| - I was initially attracted to the "Barbie's Diner" interior, and noted that there were bottomless fries when cutting through the Flamingo, headed towards The Strip. After a few muderous hours spent pushing our way through throngs of parents, pygmies and porn-slappers trying to see the Lion Habitat at MGM Grand, there was no way in hell we wanted anything more to do with the strip. But we were HUNGRY. So after a tram ride back (highly recommended if you are filled with as much hate for basically everything as I am) to the Flamingo, we decided that we needed to eat. Now. So, somehow I convinced my BF to eat in the Hot Pink Nightmare, known as The Burger Joint.
I have to say, even thought the service was a teensy bit slow, and I spent $10 on two Bud Lights, the food was pretty scrumptious. They had a veggie burger for me to scarf that was actually made of pressed veggies, not a soy patty. Yum! The fries were really tasty, and I was so stuffed that I didn't even take advantage of the bottomless fries. This food was so satisfying that it kept me stuffed for the rest of the night.
Cons: pricey beers, kind of a long wait. One hostess/server/buslady/whatever the hell she was obviously had contempt for EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY.
Other than that, I was pleasantly surprised to find an affordable meal on the Strip that wasn't a buffet.
