There are some restaurants in Vegas that flash tourist trap, tourist trap, and yes we fell into this one. WIth a coupon for $5 off from our hotel, we had our first meal in Vegas at the famous Margarittaville. It's not the same as going to the one in Jamaica where you are in a hot locale and it seems like the right place to hear Margarittaville but the menu seemed the same. You walk in and you are likely to see large screens with either music videos, or recordings of Jimmy singing in different venues. It's a bit loud but that is to be expected. You'll probably see one of 3 people on stilts walking around. I'm not really sure their purpose besides being available for picture taking and the occasional dance to a song.
I decided on the fish tacos; two tacos with lettuce, grilled fish, and sour cream, served with chips and salsa for $15.99. The fish could have used a little more flavour but overall they were pretty tasty. My husband ordered steak and I asked him to add the coconut shrimp for an extra $6 so I can try it. Three shrimp with a tangy sauce accompanied his meal and they were good but I was glad it wasn't my meal as it would have been too much shrimp and sauce.
I don't think this place needs to be visited more than once during a stay in Vegas and once every few years is probably enough considering all the great places to eat. But this time, I wasn't disappointed and our server was friendly and provided great service.
