| - "Yeah, well I should be in Vegas eating at the shrimp buffet, so give it." - The Big Bang Theory: Season 6, Episode 23
My friends were staying in the Tropicana (and also getting married there), so we met for breakfast/brunch the morning the day before the wedding. The Beach Cafe was able to somewhat accommodate a medium sized group of us as a high top table on a Friday - a couple people ended up at a different table.
Our waitress, Stephanie, was quite lovely and took good care of us. We could opt for the buffet for $21 with add-ons for additional money, or just order a la carte from the breakfast menu. The items I wanted were neither on the buffet or on the add-on menu, so I went for a la carte and ended up spending about $27 - typical for a good breakfast in Vegas.
I had Corned Beef Hash with a poached egg and rye toast and a biscuit and sausage gravy on the side. I also ordered coffee and OJ. The food was pretty good - the egg was perfectly poached and the hash was good - the potatoes were undercooked, however. The hash was a half a step up from the canned stuff, but it was still tasty. Now the biscuit and gravy was quite tasti-licious.
The coffee was not horrible, it was drinkable, but no raw sugar on the table. Always disappointing in this day and age and the OJ was the right level of pulpy. For $27 I was not disappointed, but I was no blown away. I have had worse breakfasts, for sure. But this is no Wicked Spoon or Hash House A Go Go.
