The hubby and I were on a quick, 4-night Vegas run when we discovered Ellis Island. Yeah, it's maybe not the best impression when you walk in the door: Uber-divey, with cigarette smoke laced with an vague, unpleasant, but (mercifully) unidentifiable stank. But trust me: stick around. Ellis is its own brewery, and you can get a REALLY good draft beer for dirt cheap. Play some blackjack. Play some slots. Watch the karaoke (or join in!), which ranges from horrific to Oh-my-God-this-person-should-have-his-own-variety-show fantastic. Then eat dinner (or, in our case, breakfast) in the joint's eatery: we got a NY strip and eggs for $5.99. And it was actually GOOD. Are you KIDDING ME?! Ellis Island is a MUST.
