A: The Wynn/Encore is stunning, and you can expect Society Cafe to be no less. There's a really great lunch menu, with a "lunch box" option. I had the filet minon sliders, with a salad (and champagne, of course); but my husband had the french fries....I ended up eating most of them. They were really delicious fries! The setting is a little stuffier than I expected for lunch, but the service was perfect. And the decor, at least, is not to be missed. Modern, bold black and white, with pops of fuschia, and lime...I think I saw lime green. Anyway, if your goal, like mine, is to eat your way through Vegas, Society deserves a stop!

A: This was my first time staying at Monte Carlo and I really enjoyed it! Really, for the price, it was very nice. I stayed with my boyfriend for 2 nights for $226 (room + tax) + $40 (resort fee of $20/nt). (ps - I booked thru Hotels.com) Specifically, we booked this hotel bc 1) it was the cheapest but nicest hotel on the strip right next to the City Center with a casino and 2) no parking fees since we drove and the other hotels had the resort fee (which is standard for most hotels in Vegas) PLUS a parking fee of anywhere from $15-30/night which is just ridiculous. I have no regrets of booking my room here. For the price, I wasn't expecting a luxurious room but a decent and clean room which is exactly what it was. We got there around 1PM and we were able to check-in early which was a huge plus since we just got there after a 8 hour drive. Also, we won the most money here outta all the casino's we went to! SCORE! We were able to come back home WITH some money still in our wallets which was SOOOO unexpected, thanks to Monte Carlo! As for food options, they had a food court which had the standard food court joints such as Starbucks, McDonalds, Sbarro's, Subway, etc. Most of which were open 24 hours which was perfect for those late nights! Also, look for my review on one of their restaurants, Brand Steakhouse (I gave 3 stars.. Go find out why!!). They also had a froyo place, crepe place, and a candy store which was all a lot of fun. The crepe place was good but the cashier was unfriendly ;/ Oh and because of the weather when we stayed, it was too windy to really enjoy the pool which is something I was really looking forward too :( So I can't say much bout the pool ;/ But overall, I was very content with the hotel (considering the price, the location, and winnings [yay!]).

Q: negative

A:
This place is a fast food restaurant.... I just don't understand why their prices don't reflect this. The BF and I went in here last night to get the summer sampler, and we were excited to try this new place for less money. Well what we paid was STILL too much for what we got. We ordered the caprese salad, a pizza with pepperoni and arugula, and two glasses of chardonnay. The caprese salad was not what was expected. Usually it's just basil, tomato, mozz, balsamic, and evoo. This was a salad (like lettuce) with hidden chunks of mozz and tomato in it, as well as some soggy pieces of bread. The mozz was the most flavorless mozz cheese I have had in a long time.... not so good. Otherwise, the salad was a plain old salad, but not what I wanted when I ordered it.... oh well. The pizza came out ridiculously fast. This leads me to believe that they are all sitting back there made and waiting to be shoved in the oven real quick and brought out. Our pizza had some spots that were covered in black burnt crust and some that seemed like they'd barely been in an oven (droopy, chewy, meh tasting). The pizza also lacked a lot of flavor, the sauce was almost non existent in taste, and it could have been a frozen pizza for how it tasted. The wine we got was also not pleasant.... although, chardonnay is not my usual wine, I have had it and this was particularly bad. The people who work there were very friendly, however, so that is a plus. I suppose if you want expensive fast food pizza....come here. For 'italian' style pizza, there are just too many other (good) restaurants in the valley to waste your time here.
