| - It was a fun evening at the Grand Opening of Downtown Summerlin, but every food joint at the place was absolutely packed so we decided to wait it out until the light show was over to grab a bite. First of all, 2/3 of the permanent restaurants were still not open so choices were limited to begin with. By the time the show was over, most of the food trucks started to close so we decided to just head over to Red Rock Resort and grab a bite. We've always wanted to try the café for their daily deals, so that was our objective.
The $9.99 daily special was the bbq tri-tip, so we ordered one of those and the everyday special T-bone steak, also at $9.99. What we got was ample - meat with mashed potatoes and corn-on-the-cob, and T-bone with baked potato and steamed veggies - for a $10 meal. The taste was typical diner, sort of reminiscent of highway diners actually. Meats were not bad, not good, obviously not the best cut but just fine taste-wise. The sides were better - both potatoes were good, corn was a bit bland, and veggies looked like they came from frozen bags but still as good as any other steamed frozen veggie. And the bbq sauce was really good. Altogether not a bad $10 deal.
Our server was really nice, pretty speedy with what we requested but did forget to bring our forks on first request. Easy to forgive, since he always wore a smile and was always positive. Probably less then 3-stars for the food, but the service and generally relaxed atmosphere deserves rounding up. Not sure we'd go back for the food though, or maybe we'll try some non-meat dishes when we're hungry late-night.
Table-for-1 Factor: As with any casino cafes, if you can't eat alone here you can't eat alone anywhere.
