| - I ate there twice during a recent vacation. I'm not going back.
First time I went I had the $5.99 steak and eggs. Not bad for the price, but the steak wasn't one I really wanted to eat again.
A couple of nights later I had the prime rib dinner, and added a simplistic salad for $1.29. The prime rib was OK, but you can get better downtown. The horseradish they gave me had too much kick. I think I was offered mild and spicy, or something like that. I didn't know there were different degrees of horseradish. I don't know if I got the "mild," but that's what I asked for. Too much kick! As for the meat... OK, but you're better off dining at the California if you want a good, cheap prime rib dinner. Much better for about the same money when you add in the cost of a salad to your dinner at Golden Grill.
Late night service for steak/eggs was good. Young dude was on his game, and got a nice tip.
The prime rib dinner service was weak. The woman was too busy bitching to her co-workers about some other co-worker. Fill my water glass when it sits there empty at the edge of the counter. Don't make me ask you to do your job. Your tip reflected the weak service.
Better options for cheap meals elsewhere, although I'm not under the impression you ever have to wait to get a table at the Golden Grill. That's the only positive thing I can say about it.
I had never been inside the Gold Spike before my last Vegas trip. I was quite surprised to see blackjack tables, as I didn't sense many people ever gamble there. I'm sure it gets action on weekends, but you have to wonder how that casino makes any money. I can't imagine the sexy dealers working weeknights are making much in tips.
