| - I am not a fan of wings (too many bones and it just LOOKS messy) nor am I a fan of $9.99 prime rib. But my man was really, really excited about both AND this place is open 24 hours. When you are coming in from an outing of gambling and drinking, you are going to want to eat.
We were staying at this hotel, so this was convenient. I think we got in about 1:30 a.m. and there was a hell of wait. But it turns out that the hostess was slammed with taking room service calls, ringing up bills, AND the occasional bussing of tables, so she was busting some serious ass in order to keep up. I do not blame her for the wait at all. When she did get to the parties that were waiting, we got seated right away.
The waitress took some time to get to us. Granted, she was busy too. I ordered a Newcastle to drink and she had to go out to the casino bar to get it, if that says anything. He ordered the plain wings (from midnight to 6:00 a.m., wings are $0.25 each, but you must order a minimum of 10) and the $9.99 prime rib. I ordered the club sandwich.
My sandwich was tasty and done well. The bacon was cooked through, the fries were seasoned a little. I have no complaints, except that you could tell that the turkey was from the packet of cheapest cold cuts you can buy.
But the prime rib and the wings was not a hit with my man. He hated them both. He said the wings were greasy and tasteless and the meat was horrible. Fatty, bad tasting...and this was all after a night of drinking when the taste buds are destroyed. I noticed that the meat was turning grey too. Blech.
It took forever to get the bill when we were done with dinner.
All in all, play it safe here and get some traditional greasy spoon fare. You should be fine. Don't fall for the specials. And while service was slow, I blame that on the management for not staffing enough people to work. All those who were working busted some serious tail.
