Vegas Cheap Eats. Part 8. The Flamingo
Time for a Make Over
?
The Flamingo Hotel's coffee shop has been on my to-do list for this series for a while. "Old school," "Like the old Vegas coffee shops, and things like this is what I've been hearing about this restaurant that I haven't stepped foot into for many years. My sister must go there when she's in town, and she gives it mad ups. Most of the reviews online give it a decent shake, too.
Read on for review.
The Tropical Breeze has a late-night menu, which is to say they offer a smaller selection than they do during the rest of the day. The selections were limited. Nothing out of the ordinary here, just the run of the mill breakfasts and a few non-breakfast items to fill up the space on the flip side of the menu.
I ended up ordering a breakfast burrito, and coffee. While I was waiting for the food, this guy at the booth next to mine asked me, "How'd ya do tonight?" It took me a second to realize what he meant and I tardily replied "I don't really gamble that much." He gave me a puzzled look and said, "What, are you here with a convention or something?"
"Nah, I live here," I said.
"Oh," he said as he looked back down at his coffee. He said not one word to me after that. That was all good, because I really wasn't into chit-chatting, but it made me wonder if he stopped talking to me if I live here, or if I don't gamble. Usually, the types who just start talking to you like that are trying to talk as long as you let them. Strange. Maybe he was just interested in my luck. ? ?
The burrito arrived piping hot and it tasted pretty good. Eggs cheese and sausage. The sausage was cut up pieces of link sausage. I found that odd not only because it seemed like a 'home' move, but also because it's described as a 'steak' burrito on the menu. No biggie, like I said, it was pretty good. Although, I wonder what the deal is there.? The potatoes were good, too. They were cut in a large dice and seasoned well. I lingered and did some work on my lap for a bit, and stared at the keno board looking for my numbers, but they never came up. Hah! Just kidding, I don't have a personal set of numbers.
Pretty mediocre is where I stand in regards to The Tropical Breeze at The Flamingo. I wouldn't steer somebody away from the place, but I didn't get the experience I had anticipated. I know it's a roll of the dice when you're eating on the graveyard shift, but that's a sucky status quo. We accept a lot of bullshit like that though, don't you think?
After breakfast I walked around the pool area where they keep the live flamingos. It's nice out there. Waterfalls and all kinds of greenery around a scenic landscape. It was nice walking around there taking pictures. Check out the shots I got. lvfrankgv ONE LOVE > OUR LOVE
