Sentiment analysis: Well my experience here is BAD.We had a last minute trip to Las Vegas . Traveling with two 18 month olds meant we have to look for something which has a full kitchen .The Strip Hotels are limited with full kitchen experience but pleasantly quick search revealed this hotel.It was budget friendly advertised to have views of Bellagio fountains.!!!Wow what more do you want.I readily booked it. However in the booking and as well as twice before our arrival date I called the hotel to get the room with the view of the fountains.This was our 5th anniversary and I wanted to surprise my husband with great views from the room while going easy on the budget.The customer care was never assuring they never said any encouraging words just said we will see to what can we do.However the day we arrived I called 3 hours prior to check in same response.we checked in around 3PM one hour before regular hours ...the lady at the reception was so very rude I just cannot fathom how someone that rude can be at the customer service.she simply said the room we want would not be cleaned before 5:30???what the regular check in is at 4:00 I was ready to wait for 1 more hour but 5:30???come on she kept on stressing 3PM check in is early and they cannot give a room and all that without any consideration what so ever.We were traveling with two toddlers from Sacramento!!I got frustrated however after much dilemma they were able to give us the same room!!!!around 4:00.surprisingly room service cleaned it before hand it seems.However this new room was better with a partial view of the belagio fountains still not a full view room as we requested.However we just got frustrated and stayed there. To add to this pain there was constant pestering of this old man who promoted the timeshare presentation all in the midst of this turmoil we were having at the front desk .they were just opposite but had no consideration for our our children's tiredness .He constantly urged us to attend the presentation.Finally my husband gave in and agreed to attend it next day.The next day our toddlers got a little sick from the exhaustion and finally we were able to avoid that sham of a presentation ,which I later came to know after reading reviews on YELP!Thank you Yelpers!you made me feel great about my decision to not attend.On the day of checkout as well the same drama no response from the front desk rude replies when asked for a cart or valet service.they literally drop the phone on you and not even bother to call you back even when you asked them for cart/valet by the next 10 minutes.I had to come down personally to the front desk from my hotel room to get things done.VERY VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. So why the two stars???The room was really well kept , big and clean with a very well equipped kitchen with all utensils and tools.Though we ended up eating mostly outside but families can enjoy a really good home cooked meal here.Also the partial view of the Belagio fountains next door was superb and enjoyable. .

Sentiment analysis: Have you ever glanced over a menu and had the urge to order practically everything, but resisted because you otherwise would have a plethora of to-go boxes to take home? Well, thanks to small plate servings such as dim sum and tapas, adventurous foodies can now have their cake and eat (all of) it too! This past weekend, a few friends and I trekked over to Sin City to celebrate a dear friend's twenty-seventh birthday. After checking into the Vdara Hotel (which is simply gorgeous in a minimal and contemporary fashion), we taxied off the Strip and arrived at Firefly to meet with some new friends for birthday dinner #1. Since some of us skipped on breakfast and/or lunch, the ladies and I got a tad carried away with ordering. But hey, we were planning on sharing. And you know what they say, sharing is caring! Amongst the extensive tapas offered, our entire group of seven probably ordered about a quarter to a third of the list (there were so many plates in rotation during dinner that I might have forgotten an item or few.) *Tuna Tar tare Smoked Salmon Toast *Stuffed Dates Sausage Plate Thai Beef Salad Stuffed Peppers *Manchego Mac N Cheese Fried Calamari *Steamed Mussels Lobster 'Escargots' *Ham & Cheese Croquetas Steak & Mushroom Skewers Crispy Duck Roll Paella *Flavored Mojitos * = personal favorites Although all the plates were delicious, I had a few noteworthy items that I wanted to spotlight. Stuffed Dates: It's been a few days since our tapas dinner yet I can still taste the delicious flavors of the dates. The bacon that wrapped around the date & bleu cheese was cooked perfectly - slightly crispy but still chewy enough to enjoy each bite. The sharpness of bleu cheese was a wonderful compliment to the sweetness of the dates, all enhanced with a red wine reduction glaze. Steamed Mussels: I'm not a huge advocate of mussels, but these were pretty darn tasty. No, not because of the mussels itself, but because of the aromatic coconut curry sauce that it basked in. Coming from a Southeast Asian background, I have a strong appreciation for cuisines that infuse coconut into its entrees as well as desserts. The concoction was so good that we were all dipping our bread into the sauce, long after the mussels cleared out. Ham & Cheese Croquetas: I absolutely love the chicken croquettes at Portos Bakery (Burbank, CA) and never failed to order some when I'm dining elsewhere. The smokiness of the Serrano ham and the buttery texture of the melted Manchego cheese was a match made in food heaven. If we didn't already have a quarter of the menu sprawled out on our table, I would have suggested ordering seconds! I was extremely surprised at the serving portions of each tapas plate. After my last experience at Viva Madrid (Claremont, CA), I anticipated on having to pick up a snack on the way back to the hotel. Luckily, that was far from the case at Firefly. The portions were generous and sufficient to share amongst the seven of us. Also, if a pitcher of mojitos is on your list, I would suggest the Mango flavored one - delish! Would it be wrong of me to say that I want to come back to LV just for Firefly?

Sentiment analysis: I came to this location to eat lunch with my girlfriend 3 days ago. We were both craving some good mexican food and thought we found a good spot. Unfortunately not. DIdn't start off bad, we were seated quickly and brought chips, salsa and drinks. Right after this our server, a lady with a southern accent, came to ask if we were ready.. nope needed a few more minutes. She must have come back only 30 seconds later. Talk about annoying. So we got our order in and started with chicken tortilla soup. It was okay. We got our food in a reasonable amount of time. But then realized we had no silverware, so we stole some off of another table. No big.. My girlfriend ordered 2 enchiladas and was only able to eat 1/4 of one before she started feeling sick and has felt sick since this meal. No appetite, nauseous, stomach pains and more. Which makes us feel it was food poisoning. I ordered a carne asada bowl special. 20 minutes later, two empty glasses and still no check up from our server. We finally decide to just get up and go to the front. The lady at the counter looked puzzled at why we came to pay empty handed and informed her that we hadnt seen our server since we got our food. Needless to say we will NEVER be back & will be sure to warn everyone we know.
