The Samba cracks me up. I love this place ......\n\nWho thinks that walking into a steakhouse between two large bananas........ located just off the casino floor .......\nis going to provide a gourmet brazilian experience????\nIt is the typical Vegas \""over the top\""  - \""over blown\"" dining experience.\n\nComparing the Samba to a traditional Churrascaria experience -\nis like comparing \""Phantom of the Opera\"" on Broadway to the Vegas production. \nThe Vegas production is great - but it is a \""VEGAS production.\"" \nThe Samba is fun but it is not really Churrascaria either ........\nit is the Vegasized version ......\n\nI love meat \nand this place provides you all the meat you can handle.\n\nThe side dishes are \""interesting\"" - but they should not take you away from the real reason you are here - the meat.\n\nI have been here four times and I am still not sure what to do with the creamed spinach  on the side ....\nThe drink selections are supurb ..... second only to the meat ! !\n\nI love the waiters - they are gracious and accommodating ...\n \nMy son dined with me and not quite being twenty one orders a margarita. The waiter asks to see ID........ \nAndrew says \""sure\"" and immediately pulls out his drivers license clearly stating he is not twenty one........\nWaiter says thanks and brings him the drink ..... \nI love these guys\n\nThe price seems right for an evening of dining enjoyment.\nThe one thing that does surprise me is how you seem to be removed from the casino atmosphere when you are dining ....... even though the gaming is taking place only a short distance away.\n\nThe bananas at the door should give you a clue\nTake the Samba for what it is - a \""vegas production\"" and enjoy.\nYou will have a great time.
