360 Vegas

It’s steak, the pinnacle of protein.  Ask anyone what they would want for their final meal before shifting off this mortal coil and 100% of the time they’ll answer steak, and if they don’t, they’re gay.  What! Gay people are awesome and love them so tube steak so that does work.  They’re Hitler.  Right, no one likes Hitler.  Whatever, its steak and its goooood. This time around, Michael Mina steps up to the plate to see if he can impress our pallet and dethrone STK, which I totally agree is the best steak in Vegas. But who is this Michael Mina guy.  Well, he’s a James Beard winner, whatever that means, as well as being declared chef and restaurateur of year multiple times from multiple people, what-evs.  He’s got 18 restaurants in the US and 4 in Vegas.  We tried Strip Steak at Mandalay Bay

It's almost unfair. Because Vegas has so many dining options that are stellar, good just isn't good enough. In fact good can often be considered bad. That very well might be the case with Center Cut at Flamingo.   Unarguably the nicest space in the property, Center Cut's decor congers up memories of Tender @ Luxor. The vibe and the fact that they both serve steak is unfortunately where the comparison ends. Despite enjoying virtually everything else the property has to offer, Flamingo has given us a rather remarkable streak of disappointing dining experiences.  Center cut would did not buck that trend.

Palms invented the Vegas nightclub.  Posh, over-the-top environments where the beautiful people congregate to see and be seen.  Many mocked the financial viability of creating a diversion that keeps people from gambling for extended periods of time.  Not only did Maloof prove them wrong, he did it so well, it drew people away from the strip at night. Now, nightclubs are one of the most profitable amenities Vegas properties offer. Eventually, as happens so many times in Vegas, the idea was replicated all over the strip and is now another Vegas staple.  They’ve become so popular that it gave birth to the idea of day clubs.  Despite breathtaking views of the strip from the top of their towers, Palms are no longer a major player in the game they invented.  That brings us to the present The clubs that once caused long lines nightly, advertising exclusivity have become displaced in the market.  Retheming and renovations are underway in an attempt to return to glory but his has them in a period of transition. 

It's finally here.  Enjoy our misadventures from #360VegasVacation2 while recall and learn about them for the first time.

The Flamingo. The property that changed everything. The 3rd hotel/casino built on highway 91 introduced luxury to it.  It created one of the cities most famous, all be it the most inaccurate, story of a mobsters involvement in a casino and made Bugsy Segal the cities unofficial father of the strip.    The Flamingo has grown and expanded to the point that its original exterior design is unrecognizable in its current incarnation. It's said that virtually nothing remains from the original construction however stories of found hidden underground tunnels and bullet proof rooms live on in order to keep the legend of Bugsy alive.  While it is true that the Flamingo has fallen all the way to the low end of the market, it has outlived many properties that came after it including icons like the Sands, the Dunes & the Desert Inn.   Standing as proof that location, along with a well run property that adapts to its environment and evolves to cater to it, is truly how you survive in the implosion era.  When you con

In 2008, 4 years after Roy Horn was attacked by a tiger and their show ended, the Mirage decided that it made little sense to have a tiger habitat taking up prime real estate in their property.  Enter ESquared hospitality and their BLT brand of restaurants. Vegas is a city constantly evolving and experimenting.  When trends prove to be successful, they tend to become waves that wash over the strip, changing the landscape.  Right now, we are coming towards the end of the pizza place wave and are currently in the midst of the retail revolution.  BLT burger started the gourmet burger places evolution into a requirement at a quality Vegas property. BLT’s modern space, unique burger offerings, large beer on tap & spiked milkshake selection are all part of the template each property uses when building their burger place.  Into their 6th year on the strip, BLT Burger is still considered one of the best in Vegas.

Illinois native Kerry Simon made a name for himself as the executive chef at the landmark Plaza Hotel in New York.  Two years into the job, Rolling Stone named him the “Rock n Roll Chef” as well as one of the top personalities in 1991. Continuing to grow his fame, he’s made appears both as a challenger and a judge on Iron Chef as well as Hell’s Kitchen.  In 2002, Kerry entered the Las Vegas market when he opened Simon Kitchen & Bar at the Hard Rock.  That establishment was listed as one of America’s best new restaurants by Esquire magazine.   His footprint in the market has grown since then Considering that the one time he won as a challenger on Iron Chef was the hamburger challenge, it only made sense that this first restaurant on the Vegas strip would be a burger joint.  In 2010, Kerry opened Kerry’s Gourmet Burger, or KGB, at Harrah’s. As one would expect with the name, the theme of the place is Russian. The space and décor is set to look like you would imagine Russia looks like, at least the Ameri

Nacho Daddy is perhaps the greatest idea in the history of culinary invention.  Take any food concept you love, deconstruct and recreate the experience then remove the bread and replace it with a bed crispy, salty tortilla chips.  You don’t need Will Hunting to tell you that the answer to that equation equals exquisite dining.   Buffalo chicken, cheeseburger, spicy shrimp, Filet Minion… yeah, I know.  Take a second to collect yourself.  Okay, lets proceed…TO BREAKFAST!  Chorizo, chicken fried steak…okay, enough.  I can’t stand it.  It’s amazing.  Just go to the audio.
