| - Omg - spend your money and time elsewhere.
My family came into town for a school event and had found pampas online as they were advertising a promotion for "prom" where large parties could dine for $25 a head. I didn't do the planning for this event so if I had I would have been a little skeptical of this amount, but that isn't the point because promotions like this should be easy for any customer to understand. My family booked a large party reservation and came from states away and wanted to eat at this restaurant as a celebration after the event. They were told after being seated that they only allowed high school students to take part in the promotion, so since everyone wasn't a high school student, they couldn't use it. Now I realize this seems like something you might hear and go, "oh, duh, prom for prom-attending students" but I would stop you and ask, did they state that it was only for high school students in the promo (answer: no) and i would also urge you to think of other season/time/holiday-related promotions of this nature - do Veterans Day sales only apply to military veterans? Do Christmas sales only apply to Christians? (Answer, again, to both is 'no'). All I'm saying is, put it in clear terms so you don't have people coming from far and disappointed upon arrival. The waiter did manage to get a military discount for the check since it seemed he wanted to do something to make up for this but it wasn't even close to what the promo would have been.
The second, and to me, most annoying thing about this restaurant is their water policy.
They place water bottles on the table without saying anything besides "water for your table", then afterwards come and tell you "I must tell you that we charge $1 per person for water in our restaurant, but it is bottled and filtered". First of all - you must tell people BEFORE. TELL PEOPLE BEFORE. Secondly, there was not another option as far as we could tell, so you literally could not get a glass of water unless you paid for it. Lastly, if I charged you for an unsealed bottle of water but told you - 'oh don't worry, it's filtered' - would you not wonder WHY IN THE WORLD AM I PAYING FOR TAP WATER SERVED IN A REPEATEDLY USED GLASS BOTTLE TRYING TO PASS AS BOTTLED WATER? Sorry, but as you can tell, I was not very pleased with this practice as I personally believe it's crooked and dirty.
Just avoid this place, as a local i can tell you there are great Brazilian steakhouses in Vegas and you might have to pay a little for a Lyft to get there if you're visiting from out of town, but it would be so much more worth your time and money.
