why o' why would anyone go to the grand lux?

The service at the Grand Lux in LA is very good.
Too bad about the one in LV-was only there once and I remeber the service and mngt. were very stupid.
Best idea is to go at off times-I line up(or not)for dinner by 6 or after nine.
Usually skip b'fast and go to the buffet around 10:45

I've only been to the Grand Luxe once in Las Vegas but the food and service were excellent. I had the Pasta Telefono and I plan on dining there again on my next trip. The Pasta Telefono is to die for.
Maybe you guys just had a bad server or something?
