We eat here each time we visit Harrahs and usually go multiple nights for dinner. The menu is excellent and servings are enough that we split the full rack ribs. Guy’s ribs were perfect tonight—meat fell off bone and was moist and meaty ribs. Delicious every time.

Easy walk from my hotel room. Not very busy at 8:00am and was seated directly. Had pancakes with a side order of hash browns, which was excellent. Service was quick and pleasant. Will dine there again as my schedule allows.
