A: We went back and upgraded to a Suite in the Fairmont Gold section. OMG! What incredible service and such a bargain. For the upgrade, you get a really nice room with 2 flatscreens, awesome concierge service, a private lounge area with free breakfast and afternoon "high tea-type snacks"; and, access to their 44,000 sq foot Willow Stream Spa. I WILL go back to this property as the Gold section is basically a Hotel within a Hotel and the quality is as good as any of the best Fairmonts!

A: I give it 2 stars just due to the fact that it's older vegas! Other than that...the service,organization and just appeal is horrid! I'm waiting for this to be the next addition to the neon boneyard! I will take my kids to watch this travesty imploded in the near future. The ghetto fabulous side of vegas exists closer than you think.

A: Well, I am trying to eat my way through the menu, but they keep adding delicious new dishes, so it's taking a while. The service at this place cannot be beat. When you are seated outside, every member of the team will be by to inquire about your experience and see if there's anything more they can do. When you're seated inside, you are a part of the whole Welcome Diner experience. I most recently had the smothered pork plate, which was pulled pork with a beer and onion gravy over a bed of jasmine rice, with sides of delicious collard greens and house-made poblano hush puppies. It was a heaping plate of food for $11.50. The next night, we returned, at my niece's request, and I had the Port of Call burger. It was yummy beefy goodness with perfect fries on the side. So, it's going to take me a while to sample everything the Welcome Diner has to offer, but I go at least weekly and I am dedicated to sampling all the goodness they have to offer. This place is a gem. Don't tell anybody. Oh, yeah...Bike Rack!

went on a Monday night 6-16-10. Was greeted by a friendly and helpful hostess. She introduced my group of 4 to Downtown's signature drinks made by the in house mixologists. The drinks were fresh, tasty and worth the ($9 to $10) each. The drinks were unique, definitely one of a kind.
