Heard it was a major "Smoke Pit'':shrug:
Walked past "Heart attack grill" on Fremont...350+ pound people eat free...waitress's dressed as nurses, customers down a hospital gown.....
"The establishment is a hospital theme restaurant: waitresses ("nurses") take orders ("prescriptions") from the customers ("patients"). A tag is wrapped on the patient's wrist showing which foods they order and a "doctor" examines the "patients" with a stethoscope. The menu includes "Single", "Double", "Triple", and "Quadruple Bypass" hamburgers,[1] ranging from 8 to 32 ounces (230 to 910 g) of beef (up to about 8,000 calories), all-you-can-eat "Flatliner Fries" (cooked in pure lard), beer and tequila, and soft drinks such as Jolt and Mexican-bottled Coca-Cola made with real sugar.[2] Customers over 350 lb (160 kg) in weight eat for free if they weigh in with a doctor or nurse before each burger. Beverages and to-go orders are excluded and sharing food is also not allowed for the free food deal.[3]
THE PLACE WAS PACKED< WITH A WAIT LIST....:facepalm:

Glad you enjoyed....the sushi chefs are great people....nevermind that it is so reasonable... to me it blows anything away on the strip (Nobu, Sushi Samba, Blue Fish, etc)
Have u tried the Jazz Brunch at the WYNN on the weekends? It around $55 per person but it is unreal! It may sound funny but I think it very reasonable for what you get.....
realize off beaten path but you mentioned u make it to LA sometimes... if so try a sushi place called Hama in the Venice Circle. Its a locals place very chill... they have a large projector of surf movies playing the whole time... GREAT sushi
This place is phenomenal. On some trips I go to that strip mall to get some Korean BBQ (which is 24 hours), but this time I wandered into El Gordo.
It's a great find if you are staying on the northern part of the strip! :toast:
Food truck and novel "condo" idea
Food truck and novel "condo" idea
Vegas has tons of "food trucks".
Wonder meals on wheels....
Was out and hungry for a quick meal stumbled into "dragon grill" corner of Sahara and Ft Apache.
$5.00 netted a big bowl of sticky rice, grilled chicken and 5 different home made sauces.....really filling and worth the stop.
It was owned by 2 ex-Imperial palace dealers, they got burned out and the tips were drying up with the lack of tourists fat bankrolls.
These vehicles are all over the west side and near north side almost everyday with something for everyone....
We parked in the shade by an empty for lease building.
When we were finished I was ready to pitch the leftovers in the brick dumpster next door.
I noticed the 3 brick sided 6 foot tall "dumpster" had chain link across the top and had a pad locked "gate". Peering inside, someone had fitted a queen bed, covers, a nite stand, dresser, and old carpeting. Had a bucket in the corner for serious business when the "speedy mart" was closed.
All that was missing was a 300 foot extension cord, running water and an address.
It was vacant, figure he or she was at their day job pan-handling on Decatur.:lol:
Last Vegas post.....on the road back to Okie-land Saturday; been a fun year again.

agree the taco place is good. got the spicy pork as asked about the beef and they said it was beef tongue, just could not make myself order it but probably is great.
not much english spoken here but they can understand enough to get your order right.

Have you ever tried the KGB Burger in Harra's? The Burgers were 12 - 15 with players card, I balked at the price at first but I must say it was the best burger I had, it melt in your mouth and the other's who joined me agreed
On my last stay in August, was disappointed by the buffet at the Palms.
Long-line (took 45 mins to get to the cashier, then they were out of plates for 15 mins)
Food very pedestrian. Shrimp bland, crab legs tasted like something you'd get frozen at Walmart.
Never again but that's just me.
