It's kind of sad that this is the new diner at the El Cortez. The old one had some great deals, like a $5 burger and beer special, which was made even better by a $5 dining coupon you got when you checked in (if you asked for the fun book). Brad B. said it was $6 when he was here a year ago, but the staff just told me it's now $8 and 11pm-6am only.
So I sit here with my $5 dining credit unable to eat for free anymore. I ordered a $9 roast beef sandwich, so $4 is the modified price. We'll see how it holds up. If it's anything like their burger was, I won't be impressed.
The layout of the place is definitely nicer than the old diner, but they aimed a bit high with the size, eh? This is El Cortez after all.
