Every
Las Vegas visitor knows about breakfast deals. Casinos vie with
each other to pull in tourists with offers of ham and eggs for
as little as 69 cents. Anybody who's been lured inside by one
of these too-good-to-be-true offers knows that they're often
disappointing. The coffee shop may be hidden in a labyrinth
of slot machines. The menus may make no reference to the advertised
"special," and unless you ask, you end up paying prices that
are no bargain. Sometimes the number of tables at which the
"special" is available is limited, and the line for those tables
is hours long.
But wait!
There is a place where the cafe special is easy to find, readily available,
served with a smile, and good. Mahoney's Silver Nugget Casino offers six
different breakfast selections for US$1.25 each. The specials are available
from 11:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Garden Cafe near the bowling alley.
I ordered
the standard eggs, toast and jam, and Mark had a ham, egg and cheese muffin
sandwich. We saw the "English Scramble" being delivered to another table,
and it looked good, too. French toast, pancakes and fresh fruit were other
options.
The Silver
Nugget had another special going, too. Everything on the regular menu
was available for no more than US$3.99. This made steaks and prime rib
an excellent deal.
With everything
you save on food, you can indulge in a little Keno while you finish your
coffee. With any luck, you'll get the best Vegas deal of all: breakfast
with a profit.
