text: Researched places to eat in Vegas prior to my trip... and I came to Yelp to read all the rave reviews about Joe's... so my second night there this was the place to eat! The maitre d was okay... not super friendly but not a complete dousche... and he had to ID me before sitting in the lounge because he thought I wasn't 21 yet. I'm flattered. Anywho... didn't get any appetizers as nothing seemed appealing... so we went straight into dinner. \n\nMy friend ordered the fried seafood platter which she liked... she let me sample some of it... and honestly to me, it was just fried seafood. Nothing fancy.\n\nI was caught between the shrimp scampi (I heart scampi) and the parmesan halibut. The waitress suggested the scampi so I ordered that and I also got a small portion of the king crab mac and cheese... as I LOVE king crab and I LOVE mac and cheese. I also ordered a blush wine and I don't know the name of it (I asked the waitress and SHE didn't even know... um... FAIL!!!) but it was delicious so I'll shut up about that. The scampi came, and well, it looked sad. Yes the shrimp was large, but it was overcooked and there was NO taste to the pasta. Seriously??  A restaurant of this caliber with this reputation and the scampi has NO taste?? Unimpressed. Also, the king crab mac and cheese had no taste as well. I'm not a fan of adding salt to ANY dish... but I felt like BOTH dishes needed salt but like I said, I don't like to add salt. There was BARELY any king crab in the dish as well. LAME!!! I was completely disappointed and unimpressed with the food AND the service. My friend wanted to order another drink but our waitress never came around. We should'e went to N9NE at the Palms.... where we originally intended to go, but since she was staying at Caesars and we heard great things about Joe's we came here. BLAND food, MEDIOCRE service = a WASTE OF MONEY. Never again Joe's. NEVER AGAIN.
