Problem: You do realize this is buffet, right? There is something to be expected regarding the food quality at a buffet, period. On that scale, I see why this place has been named the #1 buffet by USA Today like 4 years in a row or something? The variety is phenomenal. The taste of the food is better than buffet expected, but only if you don't allow yourself to be blinded by how nicely designed and kept the interior is. I do have to note that how incredibly clean they keep this place is pretty spectacular, given the amount of volume going through. Some of the food tasted pretty amazing, some of it was meh. Regardless, they keep everything STOCKED to the max (the cold seafood line had me drooling before getting seated) except for the hot crab legs. If you have a sweet tooth, you'll be in heaven at the dessert section here. This spot is a Vegas must-try, once.

Problem: We were headed to Haze for industry night (Thursday) but got diverted by a Gold Lounge promoter wielding gold wristbands. "Open bar," he says. Once up at Gold, there is no line, but there is a $10 cover for ladies and $20 for men. Open bar is well drinks only and they give you four drink tickets each. "Come back for more drink tickets," the door man says. But only until midnight. Then you have to start paying for their diluted swill. It's to be expected that if there's an open bar, the drinks will be diluted well drinks, but they also had to be mixed drinks. You can't just get a vodka. It has to be a vodka-something. Like vodka-soda. Always a load of caveats with these clubs and lounges. The stool-less bar-in-the-round sort of separates the lounge in two. The left side of the bar had a few reserved tables and very limited non-VIP seating. The right side of the bar had only reserved tables and the dance ... area. The DJ was decent. He didn't do anything awful. Nobody was on the dance floor til around 1130p. The bathrooms are notable, though. The private bathrooms are perfect for sex. No, really, just hear me out. There are four or six private unisex bathrooms. Each roomy bathroom has it's own sink and toilet. And there's a sink at the end of the hall so if you just need to wash your hands or check your mug, you don't have to wait for a stall. There is a bathroom attendant. The exterior of the lounge is kind of like this open cage so you can see into the lounge as you approach, but we noticed they closed curtains around the cage. I guess so people couldn't look in and see how sparse the crowd is. Gold is kind of a decent place to stage before you hit up Haze. But if you want to get into Haze on free cover, you have to get in before midnight.

Problem: I've eaten at this place a few too many times. Everyone in town always seems to want to meet up here, and I'm really not sure why. Granted, there aren't too many other great Mexican options in the area (which is sooooo disappointing when I need a nacho fix), but this place isn't really even a "let me settle for this because it's here" kind of place. It's more of a "I should really drive to nearby Charlotte for a more delicious Mexican treat if I'm going to be spending this kind of money and consuming this many calories" type of joint. The food always taste soggy to me, whether it's the nachos, the tacos, or anything in between. The service is consistently slow, but the staff is generally friendly...which makes up a tiny bit for everything else...but the price is not right for food this blah.

Problem: We visited this Chinese vegetarian restaurant on our last trip and wouldn't you know we had the same waitress again. We started with an off the menu spinach salad which was very fresh and delicious. For entrees we shared spicy crispy beef with oranges and a recommendation by our waitress Mimi of sizzling seafood vegetables. The spicy beef was again very good, but the Mandarin oranges on the side added nothing to the dish so I would take a pass on them next time. Once again, everything was very good including the service. A 3.5 star rating would be most appropriate.
