Mika, my 9 yo, really wanted to go out for breakfast on our last day in Las Vegas. I thought about doing the breakfast buffet at the MGM Grand, but the buffet gets terrible review in Yelp plus it’s quite expensive. So I decided to stop at a run-of-the-mill family restaurant on our way out of Las Vegas. As it turned out, after packing, putting the stuff in the car and finding a bank, it was 11:30 AM before we were ready for breakfast. The Omelet House on West Charleston was the first restaurant that we came across so stopped there.
The Omelet House is yet another old-style all-American restaurant, with the type of ambiance and menu you can expect from that type of restaurant, albeit this one seemed a bit more crowded and run down than most. It has great atmosphere, however. They serve breakfast all day, the standard fare you can expect from this sort of restaurant. I ordered the “stuffed french toast” ($8.40), which consisted of two slices of French toast with some blueberry compote between them. It came with two slices of bacon and two eggs. The French Toast was pretty good, nothing out of this world but it was tasty enough. The bacon was your average kind, again not particularly special, as were the eggs. A satisfying meal, all in all, and one that kept me until we had dinner, well past 8 PM.
Both kids had pancakes with chocolate chips. Camila had a single one ($3.70) and Mika the “flap special” ($8.50) which consisted of two pancakes, two pieces of bacon and two eggs. They both liked the very large pancakes. The chocolate chips came on the side, but they melted on the very hot pancakes. The accompanying butter was salted, which I personally don’t like on sweet foods.
Mike didn’t get anything, thinking that the girls were going to leave a lot of food, but it turned out that the girls were hungrier than we thought.
In all, the Omelet House was a fine, though not particularly outstanding, choice for breakfast. I’d go again, but would not seek it out.
