More, ($26) but one of the best Ive ever had and much cheaper than some of the other places on the strip.
Locals normally avoid the strip like the plage when they go out to eat, mostly cause of the high prices, They prefer a smaller local Casino where the service is better and the people are more of a working middle class, and down to earth and more friendly, and the gambling is normally better too, and you cant get lost in them like you can in a huge strip Casino, My favorite place for a really excellent steak was the Gold Coast Casino, its on West Flamingo road just a mile from the strip, walking distance!!!! right across the road from the Palms Casino, ----- so my favorite at the Gold Coast was a nice big Sirloin Steak, on menu just before I left Vegas was $8.95 it came with a baked (jacket) potato & Veggies, and a nice ice cold glass of draft beer of your choice, ----- I would tip the waiter $2 and so for $11 for the whole meal including the tip aint at all bad is it? There are lots of steaks on the menu, the Rib eye or new york was a couple of dollars more thats all, and always including the glass of beer :) And you will not find a better steak anywhere, always a good cut of steak, always lean and always cooked just how you like it!!!! and always so very tender and so tasty straight from the open fire grill, and the little walk back to the strip is nice too ;) And if you want the absolute best and biggest prime rib in town and you have your car with you ---- then you just have to drive a few miles to North Las Vegas to Jerry,s Nugget ----- inside the casino everyone heads straight to the Jerry,s famous coffee shop and a 10 ounce prime rib with a big baked potatoe and choice of french bread or garlic bread, also choice of soup or salad included in the price of $7.85 or if your really hungry pay a couple dollars more and you get a huge 16 ounce that feels the entire plate, they have to bring the baked potato sour cream & butter on a separate plate, Or if you prefer there Steak & shrimp special for $9.89 including choice of soup or salad, thats really great too, You will not find a better meal (anywhere) on the strip, or better tasting!!!! The service is fantastic and they have a huge selection of deserts & cakes & pies all baked on the premises along with all there bread, They have a very large menu with every kind of entre that you can imagin, and all the prices are so inexpensive, a couple can dine out at Jerry,s Nugget for $30 and have a wonderful meal for two that would include desert and wine, and the prices are still the same as when I last ate there in November 2010 just before I came home. Take care, Rodney. |

Really nice. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?sh...8c78ab7d935cee Cheers |

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
I have a favorite story about a Brit who came to Las Vegas to get married. She checked into one of the biggest and luxurious hotels. She unpacked her wedding dress and since they are long she looked for someplace to hang it. She saw what looked like a handy hook on the ceiling that looked perfect for the dress and she hung it there. Unknown to her this "hook" was the fire sprinkler system. Maybe after she left the room the sprinklers went off, but anyway the end result is she had to pay for all the water damage to the room and the room below her room plus pay for the loss of use of the room while it was repaired. I would be sick if that happened to me. I think they charged her $3000. A lot of strange things happen on wedding days.

Take care, Rodney. It came with a baked spud and veggies and a pint of rather decent British type beer from the in-house micro brewery. It's called Ellis Island on Koval Lane, a block south of The Strip. It's right next door to a large but dumpy Super 8 motel. Not the flashiest joint in town but great value and what I thought was a really decent pint. I usually go there when I have the misfortune to be in Vegas en route to wherever. |

It's been a couple of years I suppose since I was there so maybe it is no longer. A pity. It was great value. |

I usually go there when I have the misfortune to be in Vegas en route to wherever. There are so many real great places that all locals know of, Casinos with real character, and real friendly people and staff, with out of this world food at prices under $10 for just about everything on menu, Unfortunately most tourists dont know of these places, so they go to these real expensive Casinos on the South end of the strip, and pay 3 or 4 times more for exactly the same thing that tastes and looks no better then local Casino food, Just a little more lavish decor and surroundings, forget all that just give me great food at a great price!!!!! |
