More breif Vegas notes

[HDPM]

the .75 hot dogs at gold coast and orleans are nothing to be ashamed of. Those are real vienna beef and are good. The buns and condiments aren't right, but htey are easily the best .75 meal around.

Foo foo joints? Look, I just love paying $8.50 for a sandwich and $3 for an 8-ounce soda in a plastic cup at "Snacks" in the Bellagio! Nothing wrong with handing the girl a $20 and getting $6 back.

$8.50? You cheapskate. . . I just paid 19.50$ for a corned beef and turkey sandwich at the Mirage. . .

At least you got the sandwich. I sat at a table in Carnagie's (sp) for twenty minutes waiting to order, then gave up and left. This is just part of the story but no exageration; I timed it with the stopwatch on my cell phone. I tried the take-out side a few days later (with a bad attitude) and left when they wouldn't let me order half of one.

LOL. Note that "Snacks" has a menu posted outside its door, a menu without any prices on it!

(I actually stayed at the Gold Coast this last trip and, I, well...........I, actually bought two hot dogs in the sports book for 75-cents each I'm so ashamed)

[/ QUOTE ]

I've walked through the sports book at the Gold Coast a hundred times, but have never seen any hot dogs--where do they hide them. I am a big fan of the Gold Coast Graveyard Special: 2 eggs, 3 links of sausage, hash browns and toast = $1.85. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Avail after 11PM.

Always willing to try something new spelling-wise...I'm not known for my conservative beleifs.

Most notable absence of that type of eatery is the Mirage Snack Bar, IMO. Used to be you could get a killer chicken sammie and miss one round of blinds. Now you have to order a gross sammie the size of your head at the fancy deli they put in and you miss way more than one round.

Downgrade.

Is there still the snack bar at the Mandalay, right next to the poker room in the sports book. That was probably the best location for the snack bar. Not the best room, but definitely the best location for the snack bar. You didn't even have to take your eyes off the table while you were ordering.
Yeah, the 16.00 meat football with cheese at the Carnegie just wasn't the same as the Chicken sanky. Plus it bubbled like Krakatoa in my stomach 20 minutes after we finished the thing.

....Poker rooms have staged a comeback, but another institution has not: the the casino cafe/lunch counter/snack bar.

I agree. The old Binion's had a sloppy deli near the poker room for years that served wonderfully rancid and unappetizing food. A few of the downtown casinos still have these gut bars for the steel stomached. Why not start a business by wheeling about a hotdog/sandwich cart through all the casino poker rooms? Probably make more doing that than by playing poker. And let that remark be a lesson to us all.

You are still alive. I assume this is good news to you?
