[El Diablo]

la,

I've been lucky (losing ridiculous amounts at Hard Rock and having host make reservations probably helps, btw having an independent restaurant within a casino that they don't comp is the most ridiculous thing ever, but that's a whole different rant) with tables every time I've been at Nobu and gotten good tables that are not jam packed together, but I've definitely seen what you're talking about. I've always had more room at Nobu in Vegas than in New York. However, I suspect my opinion of my experiences there are somwhat colored by the fact that they are always in the midst of a drunken two or three day Hard Rock gambling frenzy. So Nobu, while in actuality quite loud, seems like an oasis of peace and tranquility in the middle of all that. I agree that the experience is probably not as great as my impression of it is.
