A: Tired of the good ol' boy type places that the vendors keep picking, I used the Yelp! for Blackberry app to find this place just around the corner from where I was working today. We had to wait a few minutes for a table to open up, but as soon as one did, I reached for the Spicy Tuna (not that spicy). I also grabbed the cucumber salad (more sweet than tang, reminding me of my grandmothers bread and butter pickles), the seaweed salad, the rainbow roll (decent fish, but the avocado was dried out), the maguro (far more pink than red...), the salmon (a little on the slimy side, but it didn't smell or taste funny, just weird texture), and tried, at the behest of my less sushi experienced colleagues, the baked scallops on top of a california roll (just plain weird - the top was a combination of crab and baked scallops with some cream sauce, which I'm still tasting now, 4 hours later...). This was the first conveyor belt sushi place that I've been to in the US, but I knew that just like all sushi in the US, it wouldn't be as good as what I'd had in Japan. Even considering, I don't think I'll be recommending this place to the rest of the team in the future. This is a good place to introduce people to sushi, and it's cheap, and fast (once you have a table), but if you've been to Japan and had the real thing, this Americanized version just won't cut it.

Q: positive

A: Awesome location with friendly service. Love sitting outside and people watching. More expensive than Starbucks which is a little painful.

Q: negative

A: I had to wait til I got home to rip this place apart. For starters if you have bottle service anywhere your expectations for customer service are always extremely high. Why? Well @ $500/bottle you should get a little respect. They have a door man thats a dead ringer for Brock Lesnar. If you tell him that he just stares at you. Moving on.We go up to the club and are led to our "VIP" section, an elevated stage where they stuff 200 people at "tables" the size of coffee tables in a dorm room. This is the furthest thing from VIP that I've ever seen. The music was your normal vegas club mix, nothing special. Now lets just skip until the end of the night which turned this night into a nightmare. We were a large group all professionals. The bill comes we want to split it six ways on cards. An hour later a supposed manager comes out and says it can only be split 3 ways. Really? We were never told this. One of my friends (an attorney) tells the guy you have a clerical policy thats not really our issue, because we were not told by anyone the bill couldn't be split. His response, do you know what clerical means. This idiot had no idea he was dealing with a group of about 20 attorneys, just about everyone except me. 30 more minutes go by and he says he can split. He does comes back with the bill, and my portion was twice as much as the other five cards. I tell the next level of manager he says he can fix but it will take another half hour. Really? Really? He offers to comp a bottle at another club the next night. Really? Really? I've had Vegas bottle service so many times, and all I can say is "worse bottle service ever". You've been warned.

Q: negative

A:
Went for a standard mani-pedi. It was pretty busy but they got me in right away. They seemed very distracted and my nail tech was halfway through my pedicure before she asked if I wanted a manicure also. It was also difficult to understand them, but thats common. Then halfway through my manicure she left for another client and had to have another tech finish my nails. This was very inconvenient as they had to split my bill between the two techs on two separate transactions and I had to figure out how much to tip each one... Ended up costing about $50. The end result was pretty standard although it started wearing off after two days. Afterward, I tried to buy the nail color for touch ups and learned that the color was discontinued in 2007, which is kind if disturbing to have them use 6 year old polish. Then a few days later a couple of my fingernails started hurting... Yep, they are infected... But only the nails the second tech worked on. Which makes me think it may not have happened if they hadn't switched techs on me. I've had many manicures in my life and this is the first place I ever got infection from. Definitely won't be returning here. There are many places around town that look cleaner, are less crowded, pay more attention to clients and are cheaper.
