Tariff for lunch for one: $43 + a $7 tip…and no, it’s not worth it. It may not be the reason the hotel operation tanked, but it’s surely, metaphorically, indicative of the Fertitta hubris that helped sink the ship. There’s no doubt that Red Rock Station is a beautiful place, but pricing its food (especially its hamburgers) above what you find on the Strip, is about the dumbest F&B decision imaginable (or anyone else who signed off on these pricing decisions - see comment below). we found some pretty good meat, but we’ll take the beauties at BLT, Stripburger and Burger Bar any day. Somewhere beneath all the bread, sauce, bacon, cheese, marmalade(?), lettuce, etc. That burger had a bun to meat ratio of approximately 3 to 1, and more moving parts than a Mexican soap opera. Yes, that’s what our far-from-perfect “Perfect Burger” cost us, along with “cheese curds” (really just some deep fried cubes of cheap mozzarella), some pretzel nuggets (“with two dipping sauces!”), and two small bottles of sparkling mineral water. Perhaps the fact that the hotel is deader than Julius Caesar these days explains such bizarre hours, but nothing can explain a $50 burger lunch…for one.

(When presumably, it expects a lunch rush?) A barbecue restaurant….in a major hotel….on a Saturday….decides not to open until 2 o’clock. If you want to know the real reason Station Casinos declared bankruptcy, look no further than the $50 burger lunch they foisted upon ELV recently.įirst, we tried to go to Salt Lick BBQ around 1 PM on a Saturday, and were informed it doesn’t open until 2 in the afternoon.
