I've been to a lot of the clubs in Vegas, Hollywood, etc., and I'd say this is the only one I would pass on, even if I had friends there. I went here on a Friday night and it was $30 just to get in, you simply could not walk anywhere in the club. Not on the dance floor, not in the hallways, not in front of the bars. It was hot, claustrophobic and uncomfortable. The venue itself doesn't seem that bad, but it was so over-crowded that you couldn't move. Imagine trying to put all the people in Tao into a club that MIGHT be half the size. The music was so loud that you couldn't hear someone yelling into your ear. The crowd was a mix of an older crowd and a young crowd that clearly didn't know better. I paid $30 to get in, $15 for a drink, and walked out 15 minutes later without thinking twice, just happy not to be there anymore.

When you walk to the door at Dick's Hideaway you're immediately greeted by the aroma of slow roasting pork wafting through the air. My mouth was watering before even being seated. This place is small and seating is limited, almost cramped...but I was happy that we were seated so quickly, given it was a busy Friday night. If you're lucky enough to have a seat at the bar you can watch all the action take place live.. However, if your a party of two, be forewarned that you could be seated at a very small table where both guests are literally staring at a wall. Fortunately, the cramped seating and odd view are quickly forgotten when the food arrives. Both dishes were succulent and moist, not to mention full flavor. The server was friendly and was quick to bring over a couple of wine samples before having to make a final decision. Another Yelper commented on the cold temperature within the restaurant. Granted it was about 113 on the day of our visit, but if there was air conditioning on in the restaurant I couldn't feel it. All in all, Dick's Hideaway is a terrific local gem. I'd like to go back and try their brunch at some point.

I really wanted to put one star, but the manager lady was fair enough and partially resolved a problem I had there. My stay at Vegas this week, I looked up their website's menu and the price excited me seeing it was better than other place. As the saying goes, "not all cheap things are great." First let me say there was this Asian man who took my order, who was a little rude. He did not really listen to what I had to say, and he came to me with the check when we were done and literally coughed without covering his mouth on my face, and told me "the suggested gratuity is 20%" and that I should pay this amount. It was just a party of two, and our total came out to around $50, so the gratuity suggested of $9. All well known and better restaurants say at the bottom of all their menus that an 18% gratuity is automatically added to the bill of "parties of 8 or more." He was telling me to pay a "20% gratuity" of only a party of two. Okay, it's not just that, I was really disappointed in the food as well. While I was eating, I kept thinking that I rather be eating panda express. It's the worse dinner, and course of meal i've ever had especially I'm eating in Vegas. I wanted what I imagined to be vegetable stir fry, but the guy who took my order, before I could spot it on the menu, said it as "salt and pepper" which I didn't catch with the accent, and speaking fast before I could finish ordering, sorry that had to be mentioned. You can say I was pretty wrong to assume he understands what I wanted. What i had was an appetizer like menu which costed more than a similar appetizer menu I had. There were 2 salt and pepper menu in front of me, because I had also ordered a calamari salt and pepper. I should've made sure, but when the food came I just couldn't satisfy my hunger, because it was plain weird and salty. Of course it was weird, because I got something different than what I really wanted to order. I wanted to pay for everything and accept my fault, until the server placed the receipt, coughed on my face, and told me to pay a 20% gratuity which no restaurant had ever done to their customer. You simple leave the check, walk out, and whatever you get, you get. Since he was rude I thought I'd speak up about what I didn't like, so an Asian manager lady gave me a half price off the wrong order made. You can say it was better than paying a big price for something you didn't like.

Do not waste your time. Sanitation grade is a 90. Overpriced for the quality. It costs $67 dollars from me and my two young children to eat there. I will not make that mistake again . I will not recommend this restaurant.
