Pinot's Palette — Attraction in Las Vegas

I went last night with my husband for the first time. It was just "meh" for me. The place is nice, and the instructor was personable, but went way too fast to be instructing mostly inexperienced people. You pay money for the class at least give time to produce something presentable. Of course it's not an art class, but you want to have time to at least work at it. Consider 2.5 or 3-hour instruction for each class. No real instruction on how to make colors blend for the gradient effect of the sky, and forget trying to make decent trees in 5 mins. We're trying to complete one task and she was two steps ahead, giving you 3-5 minutes to complete the two steps ahead that she was at. Then she'd go on to the next step while your still trying to start the other two steps with no clue because you were back on step 1 while she was saying what to do on the steps you hadn't gotten to. You're told to ask questions, but there's barely time rushing between steps. No time to really even stop and survey what you have in front of you. It was rushed the entire way. I'm not sure if it was because it was the last class of the day and they wanted to leave or what, but I didn't enjoy it. It was more stress inducing, and low-key chaotic, than relaxing. She said we'd have time to 'tweak' mess up's, but as soon as the final step was done, it was pretty much ok, that's it. Gather your stuff, dump your trash, and get out. We also had a guy who clearly didn't want to be there and was disruptive from the start. He scribbled like a toddler, was a distraction, made snide remarks, tried to act like a NY tough guy, sat with his back to the instructor, hit the guy next to him with his canvas (not purposely... yet, maybe?), and would've dumped paint in my husband's lap had my husband not caught the plate that flew from across the table. All this was going on while the instructor is moving ahead in the steps, apparently oblivious to this guy. Ladies, if your guy doesn't want to go, don't drag him there. You only ruin it for others who have paid to be there too. Ended up with a product that I threw in the trash as soon as I got home. I, personally, didn't enjoy the experience and won't...

I wish I could see who the instructors were for each class. Out of the 3 locations, Boca park has always been the biggest hit or miss. I waited today to see if the 6:30 class waitlist would open up. It didn’t. So I asked the teacher of the next class, an older man, if I could join. He said in a sour, uninterested, demeanor that it was “too much of an inconvenience to set up another station”. This class wasn’t until 7. I literally could have stepped outside and sign up for the class online, but honestly, I didn’t want to take his class at that point. I have take over 25 of these classes ( I am also a professional painter.) and I always spend plenty at the bar. But if this one teacher finds it to be too “inconvenient” to set up a station for me, I’ll take the $100 I would have spent there and use it somewhere else. Again, I wish I could see who the teachers are since they often make or break the classes and I NEVER want to take a class with a painting instructor who finds patronage and people just wanting to paint “inconvenient”. Feels like an instructor where if people had questions or needed more paint, he would just roll his eyes at you. Just as a side note, if he had said “it is policy and it is too late to sign up, that would have been fine. But I could have signed up online and he used the word...

I went to Pinots on June 27. I went to the bar and was given my change. Upon being handed my change I said wow that $10 bill looks weird the lady at the bar “the manager” Christina or Katie I can’t remember her name said yeah I had to check to see if it was real myself. That should have been a red flag there for me! I’ve gone to the grocery store, bank etc. and they said it’s fake. The manager at Pinots is refusing to give me my money! It’s sad because I really liked this place despite the bartender making rude comments about thanks for not tipping tonight! It’s also sad that she acts as if she doesn’t remember. She is a liar! I threatened to take the police up there but because I’m a teacher I can’t risk getting out of character over a person that lacks integrity and customer service skills. They will never get any of my business. Karma will deal with her for not being honest and taking my hard earned money knowing that $10 was fake!!!!!! Regardless of her giving me the fake money the owner in which she said she called should know that she is rude and lacks customer service skills and may be a thief since she is...
