This is a Vegas staple for me. I love this place. Far enough of the strip that you loose the tourists, but still only a few minutes by cab or car. This somewhat dicey spot needs to buzz you in at the door. Once inside you find a handful of locals and unlv students.
The food is typical bar food. However the menu has a lot of options. The service is always polite and you can usually catch sports games or play some good music on the juke box.
This also becomes a last stop for many drunken locals after a hard night of partying. For those of you not from Vegas also remember that you CAN smoke inside.
