| - I'm not exactly sure when this location first opened, but some co-workers and I recently headed over to check out the Denny's at Neonopolis. In reality, I'm not a big fan of Denny's, but thought it'd be fun and kitschy.
The Good
It is the nicest, cleanest Denny's that I have ever been in. They have a full bar, which seems interesting for a Denny's, but then again, it's on Fremont Street and that makes sense. I can't comment on the bar because we went for lunch during the work week. ('Nuff said.)
The restaurant has a photo booth that's Vegas-themed (NEAT); the kind where there's an outline for your head, you stand there, take the picture, and you'll come out with Elvis hair or whatnot. But the camera is kinda high, so if you're a scrimp like me (5' 1" or shorter), the camera is too high. Sadly, my head didn't reach the outline, and there was no stool or anything like that.
We all had the french toast special, which was cheap ($6-7) and decent (or at least the french toast was; the sausage . . . well, we won't talk about that). Our waitress told us that they're opening a wedding chapel (or already did), and there was a celebrity wedding already lined up for February. (At least we're already in Vegas for betting purposes.)
The Bad
My group was seated in a booth adjacent to another booth, with some artsy-geometric bars as a separator from the head-up. As we were paying the bill, another co-worker and I turned around in the booth, and noticed a dude's head literally peering over our shoulders through the bars. Apparently, he was looking to see if we were done with our food. Kinda caught us off guard a bit.
The Ugly
It's still Denny's food. Okay / decent, but not great by any means. The general group consensus was that Denny's is a place to end up.
Overall
So why the four stars? Location, location, location! It's Denny's on Fremont, so it's worth checking out for that reason alone. Also, this restaurant has an outside patio, which will be a fun spot to people watch in the summertime, and offers uncommon Denny's menu items like flatbread.
