Answer: Looking back, I realize I was trying to do the impossible. I went here hoping that it would be a genuine replica of that famous Bavarian brewery that first introduced me to beer. I went here with visions of pork shoulder, giant soft pretzles, and, of course, liters of delicious beer. I guess one out of three ain't bad. This Hofbrauhaus isn't much to look at outside, but once you step in the dining hall, you realize very quickly what you're getting into. The setup is very true to the original: high celings, an oompah band, and short skirted waitresses. Slowly, however, things started seeping in. The closest thing that the band came to a genuine German song was the 'chicken dance'. I looked all around for those big pretzles that compliment their beer so much, only to find out that the pretzle that comes with your meal is of the small, hard variety. I was very dissapointed at the size of the portions, too. My girlfriend got a sausage entree & it came with a minimum of sides: a pretzle. We had to share my plate, the 'Schweinebraten'. The food was good, but I really expected more. Aren't German dishes supposed to fill you up? I was very satisfied with the beer, though. It tasted like it did three years ago, and they stick to the original or dunkel. When it comes to beer, you don't come here for variety, you come for quality. Also, it was really loud, so don't come here expecting a nice, quiet dinner with your sweetheart. To recap: The food was good, but a ripoff, the beer was great, & the atmosphere mediocre at best. I know I set the bar high, but even with that factored in it wasn't that great of an experience. Would I come back? Only if someone else is paying.

Answer: We went on a mission to try some food that wasn't whipped up inside a hotel or casino and someone in our group found Triple George on line or something. This little outpost is a block off of Fremont Street, in the DT3 construction zone behind the Fremont Hotel & Casino. I realize that doesn't sound appetizing and I was more than a little skeptical as we walked over. All of those doubts were quickly jettisoned as soon as we walked inside. The decor has a really cool retro '30s feel to it. Classy, but not stuffy. You won't see many tables when you walk in. That's because most of the seating is hidden behind private wood walls. You literally have your own booth tucked away out of the sight of everyone in the place. It's really, really, really cool. Service was friendly and appropriate. I could tell that our server could very easily switch into her "formal" mode when necessary. With us, she was perfectly casual, yet professional. Nice. Food? Dynamite. Truly. I was shocked at just how good everything was. Very simple, very fresh ingredients taken from local markets, according to the menu. Grilled asparagus and sauteed spinach sides were delicious. Lunchtime burgers were cooked to perfect doneness--well done for one friend, perfect medium for another. Wedge salad was, again, simple but delicious, topped with bacon and blue cheese. The fish special rocked another friend's world real hard. I've rarely seen anyone get so excited over fish and wild rice, but Triple George managed to make that happen. I've hit up a ton of restaurants in Las Vegas, but Triple George quickly joined my list of personal favorites.

Answer:
I give it 4 stars not because its a 4 star Hotel, but because its a nice hotel ON the strip that gives you excellent rates, I have stayed 3 times here when on a low-medium budget and loved it, rooms are basic and clean, staff is really nice, one time at check-in I told the lady that there wasn't only 2 of us but rather 3 (they charge you for the extra person) she was really nice about it and didnt charge us.(They avoid this by just not giving you the extra room key) The casino is kinda small but nice, didnt really gamble that much anyway. I do however recommend having a car for your trip if staying here because it is a good 3 miles to Mirage (example), if you wont have a car then change your hotel.
