    For my first "meal" in Vegas, my foodie friend and I split from our group and walked over to this…read moresmall bar area in the Grand Bazaar. There's a small kitchen area where the menu is and where you place your order. Cooks are viciously making the orders that others are placing, and you can hear the constant sizzling of hot dogs on their grills. They have bar seating on the other side along with a bunch of tables close by but they were all taken since it was prime dinner time at 7:30pm on The Strip and people were walking all around the area. We decided to eat over at a nearby taco joint in the end. Both of us got their D.U.I. Dog, which has pastrami, carne asada, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, a ton of cilantro and chipotle aioli (a mayonnaise kind of sauce). Very packed with flavor with all the meats inside, and the cheese melts so well inside the hot dog. They even put this inside a relatively big carton container, the same kind I've seen the staff put their D.U.I. Fries in... holy crap those are some huge portions! For $18 before tax though, this hot dog was already slightly massive for its size, at just about a foot long. Very nice start to a great time in Vegas! Also a great hot dog stand with immensely tasty dogs.

It's hard to find something that fits all those requirements on the Strip. They sell loaded hot dogs, fries, and cocktails. My favorites are the elote dog and DUI fries, and their cocktails are some of the best value for price. The Strip location is specifically outdoors and there's a decent amount of seating, but they can fill up quickly when it's busy. There's also a location inside the Showcase Mall if you'd prefer to sit indoors. I may be biased because I also love hot dogs, but I will definitely be back for more.

    WARNING! THESE MICHELADAS ARE DANGEROUS!!!!…read more I used to go to this local outdoor market place and pay an absurd amount of money for a chili salt rim, lime juice, and clamato juice. NEVER AGAIN I SAY, NEVER AGAIN!!!! EL GALLO DE SINALOA has single handedly reveresed engineered the way you would make a michelada! EL GALLO DE SINALOA Has micheladas for the whole family! If you like spicy I recommend the AGUACHILE Michelada it is my personal favorite because anything with spice makes my mouth water! you can also add some ceviche ON TOP OF THE MICHELADA in case you get hungry while you are enjoy that refreshing carbonated beverage with spice in you hand. If you have more of a sweet tooth I would go with LA NIÑA FRESA this strawberry michelada is Fire!! with the salty tamarind candy flavor mixed with that fresh strawberryness (I just made that word up). Before I realized it my drink was gone!! and was ready for another! ...or if you just want to keep it simple and live a boring life and like people telling you what to do. order the regular and you will not be ashamed or judged!

Imagine how excited I got when someone posted that it was on the SW area! I surprised my daughter by taking her here after school one day. This girl doesn't eat veggies, but she'll eat corn, elotes to be specific. There was no line when we showed up, but a few minutes after we ordered, people started to show up and formed a line. We brought a med bag of hot Cheetos and ordered the elotes with everything on it and a mango passion fruit aguas Fresca. Everything was DELICIOUS and worth every penny. Price point was great, I don't feel they're overcharging and you get a lot! IMO I would recommend bringing a small/med bag of chips. I think if you bring in a family size bag, it's going to be way too much, unless you can normally finish a bag that size in one sitting, otherwise it'll be a waste. Like in my case. We couldn't finish up all the hot Cheetos in the medium bag.

My favorite chip to get dressed up is the Flamin' Hot Cool Ranch Doritos, although I've done the Tapatio Doritos too and it was super good as well.

    I came across the Hot Mess food truck at the Tuff n Nuff MMA event at the South Point Hotel and…read moreCasino in July and was pleasantly surprised by the quality anf frsh taste of the food. At first I was hesitant to choose this truck as everyone else seemed to be going to some of the other trucks in the food court area. However the small (six items) had a few different choices that sounded good to me so I took the leap and was glad I did. The menu has a little Chinese, a bit of Mexican, some American and most items are a fusion of all three. Simone opted for the Thai Chicken Skewers, with Peanut Sauce and Spicy Cucumber Salad. While this was fairly basic it was also very good in its simplicity. Juicy marinated grilled thigh meat with mild peanut sauce. The cucumber salad was not overly hot but had just enough of a vinegary red pepper spicy kick. I ordered a Spicy Chino Burrito ( is it okay to say Chino?) A large grilled flour tortilla was stuffed generously with fired popcorn chicken, Chinese fried rice and a lightly sweetened orange soy glaze. Although the chicken was of the frozen variety it was perfectly crispy and the fried rice was loaded with veggies and egg and not over flavored with soy sauce as you may find in some of your more local Chinese places. To finish off the meal we had the very American Deep Fried Oreo, done perfectly with Tempura Batter. These were not at all greasy and the Oreo on the inside were still had a bit of that cookie crunch. They came in an order of three but they were so good we doubled up the order and got six. They were the perfect indulgence. I would suggest the Hot Mess if you are able to find it in Vegas. 4 stars.

    Friday, April 3, 2026, was my most recent visit, and, by far, my least favorite. It was the…read moresingular nightlife destination for high school kids from across the valley. They made up the vast majority of the turnout. This was easily confirmed by our visit to Modest Brewing Company, which only permitted entry to folks of drinking age. It had a normal amount of patronage, making it feel like being in the eye of the storm. Main Street was overcrowded along the entire stretch of the Arts District, between Bonneville Avenue on the north end, and Oakey Boulevard on the south end. Anyone age 21 or above will feel too old to be there, and therefore never return to this event. This effect will reinforce itself, such that the event has permanently shifted to the under-21 crowd. Consequently, bars will have a modest--no pun intended--revenue boost, at best, on the first Friday of each month. Not surprisingly, parking was a lost cause. So, we parked on the side streets near The STRAT. On the bright side, the double chocolate chip cookie I had from Cookies A'More was amazing. I also enjoyed the Waffles Belgian blonde ale at Modest Brewing; the Candy Bar Kiloton stout at Able Baker Brewing; and the Crispy Cauliflower Bánh Mì at Arts District Kitchen.
