Great place. The staff was helpful, and they had an impressive inventory for whatever your hobby is. Some things are quite overpriced, but for the most part it is reasonable.

Nothing really special about this place. It was a mess, and the inventory wasn't very good either. The lines were a little slow, but it wasn't a disaster either. Would be willing to give a second chance.

The workers here were extremely polite without overly bothering you if they can help you. The place is huge and has a wide variety of clothing and brands. Some of the clearance items were awesome deals, too.

Keeping in mind my low expectations, this place is terrible. Slow service, soggy burgers.. blagh. I will give it the benefit of the doubt because of said low expectations and give it two stars... but unless you really have a craving like Harold & Kumar avoid this place.

This is a really good place to see a show. I've been here several times, and the only complaints I have are with parking... but that's to be expected. It's a small venue, but every seat in the house is a good seat. The staff is usually on top of things, and the place attracts some great acts.

I'm a fan of the Halo bar. I've been here a few times - albeit not unless I was at a concert - but it's a low-key place to get a drink while you're at the Pageant. It's also a great place to meet the bands that are performing. I met the guys from Seether here last week. There was a mixed crowd and not much drama. Just a lot of people having a good time. The bartenders were quick and gracious as well.

A group of us came here on a Saturday night about 3 a.m. and closed the place down around 6 or 7. I don't remember if there was a cover to get in. But once we got in, the prices were pretty steep. $40 for a one song private dance, $10 for a back rub... $8.25 for a Red Bull... $9 for a Jagerbomb. The entertainment was extremely beautiful and polite. I think I was only solicited a private dance once. Of course I accepted, what's a guy to do? Rough area but a chill atmosphere inside. Just bring plenty of cash because the ATM machine hijacks $5 per transaction, and it goes quick, believe me.

They advertise this club to be very upscale. The decor looks great on the web site, but it looks more impressive on the web site than in person. It was a $10 cover on Saturday night. However, I learned that you can sign up for their guest list on their myspace page for a "discounted cover". Once inside the vibe was pretty good. It didn't feel "upscale" with a ton of snotty people. I would tell you how much drink prices were, but I had too many later in the night to remember. They had a VIP area, which is guarded and gated. They said you needed to know the owner to get in, but I saw some pretty dorky people going up there. So you may have to grease the gatekeeper to get in there. Decent club. Would go again, but it was a little overhyped.

I came here on a Saturday night for about a half hour. There was no cover before 11. The club looked really really small, though. There were quite a few people in there, but it wasn't jam packed to where you couldn't move. They played house music, and it probably is a decent place to chill. However, I wasn't up for the small atmosphere.

This was a typical chain hotel. Nothing fancy, nothing horrible. It has an outdoor pool and an indoor pool. The indoor pool is tiny and only gets to 4' deep. There was a fitness center with cardio machines. They didn't have a jacuzzi. Instead, they had jets in the indoor pool and a ledge to sit on. The beds weren't hard, but they weren't comfortable either. No movie channels when I stayed, and the movie ordering service was allegedly down. Hot breakfast in the morning, which was OK. The hotel was well-kept. Again, not a bad place to stay, but I've stayed at better hotels for the price, which neared $100.
