This is the best, cheapest, fastest, and cleanest place for breakfast in Las Vegas. It is inside of the Tuscany casino, and is only 1.1 mile walk away from Caesars palace. So I didn’t even need a taxi.

This establishment is a hidden treasure, offering both affordability and delightful cuisine. I will certainly return when I visit from Vegas. The walk from my hotel was truly worthwhile.

We went to Marilyns Cafe for dinner not knowing what to expect. The restaurant is in the Tuscany Casino in LV where we were staying. The restaurant was empty and the decor wasn’t exactly nice so we were a little weary but decided to eat any way. The server was very nice and helpful. The menu is typical for a diner with a wide array from breakfast to dinner and some specials. My wife wasn’t very hungry so she ordered a New England Clam Chowder, my son ordered the Sichuan shrimp with fried rice and Asian vegetables, and I had Loco Moco (Hawaiian style comfort food) which is hamburger patty, over rice, covered in brown gravy with an egg on top. All the food was great and the portions were big. We were pleasantly surprised and recommended this place.

Wonderful service and the food is really good. Definitely has my return business!!! I got the salmon, with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese, and I couldn't be happier with my meal. Oh and don't forget the chocolate cake!!! I've returned again for the Prime Rib Scramble. It comes with toast and hash browns. It was totally worth it, two thumbs up on that special!!! I seriously can't stop eating here. Everything I've had is so good!!!

This place takes great customer service to a whole new level! My server was the best I've had in years. He timed everything perfectly and was a genuinely nice guy. I was impressed when he asked if I wanted crispy of regular bacon. Nobody ever asks that. And the crispy bacon did not disappoint! The food really hit the spot! Fresh, well prepared, and very reasonably priced for Vegas. If you're looking for a good off-strip diner, this is the spot!

We stopped for breakfast as we were there for the Dead Head Experience. We had the steak and eggs and the prime rib scramble. Both were delicious. The portions are generous, the service impeccable (in a dinner way), and the food affordable. A welcome change to the strip crowded restaurants. I can see myself returning and trying their other options.

Loved it here. Wanting to come back each day of our trip. Delicious food, great Vegas prices, nice atmosphere with some old school casino vibes. You can order lunch/dinner any hour!

The food here is super affordable and super delicious. This is one of my favorite places we ate while in Vegas. I highly recommend the prime rib scramble. The portions are big too.
