A: I decided to make this my first stop on my never-ending quest to find the perfect wedding dress. I thought this would be a good place to start since it would have many different styles in a variety of price points. Unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. First, when we walked in I got the same feeling I have anytime I go into Sears. The carpet was dirty, the dressing rooms were barren, and it smelled like feet. Second, our consultant seemed to be clueless. I gave her a few ideas about what I was looking for (a-line, under $800, illusion neckline or sleeves). She really struggled finding anything that fit these requirements. After I tried on 3 dresses and wasn't impressed she asked "Well, what do you want to do?" Really? This is my first time trying on dresses. I'd like to try on a few more. Overall it was a very uninspiring trip. My hopes were probably too high, but I had expected some small degree of pampering. Instead it felt like I was inconveniencing the salesperson with my "outrageous" demands. Also, the selection of dresses wasn't as large as you would think. If you want an inexpensive strapless gown I'm sure you could find something. If you want anything else you would do better elsewhere.

Q: positive

A: A great, home-town ice cream spot. (although townies will give you a hard time if you call it ice cream). No doubt you are getting a fun experience when you come here. They have everything you would come to expect from standard dips of custard in cones or bowls, to slushy-type drinks and their version of the DQ blizzard. I give it 4 stars and not 5 because it is not a great value. You will easily spend $5 for a couple scoop/dips of custard and it is hard to shell out that kind of cash when there is 50 cent soft-serve down the street. Also, it never fails to frustrate me that their will only take credit cards if your total order is over $10. So be prepared with cash unless you are buying for you group/family!

Q: negative

A: The service here was appalling from the time I checked in. The girl at check-in insisted I give her the credit card that had booked several of our reservations (my bosses) and I had never been sent a credit card authorization form to differentiate each reservation. Needless to say by the time I go to my room I was starving, tired and wanted a bite to eat before picking up my packages at the business center. I ordered a SALAD (no grilled steak or chicken atop it) and waited over an hour. At that point I had to skedaddle to a meeting and was even more hungry and frustrated and had to call room service and cancel the meal. Luckily I was able to find a bit of trail mix leftover from my flight to sustain me (barely). From that point on, I was continuously disappointed in what this hotel had to offer with exception to the guys at the bell desk. They were always prompt, positive and just a joy to work with (and I had a lot of packages). The girl at one of the information desks (when I decided to cut my short at that establishment short) was SO unhelpful in directing me to where I needed to be I was so glad to be out of there forever. Good riddance, I should have stayed at The Wynn where I know service is always way above par.

Q: negative

A:
We booked a table on line for 5 on a Sunday evening and specified the "Robert Louis Stevenson Room" We arrived on time and there were plenty of spare tables to be had but we were placed in the middle table in a nook at the far end of the bar in fact as far away as possible from where we asked to be placed, when asked if a table could be had where requested, we were ignored then abandoned. They were out of most of their beer and of the one I ordered only one pint was had before we ran out of it as well. We ordered our food and since no one else came into the restaurant when we were ordering we were all assuming we would get what we ordered: wrong. The waiter came back 15 mins after the order was placed to advise 2 members of our party that they were out of their choices. Service was slow, for a barely populated restaurant. The beer choice was almost none existent due to them running out. When interaction did occur the staff were friendly and apologetic but management need to seriously review their resourcing and training if this is normal, and, given previous reviews I think ti is.
