| - Showing up late to connect with friends at MGM Grand I wanted to get a quick, healthy bite to eat. Well MGM makes that impossible. I showed up at 5 until ten and when I queried one of their many staff wondering around with seemingly a purpose to serve I was told curtly "well why'd you show up now, almost nothing is open anymore, it's almost 10 pm!" Well ok, I thought this was Vegas, you know where everything is 24 hours but apparently not decent food and so I found the Studio Cafe.
There seemed to be a number of hostess and waitresses but they seemed to revel in chit chat rather then helping seat patrons at this "late hour."
Me, I wasn't seated "ONE? O just go to the bar" So no booth for me! Though many were open. While I waited to be greeted I perused the menu. Familiar territory, the menu. As many restaurants in Vegas offer this: inflated prices for simple meals, very few of them healthy and almost no stated vegetarian options. I sat at the bar and ordered the breakfast burrito and got a contorted look from the bartender. "Um, I don't do that. Gloria will take your order. I can get you a drink though"
O for goodness sake! Can I just order? Don't make me hate not ordering room service at my hotel? Eventually Gloria hustles on over. She is, however, superfriendly and warm. Were this anywhere else I might think Gloria would go back in the kitchen and fix it up for me. I ordered the breakfast burrito to go with no of the fatty sides and no meat.
When the food came I was out the door and I must say the meal itself was very good for a simple egg omelet wrapped in a burrito. Well cooked eggs. So if you have the audacity to have meal past 10 pm in ye old Las Vegas know that there's a good omelet awaiting you after some hardship.
