Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville is located on the corner of the Flamingo Hotel & casino and directly across the street from Caesar's Palace. We decided to venture out to eat again and thought we would go to the STRIP since it was Thursday and we thought it would be pretty mellow.
Well we had no problem finding parking and we made it straight to the restaurant without getting lost from one another. The place was PACKED and there was an hour -1 1/2 hour WAIT!! We gave our names and took our beeper BUT we decided to walk a little and see if something else caught our fancy. We walked to the next block and ask to be seated at another place BUT they told us the same thing and THEY weren't even busy. SO...we went back and waited patiently.
AFTER ALL....the place was HOPPING, lots of LOUD Jimmy Buffett tunes playing throughout the place. It's a 3 level place with 2 upstairs outdoor decks. the MAIN bar is a GIANT rock with caves and stuff. The seat are BOATS you sit in and upstairs the BOOTHes are all Cavernous with TV's in the wall.VERY COOL. NOT to mention the staff are running around dressed like pirates with sword,patches,wood legs and even a bunch on STILTS!!!
Miles was having a GREAT time. He really likes all the PEOPLE hE sees when we are on the STRIP. THE FREAKS COME OUT!!!!
Well our buzzer went off and we finally got in. It had only been about 45 minutes, not bad we've waited a lot longer for other places.
We were seated on the 3rd floor in a window seat, it was an awesome view of the STRIP. Miles & I saw a traffic accident it was really FUNNY-nobody got hurt, just a cabbie and a SMUT peddler on a bicycle.
The place was so LOUD it was great you had to lean in and YELL to be heard, which means you can YELL at your kid if NEED be without ANY embarrassment.LOL!
When our waitress got to us we were READY to order so we asked for some ICE TEAS all around and some WINGS to get us started.
Melissa ordered the Blue Crab & Corn Chowder. Miles had the CHEESEBURGER in PARADISE w/VEGGIES(what a strange kid-he never wants FRIES?!)I ordered Chicken Tortilla Soup and Teriyaki Steak w/Veggies and garlic mashed potatoes.
Miles scarfed all but 2 of the WINGS down while Melissa & I devoured our VERY scrumptious SOUPS.
Just as we were finishing our waitress came and refill our drinks,cleared away the dirties and came right back with the ENTREES.
Miles was starving!!(He had already had 3 helping of Chicken & Noodles, 3 PBJ sandwiches and Who Knows what else) He said THIS IS THE BEST!!! He ate ALL his veggies BUT gave his pickle to Melissa.
The teriyaki steak was cooked PERFECTLY Med/Med Rare, marinated in some Caribbean spiced teriyaki and the Pineapple on it just took it OVER the TOP. ADD Heinz 57 & Salt-PARADISE!!!!
After Melissa had a bite I had to fight her OFF so I could eat it myself. THE BEST STEAK I HAVE EVER HAD!! Melt in your mouth you could cut it with a fork!! And it was so FLAVORFUL!
OVERALL RATING: 10/10* THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST PLACE I HAVE EATEN IN LAS VEGAS. WE WILL BE MAKING ANOTHER TRIP BACK FOR SOME LUNCH HAPPY HOUR SPECIALS.
