   Took a while for the server to come by. The first round of tapas brunch plates were semi cold. We ordered some plates with "no" whatever and the plates still came w it on. The tiniest bite of brisket on the Benedict. For $45 brunch a soda or coffee were not included. I prefer a more traditional buffet that can be found for less or around the same price

   Service was slow, food arrived cold, floor on outdoor patio was dirty/littered with food. Carnitas Calle tacos were tasty tho and something I would return for.

   Border Grill has a great small plate brunch. Add in the bottomless mimosas and you’ve got yourself a good time.

   Very expensive for what you get which is basically El Torito Mexican food for $$$$ prices.  Margaritas were basically all ice for $20+. Our appetizers came at the same time as our entrées. The experience was not the best but it was also not the worst.

   Left a $20 cash for the tip, although for 18% it should be around $21.50 something. Since we charged our bill to our hotel room, we only had the $20 cash on hand and gave that instead. But upon checkout today, we saw a $2 charge for tip in our hotel room bill. My husband wrote $0.00 on the charge receipt since we gave a $20 cash for tip. This restaurant is not even good compared to other mexican restaurants we’ve eaten in Vegas. We often go to Vegas almost every month since being a platinum cardholder/member of MGM for many years now. We always tip cash and have never experienced something like this, manipulating what should the guest give. I mean it’s only $2.00 but this is cheating! We didn’t sign a $2 tip on the charged bill receipt! We are not going back here not just for the food but for them manipulating the tip!

   Good Afternoon Jen, Upon reading this review we jumped into action and investigated this situation. We pride ourselves on operating with integrity and have gotten to the bottom of the situation. The check total was $146 and was signed for a total of $148. This appears to be an error in reading a 6 as an 8 on the printed receipt causing the $2 discrepancy between the check total and the handwritten total. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like us to send a signed copy of the check. We will also work diligently with the hotel to ensure the $2 discrepancy is refunded.

   Friendly fast service. Good margaritas. Food was better than okay but not amazing. Next time we will try the seafood stew that the table next to us ordered. Looked amazing and they said it was very good.

    We had been to this same restaurant a few years ago (post covid) and my husband even hosted a work event post conference there. We were excited to go back during this visit to town but found the restaurant needing a refresh (looking dated) and the food bland and corn tortillas a bit pasty in flavor. Even the drink we had wasn’t particularly good it was just fair. It will not be a do again for us
