Problem: Not so great anymore. I've been known to play hookie from time to time and stop by the local coffee shops to do homework or read. This used to be my favorite coffee shop. Not anymore. The previous owner had some amazingly nerdy things, local art, etc... the new guy, while nice (overly nice) has some charity pictures up, and put up televisions and plays music that is too loud... The quality of food and coffee has declined significantly since this change. I spent $7-something on a milky "mint mocha" which had no mocha flavor, and no mint flavor along with a blueberry muffin. The muffin was chewy (like it may have been made two days ago) and mostly flavorless. While trying to do homework, the manager/owner will regularly interrupt... Don't get me wrong, I'll probably come back here, but if there were another non-chain coffee shop in the area, I wouldn't... :(

Problem: Anything with prosciutto makes me smile. Started off with the Snack Plate which consisted of Sopressatta, Parmigiano Reggiano, PROSCIUTTO!, and other good snackins for just $4! Can't be beat! Then went for the Prosciutto e Mela pizza which was fantastic! I can honestly see myself eating this as my last meal if i were on my death bed. It was THAT yummy.

Problem: MGM Grand is a great place to stay! I never had a bad experience here. The rooms are nice and the people that work at the MGM Grand are really nice. They have the best pool in Las Vegas ( well I think its the best). They also have a lions exhibit in the middle of the Casino so if you have kids make sure you stop by there! But I warn you there are always pushy people at the exhibit they have to act like they never saw a lion before!

Problem: Having been a frequent visitor of dIsh since it's inception (did it seem like the build out took forever?) I feel like it is time to knock out a review. Overall, I've been impressed. There were a few kinks to workout in the beginning---whose idea was the bulk food section? And who can forget the floor debacle? You'd walk into the dining room side and the floor was like a skating rink. Amazed that didn't result in a slip and fall lawsuit. Now that they have a few months under their belts, I think they've begun to hit their stride. The naan bread brisket sandwich is top of the recommend list (avoid the Reuben) and the salad and cold sandwich side has yet to disappoint. For breakfast, I developed a serious addiction to the three blueberry pancakes---some of the best around. My other frequent purchases are the hummus and the tabbouleh salad. The only experience I've avoided so far is the sit down dinner service in the evening. Frankly, I'd rather schlep the 25 yards down to bloom. But never say never.....and when they start serving martini's (I've not heard anything re: their alcohol license---they had beer and wine at opening but weren't sanctioned for liquor) I imagine I will visit the bar a time or two. My advice to the dIsh executive suite (that's you Darren!)--Consider something late-night. You've got a steady stream of people heading from Old Town to NoSco from 11ish to 2ish who are looking for an evening bite that is not In-N-Out. Something to consider.......
