While staying at the Golden Nugget and consuming all of the gluttonous food and beverage that Fremont Street has to offer, my friend and I decided we needed a nice big salad for lunch. The restaurant is right next to the beautiful pool and the awesome shark tank & water slide. We were lucky enough to sit by the window and it felt like we were sitting on a patio on a perfect sunny day (which it was, but we were inside).
I decided on the Italian chopped salad and was very happy. The salad was great and I couldn't believe I ate the entire mound of chopped delicious ingredients. I did get the dressing on the side, so I'm not sure how much they would usually put on the salad.
We brought the boys back for the end of happy hour so we could check out the pizzas on special for $6 (happy hour is from 2-6). They were a great size for the price, thin crackery crust, and delicious toppings. The drink prices were not great on happy hour, but I've learned that is pretty consistent for The Golden Nugget. Then again, it would make sense seeing as how it is a step up from the rest of the hotels on Fremont.
The server for lunch was very nice, however the bartenders for happy hour seemed a little less than happy. I know it can get crazy in a small bar area with everyone wanting to order, but when your working for tips a small smile every now an again won't hurt. I promise your face won't crack!
Overall, I'm a fan of Grotto and will go back for delicious food anytime I'm on Fremont.
