I think Treasure Island is a pretty good hotel. Sure, the outside of the hotel looks a little dated, but the interiors of the rooms are pretty nice, plus the beds are amazing. Best of all, it's pretty inexpensive - I paid $89 a night for two nights and that included free tickets to Cirque du Soleil's Mystere. If I went back to Las Vegas again, I'd probably try out another hotel just to see what it was like, but TI is a solid, economical choice in my opinion.

I love fro yo but I love supporting local business even more. I've enjoyed Tasty Yo immensely each time I have gone. They have a friendly and knowledgeable staff and while they may not have tons of crazy add ins that put you in topping overload, they keep it simple and it works. And they are one of the few places that still honors the pinch card. I wish more places did this still! The fact that throw in a complimentary green tea wafer stick doesn't hurt either.

Yelp limits you to 5001 CHARACTERS in your reviews--which simply is not enough for things like "experiences." That said I have posted a full review here on our blog at https://gerouxcrew.wordpress.com/2014/12/29/our-experience-at-marvel-experience/ for all to see complete with pictures if you would like more details about my comments below Disclaimer: It should be noted that I refrained from reading any reviews or watching any news stories about this event prior to our visit so I kept my own expectations as high as they should have been for the cost of the tickets. Also, while some may say it is not fair to compare something like this to "Disneyland", I disagree. Disney as the parent company who has "theme park" entertainment down to a science would never settle for the poorly executed design and management of this experience to exist. No reason to re-invent the wheel- pool resources from the Disney parks gurus and fix the kinks. Several of the activities inside the experience are actual activities AT Disneyland (in the Innoventions attraction in Tomorrowland) so there should be zero "kinks" with those, yet there are. Cost: For our family of 4 (2 adults 2 teens) we paid $145 for the Marvel Experience plus an additional $10 for parking and shelled out another $20 for a souvenir photo. So at $175 we are not talking about chump change. Time: We had tickets for Sunday December 28th at 3pm- the web said the experience would last 90-120 minutes. We were there for 3.5 hours ( i.e. 210 minutes) from 2:45pm until 6:15pm. Approximately 60 minutes of that was actual "experience" everything else was standing in line. Would we do it again?: not likely- at least not at the cost that it was. Again it was nearly $30 per person Pros: It's Marvel so if you like Marvel you will be able to find something to like about it. Cons: 1-interestingly enough kids 6 and under were FREE- which blows my mind because there sure were a TON of them and they take up a TON of time on the activities that those of us that PAID to be there are now having to wait for. Due to the structure of the activities I believe every person who enters should be a paying ticket holder that would make it fair. 2- parking was an additional $10 (if you ever go to anything at Talking Stick you KNOW you have to pay for parking, this just always sucks- but at $10 per event they need to PAVE that lot- the dirt is getting old) 3- poor crowd management (read full review for details) 4- low value high cost (see full review for details of what $30 per person gets you)

STILL haven't heard from manager Kevin. Will keep experience short. Planned a surprise party for friend, we all work in the area. 34 RSVPd and 42 showed. I got there early to decorate, 6/30 event date. That night's manager greeted me and gave me choice of area. Tables were set for 6 but only fit 4 comfortably. Eyes rolled when I mentioned this, was told these were designated for us. When more showed up, as often happens, better more, than less, I was told we could not overflow to empty tables. Are you kidding me! Treat them as walk-ins and take their order. One waitress commented, "That's why I hate working these events." I thought the objective was to work for tips with good service. When one person finally got waitresses attention, "You want another one ?"(beer) she'd had only one. I could go on and on, but don't want to get irritated again. AND an 18% gratuity was was added to everyone's bill. Many had to wait unreasonably long for food and service and felt gratuity too much. I never sat down as I was trying to keep folks calm and happy. The food was fair, nothing special. I plan work gatherings often in the area, last one here. Many of the guests live nearby and said they would not return. South Phx. has many choices now, will book with them. I called Kevin several times prior to event to make sure all was in order. I've yet to hear back from him after event. I've even emailed him on website saying, perhaps he'd like to call for feedback before I Yelped. Crickets. May be okay for a group of 4, not able to handle a large group. Bartender started waiting tables and was very rude. Need a steak house? I've used Rustler's Rooste for 45 and have only compliments. Yeah, my event was T-Boned, crashed with Terrible service. Update 7/12. Kevin called me yesterday to see why I was not happy. I reiterated issues. He said if others were unhappy they would have called. I explained I told guests I'd handle the feedback. Basically, he called me a liar. He IS now getting calls from customers. Arrogant manager! This is the first time I've had someone so rude in a manager position and I host lots of events. Their loss.
