Just got back from a two day trip to Las Vegas. Trip was made to see Craig Ferguson, which was great. I scheduled a full day on either side, which turned out to be too long for us. We ran out of things to easily do on the second day early, and then had to waste time until the evening flight.
On this trip food was interesting and varied. I always try to avoid chains when I travel, but will visit ones that aren't local to me or those that I never visit. That said, here's two days of my eats:
Breakfast- only breakfast food place we could find open and not swarmed with people was Smashburger. I had a Egg, Bacon, and cheese sandwich. Very good, with a few kinds of cheese on it.
Lunch- I had made a reservation months ahead so we could eat a Gida's. I had the Turkey Panino, and their weird version of an Arnold Palmer. I had some marinaded olives as an appetizer, which were unique and very un-olive like. It was a good portion for two or three people to eat, too much for one. Loved the sandwich. The drink had muddled strawberries in it. OK, but would rather have had a simple AP, in a much larger portion. The windows were open, which let in a cool breeze, but also loud cars and emergency vehicle sirens.
Dinner- after the show I went to Pinks and grabbed a hot dog and then to the Earl of Sandwich where I got a tuna melt that I ate the next day for breakfast.
Day 2
Breakfast- as mentioned above, a tuna melt from earl of sandwich out of the fridge in the room. Love Earl's tuna melt, I get it almost every time I'm in Vegas
Lunch- Shake Shack. I wasn't too hungry yet, so had fries and a black and white malted shake. I prefer a vanilla shake with chocolate syrup added. Never knew there was a name for it. Good fries too.
Then I started drinking.
Mojito and a Cuba Libre at Casa Fuente
A Unita Dubhe Imperial Black IPA and a strawberry Moscow Mule with a plate of mini lobster tacos at Vice-Versa. Good sized chunks of lobster on the tacos. Not bad, but anytime lobster is mentioned, too expensive.
Shreaded pork nachos at some Mexican bar at the airport with a Crabbies original alcoholic ginger beer. Good pork and chips, cheese was really bad.
