| - Lured in by the large sign off the I-15 offering steak and lobster for $9.99, I took my wife, daughter and mother for a meal. My mother and me ordered the steak and lobster. I was of the opinion that the taste and value was on par (I basically got what I paid for). My mother said that the steak was so filled with grissle that it was like paying $9.99 for the lobster tail. The meal also had a small baked potato and green beans. The wife had a Ribeye for $6.99. She commented that "It was fine, but it wasn't like a Ribeye", meaning that it was a skinny cut, and (a strange complaint) it didn't have enough fat.
A brief comment about the ambiance of this restaurant...depending on the situation, it may leave something to be desired. Being a man, I rather enjoyed the silhouette of nude women, the decorations of the Las Vegas scene on the wall. They had several plasma TV's and a big screen TV with sports going, that was good too. Unfortunately, the restaurant was also a bar. The bar consisted of real loud homies that were either off work for the day, or taking a long lunch break. Anyway, they were talking as if they were still on a construction site, as if they had to talk over a jack hammer. 50 feet away, and I could hear everything they shouted to each other, with some of the language on the salty side. I didn't notice staff discouraging the shouting discussion. I paint this picture for the sake of other's who may decide to take family here. The environment may be a factor.
I don't know if this is a typical problem at this casino/restaurant, but my mother paid her own bill using a credit card, and tipped with cash. Coincidentally, when she returned home, she had some work to do on her checking account, and noticed on her internet account that the staff went ahead and added an additional tip to the money she left. She called about the discrepancy, and was told this type of thing happens all the time, and it would be self-corrected by Monday. Hmmmm. To be continued.
