Nook, which is a 24-hr spot to get food and drinks, is located in the Linq. It's convenient for late night or very early eats, but unfortunately my family and I felt we were disrespected.
We wanted a lighter breakfast so we shared a couple of bagels and a French toast muffin. My sister-in-law got a mocha. I don't know where they get their pastries from, but the French toast muffin was pretty good. It seems it was soaked in maple syrup and it had sugar crystals on the top. Though decadent, it wasn't overly sweet. I'm glad I shared it though because eating the whole thing would've been heavy. The bagels were standard. The mocha was more on the hot chocolate side, so an imbalance there.
What made us feel disrespected was that no one was behind us in line. Yet, my sister, mother, and I felt rushed to place our order. However, when it was my lighter skinned sister-in-law's turn to place her order, the employee took the time to chat her up.
When I paid for everyone's order, the cashier said I had to answer a question first before paying. After I did, I tried to use Apple Pay, but the machine wouldn't let it go through. Clearly annoyed, she said it was because I didn't answer the first question, when I did. It turned out the machine asked me to punch in my number, including the expiry date and security code. I'll have to monitor my accounts heavily the next few days because I'm not sure why the machine wanted that info.
Nook is located in a heavily trafficked and narrow area at the back of the casino. There are a few bar tables and stools across from it.
I know food service is stressful, especially in an area like that where there's people constantly moving. But it was clear that only my sister-in-law's patronage was appreciated. I'd probably only go back if I was staying at the Linq and needed to eat/drink.
