| - The Hash House A Go Go has an interesting menu and has been on a travel channel show, but in my opinion, it is more fluff than substance and your typical example of "sounds better on paper." You get large portions at a premium price for your typical diner (aka Denny's style) food dressed up with a sprig of sage - it's not bad but you might feel a bit disappointed if you were expecting something awesome. Stay away from some of the gimmicky items, and you will have an experience similar to an IHOP.
As a person who usually orders waffles, I have to say this: order the pancakes. The waffles have a slight baking soda taste, and when you get the bacon cooked in the waffle, it makes the flavor more pronounced. Most people are too hung-over or impressed by the serving size to care. It took me 2 visits to come to the conclusion that decent pancakes trump weird waffles, and trust me, you don't want to order the bacon waffle unless you really like grease. Despite the yummy sounding menu, the best items to get are their "regular" dishes like an omelet or eggs and bacon. Their food tends to be bland, as if adding salt or ketchup is a requirement. The chicken is ok for the first couple of bites, but it's actually a bit too dry and bland to enjoy without dipping it in something. The omelets and pancakes were never bad during my visits.
The service is efficient and professional, though not particularly friendly. If this place is on your "Vegas to do List" then you should try to come during non-peak meal hours to avoid lines and a busy waitress.
I know The Hash House A Go Go tries to create a nice breakfast/diner experience but the inconsistent flavors makes it difficult to really like. If you're here to experience Vegas, then stick with some basic breakfast or menu items and you should be fine. It's not a bad place, but I think it is more hype than taste. There are cheaper and tastier places to have breakfast, but then again, Hash A Go Go does provide some very interesting menu options. You should go just to see how big some of these dishes are.
