| - I rarely hit up the Nugget, but not blind to the fact that it's probably the best hotel casino north of the strip.
My visit with a homie was due to a small wedding reception dinner at a nearby chapel. Can you say elope? Congrats to the love birds Moses and Bree! Unfortunately, we missed the wedding reception by more than an hour, but made it for the dinner...you could say that we was behaving like we was really related to the bride and groom, lol. So I played the role of that uncle that just comes through something on everything, and when everything is all "ate" and done, it's deuces! J/k...
At first glance, I thought this was just your average casino diner filed with transient d-bags, bit not at all the case. A look at the menu, and a brief Yelp review, quickly changed my mind. The use of space is efficient and doors a good job with separating the restaurant from the casino floor. A view of the pool and shark tank was a pleasant surprise as well.
My buddy and I opted to split the chicken herb pizza since it was a small informal dinner with the bride and grooms closest associates. There is also a full bar and local brewery beer selection. That alone can make this man happy. The pizza was astounding, anything with goat cheese is a major plus for me, bit the overall pizza was scrumptious nonetheless.
Although, our late arrival prevented me from peeping out everyone else's offers. I love marveling over others' orders to plan my next attack, lol. I did see some oversized meatballs and pasta specialties, enough to know there are some good stuff on the menu. A return trip is in order the next time I'm downtown.
I would have to give this experience an overall 3.5, making it a 4-star review. The pizza was superb and the drinks were flowing with attentive service. Exceeding my expectations definitely played a part in the rating. Mazal Tov!
