http://www.ratevegas.com en-us 40 Any Recent Content on RateVegas.com A fun place with a great staff. Sit at the bar as the bartenders are a lot of fun. Great burgers and beer. http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:40:16 GMT Not your typical Vegas magic show, but I love everything about it. From Penn's commentary to Teller's amazing tricks, it is one of the elite shows in Vegas. http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:37:30 GMT One of the better Mexican restaurants I've been to and certainly the best in Vegas. However, it is still Mexican so I'd classify it as a little overpriced and the margaritas are a little on the small side, but if you are craving Mexican I don't think there is much better on the strip. http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:33:53 GMT The Patio is one of my favorite places to grab a lunch or after dinner drink. It has slightly above average food, but I wouldn't plan on being blown away by it. Come for the people watching, the view and the great drinks. http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:31:49 GMT Great Sushi and a surprisingly great view. http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:30:08 GMT The place is overly crowded with tables/chairs. Nice appearance, but then it's brand new. Service was pretty "average", with improvement needed. Food selections were many, and portion sizes were adequate. Pricing was higher than expected for a coffee shop atmosphere by $2 to $4/meal. If it was not in a casino, I probably would NOT return. I certainly would NOT make a special trip for this place. http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:31:34 GMT Nice setting, altho Denny's is also a nice setting. Food taste is pretty average. Portion size is small. Price is ridiculously high. $2.50 for a cup of coffee? This is NOT Starbucks! Service was slow. I probably will NOT return. http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:24:04 GMT Nice appearance, but that's where it stops. Pricing is a la cart, and grossly expensive. Portions are huge, but who needs 1# of Ribeye, an 8" baked potato, or enough green beans for 4? This is NOT the place to have a good meal at a reasonable price. Wine/Champagne prices are thru the roof expensive for what you get. Service was good, friendly and knowledgeable, but "stodgy". http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:21:12 GMT Nice appearance. Food taste was "blah". Grossly overpriced. Probably will not return. http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:13:08 GMT Very nice looking restaurant. But, that's where it stops. Portion sizes are average or below. Food prices are excessive by 20% or more. Drink prices are grossly high ($4.25 for a domestic beer in a casino???). I won't be back. http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:11:09 GMT My husband and I have been to Vegas 4 times over the past 3 years and since our first trip (which included 2 nights each @ the Mirage, the Fitz (downtown) & the Orleans) have chosen to stay at the Orleans for our vacations! We usually stay 3-4 nights and are very budget conscious. We love the Orleans b/c of the AWESOME deals they send in the mail (2 trips were booked from those offers - 1 was $29/night!!) and the standard rooms are bigger than other standard rooms on the strip! All 4 times our room has been clean, comfy bed, perfect tempurature and we got a 2-for-1 buffet last 2 times we stayed (which is already a great deal, like $8 each & the food is great for the price). Some people complain about kids, there are always a few, but have never been a problem, the hotel is huge and the kids usually stay in the kid-friendly designated areas. I have never swam in the pool - well, because I could swim @ home! I'm here to gamble & sightsee, etc. The only thing that has changed for the worse @ this hotel is the coupon book they used to give @ check in, we used it a lot - bunch of 2-for-1 deals & coupons for every restaurant ... but the room rates are so good, can't pass them up! However, the restaurants are usually a good deal anyway. Our favorite is Koji (Asian bistro) and the buffet is pretty good. We eat breakfast @ the Courtyard Cafe b/c it's cheap and a ton of options. When they had the coupon book we ate more meals @ the Orleans, Don Miguel's is very good too and on our last trip we were up quite late one night and saw that TGIFridays does 1/2 price apps & drinks after a certain hour - it was really good & cheap! I noticed some people complain about being off-strip, but we've never waited more than 10 mins for a shuttle to the strip & it drops you right in the middle @ Bill's gambling hall next to the Flamingo! We either hop on the bus (cheap cheap cheap) or get a monorail pass, we're in our early 30s, can't beat it! My husband also loves to play in the poker room, a lot of locals during the week, then friday night all the kids from Cali come in and give him their money :) (well he wins it of course), he's always done well there. I feel like they have a good assortment of slots as well & good priced table games. After 4 days, I do start to get a little bored here, which is why I gave 4 stars... but will always come here for a 3-4 nighter if they have the same deals! http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:00:13 GMT Enormous steaks. I got a portershead (42 dollar). Tasted really good. Everything was big, even the fries. Not a hot place to see hot chicks. Service was ok, waiter wanted to sell everything, but hey whe're in Las Vegas. http://www.ratevegas.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:54:08 GMT If you know Japanise cuisine then you will not be pleased with how food is presented or in the service. Management is poor. http://www.ratevegas.com Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:38:04 GMT Great music, fun atmosphere. During the day it's a great place to have lunch, try the whiskey girl wings, big & meaty with tasty barBque sauce. (you get a good portion for about $7.) At night they had a band & the place was jumping. (almost too packed, but I guess some folks like it that way) great Toby Keith Hats & tshirts in the gift shop. http://www.ratevegas.com Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:21:38 GMT $1 bottles of mich light, what other reason do you need to stop in? Ok how about good service, friendly staff, low limit games, loose slots & centre strip location! http://www.ratevegas.com Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:11:05 GMT Super service, good food but very expensive! An over all positive dining experience but perhaps not quite worth $400 for five of us. Now I would go again if I could sit outside overlooking the fountain show, that would be worth the money in my opinion. http://www.ratevegas.com Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:05:51 GMT Great rooms, big & luxurious. Staff was helpul & friendly. The room rate was a bargain for what you get, 720 square feet, three flat panel tvs (1 in bathroom) sitting area with a wrap around couch & remote control blinds. $7 for a domestic beer in the casino isn't such a great deal. Check out the sports bar, it has a great outdoor seating area with couches & fountains. http://www.ratevegas.com Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:58:33 GMT Food was good. And the whisky and wine was on good temperature. Detail, detail. Great service, but hell, what a dirty toilet. http://www.ratevegas.com Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:49:56 GMT Breakfast is not to be missed!!! Maybe the best breakast I have ever had!! The signature French toast is wonderful, the Croquet Madame is awsome. Go with someone you love & try them both. It was expensive, $100 for 4 of us, but so worth it. Great service, great atmosphere & fantastic food. http://www.ratevegas.com Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:47:52 GMT The food and service were very good. Don't be intimated by the awkward and intimidating entrance. http://www.ratevegas.com Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:58:21 GMT If you like italian food this place was fantastic. Food was great and reasonable priced. Great service too going back in march will eat there again. A+ http://www.ratevegas.com Mon, 05 Jan 2009 16:17:42 GMT This club is always fun! I would not recommend going unless you have a table reserved though. The after hours (invite only) club Noir is a blast. Noir has specialty drinks not found anywhere else in vegas or the world for that matter! http://www.ratevegas.com Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:13:05 GMT Although my ankle was hurt I was starving and I decided to visit Paradise Garden Buffet at Flamingo in my first visit to Las Vegas. The hostess was very rude, she didn´t care about my situation and I left the place. Next day in the morning I paid my buffet and with my receipt in my hand,the same lady, on December 24th 200, your hostess Rebecca, was very rude again. I ignored her because I wanted to enter and I didn´t want to permit that this person spoiled my visit to Las Vegas. Thank you Blanca Monter http://www.ratevegas.com Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:51:07 GMT Question: Do any of the Vegas casinos offer the game 21+3 (blackjack with 3 card poker side wager)? Thank you.<br/><br/>Answer: Not that I know of, no. http://www.ratevegas.com Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:35:38 GMT Question: Archon just filed documents detailing a new option agreement to sell the Wet N' Wild property to Chris Milam (yet again). Can you provide any insight on this new deal, and why Milam has entered into an agreement to pay more per acre than his original option to buy the land? Cheers, Paul<br/><br/>Answer: This is probably a discussion better suited for the blog: http://www.ratevegas.com/blog/ We have regular 'Open Topic' type discussions there. Anyway, my guess is that he simply had no choice - whatever project he has planned now must still pencil out at the higher cost and given that there aren't a lot of other options for Strip land, that's the ballgame. http://www.ratevegas.com Mon, 05 Jan 2009 08:13:48 GMT
