| - I have been going to Yolie's since the mid 90's - when tradeshow crowds dictated a 1+ hr wait. I haven't been there for several years - and was a bit concerned based on some of the recent reviews on Yelp. So I took my wife here this weekend for her first Yolie's experience. It was just as I remembered it!
The staff was VERY friendly - getting our Caipirinha orders out quickly, to accompany the bread and salsa that is served.
I knew better than to order anything OTHER than the special - all you can eat meat!
We feasted upon chicken, bacon wrapped turkey, sirloin, tri-tip, porl loin, sausage, and lamb. The waiter was bringing it as fast as we could eat it - and we were offered as much as we could possibly take.
I am still a bit puzzled as to how some folks say that they were denied meat? If anything, they could use the red/green cards used at many of the chain Brazilian places (all a copy of Yolie's!). We passed on several rounds of meat, but as soon as we asked for something, it was on our plate within seconds.
Granted, this is not a glitzy place that you go to for the ambience. But Yolie herself has always greets me, along with her very gregarious Italian head waiter (I never learned his name).
I will always choose Yolie's over any of the big hotel's or chains that are present in Vegas.
