Starbucks

I used to like this place until today.
First of, you should know that their prices are higher than other starbucks.
When you order, if you want a cup of water they will charge you an extra $ 1 (yes a whole dollar for tap water). Their excuse is because of the plastic cup (which I’d be surprised if cost them more than a penny) but in reality they are probably hoping you don’t notice it or end up buying their outrageously priced mineral water, as a sales booster tactic. Not sure if it’s true? Just ask to get the water in a ceramic cup and see what’s the response you’ll get.
Wanna sit with your laptop? Think again, all their outlets are conveniently not working for months now, according to the barista, which I’ve asked after trying 5 different outlets to finish my work email before my computer died on me (why fix it when it makes people stay longer).
Seems like the owner is really one-​time-​customer (tourists…) oriented and couldn’t care the less about your experience as a customer.
There are better locations around, I’d recommend avoiding this one.

Order my hot expresso shots and add a cup of ice on the side, they said it would be an extra $ 1.00 for my cut of grande ice. NEVER coming back to this location again

This is your normal Starbucks but right inside the westin hotel and open 24 hrs. They will even take your Starbucks rewards card and have the normal gifts that are great for any occasion

Love this Starbucks at the Westin. It’s open 24 hours a day. It was even open on NYE!
Also I ordered a Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino this morning and they actually had the salt. All other Starbucks (LA, NY) I have been to the last few months were out of the salt.
The cashier and baristas were friendly enough even though they working NYE.

After standing in line for over ten minutes, we left. Slow, slow, slow. Located near the parking lot on the way out at Planet Hollywood.

I love the this Starbucks is Inside the hotel (Westin). It has a huge seating area. You can sit there, enjoy your cup of Coffee and people watch. I always order the skinny vanilla latte. This one was ok, the vanilla flavor was missing. Maybe they forgot to add the syrup, but I didn’t feel like getting up to say anything. I much rather enjoyed my time alone while everyone else in my party slept and drank my coffee.

Soooo I apparently checked in at the wrong location but did drive by this location — it is a good spot and anything open 24 hours on the strip is a smart thing.
I went to the one at Flamingo and Paradise which is an amazing spot, easy access and really cool!

This Starbucks gets five stars just for being open 24 hours every day of the week. I was just recently told by someone that this location was inside the Westin and it was open ²⁴⁄₇. The staff is friendly and attentive also.

This Starbucks is located in the corner on the first floor of the Westin Hotel, next to the Enterprise Rent-​A-​Car counter.
PROS
+It’s Starbucks
+Large seating area
CONS
–Long lines
–Slow service
–No hot menu items
Lines are long first thing in the morning. With my luck, I was last in line and the employees weren’t too friendly and didn’t have a sense of urgency. Maybe they hadn’t had the chance to have their morning cup o’ Joe yet but they were moving extra slow. The customer in front of my happened to be an employee of the hotel so the cashier/​barista was chattin’ it up with him even though I had been waiting in line for forever! When it was finally my turn, I didn’t get a «Thanks for your patience.» «Thanks for waiting.» Nope, none of that. On top of that, I found out that they didn’t sell any of the normal warm Starbucks foods like the turkey pesto sandwich I was craving. Boo. I’ll skip this Starbucks the next time in the area.

among the dirtiest i’ve seen… compliments the filthy target store that it’s in… yuk! let’s not even talk abt the torn up parking lot

I give this Starbucks four stars because it’s considerably bigger than a usual Starbucks that you find in casinos — most of the ones around the Strip are the Target-​sized Starbucks. You know what I mean. This one is almost normal-​sized. Also, the lady who worked behind the counter was nice and cheery and commiserated with me about the change in style of the ‘You Are Here’ mugs. the old blue ones are definitely better, right?

It’s a Starbucks, what more can you expect? The location is decent, inside the Westin hotel and it only gets crowded in the morning hours. There is comfy seating, you can also take your drink over to the bar area on the first floor or sit at one of the slot machines.

Beverage Dome: Smoothie and Frap Enter, Only 1 Emerges
Let it be known that for the most part I actively stay away from coffee shops. The people that often congregate there have conversations that are very different than bars. And that’s the nicest way I can summarize my coffee shop experiences.
I stumbled my way in here once because of handfuls of scraps of paper that accumulated in my work and home life. It was a weekday, and I was pleasantly surprised that this location was all but abandoned sans myself. It allowed me to plow thru this scribbled hell and manage it to workable plans.
A few weeks ago as I type this it was record breaking hotter than hell and it’s a big thing for everyone to ignore it until someone else complains. And then we unleash our chambered story beginning «oh, this is nothing…» Of course, you were raised near 3 mile island and had to take your long sleeved shirt off for a whole week.
I have even made fun of this establishments name, often calling it fivebucks. However, this is the one location (of 2) that I have ever enjoyed going to, not just in Vegas but anywhere I have ever been. And this is from the chain that has densely packed locations across the street from each other less than 150′ away. The other location of course where I knew someone who worked there & it was blessed to be near a strip club where the dancers were pre/​post shift regulars. Time to consider my statute of limitations on an old review of that place. What do you think, should I?
The last time I was in here I realized shit, I should have applied here?! At the time I was a regular, I had probably the best job I had going into what was my ultimate fantasy job. It was when things were going south at that job was when I should have applied. I don’t know what the hell hindsight actually is, but it sure presents itself as a mocking enemy to me for the most part.
I have actually applied at another location and crunched thru their online psycho-​metrics. No, this chain does not take an interest in people wear something nice and go out of their way to talk to a manager. And I have all but minored in the psychological aspects of those application tests that ask you in several different ways the ethics of not reporting someone who has stolen a paperclip from the work place.
But this location is where I could always get a cool frap on those unbearably hot days. And it’s also the place I left work for some place quiet where my work actually got done. In fact, I got into the pattern of sorting the work I had to do by priority and packing it to be done here.
It was a lot like doing laundry: let it pile up there, sort it, bring it all here and go thru it systematically jacked up on mocha. I attribute this place to also to find an alternative so I wouldn’t not write everything on scraps of paper to prevent the stacks later. I tried small notebooks, note pads and settled on the system I still use to this day.
I’ve always enjoyed coming to the Westin, I got to know some of the staff thru work and would loved to have worked there, also. But I understood what little turnover the place has for what I was interested in, the double edged sword of a great job.
This was often my checkpoint to recover from Stage door or even Ellis Island. Or Tuscany. Or it was my prebattle for the same, also including Terrible’s.
It’s sad for me to reveal such a quiet, secret fishing spot of a place. But I may not get to use it for quite some time, so I must pass it along to those who want to get away from the constant bombardment of the strip.

I particularly like this Starbucks– the Barista was funny and friendly– always makes for a great start of the day!

This Starbucks is located inside of the Westin Causarina Hotel and Casino. Since it’s not a regular Starbucks it doesn’t accept your Starbucks phone apps or give you stars. Big bummer for me.
As far as service goes it’s okay, they are not the fastest if there is a line building up, but they usually are friendly. The selection of food items can be limited and that again can be a bummer for me too.
Overall, it’s an okay Starbucks, nothing special. It’s not a legit Starbucks so you don’t get your Gold card perks either. :(Also I think it is slightly more expensive that a normal Starbucks too.
Unilocal REVIEW CHALLENGE #23/​31

Fast and friendly service, but the coffee in my latte tasted bitter and burnt.

Sometimes craziness strikes me and I push myself to attend work out classes at 6am even though I went to bed late. Then their are times that I might be going completely insane and attend two classes. Unfortunately, they never fit back to back and I have a large lag time in between. The combination of lack of sleep and early wake up made it clear that I needed caffeine.
At 8am, I was able to avoid the morning rush. The store was almost full, but I found a spot to sit and read the newspaper. A grande Americano will only set you back $ 2 and change while not ruining all the efforts of the gym. Passing up on those pastries prove to be difficult, but a sugar spike was not on my agenda. At this point, the cashier could guess that I was struggling to not give in. She didn’t push it and I was in the clear.
The staff members are efficient. A second after my money was in the register, my coffee was on the counter. With the mellow sounds of Seal drifting above, I was ready to pick up and head off to yoga.

Sometimes at the little places, like inside the hotel, these kind of Starbucks places are more like the red headed step child of the others. I can confidently say this location fits in with the rest of the family.
They have all the favorites and classics. And they are open 24 hours!
If I am staying at the Westin again, I will certainly be stopping in for an overpriced, high caloric coffee that Starbucks is known for.

This Vente iced latte really hit the spot on a 109 record-​setting day where I was tired and needed to sit and rest. This location isn’t too crowded and provides for a quiet, simple atmosphere within the Westin.

This location is located inside of the Westin hotel and is open 24 hours a day. Because that is the first thing I need in Vegas at 4am is caffeine.
The location was not crowded and there were plenty of seats too. I think they also might have free wifi because there was a lot of laptop activity going on here.
The oatmeal was good but they only filled it up about 2/3^rd’s…felt like a total rip off. I put it on my list to never order again. The room had coffee in it, so I made my own every morning. I did pick up breakfast here every morning. The turkey sandwich was good and I also liked the bluberry vanilla fiber bar. This place also had the cold double shot… one of my favorite Starbuck items!
