hard b y the time we left. what else... Oh how I could I forget... the tartare duo (salmon & beef) was THE WORST tartare i've ever had. The beef one had gazzilions filaments in it. Shrimp ceaser salad was the only thing I could eat. To top it, the waiter developed a severe crush on me and invasively stared at me the entire time i was there. As were the cooks in the kitchen.
