We arrived on a Tuesday night reservation for six. The special for the night was 25% off your entire bill, sounded like a great deal, problem was they meant 25% of the menu wasn't available. When we checked in for our reservation we were informed that there were no ribs available. Really a rib house with no ribs available....hmmm. We sit down and before we can get our orders out we were informed that there was no brisket available either. You've got to be kidding me. I'm looking for a camera now. And have to settle for the pulled pork sandwich and fries, only I can't order a sandwitch it's only available for lunch I can only get sliders. Very poorly managed restaurant is what I'm thinking. What food we did receive was good but don't think I will return. | 01
|
If I could post zero stars, that's what I would do. Let me preface this with the fact that we got here at 7pm on a Saturday...busy time for sure, but a restaurant should be able to forecast for that. After placing our orders, our waiter let's me know that I got the last order of brisket available (again, it's only 7pm on a saturday). Next, our food comes and here's where the real fun starts. My Mom's pulled pork looks chopped (as opposed to actually pulled) and it's DRY AS A BONE. I live in Chicago and maybe I'm a bit of a BBQ snob, but meats should be able to stand on their own...they shouldn't require sauce to make it moist or give it taste. Best part? They didn't have enough containers for sauce to go around so we had to wait like 5 minutes before they even brought us any! Now, on to my entree. I ordered 8oz of brisket. Sadly, ~3oz of it is fat and gristle. For $19, I think I deserve a full 8oz of edible meat. My wife's ribs were OK, but definitely not great. Our sides were pretty \""meh\"" all around. All of the most new at our table were fairly tasteless (Mac & cheese, candied yams, corn succatash, cornbread)...definitely nothing great. Oh, and they kept forgetting stuff. My cornbread came out without any butter, and my mom's Mac n cheese came out like 5-7 minutes after the rest of our food. All in all, for what they are charging, I'd be expecting a WHOLE lot more. | 01
|
It's 830pm on a Sat and there is NO BRISKET. How is that possible? Mac & Cheese was cheesy, but flavorless. Corn bread was ok - Marie Callendars does it better. Since there was no brisket and I don't eat pork, I opted for a cheeseburger and had to ask for BBQ sauce on the side since they don't offer a BBQ burger. Very disappointed. My bill was $24, $30 with tip for waiter that did a good job of explaining menu items and offering drink suggestions. I left unsatisfied and thinking I could of eaten much better at Famous Dave's for what I paid. | 01

This place is great! Coming from the south where ribs are a staple, I can honestly say the dry rub ribs are awesome as are some of the sides such as kale and cashew slaw, green beans, and mac and cheese. My favorite though is the pork belly and grits (to die for! This dish is a must have and an all time fave of my family's and makes my mouth water just thinking about them. My husband is an executive chef who has worked in three star Michelin restaurants and has a position at a highly prestigious restaurant on the strip....he agrees, the pork belly and grits are the bomb! :) | 12

Having traveled around the country and been a diner at several of the finest of Carolina, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Austin Barbecue spots - let me explain first of all that (as a Vegas resident I sadly say this) - Vegas will probably never \""get\"" barbecue culture. I wish it did. \n\nHowever, Pot Liquor cares about many of the right things and is as passable for high quality barbecue as we probably will ever get 'round these parts. \n\nPositives:\n1 - Service was exceptional, beginning to end. Pleasant as pie, perfect amount of attention. Maitre D to waitress to manager. Perfect.\n\n2 - Really interesting menu. And drink list. This is a gourmet interpretation of barbecue. There are some cool salads, apps. \n\n3 - Great portion size, but probably too much for any one person to eat. \n\n\nIssues:\n\nBurnt ends:\nAt least the way I have experienced them, were not quite that burnt, and not quite end pieces. These seemed like more of a pork belly cooked a fair amount.\n\nOverall selection:\nThey feature specialties from so many parts of the barbecue belt (Carolina pulled pork, Ribs Texas style and memphis style, etc). I think they need to perfect one technique and go with it.\n\nOverall - the best Vegas has so I'm not complaining! | 12
|
Excellent southern BBQ. Large portions. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Dry rub on the spare rubs is very good. Excellent selection of whiskeys. If you're not sure which one to try ask and they will give you a recommendation. | 12
|
Unfortunately everything that my husband and I ordered was unsatisfactory. The burnt ends were extremely dry, and the crab cakes and chili were terribly bland. On a brighter note, the sweet tea was delicious. | 01
|
Took family here for Christmas Dinner. Made reservation so wait wasn't too bad.\nPlace appeared to be packed. When seated noticed numerous empty tables even though there were numerous parties waiting to be seated. Turns out they were way under staffed. Only three waiters working. Dinner took over an hour to be served.\nThe food was mediocre at best. Beef Brisket was fair, Lucille's is ten times better.Short Ribs tasted like they dumped the salt shaker on them. Burnt Ends Appitizer was grisly and chewy. None of the dishes served were much to brag about. \nI predict it will be one of those Resturants that after a short while and the hype is over it will be gone. There are a whole lot of better bar-b-que resturantsin Las Vegas. | 01
|
I thought that Lucille's BBQ in Las Vegas is much better. Pot Liquor has big portions and big prices. I had the Spare Ribs, which were good, but nothing amazing. I thought that the portion was way too big for lunch and wish that they had some lunch options\n\nThe service was \""OK.\"" It was a typical \""What do you recommend?\"" \""Oh, everything is good\"" service. If you come to Pot Liquor, just don't come with high expectations. | 01

Got the recommendation from a friend at work. When we got there it was just before 3pm. My wife Lori and I decided to come on a Tuesday because of the 25% off the entire menu and drinks. There was hardly any one there. We were promptly seated and our server Dave came over, he was very cordial and helpful with suggestions. Before coming there we checked out the menu online and we thought we had a plan on what we were ordering. We both ordered the Pork Belly over grits. This was one of those dishes that you continually make that mmmmm sound while you're eating. \n\nWe also ordered the deviled eggs which were good also. I ordered the skirt steak over ox tail ragu and Lori stayed from the plan and ordered the Spare Me Baby, which were baby backs, dry rubbed and mopped spare ribs, that comes with two sides she got the mac and cheese and the fries with Alabama white sauce. When the food came out we were floored at the portion size! Everything was tasty. My steak was ordered med rare, it was a little tough but manageable. It was served over hoppin johns which were really good. Lori could only eat one baby back and one of the dry rubbed ribs. \nNeedless to say our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, we were so stuffed and we didn't finish it all. Dave came by smiling and offered to pack it all up for us. Overall the meal was great and we plan to visit again and try some other things on the menu. We also tried one of the lemonades too I had the sidecar and Lori had the cucumber one. They were also very good. \nI highly recommend this place, just make sure you are hungry because the portion sizes are huge and you will be stuffed when you leave. | 12

I had seen this place walking thru Town Square quite a few times, so some co-workers and I decided to try it on a Tuesday because of the 25% off the entire menu and drinks. The restaurant was pretty quiet when we arrived and we were promptly seated. Our server was very prompt in taking care of us and very helpful with suggestions. My co-workers and I started with a cocktail, I had the Raspberry Tart which was very tasty! We then ordered the burnt ends appetizer to start, and we then decided to order a variety of items to share so that we could try a lil bit of everything..... we had the Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich, the Texas Dip, and an order of the Macaroni and Cheese. Everything was great- but OMG the Macaroni and Cheese was sooooooo yummy! Definitely a must try! \n\nI would highly recommend Pot Liquor! Great food! Great atmosphere! Great service! | 12
|
A great place to eat, drink and make merry with friends. We have made it a regular and always enjoy the food and especially the staff! Make sure you go! | 12
|
This BBQ was not good, dry and no flavor. The pot liquor greens were sour (I've had pot liquor greens when I went to Atlanta, never tasted any as bad as these were). The Mac cheese make a pretty picture and when your going in your thinking, \""these are going to be good\"", not. The candied yams, yuck on that and just makes a pretty picture. The price for the BBQ is too high for lousy food. The hot links were horrible too, not hot at all. I don't see them lasting long unless they get someone in that kitchen who can cook good pot liquor greens, Mac n cheese and candied yams. Anyone raving about this haven't had better. I just can't recommend it. Service was nice but that is not enough to spend my hard earned money on it again. | 01
|
I've been there twice.\n\nThe first time, the food was good and the service was great.\n\nThe second time, the food was just OK, their best dish (pork belly & grits) was not available and the service was poor. | 01
|
We found this spot by accident, and we were not disappointed! The satay was moist and delightful. We tried the beef basil and the kang kung belacan at the chef's recommendation. Don't miss the coconut pudding served inside a coconut-- it was delicious. Service is very friendly and attentive. Enjoy! | 12
|
My friends and I stopped here to eat on the way back from Prescott. First of all, the cashier never greeted us. I ordered a char grilled bbq sandwich by itself, and when I told her that she had to get her manager to punch it into the register. My two other friends ordered specialized meals and they messed both of theirs up as well.\n\nIt took 10 minutes to complete my order and 15-20 minutes to complete my friend's orders. They messed both orders up and they had to be remade, tacking on another 5 minutes to the order time. \n\nOverall, the service there was horrible and they couldn't understand simple instructions when we ordered the food. Other customers in there looked like they had the same issues. The manager on duty didn't look like she knew what she was doing, so that didn't help the situation at all either. | 01
|
Ordered a few meal we where the only ones ordering food. The guy had to be reminded twice for my daughter shake which she never got til she was done eating cause he was too busy playing around with his co workers | 01
|
Soooooo happy the east side finally has an amazing juice bar-NEKTER-\nLove all of the juice options and the staff are amazingly fun and friendly! This will bet 2nd home | 12
|
I have been to this location twice now and while the juice is great the service is horrible. Today I stood at the counter for five minutes before I was even acknowledged by anyone and when someone finally came out I asked them questions about the cleanse and got one word answers and she seemed very disinterested in helping me. Their aren't many choices for juice in the East Valley and I would like a more friendly experience when I walk in to this one. | 01

This is the smallest LA Fitness gym that I'm aware of here in AZ. This was the nicer Pure Fitness that they acquired years ago and they just recently opened it. It has limited amenities compared to other locations (no racquetball, no basketball, no pool, no sauna). Regardless - It has everything that one needs to get a decent work out in. The upside for me is that this is an EXTRA gym in-between the McCormick Ranch and the Tatum gyms! So I'm grateful for the addition. Plus, you can park and go to the movie, get a protein shake, hang out at the coffee shop and choose between several restaurants in addition to a workout - without having to drive around. | 12
|
This place is the size of a closet and unlike the huge, sprawling location on Greenway, has no TV's on any of the cardio machines and a fairly lackluster assortment of weights/ weight machines. \n\nI really despise the lack of consistency among LA Fitness gyms in the Valley. I'm not sure why they'd build a new location in an upscale area of N. Scottsdale and not have the most sophisticated / updated equipment in it. Also, this location offers NO spin classes!!!! | 01
|
Horrible customer service. Went with a friend and she was interested in signing up, when we walked in the staff was not friendly. They said I didn't have a guest pass on my account. They did not let my friend work out, so we left. She no longer wants a membership. | 01

I followed Perla over from her previous salon at Bombshell Hair. She is an amazing hair extension stylist that I have been using for over 2 years. I have recommended many of my girlfriends and all of their hair turns out amazing. | 12
|
Perla was the first stylist I was fortunate to meet here in Vegas..6 years ago !\n Now that I have aged she has done great work on blending colors so my WHITE roots look naturally blondish amongst my auburn hair .. Love that she can work miracles !.. Beautiful new salon Perla ,Congrats ! | 12
|
Perla is who I go to @ Vavoom! She's the best , I followed her from Bombshell Hair & Extension Co. And I have to say out of all the 5 diff stylists I've had since I've been living in Vegas, they can't top her or even come close to her ! Not only is she great w hair & knows the art, but she also is very enjoyable to be around, always in a positive mood no matter what! She's just an all around awesome person to know so anyone that's looking to get extensions done or color etc , I highly recommend you go see Perla @ Vavoom. You'll thank me later!! | 12

Saxby and I stopped by TD's today after karate class to get something for dinner and use a TD gift card I've been sitting on for almost a year now. \nWe picked up enough food for two dinners a bottle of wine and dessert and a couple of other things and spent $40!\nThe staff is super friendly, the quality of product is unbelievable and the variety of wine and beer is incredible! Trader Joe's is our new grocery store. | 12
|
Grocery shopping makes me a happy camper and this new location within Downtown Summerlin location is no exception! This is in super-duper convenient location (right off Sahara and 215 beltway) with plenty of parking, spacious isles, stocked full of specialty items (IE: loads of cookie butter and other TJ goodness), and that impeccable customer service that I adore. Clearly, I am excited that this location opened up and will take the place of my other frequented Trader Joe location on Washington Ave.\n \nNeed more reasons to love Trader Joes? Try this... \n\nThey carry an ever-changing list of products that are minimally processed (hello seasonal items - Fall pumpkin extravaganza products - or Christmas white chocolate peppermint pretzels). They also cater to those who are health conscious! Whether you're looking for gluten free snacks, fresh organic fruits and veggies, wild-caught fish, organic products, free-range chicken, organic eggs .... Trader Joe's has G-O-T you covered. Trust me.... You don't need all the added junk that traditional grocery stores add to their products. Cut to the chase and come here get the real deal for bottom dollar pricing that will make you (and your wallet) very happy. | 12
|
Absolutely best Trader Joe's I have been to so far in Las Vegas and San Antonio. First off Trader joes has amazing prices vs. Other grocery stores. The selections of pre made dips and different meats is the number one thing I love about it. Its is one of the only stores that I have seen carry Hawaiian shorts ribs already marinaded!! (Mmmm). They don't have tons of produce but they do have a good selection. They have awesome bouquets of fresh flowers that are super cheap! Natural shampoos, toothpaste, ect. Dog food, wine, gluten free selections, and on on!!\n\nIn think it was such a great idea to hide a fake parrot....or at this store it's a sea horse, to keep kids occupied while shopping. If they find the hidden Sea horse they get a treat. Yay!!! They have these adorable little kids carts too which my kids loved! | 12
|
The only reason I tried this new location is because it's closer to my home than the ones on Washington or Decatur, however, I like both of those locations better. \n\nIt was opening day so of course it was crowded, however, I went to get everything pumpkin spice and they were missing my faves. I got what I could there but still had to go to the other locations to get what I needed. \n\nI will try one more time when the novelty of Downtown Summerlin wears off but in the mean time, I'll go to the one on West Washington since the staff is more experience and hella more friendly. If you need something there they will search until they find it.\n\nI wish all the locations were open 24/7 since we all have food allergies and organic is essential to avoid ER visits. I'm just happy with the close proximity for now. | 01
|
What's not to love about Trader Joe's! The location in the corner of the Downtown Summerlin parking lot is convenient. Even better it's an exit away from my house. I first went when it was still fairly new and they had people directing traffic and still not a problem to get in and out of. Just like the other locations in town it's clean and everything is easy to find and there is always assistance nearby if you need it. My only complaint would be lack of cart returns but I understand that TJ's was limited on requesting additional ones. Could be my imagination but I feel like the aisles are also wider. And I think the placement of the food sample area location was smart as it's in a corner so not causing cart back up and crowds like I've seen at the Buffalo location. | 12
|
FINALLY! So glad this is now open. No complaints here so far. Take into consideration that it's brand new and it's still being worked on. Staff is ALWAYS extremely helpful and nice. Food is amazing. This location saves me about a 45 minute round trip to the other location. Thank you. | 12
|
Food is uninspired, dry, tasteless and bland. Not worth the effort, not just because of the food, but because it is always busy for some reason. | 01
|
The Grilled Market Salad was amazing and the service was too! Nice to see happy people who love their job's! I'll definitely be back! | 12
|
Nice clean location, friendly staff. \nTwo stars because they have, and I have let them, forget my ice cream cone twice. | 01
|
I'm so glad I found Lesli! It's hard to find someone really good to do your hair in Vegas so when I found Lesli I was so relieved. She really cares about her clients and wants them to look good. I like how she pays attention to details and wants you to leave happy- definitely recommend ! | 12
|
I found Leslie when I first came to Vegas & had to have her \""fix\"" my hair color from another hair salon. Leslie is amazing!!! So friendly & fun, makes you feel like you've known her for years. Her work is absolutely the best. I highly recommend her. | 12
|
Lesli is not only an amazing, talented and precise hairdresser, she is also a genuine, caring person! When you find a person like her who is good and takes so much pride in their job and is a bona-fide good person, you keep coming back. Thank you Lesli! | 12
|
After hearing the commercial a 100th time on the radio I decided to finally try this place. First impression was the shitty attitude of the girl working the register. When I finally got my club sub I was really unimpressed. I won't be coming back anytime in the future. There's way better options in Tempe. | 01
|
Came here on a Monday afternoon to pick up a few sandwiches and some iced coffee. \n\nInterior was nice and clean. Definitely smaller than the other 2 locations. It was a little hot inside due to the doors being open.\n\nService was good. The cashier informed us of their grand opening special and gave us 2 flyers to redeem the deal. Since they have been only open a few days, they didn't have their credit card machine up and running yet - so we had to pay with cash instead. \n\nFood was good. Ordered a Chinese meatball sandwich, a grilled pork sandwich, and 2 iced coffees. Bread was warm and soft with a crunchy exterior. Iced coffee was delicious! | 12
|
Everytime i come here theres never bobba! And they take forever to make sandwiches :/ save your money and time, go to the one on eastern and 215. | 01
|
I typically enjoy Lee's sandwiches but this location specifically employees moronic individuals who have Absolutely No Customer Service and do not give a $*** about their customers. This is my 4th time in Here and each time except the first has been HORRIBLE!!! I LITERALLY JUST LOOKED AT MY FOOD FOR 10 MINUTES until I said excuse me is that my order. Oh ya he said and walked away and no one gave it to me. I had to raise my voice a bit. The chubby guy at the register did not help nor handle anything. The young guy who just clocked out was standing in front of the register and just stood there and watched me as well. Like OMG are you serious. And the man after I rose my voice finally started to give me my food and I said this food is now old as we ordered 25 minutes prior before their hey her food is on the counter revelation moment. \n\nI say the good is cold the egg rolls need to be replaced and the guy just looked at me looked at the bags looked at me and then started to replace the egg rolls. \n\nNow I am sitting at my desk my sandwich tastes disgusting the meat tastes old like its from days ago. It sucks compared to the one on Spring Mountain and they all suck compared to the ones in California. | 01
|
I have had the opportunity to work with Eitan on a couple of transactions (I am a realtor) and he has come through both times and my clients loved him. I have had more rough experiences with loan officers then I care to remember so its GREAT when you meet a good one! Keep up the good work Eitan and I'm sure we will do more business in the future! | 12
|
Slow....\nWell they did just open so maybe the staff is fres, er, new too.\nOur order - Venti Hot Chai Tea Latte and a Grande Iced Mocha. Chai didn't take too long but the Mocha was finally served after the Chai, two drive through customers and two or three customers ordering inside the store.\nHmmm.\nNice if they could get both out at the same time.\nAtmosphere is roomy, open and dark. I think it is really nice and appealing. Maybe the expansive size of this location will mean quicker drive thru service. Maybe, eventually, it will pick up inside too. \nI foresee it will soon become the hangout for students from Corona and the nearby schools. Good for business, sure, but I just get the impression that it will soon resemble the malls. \nI'll probably keep with the other location North of here. | 01
|
Delightful place. Delightful location. Delightful people. Lizzy and Trevor are colorful, engaging, and attentive - not only in their customer service but in the selection of their shop goods. I walked out with a bag full of goodies and gadgets that I've never seen elsewhere: Big red magic ball, iridescent bubble spinners, and sushi decor for my little man's Kindle. The Willy Wonka of toys. Something for everyone. This place is a unicorn! | 12
|
The Container Parks very own toy box. Just look for the vibrant colorful storefront with a non martial arts mutant turtle towards the back. The lively mix of nostalgic and inventive toys are perfect for wee tots like my 2 boys or the wee tot in you. Retro action figures and Japanese doodads abound. It's basically a veritable Pee Wee's playhouse in there. The selection is innocent and wholesome. I can imagine the legions of computer desk knick-knacks and paddy-whacks adorning the Zappos office from here.\n\nThe selection is complete chaos in order. Randomness in sections. From toys for toes & kiddie tattoos to Mario Bro's & Dr. Who's. You will be entertained browsing through the shop. It's a very feel good toy store where you would actually want your kids to pick from. I can't help but think of Harajuku clashed with hipster then exploded into bits and pieces and landed perfectly onto shelves and stacked neatly to become Kappa Toys toy store.\n\nNo matter how thick or thin your wallet is you will find something special here. Although some larger things may be a bit overpriced, there are even bins of interesting little quarter machine toys that you might remember from way back when quarter machines only costed a quarter. Please take me back to my childhood?! Impossible. Well then take me to Kappa Toys instead! :) | 12

Broadway finally meets Vegas! A must see show!!! Sexy burlesque dancers, an amazing talented singer and a broadway male lead performer!! A must see show!!! | 12
|
The sopapillas were awesome! I tried their fish, shrimp, and pollo asado tacos, as well. The fish taco was ok. The chicken taco was a little dry and tough. But the shrimp taco hit the spot. Great cream sauce with a bit of a kick, too! It's local. It's tasty. It's decently priced. You should check it out. | 12
|
I wanted to love this place so much. It's around the corner from my place and was super excited to hear of its opening. Went in today right at 5. It was hard to miss all of the employees in the restaurant, and equally hard to miss how messy the salsa bar and drink station were. Surely one of the employees could wipe the counters? The best thing I ordered was a side of beans. Beans. My turkey mole taco was ok. But the pastor taco had no flavor. Both tacos needed salt. I'm so sad that the food wasn't better. Not sure if I will try again. | 01
|
How I love me some street tacos! And Mucho Macho Tacos sure does have them! We came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon after hearing that it had recently opened. I've been to Tacos Atoyac before so I was excited about this place opening seeing Atoyac closed. \n\nMucho Macho is definitely a lot cleaner than Atoyac. It also seams to have more tables inside but there isn't a patio like the old location. I can see when It gets busy finding room might be tough but lucky for us we were able to find seating right away. \n\nWe ordered a few different tacos and a carne quesadilla. I'm a huge fan of street tacos and all of there were really good. We ordered the crispy fish tacos, pastor, and carne. I loved the pastor taco so much! Next time I think I'll just order a bunch of them! Carne was. A close second and I did enjoy the fish but I'd probably stick to pastor and carne next time. I enjoyed the quesadilla but my wife actually thought the meat was a little tough. \n\nOverall I had a great experience. For 4 tacos and a quesadilla total was right around $15 for the both of us. We had a lot of food and paired with chips and great salas you really couldn't beat the prices. I'll forsure be back! | 12
|
It's dangerous living near by...\nLove the friendly staff, they make you laugh. The comfortable atmosphere. \nAnd most of all the creative & well prepared tacos!! | 12
|
The staff is very friendly. The tacos are extremely small, and over priced. About one dollar per bite. The owners previous restaurant served the same product for less than half the price. Food quality is very average. | 01
|
Most amazing Horchata ever. Plus, the pastor and braised brisket tacos are amazingly unique like none other. I highly recommend this new, hip, reasonably priced taco joint. | 12
|
A friend of mine turned me on to Tacos Atoyac...and one day we forgot it was closed on Mondays, so we went here to the Tacos Atoyac Alumni joint...its every bit as good if not better. If you want a fish taco like no other...this would be the place to go. Not kidding. This is a small place. Mucho Macho tacos uses the freshest ingredients skillfully and delivers big flavors. Check out the special salsa in the refrigerator below the salsa bar...totally worth it. Its almost like the secret stash. Don't miss this place but get there early, its an old, Circle K location that features 3 tenants and it isn't 'long' on parking spaces. | 12
|
I've driven by this place quite a few times while on 7th ave and decided to give it a try today after my hike. I ordered the 'Surfer' torta and my friend had the steak and shrimp tacos. I have to say that everything was delicious. The torta was definitely tasty. And the service was just as good. I've found a new taco spot and I'll definitely be hitting it up again soon. | 12
|
We were so excited to have the guy from Tacos Atoyac open a restaurant in a location that is more convenient to us. The fish tacos and burritos are of course amazing. My husband who supposedly doesn't like fish tacos even thinks they are good. I also like anything with the chorizo, and the Pastor is very tasty. We have only gotten take out so far, but it has been fast and affordable. | 12
|
Mucho Macho Taco - so the Macho comes from using 5\"" tortillas instead of 3\"" for their street tacos. Personally I think they should have spent more time making food with Mucho flavor instead of worrying about tortilla sizes. Mucho lacking here at Mucho Macho Taco. I went for lunch and after looking at the menu went with the brisket burrito, with green chillies, carmelized onions and oranges.... Uh no oranges please. The green chillies were not New Mexico Hatch green chillies but instead food distributor canned green chillies. Carmelized onions, diced and slightly cooked does not equal carmelized. While the brisket was decent I am quite doubtful it was slow cooked out back for 10 hours- most likely off the Shamrock or Sysco truck as well. \nWhile there is a salsa bar at Mucho Macho I did not care for any of the salsa options. The \""hot\"" salsa which kind of looks like roasted salsa is nothing more than red pepper flakes and oil. Funny, I never use oil when making salsa. The mild was simply blended canned tomatoes and lacked flavor, the green which I am guessing was supposed to be an avocado whipped salsa had decent texture but also lacked flavor. There was no pico salsa available - WTH?? \nSo in closing, the location is clean, simple decor, and the guys are nice but I will not be going back here at anytime as it significantly falls short of hundreds of other Mexican restaurants in the valley. | 01
|
I really loved this tiny little taco shop. The salsa was among the best and freshest I have ever had! I enjoyed their fish tacos and the price was a huge surprise. The tacos were full of fresh delicious ingredients and you could add additional items at the salsa bar. Come here hungry, BYOB and you will leave with change in your pocket. They have a briskly take out business too. I only wish they had a location in North Phoenix, I should buy a franchise.... | 12
|
This place is 10x better than jamba juice, this specific location is better than the one of the strip, smoothies taste better and are alot faster. This is my #1 smoothie place, cant live without it. | 12
|
I have been to this location 3 times, and the service was fast/employees were polite, the food was good, & the atmosphere was clean & beach inspired. I like Tropical Smoothie b/c it has relatively healthy options served fast & it is reasonably affordable. | 12
|
Too many excuses for not being prepared. \nWhile understanding their move and supporting the store from South Blvd to Plaza Midwood, they just don't have it together. HHM is extremely overpriced IMO. Those necessary bulk items (not packaged), they did not make the space for, i.e., Raw Cacao. Also, every time I'm checking out, the cashiers continually have personal conversations with each other while serving the customer. Sorry if I feel the need to interrupt the conversation to inquire about store products. Lastly, I asked for a manager for assistance and just found out from another store - she wasn't the manager. I'm not impressed with HHM any longer. | 01

Unhappy! Went to get juice after yoga and it was a disaster. Person making two of the same juices at once made 1.5 cups worth and never stirred so first person got top half of juice and I got second. When they went to refill mine, machine was \""broken\"" so I paid $8 for half a smoothie. Offered to take two dollars off but when they realized they already rang me up, they just stared at me until I left. Terrible customer service this early in the game. Will not being going back if I can help it. | 01

Excellent service as usual! I stopped in during rush hour to speak with one of their vitamin experts. For less than the price of my GP's co-pay I was referred to a great cleanse and a high quality probiotic that really helped with the stomach problems I have been having! And the falafel from the deli just melted my mouth. So excited about this new location- am expecting great things as they settle into the new neighborhood! Will miss the South Blvd. store for the rest of my life but the new location at Plaza has given HHM an opportunity to step up their game. I suspect the other reviews here with lower ratings are one-offs from the opening pains. No one is perfect 100% of the time but HHM has heart and soul and is LOCAL - support our Charlotte businesses! | 12

Had a great time at the opening of Rick Bronson's House of Comedy on 9/11. First, the place is gorgeous, it fits in perfectly with the upscale atmosphere you'll find on High Street in City North, making it the perfect addition to a date night or GNO. The bar area is beautifully lit and the bartender was extremely friendly and jovial - just what you'd expect from a bar in a comedy club. The interior is also gorgeous, it's dark and has nice lighting, including several large flatscreens behind the stage. The show was hilarious, Rick Bronson who was there for the opening did a great job of warming up the crowd, and we were literally crying we were laughing so hard when Tony Gaud and Harland Williams took the stage. My only criticism would be the table service - we ordered the hummus flatbread which was just sort of uninspired. It was a flatbread with some hummus, a few sprinkles of goat cheese and slices of radishes. The prices were about what you'd expect for this type of entertainment in this neighborhood, but we were a little surprised at the $17 drinks (double jack and cokes). Other than that we had an amazing time It and we definitely feel forgiving of any hiccups since it was opening night. I highly recommend trying it out, we will be back! | 12

Great new edition to the comedy clubs in Phoenix. The food was good. The club was nicely decorated. I was disappointed that they did not have any beer on tap. I will definitely visit again. | 12

OMG. We spent New Year's Eve here last and it was the best decision we have made for celebrating. The place was great, the acts were amazing, and the owner was the best host. We will be back. | 12

Should be called House of Idiots. Terrible Venue & incompetent staff. We were here New years eve for the 7:00 show.\nWhen we walked in, there was no one there to greet us. The tickets said no reserved seating, so we were not sure if we were to seat ourselves. We walked inside and the only help we saw were bringing drinks to tables. We we walked back into the lobby we finally saw some employees taking tickets and seating people. The whole thing looked so unorganized I was waiting for the clowns to appear. \n\nThe place is extremely cramped. I know that a place like this wants to maximize the seating capacity, but this was ridiculous. Since this was a brand new place, they should have done some better planning. \n\nThe tickets said that the doors open at 6:30, but when we got there at 6:15 the place was already half full. Had we know that we would have arrived sooner to get a better table.\n\nWe ordered two beers from a server who looked about 18 years old who brought us the beers with no glasses. When I asked for the glasses, he said he would bring them when he came back. He then proceeded to take the orders from about 4 other tables. After about 15 minutes, we were still waiting so I got up and walked out to the lobby where the bar was, and the bar was completely dark with no one working there. Finally an employee saw me looking around and asked me if she could help me, and I told her our server never brought us any glasses. She then went behind the bar and got the glasses. Even after I went back to the table we didn't see our server for another half hour and he didn't even remember that he was supposed to bring us glasses.\n\nI had called ahead to verify the actual time the show started and was told 7:00. Not true. The show didn't start until 7:25 and ended at 8:45. An hour and 20 minutes total for 3 comedians. \n\nThe headliner only was on for about 40 minutes. The other 2 comedians took up the rest of the time. \n\nOn top of all this, when I looked at my receipt for our drinks the next day, we were given the wrong bill. Now I have to straighten out that mess. Our bill was $18 and my card was charged $75. I'm sure the other person that got my charge of $18 is not saying a thing. Worst comedy club ever! We won't be back. | 01

I am so glad I found Izzy. I have used his services for my business law questions and contracts a number of times. He calls back right away, is straight forward, extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to. As little knowledge as I may have about any issue, he listens, takes the time, and gives sound legal advice I can count on. Thanks Izzy for all you do! | 12

New vegan restaurant opened just south of Ste Cat, on Bishop--it's been open about a week and I've had 6 different people on Yelp and Facebook ask me about it... So here's the review.\n\nThe first thing that struck me was the menu - its gorgeous, full colour with excellent photography, but...entirely in French. This wasn't a huge problem for me, but in Montreal this is a big no-no, especially downtown and next to Concordia.\n\nI decided on the sweet potato and black bean burger on kamut, with tofu bacon and daiya swiss. I got their fries instead of a salad and a Zevia ginger root beer.\n\nFirst impression, the fries were amazing. I'm usually a reach for the condiments guy, but these were so well seasoned they didn't need anything.\n\nThe burger had good flavour, but a couple of technical problems - the bun, being kamut, was a lot more firm than the patty. Physics played its part, but the end result was a the patty spreading beyond the bun each bite.\n\nIf they can find a way to firm it up I'd definitely try it again.\n\nThe tofu bacon was a bit disappointing, and mislabeled. Its smoked tofu, which is fine, but a very different texture than I'd expect from something labeled bacon.\n\nI didn't notice the daiya til the very end of the meal, I wouldn't spend the extra .90 for it again.\n\nThe whole meal came to just under $16, which is way more than I'd be willing to spend on a burger and fries on a regular basis, but they are new and experimenting with their menu (which I imagine includes their prices) I worry that the area they're in will buck at the idea of a $16 lunch.\n\nI don't recommend the Zevia sodas, they're flavoured with stevia and its call I could taste.\n\nAfter my meal I got to try one of their two deserts, and opted for the brownie. My brownie standards are quite high as there are some fantastic brownie destinations in Montreal. I'd rate theirs a solid 8. Possible ways it could improve? Serving it warm, or with some sort of custard or coulis. I'd ditch the quinoa sprinkled on top too - I could easily see it being a 9 or 10 then.\n\nI also tried their quinoa chili, the kale was a great addition, but it lacked enough sweetness for me. If you like spicy chilli, you won't be disappointed.\n\nI'll definitely be back to try them again. | 12

The restaurant is pretty okay, considering it's vegan and almost all options on the menu come gluten free (for a celiac, this is amazing!) I was sort of unimpressed with the portobello mushroom burger as keeping it in the bun was pretty much impossible -- it ended up all over my hands and I ended up having to eat it with a fork. Maybe not the best design. My boyfriend had a bowl and it looked pretty alright. I also want to add that while I'm no garlic fascist, your bean dip gave me the worst breathe imaginable. I don't know how you managed to put that much garlic in there, but coming from a garlic lover you need to tone it down a little.\n\nEither way, this place has some kinks it needs to work out, but it'll get there. I'm proud to say we've got a vegan fast food joint in Montreal. | 12

They gave me a costumers wrong order(Which was my correct order). Normally I wouldn't care but they came from outside the location. I have no idea what could've been done to it before hand! | 01

Waou! Quel superbe endroit. \u00c9tant une fervente amatrice de bi\u00e8res de micro-brasserie, j'attendais depuis plusieurs semaines l'ouverture de ce bar dans mon quartier. \n\nQuelques coches plus \u00e9l\u00e9gant que le Vices et Versa, mais avec une liste de bi\u00e8res tout aussi impressionnante (et m\u00eame une stout en cask, lorsque j'y ai fait mon tour), l'endroit \u00e9pate. La d\u00e9co est vraiment belle, et l'endroit est relativement spacieux. 24 f\u00fbts, dont quelques-uns brass\u00e9s par les propri\u00e9taires, des bi\u00e8res en bouteilles provenant du Danemark, de la Belgique et du Qu\u00e9bec, du vin, du scotch, et plusieurs autres types d'alcool; c'est s\u00fbr que vous y trouverez votre compte. Le menu, bien que succinct, m'a vraiment tent\u00e9e, et j'ai h\u00e2te d'y retourner pour y go\u00fbter! Les prix sont plus que corrects, 7,25$ pour une pinte et entre 10 et 16$ pour un plat. \n\nLe service \u00e9tait un peu lent, mais \u00e7a ne faisait qu'une journ\u00e9e que le bar \u00e9tait officiellement ouvert lorsque j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9, donc je n'en tiens pas rigueur. Les serveurs \u00e9taient super courtois et connaissaient leurs produits. \n\nBref. Endroit que je recommande chaudement! Go Rosemont, t'es hot! | 12

A new beer bar? I'll be there. I tried to belly up to this bar on Friday and there was a line (an actual line! On Beaubien!) and when I'm looking for a casual beer and hang with a beloved buddy I don't do lines, so I skipped it; but slipped in no sweat on the next sunny Sunday afternoon and this time was not disappointed. A very relaxed, good looking set of rooms, nice dim warm lighting, a feeling of metallic and wood, and a long bar with sleek matching taps. You order from a beer menu with over 20 local choices, including a few nice finds and homemade beers you won't find on other lists in the city. The staff was friendly, calm and helpful and the big windows and two big rooms and long central shared standing table all lure me back for winter drinking. I suspect the buzz will mellow and the lineups will dissipate into a generally popular bar, and I'll be there. | 12

Isle de garde entered my list of new bars I needed to visit urgently as soon I read the review from Karine S. Expectations have been set high and satisfied well by the extensive choice of local beers. We, the \""old\"" people, arrived around 7pm on Saturday and the bar was already packed, but we managed to get our own spot of counter type in the second room. Later during the night when the \""young\"" population of Montreal infiltrated the bar, people would be just standing up and drinking. The bar offers also nice list of food options. I had the marinated pork tongue, served in a jar with toasted baguette and mustard, delicious snack for good brew. Service is great. The guys handled very professionally the concern that the second pint of the smoky PunkRaugh lager didn't taste the same, may be they did a mistake when I just ordered \""the same\"" or they just changed the keg, but they brought immediately a small tasting glass and substituted the pint in question. Besides that I enjoyed the floor in the bathrooms, which is of numismatic value. Ultimately, I'm happy to see another bar, where I can explore the amazing Quebec beers! | 12

Bonne s\u00e9lection de bi\u00e8re. Ambiance d\u00e9contract\u00e9e. La cuisine est capable d'envoyer plats une ou deux coches au-dessus du regular pub fare. Rapport qualit\u00e9 prix bien correct. C'est franchement bruyant, par contre. Au point d'\u00eatre parfois inconfortable. | 12

Updating because of a few important things I didn't know about on my first visits: like many of my favourite bars and restaurants in this city there are no televisions. As someone who didn't grow up with one I find the flickering allure of the screen impossible to look away from and for me it's a conversation killer. BUT, the other half of the classically genius Quebec equation is this: a TV, or in this case a projector and big screen, materializes when the Habs play. Isle de Garde play the game without sound so it doesn't take over, but you can keep up with everybody's favourite Canadiens. \n\nAlso: they have a sandwich that is mac and cheese inside a grilled cheese. \n\nThose are my important updates. | 12

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!\n\nthis place would have been nice if:\n1. the hot water heater worked\n2. the room was closer to the pool and spa\n3. the spa was hotter\n4. instead of what was supposed to be in the shower, they had three huge rings that looked like smashed condoms.\n5. the sofa bed was broken\n6. the tv was broken\n7. the shuttle service to the strip was slow\n8. housekeeping didnt clean but expected a tip\n9. did i mention the room was bad?\nthis place sucked!!! | 01

Ok seriously these people are annoying. The act like they are from the las vegas visitors bureau but they are TIMESHARE reps. Ok sure I got two tickets for peepshow and two spice market buffet ticks for dirt cheap but the presentation for 2 hours was NOT worth my time. First Carol who was our rep was annoying. She would ask me questions like how much do I think a hotel room is on average a night- well in Vegas right now about $50. She said that's not realistic more like $150 (um not sure where in Vegas she is talking about, we paid under $80 a night for THE HOTEL at mandalay bay). Basically, a person would be looking at $5,000 a year for a week of vacation. Pretty damn insane and I wasn't impressed at all. She called me out and was like you are here for the gifts aren't you. I looked at her and said YES I AM. They offered them and I wanted them and I sat through the crap. Once we said no she didn't say two words to us. Really unprofessional and the show and buffet were sub par. Seriously don't waste your time. Buy the tickets outright and save yourself some time. | 01

In 2008, my husband and i visited the model condo. We decided to get the three nights stay. We thought the condos were too modern for us. When we arrived in April 2010 to use our three nigh stay, we were greeted by an overbearing salesperson who identified himself as a concierge. He constandly stated that he needed to sign paper regarding our lease. What lease?? We only bought a three night stay. We were harassed and victimized by him. He tried to show us a 4 bedroom condo. We told him many times before that we were interested in purchasing anything. Finally, paper work to sign...................It was only a comment sheet. We were appalled that he told at least 3 hours of our vacation time. I wrote a complain letter to his supervisor and other managers. We didn't have anything from them. Our experience at Westgate Las Vegas was awful. Will never stay there again. | 01

Westgate, I hate you!\n\nWish I felt better after writing that but alas, I don't. \nI had purchased a 2 night package for Planet Hollywood. For $200 we were going to get $50 of chips and 2 nights. We had to attend a 90 minute presentation. Fine, I can do that for a nice weekend room at the PH.\n\nWhen my plans fell through I was told I wasn't going to get my money back (I knew that) and that I had until April 2011 to use the hotel (1 yr from date of purchase). I made reservations in Nov for the MLK weekend in Jan. \n\nI called to confirm my MLK plans and was told that Westgate no longer does business with PH and instead they can offer us Westgate Flamingo. 2.5 miles away from the strip? Are you kidding me? The manager quoted me that the contract says that they can change locations as they see fit. To a comparable place, one would hope! When I asked for my money back I was told that that's also a \""no can do.\"" \n\nSo I am a week from heading to Vegas and I have some interesting things that I'll be doing: staying NOWHERE near my original plans (and where our friends are staying), fighting with my credit card to dispute a transaction and paying a helluva fee to stay at another hotel. \n\nThank you for ruining my weekend, a$$holes. | 01

Hubby and I got suckered into a presentation for thei Westgate Vacation Club while on vacation in Las Vegas last week. We got free dinner and a show for our 2hours of time. \n\nAll in all the presentation was good, the condo units seem pretty nice, and the idea is a great one for people who want to travel more. \n\nHowever we do not make any snap decisions and told the sales people that, well you would have thought the world was ending....all of a sudden the higher up sales person accuses us of not being truthful with them, of not making sense since we want to go on more vacations and wanting to spend more time with family....why would we not want to buy into their vacation club....we had to suffer through 2 other sales people and say NO like 10 times before they would let us leave. \n\nIt was more stressful that it should have been....and after being treated that way will never buy anything from Westgate Resorts... You just don't treat people like that. | 01

I'm a cardiac anesthesiologist, and my wife and I like getting free stuff. So when we passed by PH and were offered 3day/2night hotel, a $50 visa debit card, 2 sets of tickets to mediocre shows which we did not attend (I wasn't interested), we decided to listen to their 90 min presentation.\n\nI was prepared for high pressure sales tactics. Since we did not buy the timeshare, this is a review of their pressured attempts to sell us.\n\nFirst, they walked us across the street to a place and then realized it was not the right resort. We waited for 15-20min for a van to take us to the right place.\n\nWhen we arrived, they we're all nice. They brought me coffee while we waited for our sales rep, and then once he was ready, we had access to OJ, coffee (just okay), oatmeal, danishes, muffins, etc. for breakfast.\n\nOur sales rep, Edgar, was a small mexican guy who was really rude. He kept saying that we couldn't afford what he was offering and for us to just take the free gifts. This might've been a little of my fault since I told him I only made $60k / yr, but once I told him the truth, he still used the same \""you can't afford this, prove me wrong\"" sales technique. He did know I was an anesthesiologist up front however, so maybe he just didn't believe my initial $60k annual salary - and just continued with his \""prove me wrong\"" condescending sales technique.\n\nThe other sales technique he used was \""impending event.\"" In other words, we had to buy now (of course) to take advantage of no credit check and being able to use other companies timeshares for $20-30 extra / week if they didn't have a Westgate resorts timeshare available in the area you wanted to vacation in.\n\nTo be perfectly honest, Edgar was such a fast talker that I didn't understand all the benefits of being an owner. He kept skipping out on many important facts like \""in what other cities are the timeshares located?\"" and also \""what is the maintenance fee?\"" despite asking him several times.\n\nThey have something to say for every response you can give them. One thing that was a huge red flag for me was that they didn't let me use my phone to look up reviews and that they didn't want me to call back tomorrow after looking up the reviews. I was honestly interested in buying, but it was just not possible to call back later to buy after looking up the reviews. I don't even like watching movies before looking at reviews!\n\nAfter a prolonged presentation and even though we could've easily afforded buying the 2-bed condo in cash (I think it was about $40k total), I basically had to say \""I cannot afford it\"" for them to let us go and get our gifts (and they were condescending about it). Then two more people came by and offered us lowered prices and special payment plans, but we basically had to say \""sorry we can't afford it.\""\n\nFinally, we were allowed to leave and received our gifts as promised. The whole experience took about 3 hours.\n\nI don't think Edgar is normally a rude, condescending guy, but I really do think that this was his sales style using the sales technique \""prove-me-wrong-that-you-can-afford-this,\"" as well as the technique of \""impending event,\"" and finally of course \""reciprocity\"" (by giving us the free gifts and thus feeling obligated). There are probably several other sales techniques that were used and that I'm not remembering (gimme a break, I'm a physician and we do not study marketing in school!), but those are the main ones that come to mind. I guess the sales technique of lowering the initial price to something significantly better is another technique that was used.\n\nAfter reading these reviews here, I'm SO GLAD I did NOT buy from them!\n\nI actually feel a little sorry for Edgar and the rest of the sales people. Their act of preying upon susceptible people and force selling sets up a large amount of negative karma for the sales people, and it isn't a very respectable job by any means. | 01

Buying a Westgate timeshare was the biggest mistake I've ever made. Every other bad choice in my life has at least ended up leading me somewhere better or helped me to become a better person down the road, but not the timeshare. This bad decision sucked a ton of money out of me and continues to do so for maintenance and taxes every year, and I haven't gotten ANYTHING out of it except for years worth of scam artists cold-calling me to get MORE money out of me to supposedly sell it - a scam that probably works a lot with Westgate owners because having this $#@! timeshare is such a MISERABLE experience. EVERY time I have tried to use my timeshare, there has been something new pop out of the woodwork. \""Oh sorry, that resort will be an extra $1000 fee because it's ski season.\"" \""Oh sorry, that resort, and that one, and that one, and yes, those other ones, are all full.\"" \""Oh sorry, there's a new rule at Planet Hollywood now where you have to bank your week by September 30th of the previous year or it's gone until 2014. Yes, we know that Westgate used to allow you to use it in off-years, but we're Hilton now. Tough luck.\"" \n\nWe were promised easy booking, plenty of availability, lots of choices for resorts, a big grand opening party when PH opened... nothing. I've had none of that. The timeshare presentation was smoke and mirrors, and now I own a worthless so-called \""vacation\"" package I have not been able to actually use ONCE in 4 years. And I've been paying over $650 in taxes every year for the privilege of NOT actually going on vacation.\n\nDO NOT DO NOT DO NOT let these scam artists suck you in. If only I had read reviews before signing that paper. If only. | 01

-000000 Worst \""resort\"" ever!\nOOPS - Wrong Westgage Resort - This review is for the Branson, MO Location\n\nAfter traveling all day, I arrived at the Westgate hotel around 5:30 PM - it took me 2 1/2 hours to get a room. This was after:\n1. They told me they had no rooms that would accommodate my reservation ( I had two disabled senior citizens in my group)\n2. I was sent to a room that was already occupied\n3. Finally placed in another room and THEN received call from front desk stating I was in the wrong room\n4. Conversations with numerous staff members (none that were communicating with each other). \n\nAfter complaining to the \""manager\"" my compensation was that I could receive complimentary Wi-Fi (which I had been told was free). Funny thing is - no Wi-Fi, even after calling the front desk AGAIN (where they told me they would charge me...hmmm Free??)...Ultimately never received Wi-Fi connection. \n\nI would recommend that no one ever stay at this resort as their customer service is a negative 0! \n\nPS: The room was not as pictured online, very old & musty with a cover up of bleach smelling. | 01

My husband and I visited this time share presentation. What was suppose to be a 90 minute presentation turned into 3 hours. My sister and her boyfriend were with us. Our Vacation Consultant Janice Spikes had no professional training. She tried to presser us into buying into their program. Not to mention she was pushing her own business and churches. We thanked her for her time, and politely told her no thank you. Here come rep #2 to discount the price, No thank you, finally rep #3 wants to know what he can do to get us to buy, \""Nothing\"" , no means no. I got my $95.00 cash and left. On our way out I wanted to tell potential buyers to go back.\nWorst Timeshare presentation I have been to. | 01

Westgate resorts are full of shit, nothing but rob people for money and get the big guy even richer! Worst experience we ever had , when they tried to get me and my wife to buy timeshare, forcing us , just to get our Disney tickets they promised for half price , after this experience I really should of bought the tickets full price. Thanks God we ranned out of their waiting area right when they wanted us to sign the contract!! Thank you God , that we got away from these people!! Don't be fooled ! Look at people's reviews from experience . Don't Waiste your time , money ! No no no you will regret it believe me! Wow just to see other review , it sucks people got screwed!! Hope fully they go out of business and stop robbing people! | 01

On our vakantion they ask us for breakfast, I ask Lisa (bitch from the customer service) Is iT about time sharing, she Sa\u00efd no iT is not, and we Will get. $75,- if we go.\nWe went and it was about time sharing, so we went back to Lisa, and we did not get the $75,- because we did not stay the 90 minuten. She was laying to us and Being rude. The rooms are noisy. I don't come back here ever!!!!!!!!! | 01

I was very disappointed with my experience with Westgate Resorts. I was approached in the mall by a representative who offered tickets to a show for $20.00 if I would go to listen to a 90 min presentation. I went and ended up spending 3 hours. The offer looked interesting and I told them I wanted a day to research before I made my final decision. They told me that I could do that but they would hold on to my tickets and to call the next day to arrange pick up. I called my representative twice and left a message. Cody never returned my call and I never received a call back or my tickets. So I ended up losing $20.00 and 3 hours. \n\nWhat's more concerning is that in the presentation I was told that my personal representative would be there to help me once I signed up. Based on the fact I had called and left messages with no returned call only makes me wonder what the service would be like if I actually signed up. The business card I received was also for a different company, so it also makes me wonder how committed the representative is to his job. With all of the promises it just sounds too good to be true. \n\nIf you do decide to take advantage of the offer, here are some tips.\n\nWhen asked:\nHow often you go to Vegas, say once every couple of years\nHow many vacations you go on in a year, keep it low\nHow much you spend per trip, keep it low\n\nThe questions are ammunition to convince you their program is a good deal. If you resist and tell them it is out of your budget they will likely offer you a foreclosure for nearly half the original cost.\n\nThis whole experience has put such a bad taste in my mouth I will never go to a presentation again. | 01
|
People,\n\nIt's so plane and simple. If you're an idiot and you don't care about where you waste your money and you want to be treated like trash then by all means go give your money to these losers, like so many dumb people have. \n\nBut, if you value your family, time, and money, stay away from this disgusting company and their putrid sales staff. | 01

I wouldn't even give this one star but no star isn't an option. You get approached by them asking, \""would you like great deals on shows or dinner?\""- that's their sales pitch, right? But of course you know it's about a time share. And you tell them you're not interested but the person presenting you your deals about discounted show tickets and dinner is extremely friendly - \""Just compare your hotel to our resort, only a 90 min presentation. You get a nice lunch (not- old subs sitting there the whole day and a bag of chips) and we'll hook you up with all these shows or a dinner and $100\"". \n\nWe made the biggest mistake and gave in!!\n\nYou get set up with a sales person, ours was Samuel and he was friendly in the beginning but you tell them you're not interested and he became extremely rude. I regret not reporting him to a manager or someone above him about the way he treated us after we said no to signing up for a timeshare. \n\nAfter saying no repeatedly, he told us \""well you're not going to find anything for $1, you only came here for show tickets\"", as if we were even interested in a timeshare in Vegas in the first place! And yes we were there for discounted show tickets! Your initial sales pitch to getting anyone to listen to your presentation on your timeshare resort are discounted tickets to shows! Why is this a shock?!\nBuying a timeshare is not a decision you make over a 3 hr presentation! Yes, they will keep you way over 90min.\n\nIt pretty much ruined our day just because they treat you like shit when you don't sign up for a timeshare. They were so rude - even a manager said \""ugh, just give them their tickets and get them out of here\"".\n\nResort was nice but just based on how we were treated, I wouldn't recommend anyone to westgate resort- at least not getting suckered into this situation like we were. | 01

I have thought that maybe my post will be useful to those who have bought or thinking of buying.It has been said a lot of negative things about Westgates,and I am not going there,They all are true.Period. But you can get out if you act fast. We got into it too (stupid,but people act stupid in Vegas :),but thanks to your guys posts,we desperately wanted out.And we acted fast. According to NV law,you have FIVE days to reject a time-share property you purchased,and it has to be in writing.We sent overnight letter to the showroom in Vegas,to their headquarter in FL,to the resort itself and to the title company.Just in case.We got out and got our deposit back. Our son is still mocking at us that we really went Vegas.lol. There are also ways to get out after five days,but they are more complex. If you got yourself into this trap,research NV time-share law and act. Hope my post will prevent somebody from buying into it or help get out in time. | 01

The wife and I did a Westgate timeshare presentation in Branson MO. We were going to do it at The Woods, but then were \""upgraded\"" to their Emerald Pointe location. The salesman said were swapping a woods view for a lake view. Turns out we traded a woods view for a view of the parking lot and garbage cans with thin walls so we could clearly hear the screaming kids in the lake view room next door. When we asked for another room we were told the lake view rooms were for owners. The timeshare presentation was supposed to be 90 min but as usual lasted 2.5 hrs, even though I expedited the close because we were used to the tactics. The first offer was 50 grand for one week in two bedroom, which can be split into two weeks if you split it with one week of one bedroom lake view and with view of the parking lot. I told our salesperson that was exorbitant and to bring on \""the manager who is just going to review everything\"" second offer. As is typical, she offered a biannual week for 11 grand, then nine grand as last offer. Thankfully, there was not another manager to review everything was done correctly and then offer yet another offer as is customary with other timeshare companies. Overall not too pushy for timeshare salespeople but wholly crap, Westgate really values their garbage can view properties. I told them we would think about after researching online which I wasn't able to do since Westgate doesn't offer free wifi. I then asked when we would be eligible for for another timeshare presentation so we could stay another two nights for $99. | 01

Was taken to the 'welcome desk' after checking into the LVH. The hotel staff (which is otherwise cool) has been trained by this corporation to prey on ignorant vacationers in a very sleazy and manipulative way. They're like pushy car salesmen, but ten times worse. Very disrespectful and don't take NO for an answer. Left a bad taste in my mouth and certainly won't be returning to the LVH because of this. Gross. | 01

One star is waaaay to high for this place. Lies, lies, and more lies. Plan on spending half the day, not 90 minutes. Oh and oops they ran out of the show tickets you were promised. Plus the place is a dump and they are looking for suckers to pay $69,000 for a one week a year time share so they can use your money to fix it up. You will leave angry, guaranteed! | 01

These people are crazy rude! My girlfriend and I stopped at the appeal of free stuff. We signed up for a 90 minute tour for the following day at 930am. Then it was 1015 but they said to arrive at 930 so now it went from 1.5 hours to 2.25 hours! We started to doubt all of this and the guy started flailing his arms all over and making sounds of disappointment. We stuck around and finished the paper work, gave the 40 dollar deposit and left. Walked back 5 minutes later to cancel after looking them up on yelp and yes, you guessed it, the dude acted like the world ended. Then we tried to get our papers back and they said no. My girl grabbed them off the counter and tore them up and walked away. Stay away from these people complete A holes!!!! | 01

This hotel, in its 3 rd life, now as the Westgate, is tired. The hot water handle came off in my hand. There's mold on the wallpaper in my bathroom. It's a throwback, but not in a nostalgic way. \n\nOn a positive note the staff is friendly sand there are lots of people there to help you. Let's hope the new owner pumps money into updating the facilities. | 01

I didn't realize that Westgate had just bought LVH. This was our first time staying here (call it the Westgate or the LVH) It's really hard to believe this is under new management.... Apparently we stayed on the 'renovated' 23rd floor, but I began to wonder as we walked down to our room, as the hallways were clearly old, smelly, with falling apart baseboards, and old wall paper..The room was not much better. I think it would better if I just enumerate the problems we encountered. \n\n1. When checking in, the lady at the front desk asked us if we wanted a king bed, we said, 'yes.' She said that she upgraded our room for us. We said 'Thank you' (incidentally, it was the lady's last day, so we thought maybe that's why she upgraded us, or maybe that's what all hotels say in Vegas??)\n\n2. We get to the room, which, yes was huge (hence 'upgraded\"") we look over to our 'king' size bed, to find that it was, in fact, a MURPHY BED in a double size. I would have called to complain but we literally had to run out the door as soon as we got there to pick up my parents from the airport. (Anyways, why would such a huge room need a Murphy bed??)\n\n3. When it was finally time for bed, I pull down the sheets to find a stain... was it blood? was it rust? I didn't care. I can't sleep in a bed with stains. Especially not in Vegas!\n\n4. When I called to have the sheets changed, it took housekeeping a full hour to come to our room, which was at 1am when they finally came. The housekeepers were actually quite nice. They went through three sets of sheets to find us one that didn't have stains on it. (and it was actually them who kept changing the sheets, not us requesting!)\n\n5. The overall cleanliness of the room was terrible. Besides the sheet problem, there were stains on the lampshade on the desk. Their were stains on the carpet. There were stains on the wall. There were even two dirty handprints on the ceiling (!!???) The shower was disgusting, the tile floor had grime in the grout, I actually showered with my flip flops on. \n\n6. One of the circuits blew in our room, taking out two lamps and the fridge and a few outlets. very odd. \n\n7. The resort fee is $20 a day (it used to be $18 something when it was LVH, which they honored for us, since we booked our hotel when it was still LVH, which was nice) I don't really know what the resort fee is for, considering you can only have one device connected to the internet per day, and you have to renew that connection everyday. \n\n8. We requested, as well as my parents, to get a room somewhat close to each other. They gave us each a room on the 23rd floor, on the COMPLETE OPPOSITE END of the floor... it was seriously a quarter mile walk in between our rooms! ridiculous. On top of that, the hallway STANK walking through it. \n\nI'm sorry, but this was not a pleasant stay for us. I don't like writing negative reviews, but I felt this was necessary. I really cannot foresee us ever staying here again. | 01

This is by far the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. If I could give it less than one star I would. I booked 5 nights through a travel agent and upon check in they told me they only have me down for 4 nights. I showed them my booking and receipt and they said they would honor it. Upon check out I saw they still charged me for the 5th night even though they were NOT supposed to and said it had been taken care of. I went to the front desk and they told me it was a mistake and that they would refund the money. I took the receipt for the refund and thought that was the end of it. When I checked my statement I saw they had NOT refunded the money. They just gave me a receipt as if they did it but didn't complete the transaction. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! When I was talking to the front desk another customer was complaining about the same issue... Coincidence or professional scammers? Probably the latter. I was only staying here because I was exhibiting at the convention center and since it was my first time I thought it would be best to stay close. NEVER AGAIN! Now I see that many other hotels have shuttles to the convention center and I will NEVER stay in their disgusting rooms again!\n\nTrust me do NOT stay here even if they give it to you for free! | 01
