| - I feed my big-time gambling addition ($20 max per night, oh maybe a rare $40) once a week at Red Rock. And most of those nights I have to feed me, too. Where else is quick and reasonably priced but the food court? Sometimes it's Rubio's, sometimes Capriotti's, and once in a while, it's Tropical Smoothie.
I've never ordered a smoothie in my life. Okay, call me un-American, I can take it. But I have ordered food on more than one occasion, though have never written a review until now. Each time I eat there, I'm always afraid the food isn't going to be fresh, because I almost never see anyone ordering ANYTHING there. I'm happy to report that it is, and that it's also very good.
This time I tried their new Chipotle Cranberry Turkey Club. I had them hold the bacon, because I'm that weirdo who actually looks at the nutritional info they have available, and figured I'd save a few calories. But I got everything else - the turkey, cheddar and spinach, which was deliciously raw. The cheese was toasted onto the bread. A chipotle cranberry sauce added a little bit of zip to the turkey, which hallelujah! was not overly salty. But it was the bread that made me a believer. This is multi-grain bread that they say is thinly sliced, but it was thick enough for me. It was lightly toasted - too lightly - but it was filled with all kinds of crunchy seeds that added a whole different dimension to the sandwich. I despise whole wheat bread, mainly because it's always too sweet - if I want cake, I'll eat cake. But this was not whole wheat. I LOVED IT! And guess what? I'm gonna have another one during this week's charitable donation staycation at Red Rock. Tropical Smoothie rocks!
