Margaritaville at the Flamingo Resort

10/29/2007 Posted by brazen30

We were in Las Vegas over the past week and a half and ate at Margaritaville twice. The first time, we were seated within 10 minutes and had a fabulous meal and great service. The second visit, we had to wait almost 40 minutes for a table... another couple apparently sick of waiting even tried to steal our reservation by claiming it was their name that was called (fortunately we were right there to prevent it). The service this time was marginal at best, as our server took our order but we didn't get our food until almost 45 minutes after we were seated (nothing difficult, a cheeseburger and nachos). People seated after us were being served and/or paying their tab to leave prior to our meal arriving. The music was deafeningly LOUD and painful for the ears. We visit Vegas frequently, and I'm not sure we will be back to Margaritaville.

Pros: Good food

Cons: VERY loud, poor service

To be fair, I visited the one in New Orleans 2 weeks before Katrina and had a blast there on a Monday night when it was totally deserted and got a tour from the staff. It was kickin'. Cheeseburger in paradise really was paradise! The one in Vegas is cavernous compared to NOLA. Sat at the tables made of fishing boats but had to sit in front instead of the preferred spot in back. Cheeseburger was good but not as good as NOLA. Still, it was coool and we spent a ton of coin in the gift shop.

Pros: good burgers

Cons: wait

We love Margaritaville in Vegas. I think we stop in at least 2-3 times during our trip. Things that are a must: 1) Volcano Nachos: Best Nachos you will ever have and enough to feed 8 people 2) Perfect Margarita: They have the best margarita hands down. On the rocks----with salt. It doesnt get any better than that 3) Loaded Coronas: Coronas topped with tequila Margaritaville must be on your to do list. Best to sit on the rooftop patio over looking the strip. Even if its hot, they have the misters on which will cool you down. And if that doesnt work, try one of their mixed drinks. Their Pina Coladas are awesome.

Pros: GREAT drinks!

Cons: Can get crowded

We are definitely coming back to Margaritaville when we go back to Vegas. Got the Top Shelf Margarita on the rocks with salt, very smooth and perfectly mixed. BF liked the Shark Lager and for an extra dollar you can ask them to put a shot of some lime liquor in. Definitely order the conch fritters, they were so delicious we came back the next day to order just those. Peel and eat shrimp was disappointing. Their fries are tasty too. Mostly burger and fries/onion rings here, nothing fancy. I've seen the place crowded before but we went early and avoided all that.

Pros: Margaritas, Shark Lager, Conch fritters

Cons: Crowded

This place is great. Eventhough it's on the strip, it has this colorful, laid-back atmosphere. Yes, it certainly attracts a lot of tourists, but as a local I felt totally at ease there, not at all annoyed. I had a great time with my best-friend who was visiting me. I had two absolutely delicious drinks and these Jamaican chicken wings that were phenomenal! Margaritaville is the perfect place to chill out on a weekend afternoon and it has a good energy at night as well. The bartenders are very friendly and attentive.The only thing is that it is very crowded, as you can imagine. Be prepared to wait for 30 mins to 1 hour to be seated.

Pros: Good drinks and food, Friendly staff, Laid-back atmosphere.

Cons: Tends to be pretty crowded.

Let me start by saying Im a Houstonian and with the amount of great Mexican restaurants in Houston I think I know a good margarita. Very disappointed trying to find a good rita while playing around on the strip. DO NOT buy the Yards of Margs that the various venders sell. Little to no alcohol, more like a limeade. Finally stopped into Margaritaville and was not disappointed by their drinks. Had a Perfect Margarita on the Rocks and it was very strong, stiff, tasty, and great. Also had the Uptown Rita frozen and again, wasnt let down. Good people watching, friendly bartenders, and ended up being one of my favorite afternoons there. Give it a try!

Not a great place but not a bad place... let's just call it "a place." Nothing stands out on either side - so it's average. It's right off the Strip - like a few feet, so that's convenient, but be careful.. if you have to many cocktails, you could accidentally fall into traffic.

Pros: Location

Cons: Crowd

I loved this place! It is what it is. If you walk in with high expectations, maybe you'll be disappointed, but we weren't. The service was friendly, bartenders, and waitress. You definitely get what you pay for, and the atmosphere is really fun and unpretentious. The rooftop bar is a great place to sit and people watch.

Pros: Atmosphere

Cons: Large crowds at times

We only go to this place to drink loaded coronas good on a hot day. The food is average your typical Amercan style burgers, sandwiches, and so forth. The atmosphere is really lively which is fun.

Pros: Lively, loaded coronas

Cons: average food
