This place was rundown and it also had a stale, almost dirty kitchen, bathroom smell combination. Me and the wife live down in Summerlin and decided to make a drive up to have lunch. Kobe burgers tasted like ALBERTSON'S GROUND CHUCK. To make matters worse, the cook came out to fraternize with the waitress and he sneezed into his hand. Gross. It makes you wonder what's going on in the back. We won't be coming back here.

We are regular visitors to Las Vegas. We visited the resort Dec 26th-Dec28th 2012 and could not have asked for a better stay. The scenery is amazing ( a far contrast from the Strip 35 minutes away). The weather was great. Snow but not too cold. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The bar was quaint and the happy hour a great value. The bar staff and regulars made us at home. Cut Above was good and the views fantastic. My only regret is getting there as we would go again. Really no way for visitors arriving by plane to get there other then renting a car in driving to the mountains. Ideally if they would offer a shuttle service on request from airport, downtown, or elsewhere for a nominal fee to make it cost effective for out of town visitors. If it was easier to get to we would definitely add this stop to the rotation on regular visits to the area.

We did not stay at this 'resort', we only drove up for the buffet. Everything was run down and unpleasant. We were kept waiting outside the dining room while they set up for a 12 noon buffet. It opened late and then we had to wait on a line while we were checked in by a very unpleasant lady who was extremely out of sorts. The food was terrible, by any standards. The buffet was $26 per person. There was very little choice of food. The prime rib did not have any taste. The sweet potatoes were grainy and not sweet. The salad was mainly lettuce. The dessert table was a small table of a few pies, a tray of petit fours, and a can of whipped cream. Two of the pies were sugar free whipped pies that were still frozen. People were hacking at them to get pieces off. The petit fours ran out very fast and were not replaced. The servers were non attentive. The glasses were the cheap, soft plastic throw-away glasses that you would find in a fast food place. The view from the dining room was the parking lot or the front of the hotel. We walked around the property, which advertised hiking trails. There were no trails that we could find. There was a small viewing area behind the hotel which was bordered by water tanks, etc.. The property did not appear to be kept up/maintained very well at all. A total waste of time and money.

We took advantage of a weekend special and enjoyed every minute ! Our room was cozy with its wall fireplace while snowflakes drifted by our window. Bedding was luxurious and comfy. Hotel bar was nearby, small but with a touch of continental flare. Interesting decor to admire in lobby. Attached dining facility offered superb food and service was excellent. Very nice views.
