| - What a world we live in! A coffee shop serving just about anything from a traditional American menu 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is just a short elevator ride away. Kady's is located inside the Riviera. If you're staying on the north side of The Strip, it might be a good place for breakfast.
I stopped by Kady's around 8:00 am on Sunday, and the place was pretty busy. Seriously, who is up at 8 am on a Sunday in Vegas except old ladies and degenerate gamblers? Well, add a screaming child, a lonely trucker and yours truly, and you will get a pretty good picture of what the clientele was like at Kady's at that particular time.
The place is very spacious, with tables and vinyl red and green booths far away from each other. If it weren't for the view of the pool and the keno runners, you would think that you were at a diner in Anytown, USA.
The waitress brought me coffee in a giant mug, which put me in a better mood right away. Give me a 12-16 oz. cup of coffee, and I'll leave you alone for a few minutes. I hate diners where they give you some cup that 7-year-old girls use to serve imaginary tea to their dolls. It's 8 am, I am awake and grumpy, so the more coffee you give me, the better.
I ordered a ham steak with scrambled eggs, hash browns and wheat toast with a short stack of pancakes. What? I was on vacation, give me a break. The ham steak deserves its own review. This may have been the best ham steak I have ever had! Juicy, perfectly cooked with just a hint of mesquite flavor. I can still taste it now! Do yourself a favor an order one of those. The hash browns were a bit oily, though. The short stack of pancakes is big enough to share with someone, since each pancake is the size of an average Barbie's Dream House (I bet you didn't think I could continue with the whole doll theme, but here we are).
It was a good breakfast, but $21+tip is a bit pricey. Times are tough, and every $25 breakfast makes me think that a good ol' Denny's Grand Slam might not be such a bad option . . .
