| - We came to watch a UFC fight here while in Vegas the last time.
We had sadly already eaten dinner, not realizing that the fight started at 7:00pm PST (usually we're thinking 10:00pm EST and forgot about the time change). It was a Saturday night though, and we were interested in going to a bar, relaxing wtih some drinks and having a good time for several hours.
The waitress told us that to sit and watch the fight it was a $25pp minimum food spend. I explained that we just ate, and there was no way that we would eat $25 of food each, but could we order drinks and appetizers? We would definitely spend over $50 total. She spoke to the manager, who put her foot down and said - no, that we needed to spend $25pp on food, if not, we would just be charged the $25. (this after we had already started ordering)
This policy made no sense. As a restaurant/bar they make more money on the booze than food ($12 drink with $4 worth of alcohol)....Instead of saying $25pp food minimum spend, why not say $25pp minimum spend on anything - or a flat cover charge of $15? They would come out better overall doing either of those... Other bars that we've seen UFC events at charge a cover charge - and have a big room set aside for people watching the fight.
As a side note, people who said they were not watching the fight were still seated in areas where they could see it. I wonder if they were charged the same?
Anyways, so we ordered 2 dinner platters to go (since we would be charged anyways), and then ordered drinks. The mixed drinks were truly terrible. Lowest quality alcohol mixed with random sweet syrupy mess. One of my drinks so was strong that I couldn't even drink it. I had to go get more soda to water it down.
Service was extremely slow. At one point I choked on a tortilla chip and needed some water (we never received glasses of water) - so I had to walk all the way to the front of the restaurant to ask for some! (the restaurant is quite deep so this took some time!)
Waitress was completely absent. It was a very busy night for them, I'm sure, but management needs to have more people working the tables to make sure people are happy. We probably would have ordered more drinks if a waitress would've been there to ask if we wanted any! They advertise having great bartenders who do tricks and whatnot, but I never saw one - and the drinks I ordered were not made by competant bartenders.
Overall they just seemed completely disorganized in regards to handling a UFC event.
2 stars simply for the fact that we got a table near a tv screen, the food ended up being edible, and because it wasn't over $100 per person. "Meh I've had better" (2 stars) describes my feelings perfectly.
