| - The stars are for the food - which was decent hotel-style grub, and reasonably priced - and the decor, which was surprisingly nice! (I was a little leery when I saw the ugly sign outside.) Great tikis done by the talented Tiki Diablo and the world-famous LeRoy Shmaltz of Oceanic Arts. Bosko masks here and there on the walls and in the (ladies) bathroom. If you are a "tiki purist" ignore the cheesy sign out front and just go in and check it out - it gets better, I promise.
I had the steak sandwich ($11), my husband had the Russian burger. We also ordered the spinach artichoke dip, which was too cheesy for my taste (I know, that sounds weird, but it's the only way I can describe it). The kid's menu is pretty good, and everything costs $1.99. Let me remind you, this is hotel food - nothing innovative or unique. But it did taste good.
The service... pretty much sucked. They have a lot to learn in the hospitality department. The hostess took forever (restaurant was not crowded) to seat people, while she was doing gawd-knows-what, and the server was rude and mostly nonexistent.
That said, I would probably give the place another chance on my way into or out of Vegas. You can get a pretty good meal here and enjoy the tiki atmosphere.
