The place is a real dive so it will definitely not impress the ladies. Located behind Bally's. And $5 craps on a Saturday night!
I didn't eat at Ellis Island, but I drank their Hefeweizen. It had a buttery flavor. That's not what a Hefe is supposed to taste like, it was either a bad batch or horribly dirty lines and the worst Hefe I've ever had--bar none. The karaoke, however, was world class entertainment value
While on the subject, is Gordon Biersch the brewhouse by the Covention Center (behind the Wynn IIRC), and is it any good? Went to the place at Town Square last fall and the food was rather unremarkable.
Also, in the first page of the thread someone mentioned Jimmy John's and that everyone he knows has never eaten there. It's not a bad sandwich, we have them here in the Midwest.
Regarding Buca vs Maggiano's, Maggiano's wins all day. Would still rather have a small family owned place (like places on the Hill in St Louis)....
