| - We were staying at the Downtown Grand, and if you have a players card you get $3 Cheeseburgers at this place (normally it's a good $10+ more). Not sure if the $3 deal was a long standing special or just for the month of August...but of course we had to try it. Especially when you're just tired of walking around and you just want to eat in your own hotel.
The restaurant itself is cute, modern and clean. The regular prices are bit up there, but I see what they're trying to accomplish in this place. It's suppose to be a more upscale "bistro" type setting, but it really is kind of odd to me because its the Flagship (and ONLY) restaurant of the casino open at all hours. They really need a quick and cheaper options for food in the casino, IMO. They did add a $9.99 prime rib dinner which looked really good and huge. Which is smart to do because when in downtown LV, you cannot pretend to be a Bellagio and price your food that way, I don't care how new your casino is. You have to know who the clientele is. But on that note, the clientele at the Downtown grand were pretty much like me...we got money to spend but come on! Give me a $3 burger special! =)
At any rate. Service was really good, it's a nice sit down experience. The restaurant was not terribly busy at 7pm on Weds night. Our burgers were good (juicy, generous with all the fixings) and we ordered a side of tater tots and Cesar salad as well. All was good and tasty. I really liked my Cesar.
If you're staying at the hotel, this is a safe bet to try if you don't want to go anywhere else. Definitely get a players card so you can get the deals. Would I come out of my way to just eat here? Not sure I would as it's Vegas, there's so many other ways and places to spend your money but if I'm in the area, sure. I'd give them another go.
