Blondies is a popular sports bar at the Miracle Mile Shops, across the floor from the V Theater (follow those signs). Its relevance from our perspective is the breakfast special served 7-11 a.m. daily.
For $5.95, it comes with two big eggs, two slices of bacon, and a mess of honest-to-goodness home fries (not hash browns) with green pepper and purple onions. Even without toast, this is an excellent morning repast anywhere for the price, but on the Strip, it’s unsurpassed. (La Salsa Cantina across the way also has a good special; it’s $6.95 and comes with tortillas.)
On the day we visited, a Wednesday, we walked right in around 7:45. The hostess set up at her stand out front at 8 and it started getting crowded around 9. But if you want to sit at the 16-seat counter up front, you can just walk right in and sit right down; the bartender takes your order and serves you.
Two caveats. First, be careful of the drinks. Coffee alone will double the price. Second, everyone gets an hour of parking for free. You can make it in and out in an hour, but only if you get there early. By the time we left around 9, the wait was already 20 minutes long, as you can see in the photo. There’s no sense in paying $18 (Mon.-Thurs.) or especially $23 (Fri.-Sun.) for a $5.95 meal. Unless you’re hoofing it, with parking and coffee, this $5.95 breakfast is $27 weekdays and $35 weekends!
Great adder for “good eats cheap on the strip” Deke. A true rarity.

Why bother paying $18+ to park for a few hours, when you can buy an RTC day pass for just $8?
Because, as most people realize, driving a personal car is incredibly convenient. And since 4-5 people can ride in most cars, that quickly becomes more affordable that spending $32-$40 for 4-5 bus passes.
