| - As always, one is relieved to find a starbucks in the hotel one is staying at in Vegas. However, I was quite horrified at the prices of drinks. almost 5 bucks for a grande latte? What the hell? I could get a venti latte AND a cookie at my local starbucks. WHY. Starbucks, you are quite greedy, I say.
Seating is sparse, as there are SO many people sitting around! I had to awkwardly stand to the side while creepy older men leered at me while I waited for my drink :c
I love that this place is 24 hours. As others say, the wait is tedious; I was surprised to find it held true when there was one person in front of me, and I was the only one in line at the front! Whatever, I needed my latte fix.
Turns out, they accept starbucks cards, but they don't reload!! WHY? She took my starbucks rewards card, but didn't deduct the extra charge for soy (75 cents, instead of the usual 60 cents.) I know I shouldn't complain, but I guess I'm just used to not having to pay for being lactose intolerant?
When I came the next day, I was happy that they had Calm tea, though it wasn't on the menu. They freshly brewed it for me, and iced it, keeping the bag inside. I've never gotten an iced tea (other than the normal black tea [awake]) so i'm not sure if they usually leave tea bags inside, but it was perfectly brewed - so no complaints.
Of course, I'll grudgingly pay for this next time I stay here... Damn my coffee tendencies.
