| - The Stake-Out is probably one of the best bars in the UNLV area, and actually probably in Las Vegas as a whole.
The atmosphere of the place feels more like an older neighborhood bar as opposed to the bars one would usually find around the university area. It's really dark inside, and the walls are decorated with a mixture of sports paraphenila and old movie posters...classic rock is almost always blaring from the jukebox, unless a football game is on.
The staff is pretty helpful...and consists of a staff of blonde waitresses who were probably working there when the place opened however many years ago.
As for the food, it's not too bad. I personally only ever order the daily specials, which are usually pretty decent. Sunday is the best day to go, as they have the $5.49 All You Can Eat Spaghetti and Meatballs w/ Garlic Toast. Totally delicious!
The Cajun Chicken sandwich is also pretty good, as is the hamburger. I'd steer clear of the Chips and Salsa though, unless it's happy hour, because they really just taste like Tostitos Chips and Salsa.
Upstairs, there's a couple of mini pool tables that are only .50 a game that seem to be unpopulated most of the time. It can be a nice quiet hang-out if you're looking to get away from people on the second floor.
I also can't go without mentioning how awesome it is that there are machines in the bathroom that sell condoms and small pamphlets with different sexual position guides. Unfortunately, this isn't something seen too much anymore, and for some reason it's always a nice touch.
Overall, an awesome place. :D
