| - Don't eat here if you want to have a conversation with the party you are with.
Girls night out is always at Cabo Mexican Restaurant in the Santa Fe. We like to sit at the bar, have a drink or two, play some video poker and talk. On Wednesday, we sat down and immediately noticed the music was extremely loud, like it is in the casinos on the Strip or Fremont St. The manager was making the rounds and asked how we were. I said, we'd be a lot better if we could hear ourselves talking....what was with the LOUD music. She apologized and said it's a new policy from upper management. They want the music to be heard into the casino area to help entice customers. I then asked if it was possible to turn it down a little....it's a Wednesday night, "SENIOR CITIZEN" day and most of the customers are over 50, probably a little hard of hearing and really don't enjoy the music blasting over their conversations. We were told "management" would not allow it and do walk by and signal if the music isn't loud enough in the casino (which, by the way, has it's own piped in music going out there). I am hard of hearing and had a tough time hearing our bartender and a hard time hearing my friends. The manager said it was exceptionally loud there because the speakers face down toward the bar area, not OUT toward the casino. She said it was not as loud farther in the restaruant.
We asked to be seated at a table, as far back as we could get. It was still extremely loud and not a fun, relaxing dinner since we had to talk to loud to be heard.
Santa Fe Station is a LOCALS casino, catering to an older crowd. We are done with the loud music scene and when we are out for dinner, like to have a conversation without screaming. Cabo may want to re-think this whole loud music concept....going to lose a lot of older customers, which on a Wednesday night are the majority of customers.
As for the rest of the experience....GT is great behind the bar, servers were excellent, food was good.....music is what will make us find a new location to spend our time and money.
