Some people love the gimmick, some don't, hence all the negative reviews from people getting worked up about not having $10 burger quality in their $8 burger (probably about $4 burger quality). Oh yeah, they're cash only too, so keep that in mind before showing up with only plastic.
So, with that being said, if you buy into the gimmick, how can you not love the place? I'm a child of the 80's, so I grew up in the hair band and real hip hop era. This place has tv's scattered about all over the place playing mostly music videos from that era, from both genre's, so if you are in your 30's, you'll probably really enjoy yourself with the music selection.
If you don't care about that kind of music and just love to booze, this place is still great compared to the other options in and around downtown Vegas. Their shots are expensive, but their shots are 4 ounces, so compared to the 2.5 shots you'd have had to purchase elsewhere, you come out a bit ahead here. You can mix your shot with whatever mixer they have, including frozen drinks and several sodas, none of which are prefaced by the word "diet". The shot is delivered in a medicine bottle with a personalized prescription on it. I personally drink the frozen margaritas; the mango is really great. Gets me a little tipsy and then I go lose my money at the craps table.
Other drink options? Continuing the theme, they of course have five or six brands of malt liquor if you're "feeling ghetto"; these include Olde English 800, Colt 45, etc.; all in cans that come in brown paper bags of course.
They have a vending machine that sells unfiltered cigarettes, and candy cigarettes if you just want to pretend to destroy your lungs.
The servers, i.e. "nurses", will spank you if you don't finish your food, or they'll just spank you if you ask them to; it's a great challenge amongst a drunk group of guys as to who can withstand the most punishment. You'll see people from all walks of life in here to get a spanking so don't be surprised if you see something completely unexpected.
Now the food. Yes, if you weigh 350 pounds or more, you eat free. Their burgers are run of the mill; about what you'd get at a Waffle House late at night; i.e. you're not going to make a trip just to eat here. It's food though, so combined with the entertainment and booze, it gets the job done, just doesn't make you call your mama and tell her how great it is.
One last thing; if you're a bleeding heart liberal, you'll probably be offended by their receipts. Where the receipt would normally report "sales tax", the text has been replaced with "Obama's cut".
