| - I don't know what caused me to think of reviewing this place now. I joined Yelp several months ago, and dined here back in what must have been September 2007.
I guess that fact is I still remember this experience vividly.
Ever stay at the MGM and have to spend an entire night vomiting in / sitting on the toilet in your hotel room? Well, I have. And the only thing I had to eat that day? A hot dog and cheese fries from Nathan's at the MGM.
All food poisoning aside, the food still tasted like shit. I don't see how anyone has ever eaten one of those hot dogs and thought "this tastes good!". Those are probably the same people eating at a McDonald's every day, and the ones that build the hype machine around Nathan's annual 4th of July cattle call on Coney Island.
And the employees that worked here were FAR less than enthused about their career path. Out of the group of six people I was with, I was the only one to eat at Nathan's. The rest of the group, all five of them, got their food before me. I think it had something to do with the cheese sauce they put on my fries, which unbeknownst to me at the time, would likely be the cause of my food poisoning later. Anyway, if I worked here I would seriously contemplate self immolation or starting up a promising career in the drug game (Las Vegas is a great place for drugs, I hear).
I guess the one positive out of this is my friends get to tell the story of me running for a trash can in hotel room and vomiting into it in the hallway, as our bathroom was being occupied by a female at the time. That and I didn't vomit on my flight back to St. Louis the next day.
