| - Can't even go to a restaurant in Vegas without getting hit up to spend money on something in a sneaky way! After walking the strip and being practically assaulted by overly eager men trying to give me "free samples" and selling questionable beauty products, we made our way to Margaritaville in the Margaritaville casino. I really needed a break from the high-pressure salespeople everywhere.
Let me say that if I could give this place a 3 1/2, I would. I am torn between a 3 and a 4.
It was dead in there at lunchtime on a weekday so we got a table right away. A while later, a friendly lady comes around asking if we want our picture taken for "free". I know better--we do a lot of traveling, and usually when they are eager to take your picture it's not because they are trying to decorate their walls or because you just look so great that day! She sure seemed eager, taking shots of all of us, then just my husband and me, then the kids. Of course, a few minutes later she was back with our tiny free postcard picture, and the other three she took were for sale for $10 each. The pictures were actually really cute. My husband was on his 2nd or 3rd "perfect margarita". So of course he bought them! They were cute pictures but my opinion? How very tacky! We're in Vegas and we didn't win. We're spending enough on your food and drinks and you come around with talk of free pictures. It was really unnecessary. I can see it at a place like Graceland or Disney, something like that. But not at a restaurant in Vegas.
As for the atmosphere, I love all the Margaritavilles I've been to. This one is no exception. If you like Jimmy Buffett, palm trees, and all things tropical, you'll enjoy it.
Let's move on to the important part: the drinks. My husband loves those perfect margaritas! My personal favorite is the Bama Breeze. So yummy! It's kind of like an alcoholic creamsicle. How can you go wrong with THAT? (FYI "Bama" is short for Alabama, where Jimmy B. came from--I learned that in Orlando once after mispronouncing it!).
I had a burger and it was tasty. I believe it was called the "cheeseburger in paradise". I can't remember what hubby and the kids got, but they all seemed happy. The food in general is good at Margaritaville, all the locations I've been to.
So I would recommend this place. But get ready to "say cheese"! And remember: nothing is free in life or in Vegas.
