Description: When we arrived at the Fairfield Grand Desert, we were famished! After our flight from Rhode Island, we were exhausted and just wanted to get a quick, inexpensive meal.
We asked one of the employees where the locals go for a quick, inexpensive, but good meal. He told us about Ellis Island Casino. He said sign up for the free casino card and then get the barbeque chicken and ribs.
So, off we went to Ellis Island. We played a few slot machines and then sat down and ordered the meal. To our surprise, not only did we get delicious barbecued half chicken, but also a rack of baby back ribs, corn on the cob, coleslaw and a beer for $6.95! (If you don't have a card, the meal costs $9.95.) There was so much food that neither my husband nor I could finish it. It was absolutely delicious. The barbecue sauce was just spicy enough and the waiter brought extra sauce just in case we wanted it. The service was excellent and the waiter was very helpful in telling us about the various places we could visit while we were in Vegas.
The casino itself does not look like much from the outside and when you first enter it is very smoky; however, the area where the food is served was fine. Basically the only smoke we could smell was the wonderful aroma of the barbecue cooking!
I must say that this place one that should be visited while in Vegas. I'm sure if you like barbecue chicken and ribs you will love Ellis Island!
