Went to Stingray Sushi recently for dinner. I've been here one other time, but I had 18 too many cocktails and couldn't taste the sushi, story of my life. However, I was able to taste the sushi last night and was very disappointed. I know they also own Geisha A Go Go (or Geisha owns them, whatever) and that's one of my fav Scottsdale places, so I had some big hopes for Stingray. Here is why I gave 2 stars: 1) Choice of rolls and creativity of rolls was subpar. I had cooler rolls where I lived in Lansing, Michigan...c'mon, this is The Biltmore, gimme something more exciting than the "Spicy Crab Roll". 2) Appetizer we had wasn't good. We ordered the scallop and mushroom (which the waitress said was 'AMAZING, like OMG") so don't order that. 3) Wine was good...$7-10/glass...bright spot of the night. Overall - it was just an "ok" experience...spent $72 (pre-tip) on 3 rolls, appetizer and 2 glasses of wine. Not worth it in my opinion, much better sushi places like Blue Wasabi in Phx/Gilbert and even Hana I like better in Central Phoenix.

The best buffet in Vegas. A great assortment of Asian food, seafood, American fare and desserts.

Nice new office, clean, had po box available. At times you can wait a long time in line, but guess that is the case at all post offices. They have a self serve area but there is often a line there as well. Counter people are luck of the draw, some bend over backwards others are out the door at five o'fifteen seconds. Had a really bad experience express mailing a passport. They misplaced the package and because their system is batch updated at the end of the day, they could not tell us where it was. They gave my daughter bad info when she called to find out about it and when i went in, their answer was to just hang out a couple days and it should show up. Losing a passport is a really big thing and i would have appreciated them acting like it was. At least UPS and FedEx can tell you where your package was last seen. They did refund the cost of postage, big deal. What keeps them from earning one star is i went in to buy stamps for a mail out. One of the counter people advised us to bring in an invitation we were preparing to send out so they could make sure we were getting proper postage. I just weighed it and thought i knew what we needed but with the new regulations and charges....not so. That potentially saved us some grief so two stars instead of one.

Very bad experience. We had a pretty good stay last time around so we booked again at the Palazzo and it was the start of a very unhappy experience. It was the reunion for my wife and her two sister's families from overseas. To our disappointment, 2 out of 3 suits we were in started smell really bad from a kind of a greasy grill odor inside the entire room - to a point that felt like our clothes started to smell. When we called to ask to change the rooms, they changed us into another room that had the same problem. On the second complaint call the answer was the hotel was 100% sold out and they couldn't do anything but to provide an air purifier - that didn't do much against the rising odor from the vent itself - and that they were cleaning some systems!?? Cannot recommend this hotel anymore. Very disappointed by the service and the manner the whole issue was handled that ruined the reunion trip for the sisters and the families. We will not stay here again.
