| - Mr. Lucky's is Las Vegas' answer to the 24 hour diner. The relaxed space comes complete with a long counter, loud open kitchen, and trashy waitresses...ours even wore a necklace that said "Cougar" in large script writing.
Hard Rock Hotel guests make the most of the space for their hangover breakfast woes, late night munchies, and room service deliveries. However, the food is good enough to warrant the trip from outsiders.
Of course my friend and I fell into the category of those seeking mid-afternoon hangover relief, so we joined the line waiting for a table at the casual American staple. We were starving, so when the host asked us if we would be willing to take the two remaining seats at the counter, we jumped at the chance. However, when we walked through the diner, we noticed several available tables. We had been duped into the counter seats, but we wound up enjoying the kitchen view so it all worked out in the end.
I appropriately ordered the "Rehab" Breakfast, which included
scrambled egg whites with mushrooms, sauteed spinach, sliced vine-ripened tomatoes, and my choice of toast or English muffin. My eggs were well-seasoned, and the balanced plate satisfied every inch of my weary palate. A delicious glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice was also included, which provided the necessary dose of sugar to energize for an afternoon at the pool. My friend's Smoked Atlantic Salmon plate included a crisply toasted bagel, red onions, capers, sliced tomatoes, and cream cheese. The salmon slices were perfectly smoked and salted.
Mr. Lucky's was a great option for affordable Vegas dining around the clock. The atmosphere was purely diner-centric, but the food surpassed expectations.
