I went to the NASCAR Cafe during a NASCAR race, figuring that would be the only time the place would really be interesting. Based on my experience, I'm probably right. It was a lot of fun to be in there with the race going on and the joint packed with other NASCAR fans. There was an emcee at the bar keeping the excitement level pretty high. The service was a little on the slow side, but that was okay. It just meant I got to watch more of the race. The food was fine. I'd compare it to what you can get at Applebees or Chili's. If you park at the Sahara garage, you have to walk all the way back to the front of the casino to get to the cafe. I don't think I'd come back unless it was to watch another NASCAR race with some of my racing fans.
