I never thought in a million years I would be giving this sort of service a review, not to mention 5-stars.  I have been playing around with the idea of getting a Brazilian for a long time, razors are not my friend.  I was however afraid and detoured by so many different reviews that I read for other locations.  Once I found the reviews for Tina it was somewhat settling, but I was still afraid of the "pain".  

As a first time Brazilian client, pain and sanitation were my primary concerns.  I was quite impressed with Tina's salon set up and her sanitation methods.  This lady has it down and knows what she is doing.  She was very careful and took her time and did small patches of hair to ensure I was not in too much pain/discomfort.  I was very satisfied with the outcome. I have thrown all my razors away and will be back for regular waxings.  Thank you Tina! See you soon!

We stayed at the Historic Napa River in about a month ago. Being that this was the most convenient place to eat we stopped in to grab a bite.  I love all the little gift items they have available and the fact that you can partake in wine tasting as well.  I however stopped in for breakfast.  The service was friendly and the food was great.  I thoroughly enjoyed the salmon flat bread, it was delicious and a generous portion for the price.  If I am in the area again I would stop by even just to pick up a few items or sample some wines.

We tried to get a bite to eat here, but it was too packed. We made our way in and found a corner in the back by the pool table. My boyfriend tried for about 15-20 minutes to get someone to help him, since we were unsuccessful we left.

My BF and I ordered the taco combo plate that comes with slaw and fries.  We asked for grilled salmon instead of the fried fish.  The tacos were HUGE and the slaw was delicious as were the fries. I really enjoyed how fresh tasting everything was.  I also like that there was no mayonnaise in the slaw it had a nice sweet flavor and was quite refreshing.  For the combo it was $11.95 with the grilled tacos, slaw, and fries and both my boyfriend and I left full and super content.

2 slices and a draft beer for $8.50 hell to the yeah! This was the perfect meal for my boyfriend and me to split.  Food and drinks are great and comparably priced.   I really like that this place is open late and the staff is cool as hell.  Definitely a cool place to grab a slice and chill!

What a cute little boutique.  I was lured in by the $1 item table, what a bargain! Then I walked inside to see what other items and sorts of deals they had and everything was so cute and fantastically priced! I got a cute wooden ring, two hair clips, and 5 bracelets for just under $15. What a steal!  The clerk was very friendly and sweet. I will definitely stop by this little gem again when I am in the area.

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant and really want to love it.  The deal that our room came with gave us two complimentary cocktails and we couldn't turn that down.  Friday night we made our way to the bar to have an appetizer and a couple of drinks, I ordered a gin and tonic and the Truffle Artichoke Spinach Dip and it literally took forever to get our drinks and even longer for the appetizer.  The drink and appetizer were both good and I really enjoyed all the pieces of artichoke that were in the dip.  

We went back again for Happy Hour during the late afternoon on Saturday and ordered a couple of drinks.  Their drinks are the best deal they have $5 for signature well drinks and $4 beers.  For $5 let me have the Hot Paloma, HOLY JESUS the menu said that the drink is very hot and it does not lie! This drink is not for the faint of heart, ones with weak digestion, or sensitivity to heat (spiciness). We also ordered the Margherita Flatbread which was 4 small slices of flatbread pizza and lasagna cupcake.  Both items had good flavor, but the portions were really tiny and made me sad.

We went to see a show and came back for late night happy hour.  We were disappointed at the food selection on the late night happy hour as the only item on the late night menu that is vegetarian friendly was the Margherita pizza (no artichoke dip!) and we already decided we weren't big enough fans of the flavor to spend $9 on that when we could walk around the block and get 2 slices of pizza and a beer for $8.75.  I did however try another signature cocktail, the pickled gin and I enjoyed the hell out of it.  I was very frustrated this time as well because we were seated outside and forgotten once again.  It took over 20 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge us and that is because I finally said something.  All the employees were inside screwing around by the bar. I say screwing around because I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and entertained the idea of them being in a meeting, but a couple of them smacked each other and were laughing and chasing each other around like children. I am glad you enjoy working at the Glass Door and your co-workers, but please work first then play around. Thanks!

If I am in the area again I would go for a couple pickled gins or other signature cocktails, but definitely not for dinner.

We got a deal from groupon for a two night stay here.  We stayed this past weekend and really liked the location. Little Italy is cute and offers lots of nice little restaurants to eat at and lounges to chill and grab a cocktail.  We upgraded from the Queen room to the King for $25 additional a night and it was large and nicely appointed.  The room came with a King bed (obviously) and a large sofa with a pull out bed and the room could easily sleep 4-5 people comfortably.  The room also came with a microwave and had a large restroom with two showers nothing too special, but it was nice.

By one of the elevators there is an ice and vending machine. The vending machine has a variety of snacks including healthier items like baked chips.  I also like that it was stocked with tooth brushes and items that you may have forgotten to pack.

When we went in the elevator we saw one of those giant faces on the wall and it freaked me out. I am super glad we did no have that decor in our room!

I know a lot of people complained about the parking, but we were always able to find a spot on the street with ease and saved my $22 a day :)

LOVE THIS OUTLET STORE!  The time before last I stopped here on the way to Vegas and fell in love with the cutest purse, and didn't buy it.  This time I decided I would buy myself what I wanted or I knew I would end up kicking myself for it.  I got away with a ring, a necklace, and a purse for only $110!!!  There was a great sale going on and I got even more of a discount for buying more than one accessory.  I think it was an additional 20% off or something fantastic like that.

If you LOVE Betsey Johnson this is a must stop by store on your way in/out of Vegas!

AMAZING! This hotel went beyond all of our expectations!  We arrived, late, nearly midnight I would say.  We went to the registration desk to check-in and found out our room was not ready because they thought we were a no show.  To compensate they immediately gave us a $50 food and beverage credit.  The lady checking us in then gave us a room with a view of the Bellagio water show which we thought was pretty cool.  On our way up they called us back and told us they upgraded us to a balcony studio room/suite on the 58th floor. This room was AMAZING and the view was even better than the first room!  Saturday morning we came back from Vanity and ordered room service, we were able to get a huge pizza for only $26. That is awesome for room service, considering that the following night my friend ordered a $40 hamburger HA!  Overall, we got a fantastic deal and paid about a third of what those rooms are going for now!  

* There were two things that I disliked, one was the TV would not shut off and was blaring all night long. My friend did not want to bother engineering and ended up eventually unplugging it.

* And the other was there was always a long wait time when calling room service and concierge.

Other than those two items the Cosmo is amazing!
