| - Ah, Terrible's. It's probably my favorite low-roller joint in town. Breakfast here is always cheap, good, and entertaining.
First of all, you have the clientèle. Those trucker hats you see aren't worn by some hipster wannabe from LA clad in an Urban Outfitters "vintage" tee, it's worn by an actual trucker or a retiree dining with his wife. After a few days of the glitz of the Strip, it's refreshing to go hang out with people who aren't living above their means.
Secondly, the food is cheap and better than it has to be. Sign up for a player's card and a plate of pancakes, eggs, bacon, & sausage will set you back about $3, even if it's not the middle of the night.
Third, the service is friendly & efficient. They're working their butts off, so tip them well.
Last time I was in there I opted for the buffet side of the restaurant (which comes out of the same kitchen). You've got to love a place that takes a scoop of blueberry pie filling onto a pancake, rolls it up, and calls it a crepe with a straight face. I also got to hear the kitchen manager blow his top in the kitchen, reminding the help that he was in charge of this effing joint. Now if that's not a real Vegas experience, I don't know what is.
