Dick's Last Resort Las Vegas Review
The Unapologetically Rude Dining Experience
Dick's Last Resort isn't your typical Las Vegas restaurant - it's an experience that proudly flips conventional hospitality on its head. Located in the heart of the Linq Promenade, this establishment has built its reputation on intentionally rude service, loud music, and a deliberately chaotic atmosphere that either delights or horrifies visitors.
Atmosphere & Ambiance
From the moment you approach the open-air venue, you're greeted with blaring classic rock music and the sound of laughter (and occasional shouting). The industrial-chic decor features exposed ductwork, neon signs with sarcastic messages, and communal picnic-style tables covered with butcher paper. Servers actively insult guests, throw napkins at tables, and craft personalized insult hats from paper - all part of the carefully orchestrated chaos.
Culinary Offerings
The menu focuses on American comfort food with generous portions. Their signature buckets - literally metal buckets filled with ribs, shrimp, chicken, or combinations - are messy, shareable, and surprisingly well-executed. The ribs are tender with a decent smoke ring, while the fried chicken maintains a crispy exterior without being greasy. Burgers are massive, sandwiches are overstuffed, and sides like coleslaw and fries are served in equally generous portions.
Service with a Snarl
Service here is performance art. Waitstaff are trained to be sarcastic, sassy, and deliberately inattentive in the most entertaining way possible. They'll mock your food choices, make fun of your appearance, and generally treat you with playful contempt. It's important to understand this is all part of the act - these are actually skilled servers who maintain order beneath the chaos.
Value Proposition
Given the Las Vegas Strip location and entertainment value, pricing is reasonable. Entrees range from $18-32, with buckets designed for sharing starting at $45. The experience justifies the price point, especially considering you're getting both a meal and unconventional entertainment.
Practical Information
Open daily from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM (until midnight Friday-Saturday). No reservations accepted - it's first come, first served. The venue can accommodate large groups but expect longer waits during peak hours. Located steps from the High Roller observation wheel and across from Caesars Palace.
Who Should Visit
Perfect for groups looking to break the ice, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and anyone with thick skin and a sense of humor. Not recommended for those easily offended, seeking romantic dining, or expecting refined service.
The Verdict
Dick's Last Resort delivers exactly what it promises: an intentionally terrible service experience wrapped around decent food and great people-watching. It's not for everyone, but for those who understand the concept, it's a memorable Las Vegas experience.
