Problem: This is what I get for being lazy. I know there are plenty of good places to eat after hours in Las Vegas, but I decided to dine here after watching Carrot Top's show simply because I was too lazy to go find something better. The 24 hour Pyramid Cafe located on the casino floor of the Luxor was quite the popular spot when I was there as there was a constant line of patrons waiting to be seated. I liken the restaurant to a Denny's based on its menu. They serve items such as all-day breakfasts, salads, burgers and sandwiches and a few main dishes. The prices are very reasonable. The staff is all pretty friendly even though I noticed quite a few of the buspersons lagging in their step and just standing around and doing nothing while there were multiple tables to be cleaned off and countless patrons waiting for a spot to sit down. After a ten minute wait I was seated. I'm not complaining, but they sat me (dining solo) in a table for four while tables for two were available forcing groups of three or four to continue to wait for a table. The whole seating arrangement just seemed way out of whack. I got a nice waitress though who constantly smiled and checked up on me multiple times. I ordered the New York Steak dinner and asked that it be cooked medium. The dinner is served with fresh seasonal vegetables which turned out to be steamed carrots and broccoli and a choice of potato. I chose mashed potatoes and made the mistake of saying yes to gravy. The wait for the food was about as prolonged as the seating process. In the meantime I was brought a basket with two warm garlic rolls and four pats of butter served cold and hard. The bread (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ZosrzTfiiPhbURA04AQTUA?select=Ji_LeplLxwpK_0wCAN9n6g) was flavorful, but it was not fresh as the center was kind of firm instead of being soft. My steak dinner (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ZosrzTfiiPhbURA04AQTUA?select=xVshpLhrKF23IUVFmNqt2g) didn't fare any better. The meat was unevenly cooked as half of the steak was served medium-well and the other half was well-done. I hate well-done steaks! I wouldn't have minded had the entire steak was medium-well since that part remained tender and juicy. Trying to cut into the well-done meat with only a semi-sharp steak knife proved to be a task as the entire table shook. The huge serving of mashed potatoes (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ZosrzTfiiPhbURA04AQTUA?select=bOshUN8Fs5iGod0KBTGG1Q) might have been okay had it not been drowned in the super salty brown gravy. The best part of my meal ended up being the steamed broccoli. Pyramid Cafe, no thanks! Next time I won't be so lazy!

Problem: Met a friend here for happy hour yesterday. Even though it was 90 degrees outside the patio bar was very comfortable. Service was great and the happy hour prices are very reasonable. My favorite sushi was the dragon roll with eel and avocado. The salmon and yellowtail nigiri was very good as well. When the weather is nice, this is the place to be for happy hour.

Problem: I went there, my friends and I came from a boring place and were trying bars and we arrived at this place. On the Plateau Mont-Royal a casual, hip clients goes there. There's a waiter service that's alert and friendly. Czech beer, nice Absynth. If you never tried Absynth I suggest you this place, the waitress did the whole ritual for me. Overall great choices of beer, alcool and not that expensive.

Problem: We had just experienced Tryst the night before and my friend and I were excited about trying this club that was featuring Tiesto. I admit I did not know who Tiesto was, not being of the club scene, but I was told he was quite famous. So we ordered our tickets on-line to pay the discounted $50 cover. Yes. That's discounted. It would also allow us to get to the front of the line. So we get there around 11:00 p.m. and trying to find the Will-Call line took us and a few other couples a few minutes to find. Clearly marked signs would have helped. We come upon this young lady carrying a clipboard, who apparently was hating life, if I judged her facial expression correctly. Cold and bitter cannot even begin to describe her look. She asks for our names and we give her my friends name who bought the ticket. Her: "There's only one name on this purchase." Us: "Yes, but there are 2 tickets purchased" Her: "But only one name" Us: "When we bought the tickets it didn't allow us to enter the guests names" Her: "Let me look at your email confirmation" Us: "Here" - we show her the screen on our phone Her: Flips through the pages on her clipboard Her: Looks at us - as if she'll see our names printed on our forehead I guess Her: "Fine. Just go." The warmth of her words made me feel sooooo giddy. And that wasn't the only bad encounter we had with Hakkasan staff. The elevator attendants, and those silly guys walking around with the flashlights. You're all rude. One of those guys actually pushed me to the side when I didn't move fast enough out of his way. With the exception of the African American security guy on the 1st floor, and the African American elevator attendant (1st elevator). Those two smiled and joked with us. The others literally were rude and condescending. If that wasn't bad, it was apparent this place was seriously over packed. You could not walk without getting pushed and shoved and stepped on. I felt like a little puppy in the middle of the pacific ocean! We got to the 5th floor where it was less crowded. I will say that Tiesto was good...as much as I can say about DJ's. Honestly, though. I don't know how anyone can enjoy themselves unless they purchase those extremely expensive bottle service. No chairs. No view because the VIP sections take up all the balcony...the lights were interesting to watch though. Coming back? No. Way. Note to Hakkasan Management: We were there August 9th. You may wish to discuss with that young lady, her lack of professionalism and non-existent customer service skills.
