| - Again a weekend in Las Vegas. Though, this time around, not so drunk. More broke, sober (hungover) than ever, the last night in Vegas was more spent walking around and people watching. We could have just eaten at McDonald's or Chipotle, but going by the simple rule of trying places I don't have locally, we walked past this place under the glass biosphere-dome of the Mirage.
Being more attracted to the "outdoorsy" feel then anything else about this place, we decide to charge up the card with this place. A "Dinner for 2" was offered, whereas for $45 a select menu listing of item could be had. We wanted to see more since the select item menu seemed very limited.
I stuck with the meat cause I hate fish and seafood. My date got the crab cakes. I got the beef you cook on a hot rock (The Rock) and some glazed hot wings.
If you're hungry, don't bother.
The portions are tiny. The beef slices I got were so thin. I swear I get more meat from a 99 cent pack of Carl Buddig ham. The hot wings were drummettes cut oddly, where the joint to the ankle of the drumstick was chopped off leaving you with oddly placed bone fragments perfect for slicing your mouth and throat. The crab cakes looked like stinky KFC biscuits.
The service, though, was outstanding. It had better be for the $70 we spent. (That's like 10 Chipotle Burritos!)
I am not really accustomed to over-paying for tiny meals, so take that into account. But what we got tasted good.
There is also a lounge area with drink specials, also under the glass dome. And, what we noticed later, a more-indoor, more-restaurant-feeling separate section of the place. 'Sides, that biodome section got really dark for dinner.
