Great Place for a Party

by numbercruncher

We took a group of 6 people to Pampas for dinner a few nights ago. We are five locals who were entertaining one out-of-town guest. We ordered the all-you-can-eat salad bar and meat skewers. The food was delicious and the format was unique. The service and atmosphere were perfect for a party. Our out of town guest loved it and we all plan to go back.

one of the best steak experience ever!!!!!!!!!!

by 77boopers

When you walk in to this restaurant there is excitment everywhere!!! I mean that the host walked us into the kitchen and we got to talk to the chefs. The pllace is very clean and the employees are proud of their restaurant. We sat down at the wine room and recived service from over 8 servers. The meats were forever coming, we had shrimp and lobster skewers (very good) we had three bottles of some south american wine named "primas" this was better than most califorina wines. we all had the flan and chcolate mousse. Our experience was the best I have had in a long time. For the $$$$ of about 60 per person with all we had there is no comparisin.

• Pros: you can get all steaks in one sitting
• Cons: You get too full

DEFINETELY WORTH GOING TO!

by Love2Eating

The Pampas Brazilian Grille is wonderful! The service and atmosphere was exceptional. I felt right at home from the minute I sat down at our table. But what was even more amazing than the service was the food! There were so many amazing meats that were grilled to perfection and the salad bar was a meal within itself! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves to eat!

You Gotta Try This Place

by KarlHR

We came on vacation with a whole bunch of friends and were looking for a place we could all have dinner together. So, first off, the Pampas folks said "no problem" to a group of about 20 of us. We know that's a silly thing to do with a group that size, we should have made a reservation. But, they took care of us anyway. Nice. We were seated in about 10 minutes, then fed until were were all in a food coma! Most of us has the specialty--the rodizio meats. They were great! Plus you can keep on getting the meats, and the stuff fromt he salad bar, until you are full. And were all were. Most of us also decided to try some of the specialty cocktails from their list. We had a great time, will definitely go back next time we're in Las Vegas. Give it a try. You'll love it.

• Pros: Great food and lots of it

A Must Go in Las Vegas!

by ThereseR

My date and I went to the Pampas recently, and opted for the Surf & Turf (the meats and seafoods). It was wonderful. Even though we were stuffed, we decided to something fromt he tempting dessert tray that made it's way over to our table. My date had the cheesecake, I had the chocolate raspberry cake. Yummmmmmmmm! This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had, start to finish. Great friendly and welcoming service plus great food. It's a must go in Las Vegas.

• Pros: Fabulous Food, Great Service

one word - awful

by chauncerel

The only thing worse than the food was the service. Please, don't waste your time, money, or appetite. Let's hope some good brazillian places open up here in Vegas... we need a good one.

• Pros: none
• Cons: taste, selection, service

do not waste your money!!!

by josana

i had been looking for a good brazillian steakhouse in vegas for a few months now. i just recently moved here from minneapolis, where we have the great fogo de chao. i saw the advertisment in an on flight magazine, and it sounded like the place to go. i met a very sweet guy who wanted to go to dinner, and he told me i could pick the place. all i could think of was cheesy rolls, all the meat you can eat, and wonderful salad bar selection. i make him look up pampas, and set the reservation. we arrived and were seated by a dumb snatch of a hostess with no personality. the salad bar was o.k. some nice items, but overall seemed not fresh at all, and like they refrigerate the food and reuse it the next day. one of the waiters said the rolls they had at the salad bar had cheese in them, but you could have fooled me. either they were so dried out and the cheese dried with the bread, or he was b.s-ing me. the meat was not that great. it seems like they kept bringing the same thing around. it lacked flavor and great brazillian seasoning. it tastes very plain. i never salt things, but the meat def. needed it. overall the service was ok, the food was gross, and way too expensive. dont waste your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: very empty, for obvious reasons
• Cons: everything!

Don't understand service in a city like Las Vegas?

by ChucoMonster

More than 15 friends and I all traveled to Las Vegas to celebrate a friend's birthday on May 24. One of the places the birthday girl was excited to eat at was Pampas. She made reservations and everything was set. So we all get there and they kindly accommodate our very large party (20). Everything is going well, the food is delicious, but before the waiter leaves, the birthday girl asks if he could separate our checks. Sure, he says. Later, she asks him again. Same response. We get our check (which totaled more than $1,000), and they tell us they can't separate the check. The birthday girl asks to speak to a manager. When it came time to confront the waiter about the whole separate checks issue, he calmly says "No, she didn't." So, when we ask the manager to rectify the matter, she says their policy is to charge 15% extra to do so if there are more than three cards being charged. That's an extra $150 just so they could charge us separately ? AFTER we asked them more than once to separate the check. Before this, there was never any mention of any charge. The manager was quite unforgiving and rude. Once we decided to simply put the whole amount on another friend's card, she nonchalantly asks, "Would you like dessert?" It wasn't free, by the way.

I'd just like to say thanks, Pampas staff, for ruining what would have been an otherwise pleasurable birthday celebration.

As for the food, it was not too shabby. The filet mignon, though, was bland and dry, even though it was quite pink in the middle. Which shouts, "I've been lying around for a while!" It definitely wasn't terrible, but not worth traveling from four different states and $1,000 just to be treated rudely. I'd suggest any of the other thousands of other places to eat in Las Vegas that truly understand what customer service is all about.

• Pros: Traditional Brazilian buffet with a variety of choices; food wasn't terrible
• Cons: Staff ? including manager ? were ruuuuuuuude
