There’s a lot of great stuff at the Linq pedestrian promenade<\/a>, but this isn’t that.<\/p>\n

This scam comes courtesy of Haute Doggery restaurant.<\/p>\n

Take a look at this eye-catching sign.<\/p>\n

\"Haute<\/a>
Awesome, right? Guess again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Old Vegas? Shrimp cocktail for a buck? We’re all over it!<\/p>\n

So, we stroll into Haute Doggery and order a $1 shrimp cocktail, at which point we’re asked, “Sure, which entree would you like?”<\/p>\n

“Just the $1 shrimp cocktail, thanks,” we naively say.<\/p>\n

Crickets.<\/p>\n

Come to find out, this offer is a scam. You can only get the $1 shrimp cocktail if you order an entree which can run from $5 for a plain hot dog to around $12 for a burger. See the menu.<\/p>\n

As our eye-rolling went into high gear, and headed for the door, we did note some small print on the sign, discernible to the human eye almost exclusively with a high-powered microscope.<\/p>\n

\"Haute<\/a>
Whether it’s a scam or just shady, neither of those things is good.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shame on you, Haute Doggery. You’re wasting everyone’s time while looking desperate, too.<\/p>\n

The secret to success in Las Vegas is providing a great product at a value. It’s not rocket science.<\/p>\n

\"Haute<\/a>
If it were “old Vegas,” this scam would result in someone’s head in a vice.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Update: One of our loyal Twitter followers, GrumpyCup<\/a>, passed along this take on the Haute Doggery sign and we think it’s spot-on.<\/p>\n
