Dining in Vegas Horror Stories – The Hair in my Vegetables


It was a bad food day for me in Vegas that included getting the wrong order three times and hair in my food for dinner.

I gave away the story line before I started. The title says it all, hair in your food. Not a big deal if it is your hair, it is more an issue when it is some unknown hair. Now I have talked in my other blogs about eating cheap and healthy in Vegas but you already know that food is not cheap in Vegas. So we were pleased to purchase a coupon that would give us 25% off the cost of a buffet at the Monte Carlo on the Vegas strip.

After we were seated We quickly filled our plates with the usual buffet fare. We were waiting for our server to take our drink order prior to going to the buffet but she was no where in sight. I had a full dish of grans and vegetables and started to work my way through. Wen I was down to 3/4 of the plate there it was nestled in the beans and squash  I was just about to put into my mouth, HAIR, two whole strands.

When I showed it to my partner he suggested I go see the chef and show it to him and so I did. He took the plate and said he will come and see me later he will need to take it to the manager. So I waited, too afraid to eat any more of the food from the buffet. While I waited I wondered about the bad luck I was having dining out in Vegas. Earlier that day I had the issue with the wrong order at Denny's and now this.

It is strange but as I waited for my hair in the food complaint to be resolved I thought what if they thought I put the hair there. It was totally not my hair and anyone can see that as there were differences in colour and texture. My thoughts were interrupted when two young men dressed in black suits approached me and asked how everything was. He apologized for the hair in the food incident and credited my account for one meal.

I was happy about the credit but somehow still dissatisfied. I did not get to finish my meal and my dinner for two was ruined. Yes I got an apology and a credit but a bad taste in my mouth persisted for the rest of my evening.. What if I had already consumed some hair? Where did the hair come from and what else could have gone wrong in the making of the food?

My eating and dining experiences in Las Vegas left much to be desired. In my next blog I will address the absence of vegan and vegetarian options and how difficult it is to eat in Vegas if you are a vegan.

The Cattail Cafe at the Seven Clans Casino, Warroad MN - A Review

Cattail café Seven Clans Casino, Warroad, review - image Google The Cattail café is conveniently located next to the casino and across from the gift shop. Here you can grab breakfast, lunch or dinner on the go in an informal, pedestrian type setting. The food The menu at the Cattail has your usual burgers, fish and chips and chicken dinners. There is a marked absence of vegetables and coleslaw seems to be the closest thing to green you will see. Don't expect any special treatment if you are vegan or gluten free . You don't always get what is on the menu as it seems they are not always able to prepare what you ask for and bluntly tell you they can't get you what's on the menu without giving a reason. I ate there once and had the fish and chips which was okay. Service at the Cattail Service was mixed when I visited. The serving staff behind the counter were pleasant enough but not very accommodating. I asked if they had veggie burgers and the guy looked at...

RV Trip to St Malo Provincial Park, Manitoba

St Malo Provincial Park ©Ashauntae(2020) St Malo Beach Having just acquired our first motorhome , it was time to start planning trips to campgrounds. We would start  in Manitoba and work our way across Canada and eventually to the United States. To our surprise available campgrounds were in short supply. It seems like due to COVID-19 and stay at home orders, campgrounds had become a high demand commodity. ©Ashauntae(2020) Tiffen Allegro Motorhome With perservance we managed to find three nights in the St Malo Provincial park in mid July. The highlight of St Malo is it's family friendly twin beaches.  One of the beaches called sunset beach is the ideal location to watch the sunset.

A visit to the Pirate Museum in Nassau Bahamas

pirate museum, Nassau, Bahamas, image Ashauntae Located in the heart of downtown Nassau is the Pirate Museum and a must see for tourists who want a glimpse into the history of piracy especially as it relates to the Caribbean.  Inside the museum you will find a true replica pirate ship which hosts most of the exhibits on two floors. Enter if you dare. It can be like entering a haunted house with sights and sounds of an era past on a pirate ship. The first room on the ship belongs to the ship's carpenter who had the most important job on the ship. The ship holds many historical facts about famous pirates, their conquests and their demise. There are replica jails, re-enactment image  of a gruesome surgery at sea, and other pirate artifacts. On the outside of the museum you can take your photo locked in the stocks. All in all it was a very informative experience.
