| - Yelpers on Talkback know that I've been waiting for this day.
A tear nearly rolled down my cheek upon the news several months ago when I discovered that Vegas was getting a Steak 'n Shake. I had fond memories of the place when I first discovered in in Florida several years ago, and the burning jealousy that later formed once I moved from my home state of Texas only to find that, surprise! They put one in right after I left. I tell you, isn't that always the way?
Personal story aside, I waited and waited until lo, this day has come, and the Steak 'n Shake has landed in Vegas.
I went to the South Point Casino to get my "Tron Legacy" tickets when I saw the line. It was well around the corner. I just wanted food. I didn't need to sit at the restaurant. So I asked if I could do take out. They promptly sent me to the front of the line as I wasn't needing to wait for a table. The manager was there and he greeted me warmly. I guess he knew in his heart of hearts that this was a special day for us all.
I ordered two of the double steak burgers and some "Buffalo" style sliders. The prices were reasonable, all things considered, and the wait wasn't that long. When I got my bag, the server girl was all friendly and smiles.
So away I spirited my treasures like how Rumplestiltskin covets.... Well, whatever it is that Rumplestiltskin covets, I was like that, but holding onto my prize even tighter. As I was leaving, some woman pointed to my bag and said "Look! He has Steak 'n Shake!" This helped to further my feeling that I was the coolest kid in the casino.
Away I dashed home, eager to eat my steaky, shakey goodness, nibbling their fries all the way home. I can be a "fry snob", but these are tasty.
Then came eating time. It was like an angel descended from upon high and said onto me: "You've been a reasonable sort of late. Here's a hamburger for being so well behaved. A hamburger... MADE OF STEAK. Because you are awesome!!!" And so, I ate my angel laden steakburger, and was thusly full.
Is it truly that amazing? Honestly, I'd give it a four star experience, but the service was so helpful and friendly, I'm giving this place a five star experience. My enthusiasm for being there "Day 1", coupled with the wait made it a fun and tasty experience.
Tomorrow I go see "Tron". I'm also going back to Steak 'n Shake before the movie starts.
Could the day get any better?
