I purchased "tickets" for their New Year Eve party...what a huge mistake that was.  It was overpacked, not fun and you had to wait in a freaking line that took hours to get into the place...what's the point of tickets if you have to wait in line?  Apparently if you buy tickets on the spot, you can get right in.  But if you buy tickets in advance you have to stand in a very long line so "ONE" person can check your ID.  Only ONE person was checking ID's!  Anyway, I would suggest staying clear away from this place as there are so many other great places to go in Vegas for New Years.  Unfortunately, I was given some bad advice about going to this place.

Came here pretty late on a Saturday night looking to grab a few drinks with my hubby.  I was drawn to the huge screens above the bar where you see different vibrant colors just fixing your imagination while at the same time there are girls dancing in front of the screens.I didn't think very much of the go-go dancers because they didn't look very appealing to me.  If anything, most of the guys who showed up already had a lady with them so I would assume that this isn't a place to go if you want to meet girls lol. We both ordered long islands and since they were made pretty stiff, I guess it was worth the money since having 3 in a row and 1 to go put me out that night lol. For those who have yet to visit this place, let me just say that you aren't missing a thing.

can i tell you how awesome the berry mojito's are?!  fresh mint and raspberry, and good sized glass...  i cant get enough!!as for the rest of the food, wasnt bad, wasnt spectacular.  but 5 stars for the mojito's!

by Courtney E.

The Mini Corn Dogs are so good!! I had the Salmon with Risotto....it was pretty good. $4 baby iced teas though....and no free refills, so another $4 if you want another....that sucked. Took some photos of the girls for my brother back home, he was thankful lol. Try the David Burke Cheesecake Lollipops.....amazing!!!!

On our usual trips to Vegas... we noticed a new (at the time) restaurant at Planet Hollywood with girls swimming in hot tubs in the patio area. Excited about this new restaurant that we cam across, I mentioned to my friends that we should have lunch here after the AVN convention. Hungry as we were, we asked our waitress if the large sampler appetizer was fulfilling and worth the price ($65.00 each). We also told her that we were extremely hungry and the guys that we were with can eat a whole LOT! She told use with a smile that ordering two appetizers would fulfill our hunger. After receiving the appetizer... I thought to myself, this snide just lied to use cause the food on the platter was presented nice but the quantity minimal. After receiving the bill of $300, my significant other and I decided to pay for the $300 appetizer because we felt bad that we took our friends here and the food was so "ehh". The service was ok, she came back a few times to refill our drinks and was always smiling. BUT the food quality and quantity was horrible; I give them an A for presentation, a B for service, an F for FOOD quality and quantity.

by Chris L.

Even with a coupon, the drinks are overpriced ($13 girly drinks, $10 for Jack Coke)...however, there's something to be said about killing an hour or two on a patio, drinking Jack Cokes, watching the freaks parade down the strip.

My friend got a 2 for 1 entree coupon walking down the street and we happened to stumble upon this place.  It is located in the Miracle Mile Shops.   The decor was were modern and chic!  It actually looks like it would have a dress code but it does not.  It is actually upscale looking but very casual environment.  The waitresses rock the skimpiest bikini tops and sarongs without and exposed booty cheek.  All of the waitresses have the bodies to wear it!  Our waitress was training another HTZ girl and the service was excellent.  The drinks we ordered we soooooooo good.  Too bad I forgot what it was.  It was one of the best drinks I've had in a long time.  I ordered the chicken over mashed potatoes with seasonal veggies and my friend ordered the salmon. (pictures are located in the gallery) BOTH ENTREES WERE SUPERB!  OUTSTANDING!  OFF THE DAMN CHAIN!  I WAS SO SURPRISED! This place is such a hidden gem!  MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT 18 PERCENT GRATUITY WAS AUTOMATICALLY ADDED!  However, every thing else was soo damn good, I got over it real fast!    There was a bachelor party there and one of them fell, and we all fell out laughing!  Great Service, FANTASTIC FOOD, good drinks...kinda pricey...worth every penny!  This place is a gem!!!  LOVED EVERY FRIGGIN' SECOND!I will be going back again!

by Rob P.

Nothing fantastic, but a decent spot to grab a drink, sit on the patio, and watch the tourists walk by.  They always have go-go dancers inside the club if that's your style.  One time they had four models hanging out in binikis in a hot tub outside.  Wacky!Went back again recently and realized it's nice to see a club that doesn't think it's cooler than it is... that is, they don't charge cover at midnight on a Saturday night, and that is very appreciated in this town.  Drinks are kinda pricey but the vibe is decent and most of the people there were pretty cool to chat with.  A lot of lurker dudes, though.

It is what it is. No, its not very Hawaiian when it comes to decor or food, but don't forget that "Hawaiian Tropic" is a product. Tanning products mostly and it's best known for its pageants, not for it's food. So i congratulate them on trying something as adventurous as a restaurant... So with that in mind, here is my review.If you want a nice dinner go to Morton's or Ruth Chris. If you want to have a few drinks and appetizers and look at pretty girls while people watching on the strip, this is your place.  I had the crab cakes and Hibachi sticks and they were both fairly descent. Not the best, but not the worst either.This place has eye candy and the waitresses you think you saw were probably the hostess. They all wear the same outfits.  So I think that may be it, i also wondered what they heck they were standing around for... then i found out they were all hostesses. There was 4 of them.My waitress was Michelle and she expressed to us that this is her first time being a server so I understand that at times they may make some mistakes. But she was super friendly and took great care of us. The girls were pretty and cute to look at but I agree on the go go dancers, they weren't all that special and even looked bored at times.  I was looking at them like seriously? Go to bed already.They had open bar for the ladies from 10pm to 12pm on a Friday, how can you beat that? And the DJ was great, lots of Northern California rap (mac Dre, e-40) which I love.  They had comfy little couches and a fire pit. I like that.They have nightly bikini contest which is quite entertaining. You get to vote so it makes it fun.  I went there and had a great time and I would go back. By the other reviews it seems like it can be a hit or miss. I know this is a new place so I hope they get the kinks out and make it through. Overall a fun place to stop by and get the party started. OH! and they have a webcam you can go online and see how busy/not busy they are before you visit....

A Friend of mine really wanted to come here for dinner so a group of us (guys and girls) decided what the heck.  This place is an awesome sports bar/restaurant as big flat screen TVs were everywhere.  The girls here were no Hawaiian Tropic models, but they weren't bad looking either.  One of them had stuck up attitude and that is a big minus in my book.Now to the food.  The prices were not too bad, but we didn't know what to expect. I had the Crackling Pork Shank.  It was effin HUGE! I don't care what others may have said, but it was good.  If your Asian, Filipino, Pacific Islander..whatever, you'll like this.  We ordered other dishes which were all good, but this one stood out for me.

by Marlon O.

Service was good and the food is what you would expect. This place is like a cleaner more up beat hooters w/ better looking women. This place is good but nothing to rant or rave about.Outside eating smack dab on the strip is a plus and so is the outdoor jacuzzi.Located in the remodeled Planet Hollywood formerly Alladin.

by Justin S.

Vegas is largely built on the simple fact that sex sells.  With that premise, Hawaiian Tropic Zone tries to tap into the restaurant scene by offering up hearty American fare in a hip, posh space served up to you by bikini-clad waitresses.  Pretty smart business model...but unfortunately their execution was less-than-perfect.The restaurant decor succeeds in going for that posh lounge feel...but there is no Hawaiian feel to the place at all.  Food is standard American fare.  Not bad but far from great.  Most waitresses are like washed-up Vegas showgirls.  We would have actually preferred that some of them NOT be in bikinis.Overall, HTZ is not really a go-to place for a memorable dining experience.  It's a more upscale alternative for the Hooters crowd...and that's about it.

by Domenic F.

Went here 6/1 with my wife and a friend of mine. This place was pretty good for lunch. The prices were high, which prevents the fifth star. I had a very nice burger with bacon and guacamole and it was huge. Wife also has a burger and my friend had the chicken sub which was great. The fries were excellent. The atmosphere here was great, large TV's and a nice trendy room. There were girls which i guess is the main draw. Hooters this place is not, the women here actually look nice instead of the trash at a hooters and are nice eye candy which helps you relax :) I would recommend this place for all, plenty of rooms, lots of women and a great food. IF they would just lower the menu price say 10% or so, there would be no need for half off coupons.

by Amber B.

This place was a 'last minute decision' for our dinner reservation and it was the BEST CHOICE EVER!!This dark yet energetic little restaurant/bar is a real treat and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy and very very filling dinner experience.Go hungry! Thats all I can say.My husband got the 'Crackling Pork Shank' and it was the funniest thing I have ever seen for about $20+.The waiter came out with a huge skillet and put it infront of hubby. It was filled with fried rice (the best damn fried rice Ive ever had..I think it must have had crack it in!) with a massive mofo shank sitting on top. This shank must have weighed at least 8-10lb. He still wishes he'd taken the rest up to the hotel in a doggy bag to eat in bed (I said a firm 'NO' to him having bed shank)The waitstaff girls here are really nice, and while all of the little skinny chicks in bikinis is a little intimidating to a more 'well rounded' girl like me, they were all adorable and really added to the great experience here.Note of advice - if you're thinking of Trader Vic's instead. DONT. That place is a shytehole. Read the reviews first and come to HTZ instead.

by Darla M.

The food selection was minimal.There was some weird solo performance guy, he was pleasantly polite though.The girls do fit in with the skantly attire of las vegasUpside: We got to taste a new drink for freeCalamari fries, were too flaky, dry and just not tastySalad was bland, they only have creamy dressings ???My boyfriend said their burger was actually good.Not recommended.

by Aj A.

we came here on a holiday and the guy gave me stacks of buy 1 get 1 free drink specials so buzzing wasnt a problem for everyone however things started to get crazy once the all you can indulge hookah towers were getting started. we had atleast 6 refills of hookah for 50 bucks  for the whole night. the crowd was alright.. not as great as i would want it to be but you cant be picky.

by Blair B.

I had a coupon and the fiance and I had always been curious about this place. *note to self.. when in doubt, stay off the strip.. ugh*The good: Food was decent. We tried the chicken lollipops (just fried chicken basically) and the pork shank (pork was overcooked).Atmosphere was pretty cool (we ate on the patio), and they had a guy playing guitar that was really good. The bad: Waitress was rude and honestly wasn't even that hot. Fiance wasn't impressed with the chicks that worked here... they were all butterfaces if you know what I mean. Mb if they wore masks they'd be ok. Drinks were AWFUL. At $13 I'd expect better.. but man these were some of the worst drinks I've ever had on the strip. The mojito had flipping sprite in it and was super sweet and sugary. A mojtio should NEVER have sprite. I tried another drink that sucked as well.. a lemonade of some kind?I would choose Trader Vic's over this place in a heartbeat. Better drinks, better food, and the atmosphere is similar.. ok mb you don't get the ugly stuck up waitresses at Trader Vic's, but I'm fine with that.

by Bertilla M.

It's better than Hooters.Reason #1: The uniforms are bikinis and mini-sarongs.Reason #2: The menu has more than wings and beers.Reason #3: Walls of high def TVs.Reason #4: Very classy interior decor.Reason #5: See Reason #1 again.All the girls have nice bodies.  The quality and price of the food is on par with most other themed restaurant.

by Jeannette Z.

Ok- so I just spent 2 days in Vegas COMPLETELY SOBER.Why??? you ask...well, for the first time in my life I had a child with me. I know. I know. I am crazy for taking a kid to Vegas- but honestly, the whole gang had a blast. Even though Abbie thought the "O" show was the highlight of the trip, my boyfriend would argue that eating at this restaurant was the highlight for him.We were walking around Planet Hollywood and stumbled across this establishment and my goodness, even I had to stop and stare for a moment [ok, maybe I did about 55 mins of total staring, but who cares]. Beautiful women in little bikinis with some of the most amazing bodies....c'mon...that's pretty damn good entertainment (and a happy boyfriend  = a happy girlfriend, so I can't complain). Granted, life is much better at the Rhino, but I'm not about to take a 10 year old there (side note, I doubt I could order a "Shirley Temple with 2 extra cherries" ...)Anyhooters- food was awesome. I had the crispy chicken lollipops the mini corn dogs - yummy! I also ordered a side salad and I finally came to the conclusion that you just can't get a decent salad in Vegas (I stopped trying after eating here). Drinks were perfect. Service was excellent....and we even got to vote in a bikini pageant. Our waitress "Number 6" got 4 votes from our table for her "charm personality".

As happens to everyone at least once in Vegas, we got lured into this restaurant by an employee hawking coupons good for free drinks and 2-for-1 entrees. We were starving and having trouble deciding on a dinner spot, so we figured, What the hell.I HAD actually heard of the executive chef or whatever he's called (he's not actually the chef at the restaurant but he designed the menu or something? what word am I looking for? ugh. anyway), which raised my expectations just a bit higher than they initially were after seeing the NAME of the restaurant itself. I think they should change it to something less lame. But that's beside the point.So what is the point, you ask? Well, our first round of drinks at the bar was full price and that was SUPER expensive and not worth it for the quality/amount. However, Jess drank for free the rest of the night by using the coupons for "pink vodka" drinks, which she said were not bad. Apparently the bartenders couldn't agree on whether it was pink vodka or pink something-else, but it tasted good. My next point deserves its own paragraph. Being completely famished, we ordered an appetizer. Mini corn dogs for $11. Wait, ELEVEN DOLLARS? For MINI CORN DOGS? Well they'd better be awesome -- and they were. BUT. There were only FIVE of them! That's not even enough mini corn dogs to make one FULL SIZE corn dog. For $11?!?!?! I was appalled. Even though they DID also come with french fries.Since our entrees were 2-for-1, I splurged and got the filet mignon. Jess got fajitas. Not only was I starving, but I was also drunk by the time my filet arrived, so you're darn right if you think I ate literally every speck of food that appeared on my plate. I don't know if I was just hungry, just drunk, or if the filet was actually good. Maybe some combination of the 3. Oh, and the potato cake it came atop was pretty friggin incredible. Jess claimed to love her fajitas as well, although later on she said the chicken was dry. So maybe she was just hungry too? I don't know. That'll teach us to eat whilst drunk. Makes for a super-helpful review later!Bottom line, we ended up paying a little more than $60 total for our meal (they included the tip for some reason although the menu did NOT warn us they would be doing that), but it would have been a lot higher if we had paid for the 2nd entree and the drinks. So, while it was a pretty decent experience, I probably wouldn't come back here if I had to pay full price.

by Michael U.

My buddy wanted a beer and some eye candy.  I wanted some water and Sportscenter.  This place fit the bill for both.What it didn't fit the bill for?  Service, friendliness, and decor.Tacky, lame, and stuck up waitresses that were no more attractive than the waitresses anywhere else.....thanks but no thanks.  There are better sports bars in almost every American city and I don't give a damn if your servers are in bikinis or not, bad service is bad service.

by Riza A.

Our check had a party of 9 on it.  With coupons for buy one entree get one free.  So you would think that  would mean 4 or 5 meals are free, right?  Ok, can someone please explain why 4 meals would come out to damn near $400???? Umm yeah, that basically just killed the whole experience for me right there.  That salmon and risotto dish was pretty good, but I'm sorry, not for 90 bucks a couple with no drinks.  Thanks.

by Bryan F.

So 3 of us walking down the strip after a bunch of drinking and gambling, looking for something to eat, wandering past Planet Hollywood Casino, we see some guy handing out some papers.  No not the ones with the naked girls with stars over their nipples.  He's handing out 2 for 1 entree coupons and free drink coupons for this Hawaiian Tropics Place, right above us.  So we figure why not.   Right away when you get there, you notice one thing immediately.  The hostesses are hot and wear next to nothing.  Seriously.  So one of them seats us outside on the strip, they have indoors seeting but there was a wait, and we were hungry.   Sitting outside is cool.  The ginormous city center hotel that they're building is cool to look at plus there are the random freaks walking up and down the strip.  So the waitress arrives, not hot and not wearing the skimpy clothes, damn.  She says we can either use the entree or drink coupons so we decide to go with the entrees.  She says well since theres 3 of you, you can only we use one coupon.  So I ask well can't we just get an extra entree.  She gives us a frown and says ok.  I mean seriously, we're paying for the 3rd entree, might as well get the 4th one free to share.  Heck even if we just wanted to give it away to the guy who gave us the coupons or our friends who hand out the naked chick cards.  Cuz seriously they work hard for their money.  So we get a steak, ahi tuna, freerange chicken, and then get fajitas as our 4th.  No we did not the fajitas to give out to the guys on the strip.  It just seemed easiest to share.  So far so good.She asks if we want anything to drink and after hearing the beer choices we get Blue Moon.  Few minutes later she tells us they're all out so we get Stella and Coors Light.  Oh well.  The beer shows up and they are little 8 ounce plastic party cups.  I'm not making this up.  A place that has entrees for well over 20 dollars and these are the beers we get.  Luckily the food arrives and it was definitely good.  Everyone liked what they got.  My tuna and the fajitas were awesome.  And we have random hot hostesses seating people around us.  Still buzzed.  It was a ton of fun.Then the bill arrives and we see our little party cup beers are 8 dollars each.  Seriously.  It also says blue moons on the receipt but the waitress tells us that all the beer costs the same.  Terrific.  So it ends up being 40 a person after all is said and done.  By Vegas standards 40 isnt outrageous, since we are eating on the strip, but the whole beer thing left a bad taste in my mouth.  At least the hostesses are hot and wear next to nothing.

grat chees fries. And hot girls in bikinies. Whats not right with this picture???Oh yea and a hot tub...

by Ashley H.

1 one get 1 free drinkssold!i was going to order a berry mojito but lisa the server said it wasnt that good. good looking out. the girls wear bikinis and sarongs and thats it. the nachos were huge enough for 4 girls so split plates. they only give u ranch or bleu cheese... but not both. it would be nice to go outside if it were warmer.

by Michael H.

I've been looking everywhere for this...Reviewed by my 10 year old daughter=============================I liked Hawaiian Tropic zone.My daddy liked it too.I loved my Shirley Temple.It was yummy.It had a big fresh cherry in it.My dad said something about cherry's but I couldnt quite hear him.The waitress was a very nice woman.The waitress had hardly any clothes on.My dad said she must have been cold but I didnt know how he could tell.She took care of me and she made me laugh.She made me smile and she brought me some crayons.My daddy liked the waitress too.He said she was very sexy but I don't understand what that means.I think grown-ups say it when they want to take their clothes off and sleep very close together and say things like "who's your daddy?"I know who my daddy is. Who wouldn't?All he says is I need to keep reading my bible otherwise how will I ever get into nun school?My daddy couldn't stop looking at all the girls.He said if JZ wasn't looking he'd like to bend one over.I think that would look kinda funny because if he did bend one over, she would spill her drinks everywhere.My daddy wants to come back again.I think I will come with him too just to make sure he doesnt spill his food down his shirt this time. Duh. Silly daddy

My sister and I came here last week for lunch and had a suprisingly good meal. I wasn't expecting much, we came because we had a gift card. However I found the service amicable, a little slow, but attentive all the same. We both got the same thing, a chicken sandwich on Focaccia, which was very tasty, especially liked how it had avocado on it. And I have to say the ice tea was the tastiest ice tea we had on our entire vacation (my sister and I are sort of ice tea maniacs, and are very picky). They also had a lot of good drink specials that unfortunately we couldn't partake in because if you use a gift card you can't get any other specials which didn't make much sense to me, since if we could've then we would have ended up spending MORE money.

by Shelly A.

Don't waste your time.  We got a coupon for a free beer with any appetizer our first day in Vegas. My husband and I ordered Nachos, gross, they looked like they were made at the 7-11.   Some of the girls are pretty, however service was not good, food just plain sucked.  Our bill with the free beer was still $25.00.

by Ron D.

We met friends there for lunch.  I had the the shrimp tacos.  I believe the shells were preformed safeway brand, absolutely no taste.  The meal itself was mediocre.  Our friends suggested the place most likely due to the skanky waitresses that worked there.  Sorry for being blunt, but really....  My wife had the chicken wraps and let me WARN you.  If you like tasteless grilled chicken strips and very narrow lettuce strips with not to much flavor, you will absolutely love these, if not don't order you will be as dissapointed as my wife was.Our friends are starting to warm up to http://Yelp.com.  We should have yelped before going, had we, we would have suggested another place, like Pinks hotdogs.

by Christopher S.

Been here quite a few times, in fact, I watched the Super Bowl here!  The waitstaff is friendly and fun, and the food is great!  Its a bit spendy, but the portions are big and one of my buddies swears the tuna here is better than at the sushi place we ate at a day later!The only issue - those 2 for 1 meal coupons...it never adds up, and seems to be kinda scam-ish.  My advice is just go for lunch, leave the coupons at home, there is something wrong with the coupons that just does not add up.Overall, a great place!

by Bill S.

GOD I LOVE VEGAS! My buddy I are walking the strip and we were given a card that gives us two for one drinks. My buddy tells me, what's a Mojito?We quickly order (4) and walk out when the drinks are finished. No dinner, just drinks. Oh yeah, did I mention waitresses in bikinis?! Vegas, you gotta love it baby!

by Rashid M.

Food was decent. The outdoor seating was nice. There are plenty of better places to eat at in Vegas.

by Lubs Y.

Where to go on a late Friday night? Definitely not here! It seems like most reviews on here are for the restaurant aspect of this place. I guess I made the mistake of coming here for the "club" aspect. We rolled in at around 2am I think, wanting to dance a bit more after a disappointing night at Prive. Free entry for females, but $5 for the guys. The place was pretty dead though and rather ghetto. The small dance floor is littered with sticky napkins and trash. There are go-go dancers all around trying to pump up the crowd, but the creepy men who stand around leering at them kind of spoils it for me.....

by Steven M.

You couldn't walk by this place without being attacked with coupons for liquor or food. We choose the liquor. I had a couple of strawberry margarita's and they were delicious. Very smooth and easy to drink. The crowd was a little stale in the bar and the restaurant was empty?

by Tony B.

I was staying at Planet Hollywood so I stopped into the Hawaiian Tropic Zone in the Miracle Mile Shops for lunch.  I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised.I had the Pan Roasted Double Cut Pork Chops that come with a side of mac-n-cheese and spinach.  This dish was very good and their drinks are great.  I had an excellent time and stayed there much longer than I had planned just to enjoy their cocktails and ambiance.

by April C.

Super lame! Skip it. I guess a place feels justified in serving mediocre food and overpriced drinks if they have hot girls. (Maybe that explains the prevalence of strip joints with "buffets" in the world.) - Bad calamari - $14 - Bad WELL drinks - $13/each- Bad service from an okay-looking girl who never even heard of the desired (non-exotic) liquor I wanted- Bad atmosphere for non-sports fans, or anyone who likes to talk during a mealMaybe I should've rated this place one star, but our reservation was honored (being seated quickly at the reservation time is appreciated).

by Robert K.

Just ate there on 11/27/08. Food was average at best. They try to rip you off by standing out by the street, and handing out 2 for 1, en tree's and 2 for 1 drinks, then charge you $17 per drink. En tree's were $27 on average, and not very good. Then they include 18% Tip on the bill prior to deducting the free entree, that wasn't worth $5 in my opinion. I felt like it was a total ripoff...... I don't mind paying $$$ for good food and good service, This was not good at all.

by Shauna D.

After eating at Earl of Sandwich, we went across the way to hang out at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone. We grabbed seats at the bar and since I didn't want to think about it too much, I ordered Stoli Blueberry on the rocks. But while sippin' on these tasty vodka on rocks, they were preparing for the club and took our barstools away. It was just as well as I was now starting to drink a Stoli raz on the rocks and it wasn't so good. The bartender at the bar by the DJ gave us cranberry for our drinks.Overall, I thought the place would be cheesier but it was still quiet early. It was easy to make small talk with fellow bar patrons. I wouldn't pay a cover to go in though.

by Angela W.

I've eaten here on two occasions now and wasn't impressed with either.  The first meal I shared here with L was about a year back when they still had the cabanas on the streetside.  That's what I was really looking forward to the second time but they're gone.  Maybe it's a seasonal thing? The food is expensive and not worth the inflated price.  L ordered the tuna sandwich and absolutely loved hers.  I ordered the steak sandwich and wished I'd chosen more wisely.  The sandwich had a combination of ingredients that didn't quite work and the meat pretty chewy.  Service could have been this place's saving grace but it wasn't.  Our waitress was very VERY slow.  We had a 2 for 1 entree coupon so I was thinking it was fine that it kind of sucked.  When we got the bill I was shocked- it was STILL pretty expensive.  They add 18% gratuity automatically when you use a coupon.  No wonder the waitress sucked- she knew she'd get her tip no matter what.......

by Natasha L.

This isn't the most fun place to grab a drink, I have to say, but it was a Thursday night after dinner.  Walking by here on The Strip, we were given those two for one drink tickets so we went in and sat at the bar.  Wine was about the price it normally is around $9 to $10 a pop.  But with the two for one coupon, this is pretty damn reasonable.  We didn't try the food though.  We walked in and the place was EMPTY. There was nobody at the bar to socialize with and most patrons were at the tables eating.  Our bartender was really nice though and she gave us a card to come back the next night to drink for free from 12am-2am.  We never made it back but I still have the card so next time, we might stop in, if not to grab a drink at the bar. She was telling us that there are more people there hanging out on the weekends. We shall see.

This isn't the most fun place to grab a drink, I have to say, but it was a Thursday night after dinner.  Walking by here on The Strip, we were given those two for one drink tickets so we went in and sat at the bar.  Wine was about the price it normally is around $9 to $10 a pop.  But with the two for one coupon, this is pretty damn reasonable.  We didn't try the food though.  We walked in and the place was EMPTY. There was nobody at the bar to socialize with and most patrons were at the tables eating.  Our bartender was really nice though and she gave us a card to come back the next night to drink for free from 12am-2am.  We never made it back but I still have the card so next time, we might stop in, if not to grab a drink at the bar. She was telling us that there are more people there hanging out on the weekends. We shall see.I've eaten here on two occasions now and wasn't impressed with either.  The first meal I shared here with L was about a year back when they still had the cabanas on the streetside.  That's what I was really looking forward to the second time but they're gone.  Maybe it's a seasonal thing? The food is expensive and not worth the inflated price.  L ordered the tuna sandwich and absolutely loved hers.  I ordered the steak sandwich and wished I'd chosen more wisely.  The sandwich had a combination of ingredients that didn't quite work and the meat pretty chewy.  Service could have been this place's saving grace but it wasn't.  Our waitress was very VERY slow.  We had a 2 for 1 entree coupon so I was thinking it was fine that it kind of sucked.  When we got the bill I was shocked- it was STILL pretty expensive.  They add 18% gratuity automatically when you use a coupon.  No wonder the waitress sucked- she knew she'd get her tip no matter what.......After eating at Earl of Sandwich, we went across the way to hang out at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone. We grabbed seats at the bar and since I didn't want to think about it too much, I ordered Stoli Blueberry on the rocks. But while sippin' on these tasty vodka on rocks, they were preparing for the club and took our barstools away. It was just as well as I was now starting to drink a Stoli raz on the rocks and it wasn't so good.

They try to rip you off by standing out by the street, and handing out 2 for 1, en tree's and 2 for 1 drinks, then charge you $17 per drink. En tree's were $27 on average, and not very good. Then they include 18% Tip on the bill prior to deducting the free entree, that wasn't worth $5 in my opinion. I felt like it was a total ripoff...... I don't mind paying $$$ for good food and good service, This was not good at all.Super lame! Skip it. I guess a place feels justified in serving mediocre food and overpriced drinks if they have hot girls. (Maybe that explains the prevalence of strip joints with "buffets" in the world.) - Bad calamari - $14 - Bad WELL drinks - $13/each- Bad service from an okay-looking girl who never even heard of the desired (non-exotic) liquor I wanted- Bad atmosphere for non-sports fans, or anyone who likes to talk during a mealMaybe I should've rated this place one star, but our reservation was honored (being seated quickly at the reservation time is appreciated).
