text: Border Grill Mandalay BaynnOur last night in Las Vegas we decided to take a stroll over to Mandalay Bay and have dinner at Border Grill This place was highly recommended on the gluten free sites and showed on their website to have a dedicated gluten free menu so needless to say I was pumped to check it out nnThe hostess was not very friendly I got to say that I am a stickler for happy positive employees because they are the face of your business and crucial to customer satisfaction nnI was pleased to see such a large gluten free menu until I opened it and realized of the pages were filled with alcohol choices nnWe decided to try the Queso Fundido which they brought out with corn tortillas and the chips are gluten free there The dip was pretty tasty for sure but it did not knock my socks off nnOur waiter was aware of celiac disease and gluten free preparations so that made me feel at ease too during our time there nnI ordered a shrimp and rice which came out on a plate filled with rice and then a strip of shrimp down the middle The rice was in a pool of liquids making it a bit soggy I have to say that I cannot stand wet rice so I just ate the rice off the top and picked at the shrimp The dish was disappointing and I did not leave there feeling like I had an amazing gluten free dish coming from somewhere that specifically has a gluten free menu The cost of my small shrimp and rice was also which I found to be completely out of line for the quality of the dish nnNow had that dish come out and completely wowed me I would not blink at spending on vacation in Las Vegas for dinner It just did not do it for me so I can tell you I will not likely go back on my trip to Las Vegas next year nnI would recommend Border Grill because they are educated and understand gluten free meals but I am not sure it would be my first pick for someone It is the safe choice
