Q: First, I should state that I'm a fairly understanding person. I'm also what some might call an alcohol enthusiast. The point is, that I've been to quite a few bars - too many, in fact, to put up with the service at this establishment. I had such high hopes for this place when it opened. I love tacos, I love booze, I live in the area. Unfortunately the service is so insufferably bad, that I haven't returned to this place in over a year. The last straw was a completely botched happy hour attempt, during which a waitress failed to put in food / drink orders (at all, let alone correctly), twice. After our food and drinks finally did arrive, our waitress disappeared for an hour. Somewhere in this mess, she also became straight up antagonistic after being flagged down by someone else at our table. I'll spare you the rest of the frustrating details. Bottom line: this is the only place I've ever debated leaving without paying. I finally was able to square up (after going to the bar to get our tab, since our waitress had disappeared). Recommended alternatives: For tacos: Yo Rita For drinks: Brillobox, Remedy, Mardi Gras, hell even Kelly's has better service. OPTIONS:

Q: A Chinese and Mexican combo restaurant... concept: interesting, execution: not so great. Definitely definitely overpriced. Seriously, 6 pieces of dim sum for $18? I don't care if it has gold flake on it! Las Vegas highway robbery... I ended up having two tacos, the pollo with mole and the pork. They were both tasty (and tiny) but I was left wishing for some citrus or some crunchy cabbage. Depending on the taco you order, ONE taco can range from $4-$10, FYI. Cute decor and seating though. Conveniently located right next to the entry for Marquee. OPTIONS:

Q: I had a great dinner at SW Steakhouse! I think 5 start would be a little much because 1. why in the hell is there no website with a menu? I think that would alleviate some of the "it's expensive" complaints. Cuz guess what's....it's expensive! 2. this whole "lake of dreams" stuff...over rated. It was fine, but didn't make my $120 steak taste any better, wasn't so romantic it was a panty dropper....yea, I said panty dropper. It's ok! We stayed at Encore and when you turn on the tv it gives you information about Encore and Wynn. The marketing people that created the little informercial added that it is VERY HARD to get into SW Steakhouse. Hilarious that my friend and I looked at each other and both said LET'S GO THERE! I called the concierge and there was no trouble whatsoever getting in. Hmmmm. Darn marketing people! We convinced ourselves it was because we were staying in a suite at their hotel. We got to the restaurant on time and they seated us almost immediately. We never asked for a view of the lake but we got one. I had completely forgot about that detail..maybe the concierge handled it...I dunno. The service was really good. My friend does not drink but discovered a new cocktail while in Vegas, so we asked for it by name and they were unfamiliar. It's called sex with an alligator or sexy alligator. We gave the ingredients and they came back with a drink - said they looked it up. I thought that was cool - I do want to note that if you google that drink, every link I look at is specific it is a layered drink, this came shaken. No big deal I just read another reviews praise of the unbelievable bar staff. We all have off days. I had the beet salad which was fabulous. We decided on Chateaubriand - which was SO good!!! Like, I want more now so good. The sides were disappointing and we (ok I) picked potato puree - don't do it! It is not mashed potatoes...it's a major thin, you could drink this puree. Ewww. Not as good but really...who cares - that Chateaubriand was THAT good! Oh, and it was like $120 plus the apps, sides, and cocktails (of course)...just given you an idea of cost. I am pretty sure it is not possible for 2 people to eat here for less than $150 and that is if you don't get cocktails or apps. BUT if you have that in mind and are prepared...it's a damn good meal. I would go back - but I don't really care if I am near the lake of dreams...I'd rather have a more private table. OPTIONS:
