| - We stayed here for the night for the wife's Birthday. Which is decent place to stay. It wouldn't be my first choice, if I was ever to have a stay-cation but it is a nice place. It has a nice look on the outside, as well as inside.
Located off the freeway and Sahara, Palace station is one of many Station Casinos surrounding Las Vegas. Upon arriving, it was a bit confusing cause we weren't sure where the garage was or if they had one. But we did find it in the back after a confusing way to get there.
Upon check in, it wasn't busy as I thought it would be at 3pm. Then again it was on a weekday, so it wasn't as busy. We did get a petite suite, which was kind of nice, till we walked around. It was roomy, and the color scheme seems nice. I did like the window view, which goes out a little like a half cylinder. What I didn't like was the the desk and Internet connection was no where near each other. The Internet connection is on one side of the room, next to the big TV, but the desk is on the opposite side. Unfortunately the connection and wire length of both Internet and my computer isn't long enough to make it to the desk. In other words, we used our bed as the laptops platform. Other than that, I did like the bed and the petite suite was roomy. A decent place to stay in.
After settling in our room, we decided to go to Broilers steak house. I have a thing for steaks, and we have been here before. First time around seems good, but this time around, wasn't as satisfying as the first. I notice they did change a little bit but still same menu. As usual, I had my prawns. They were very good to start with. The fillet Mignon was a bit unsatisfactory. Even though I did order it medium, it was a more on the red side. I still ate it, but wasn't as happy as the first.
We did go gambling, and I prefer craps to gamble. The dealers were not as social or entertaining at first. But once you start betting for them, they come alive and become more sociable. As for me, I'm more of a person who feels comfortable to go on a craps table. But having dealers not interacting as much on craps, seems a bit intimidating to try it. But after a while, they come around in a way. Even though I did lose my money, it was kind of fun in the end.
After a goodnight sleep, we went to Grand Cafe for breakfast. Even though the waitress was friendly, wasn't really happy with the fact of her assumption, that the wife is speaking for the both of us. The wife wanted coffee so the waitress assume that I wanted coffee and poured me a cup. I'm not a coffee person, cause I'm lactose intolerant so I can't have dairy or cream in my system. But drank it anyways. since its already poured and didn't want to let it waste. I was able to order a breakfast skillet, which was decent. Even though, I know it was morning, and it wasn't as busy. So I wasn't sure why the waitress was taking her time in the back, when waiting for a refill
Overall, Palace station is a decent place to lay your head. Gambling wise, don't expect much when it comes to interacting. Not unless you do something first. Food wise, it was decent and edible. Grand Cafe has its ups and downs, but an "OK" rating.
