| - Waht I'm about to write are not actually criticisms but observations. In a strange Vegas way, these things are the setting of a community environment to me.
When I first actually made plans to go in there, it was to talk to a potential roommate. She was a dispatch caller for one of those escort services. She asked me if it was okay if all the girls came around all hours for their "assignments." Some of you are shrieking in horror, but think about it. For a guy, this would be immense drama, but would there ever be a better source of Vegas stories in your life? In retrospect, I should have taken her offer instead of moving in with a "friend" who wound up stealing a lot of shit from me after being his maid for 2 years.
I went back a couple of times after and thought this was a hooker bar. I noticed a lot of platinum blonds with bling, but the kinda bling that doesn't mark affluence but a trip to the swap meet. They seemed to get called into "service" halfway thru their burger. One even brought an old guy in who hobbled in with a cane, looks like he was spending the last of his money for a final fling situation.
The food there- and most PT's in the chain- are excellent. I had my first really good Monte Cristo there, which is sad because they have since removed it from the menu, damn recession. It's basic burger/ sandwich stuff on the menu. they have specials and their deal is they have 3 sizes of "buckets" that are filled with fries, mini burgers, poppers, etc. As I write this, happy hour is from 4-7 every evening where drafts and pizzas are half off. There's another happy hour and I have to guess, since I can't find my weekly. It may be midnight to 4:00AM. Call ahead or google it.
Oh, another group of people I noticed that the bartender commented on was cross dressers. There's a group that meets there regularly. In all honesty, I only have 2 problems with cross dressers: 1) Why the hell would you ever decide to wear high heels? Those things are unbearable (someone had shows that actually fit me and tried it ONCE, just to feel. No, I didn't go out like that or anything). 2) more of a question, I don't understand why cross dressers wear feathered out hair and as a group look like a bunch of 40 year olds in the 80's. Their clothes, and look, the dresses and jeans aren't from any other decade.
The bartenders are cute and the cook hangs out. We shoot the shi7. I also love their grilled chicken plate there, taco salad. I'm real easy, I actually prefer "bar food" over any of the "4-5 star" celebrity chef places on the strip. I've paid a fortune to have a server be snide with me and felt like the food was too froo froo, no substance.
