Came here for lunch with my old buddy Adrienne. We were at a physical therapy convention in Mandalay Bay and only had an hour before our next talk so this was the most reasonably priced place we could find in the vicinity without resorting to the Pizza Hut at Excalibur. Still, a turkey sandwich here was 14 bucks. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What happened to the Vegas of yore, where prime rib dinners were 5 dollars and shrimp cocktail was 99 cents?? 14 bucks is OUTRAGEOUS!
I like to think of myself as a man of relatively high morals. I try to help out those in need, and believe in the virtues of honesty and self control. Thus it goes without saying that paying 14 dollars for a turkey sandwich goes against every moral fiber in my body. Thus I opted for the shrimp gumbo.
It turned out to be a good choice. At 9 dollars, this was a good portion for lunch (although it was actually an appetizer) and it was hot and tasty. It was served with a scoop of rice pilaf in the middle and surprisingly that meal held me over for the rest of the day. It had a nice kick to it too. They didn't hold back on the cayenne I believe.
So the food here is not bad. In fact I'd say based on the soup and from looking around at other meals, the food is pretty good. But it's still immoral, and morality trumps taste any day. Plus they have no beers on tap. SERIOUSLY??
