| - My girlfriend and I went in early September 2015 for (what else?) the $11.99 steak and lobster special.
You have to wait 30-40 minutes to be seated, but IMHO that's likely put in place by the Fremont St. casino that's no doubt subsidizing the cost of a dinner literally 1/2 the price of anything else on Tony Roma's menu: "Oh look, Gladys. It's gonna be 40 minutes before they seat us. What to do? Hmmm, these slot machines look like they might be fun..." At any rate, downtown Vegas at night has plenty to do and see while you're waiting.
We got back to the restaurant's lobby (located DEEP in the casino) near the appointed time, waited a few minutes, and were seated. The waiter was friendly enough, and the food was pretty good: yes, the veggies were obviously the prepackaged frozen kind you can buy at any grocery store and the unwrapped baked potato is served without even being cut open, but this is what you get for $11.99 for steak and lobster, and neither is a deal-killer. The steak itself was tasty (if smallish), and the lobster was très yummy!
If you're looking for a late dinner for a great price (our total bill was less than $40, including drinks and tip, for a meal that would have cost $100 or more anywhere else in Vegas), this special is hard to beat. We're definitely going again next time we're in town.
