Problem: I can't get enough of this place. Every time I visit Vegas I have to drop by this buffet...at least once. I think it's because of the variety of items that they have to offer, plus the match between that variety to what I enjoy eating. So in this review I'm going to talk about the items that I love best: Prime Rib - At least 2 helpings of this bad boy. Most of the time they get it perfectly done.....medium rare with horseradish and au jus on top. Sometimes it's a tad too done because the chef is cutting you a piece from the side, which is ok because you can always go back and get another! Crab legs - Super fresh. A palate cleanser and so much more. I can never get full off of these light juicy briny crab legs. Jumbo shrimp with cocktail sauce - Again very fresh and jumbo. The spicy/cool combo is fantastic. Black mussels with garlic bread - I love the clams and mussels at this buffet. Both got a slight spicy kick to them. For the black mussels you can eat with the garlic bread and slather up the juices from the mussels...excellent. Clams Asian-style - Same as above....I can eat a few dozen of these. It's pretty popular so sometimes I had to wait until they come out with a new batch. Worth the wait. Shrimp tempura roll - a very simple dish, but I like the crunch. Flan/Creme Brulee - It's a treat to get them here because I don't have the opportunity to eat them much. I like the serving of the creme brulee. They don't give you a ton of the cream and then a lil bit of the crunchy burnt sugar. It's proportional so I don't feel bad having to leave all the cream and just eat the crunchy top. So after you eat all this.....you are definitely prepared for a night of clubbing/gambling!

Problem: This restaurant is in a mall with the quality and experience comparable to a nondescript mall found anywhere across the U.S. I sat down at the sushi bar and was the only person even though the restaurant was more than half full. The chefs were spending all there time making rolls. I decided to order the sashimi platter with tuna, yellowtail and salmon. The main chef did a great job of slicing the fish, but the quality was average at the best. I wanted to go omakase and ask for the chef recommendations, but figured the quality would be comparable for the uni, alabacore, etc. If you do go try the rolls since nigiri/sashimi can be confirmed as a waste. Service was very good, so thanks for that!

Problem: Good sandwiches, salads and wraps. I haven't tried the smoothies but they look good. Locally owned and operated which is cool. They have all nutritional info right on the menu. I highly recommend the Cross Trainer (BBQ chicken salad), the Flex (turkey on wheat with veggies and honey mustard) and the Olympian Pita (what they call a Caesar salad on a pita). The sandwiches all come with pasta salad that's out of this world (i don't think the pasta is included in the nutritional estimates on their menu). There will most likely be a line of weekdays at lunchtime. You can always call ahead and they will have your stuff waiting.

Problem: I think Marty's is great. It's a beautiful, bright, open health food market and a sweet little cafe in one. The menu is an interesting one, and while some of the items are familiar, they play around with flavors and always put their own twist on things. I am partial to the baked eggs -- yum! The space, as I mentioned, is quite large and quite light-filled. The produce is gorgeous -- if I lived in the area, I doubt I'd go anywhere else for my apples, lettuce and cucumbers! There's also quite a nice variety of dry goods, and most everything is organic and a little on the pricy side. While I didn't check out the meat shop, I am told it's pretty great, just like the rest of Marty's. Definitely check them out for breakfast/brunch, and don't forget to order the fresh-squeezed orange juice!
