| - I've often passed by Twin Peaks during my annual trips to Las Vegas but never stopped in for a bite or a drink until this past January 2018.
I was meeting someone and we wanted to decide where to go. He mentioned he didn't want any place really fancy. We also wanted some place on the Strip. It was my first evening in Las Vegas and I normally stop by Shake Shack and In-N-Out at least once during any trip to Las Vegas so those were two of my suggestions along with FatBurger. He mentioned Twin Peaks and asked if I've ever been there. I mentioned that I've never been there BUT I was familiar with the type of place (Hooters type place) and was fine with it in terms of food options and location.
We met inside Planet Hollywood Casino and walked over to Twin Peaks. Upon entering, the place was relatively busy so if we wanted a table, we would have to wait. We decided to eat/drink at the bar. We walked around and found 2 bar stools so we sat down.
We were provided with a menu which I quickly looked at and decided what I wanted. One of the hostesses (but not the "main" hostess who served us for the remainder of the evening) asked us if we wanted something to drink. I opted for a large Coors. My friend had a beer as well but decided not to order a large since you told me that he would probably have problems finishing it. She asked us if we wanted a tab and my friend said yes so I also said yes. She asked us for a credit card. Since we were paying separately, we both gave our credit cards. When she returned less than 1 minute later, she gave us our credit cards and put a bill/paper into each of the glasses in front of us.
Our hostess (Nicole) then showed up and brought our beer. We asked if we could order the food now and she took our orders. I don't remember what my friend ordered but I decided to go with the fish and chips. After Nicole took our orders, my friend told me that service would probably be slow. Surprisingly, we didn't have to wait too long for our food orders.
I liked my fish and chips and decided to have another large Coors. The first thing I have to say about the beer is that it is ice cold. It is the coldest draft beer that I've ever had. I mean, there were ice crystals in the beer and even though it wasn't hot outside (after all, it was January in the evening), it really hit the spot. Nicole was very friendly and nice. She also dropped by during our meal and asked if everything was okay with our order.
The hostesses around the bar (including Nicole) were wearing bikinis, winter boots, and some type of fur hats. I'm not sure if this is the standard attire but based on the show "Undercover Boss", I was expecting the "lumberjack" motif/style.
After finishing, we decided to pay and leave. I decided to pay with cash whereas my friend decided to pay with his credit card that he had used with his tab. He asked Nicole if she needed his card again and she mentioned that it wasn't necessary.
I would have no problems returning here... although 2 days later after we ate at a burger place, my friend did ask me if I wanted to drop by here again for a drink and I mentioned no since I was full and wasn't feeling at 100% during my vacation.
