AM I A Dinosaur, a relic of the past? I had some wonderful friends in town over the weekend. They stayed at the Wynn Hotel. They are big players so Wynn paid for their room and meals. They called and said we want you to join us for dinner at the steak restaurant 'SW.' I wonder what the SW stands for, could it be Steve Wynn.
The SW was down the curvy escalator to the lake, a bar and another restaurant. We had reservations but it took 15 minutes to seat us. This is the third time I ate at the Wynn, they always make you wait. Maybe they think anything good is worth waiting for.
The waiter asked if we wanted tap or bottled water. My friends were from Colorado, so tap water was OK; they had no idea how bad Las Vegas water tastes. This water wasn't filtered; it was straight from the tap.
We were on a 'comp' but the prices were killers. I had a Bone-in Rib eye for $52.00. It was served on a big beautiful plate, with nothing else, but the steak. O' wait, there was a small piece a Rosemary on top of the Rib eye.
We ordered extras, vegetables, potatoes, and onion rings all for $30.00 more. None of these extras could fill one of my cavities, let alone three people. I filled up on bread, it was good, but you had to ask for more.
Everything was tasty, and the service was good. However, there was nothing special to the SW restaurant, it could have been a restaurant in a Holiday Inn in Barstow. Should I shut-up, eat, and get with the times? Am I a Dinosaur, am I still living in The Old Las Vegas, nothing tastes good to me unless I'm eating dinner with a 2 for 1 coupon.
