I am astounded that after 137 reviews Ellis Island has an average of 4 stars......
Yes - they have $2.00 draft beers
Yes - they have a steak special .....
Yes - they have ribs .....
Yes - they have that old style vegas feel .... sort of
but then again .... many, many other locations in Las Vegas have similar specials, with a much better atmosphere.
Try Ellis Island:
If you like your clothes smelling like a cigarette factory .....
If you like derelicts sitting at the bar next to you ....
If you like service that is super slow ......
If you like bathrooms that look they were cleaned a month ago .....
If you like a security service that is totally useless .....
Is that the old vegas feel you want when you get away from the strip ??
Perhaps my feelings are clouded by the fact I got my wallet lost/stolen at the bar in Ellis Island a few years ago.
But then again, I guess that is the "Old Style Vegas" atmosphere.....
I thought I might be harsh on the "island" after my wallet experience, so I got talked into going once again.
Yes - $2.00 drafts
Yes - all of the prior experiences were present .... smoke, degenerates, filthy restrooms ......
Trust me - there are plenty of places you can go that offer the same as Ellis Island.
Then again - I guess you get that " quality experience" you pay for.
