| - On our first trip to Vegas, my wife and I were excited about the food. Of course, there are plenty of high end places, but part of the mythology of Vegas is the proliferation of cheap buffets, and we wanted the full experience. Our hotel had an advertisement for Terrible's, and we thought, "A name like that must be satire. Terrible's would never be terrible."
Before I continue, I should tell you that we've eaten at our share of budget restaurants, so our expectations were not high. We have a pretty good sense of what you get for your money, and with the prices here, we weren't expecting Michelin star food.
Unfortunately, even at budget prices we overpaid. I honestly wouldn't pay a cent for the food we had. The easiest way to describe our experience is just to add "cigarette smoked" to any dish. At Terrible's, a scoop of mashed potatoes tasted like "Cigarette Smoked Mashed Potatoes." Garlic butter shrimp was "Cigarette Smokes Garlic Butter Shrimp." Caesar salad turned into... well, you get the picture.
Hopefully we just went there on a bad day. I don't have any ill will towards the restaurant. If they've cleaned things up since we visited, two thumbs up! But for the sake of future visitors (and for the sake of current management, who may decide to make some changes), I thought I'd put this review up. :)
