| - Twenty or so bleached-blonde, surgically enhanced 'exotic dancers' parading past our table wasn't on the menu, but it did make waiting for our food slightly less painful...
We were first allured into this place since it was on the way to the restroom in between watching Greg lose more money at Let It Ride in Luxor. Minh spotted a sign that indicated a $4 menu and showed what was labeled as crispy mashed potato sticks, or something of that nature. Basically twinkie-sized tator tots with chives, bacon, and a spiral of sour cream on the outside of them - for $4, YESH PREAZE.
After a few more trips and a lot more free beers, we decided to check the place out for appetizers prior to waiting for the rest of the group to arrive in Vegas.
First, I ordered a cucumber salad (can't resist me some cucumber) which was $6 of disappointment. Probably a half of a cucumber sliced very thin (almost too thin to crunch) with sesame seed oil on top. That's all. It would have been fine for $3, but not $6.
Minh ordered the mashed potato sticks, I ordered the kobe sliders, and B ordered the "dirty fries" on recommendation from the hostess. Mashed potato sticks were basically what they were billed as, although none of us recalled tasting any bacon... The kobe sliders were actually very nice, I'll definitely use Hawaiian bread the next time I cook sliders too, butter lettuce was a nice touch too! But the best of all were the dirty fries - cajun spiced fries drizzled with muenster cheese and thick chunks of bacon - extremely tasty.
Was enough for us to hit the place back up at dinner with the larger group.
The only thing really out of the ordinary about the experience was the line of what must have been two dozen (we ASSUME) strippers with their dbag escorts at the tables behind us. They significantly slowed down the service to our table, but most of us didn't mind watching (sorry, Ann).
In the end, slightly overpriced and some slightly over-salted food, but there were a lot of nice flavors and the presentation was excellent. And come to think of it, we never did see that $4 menu...
