I would give the food here 5+ stars. It's the service that knocked it down a star. We had 8:30 pm reservations on a Thursday evening. We were seated right away. Our server, however, just seemed to be going through the motions, talking so fast, and not being personal at all. It all felt very rushed, which seemed to be the theme at every restaurant in Las Vegas. We eat a lot of sashimi and tartare, and we have to say this was the best yellowtail and tuna we have ever had...anywhere. There's something about that delicate sauce surrounding the fish that is the best. We also had the Miso Black Cod which is the chef's specialty. It was a generous serving and very flavorful. My wife thought it was a little too sweet, but I thought it impeccable. The shrimp and vegetable tempura was pretty typical, and way overpriced at $40. We would not order that again. We finished the meal with a miso tart that was fantastic. For the reputation this place has, we expected to have our socks knocked off, and because of the service, we didn't.
This was our bucket list item, helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. They picked us up and returned in a shuttle bus at the casino/hotel and drove to the Boulder City Airport. It's about 35 minutes drive time each way. Drive was pleasant, and the driver was on time. The helicopter pilot was knowledgeable and spoke about the Canyon and many sites. My wife was nervous about it, but once we got going, it was all great fun. Helicopter does have weight restrictions, so please contact them and remember that they do weight you, but only they can see it. So we went right away when we came to Las Vegas before we started hitting the buffet. This is well worth the time and money!
We wanted something before the show at Mirage, and it's conveniently located just a few minutes walk from the theater. We seated right away even though we were 30 minutes early for our reservation. Staffs were attentive. We got our menu, water, and drinks a few minutes after. Our server David answered all of our questions and took our orders. We opted out of ordering entrées and went to few appertizers (gyoza, tempura combo, seaweed salad), robata grill (Sea Bass, scallops and wagyu beef)items and a spider roll. Didn't take long to get our food. Tempura was nice and crispy. The seaweed salad needed a bit of sweet as it was more on the acidic side. Then the roll came. Unfortunately, we weren't impressed by it. It lacks the taste and seems just one note. We loved the sea bass (with mirin glaze) and scallops with some sort of bacon sauce. The wagyu was overcooked. That's why we only gave 4 ☆s.
Shout out to Highland Falls for being above and beyond. After trying about 20 public golf courses in Vegas this was the best so far. The worker gave us free range balls before our tee time and the lady filled up my large cup of water for free. The course and range is spectacular with glowing fairways, smooth greens and beautiful waterfalls all for $59. Each hole is different and the elevation creates nice city views.
Downtown is great and the D is easy to get to off the freeway. The staff is always nice and helpful. I've been to all the restaurants and the food is great. Valet is helpful, the long bar is a nice place to have a drink and relax. It's not the biggest or fanciest but it nice. I've never stayed there before but my long time real estate client stays here when they come to town and it's their favorite place to be.
