Here's a solid, reasonably priced place to eat, which is pretty rare on the Strip. Honestly, it's kind of like a Denny's, but its traditional coffee-shop choices (including a "create your own burger") are somewhat better than you might expect. There are some eccentric items such as a chopped Mediterranean shrimp salad, a smoked salmon plate, a rosemary-chicken sandwich on onion focaccia bread, and a strawberry cream puff swan for dessert. Note also a very good (and low-fat!) Thai shrimp satay, loaded with vegetables, which is listed under "classic American" dishes. We were amused by the fruit plate, which is actually melons and such atop a pound cake. It's a dessert masquerading as a salad!

Main courses $5.95-$17.Open: Daily 24 hr.Reservations not accepted.Credit Cards: AE, MC, V.
