360 Vegas Review: Bazaar Meat @SLS Spring 2016

When the fabled Sahara casino closed its doors on May 16th 2011, many were sceptical as to whether new life would be breathed into this grande dame of the strip. Fast forward to August 23rd 2014 and SLS, a shiny white concept of ‘LA in the desert’, was born kicking and screaming into the world. Replete with Olympic mascot lookalike Sam, the shiny silver cyclops welcomed the non-existent foot traffic to the property. Would SLS succeed? Or would it be buzzed off stage faster than Tony Snyder at an America’s got talent audition.
The jewel in the dining crown at SLS was ‘James Beard Award-winning chef’ Jose Andres’ Bazaar Meat. Already a known quantity in Las Vegas through his presence at The Cosmopolitan with Jaleo, e and China Poblano, expectations were high. Fortunately, whilst the rest of SLS seemed to struggle with stores, restaurants and casino layouts coming and going, Bazaar Meat built a solid and growing reputation.
After reading a glowing recommendation in a magazine (but not listening to the constant verbal love fest that Alastair has been having with the place), Keren finally decided to head out to the wasteland of north strip to discover the truth for herself

360 Vegas Review: Giada's @Cromwell Spring 2016

Okay, she’s hot. No one is going to argue that. She is also Italian so the odds of her being batshit crazy is also pretty probable. All those things aside, this women couldn’t have gotten famous as a chef if she wasn’t actually good at it to begin with; right. Well this is her first restaurant ever anywhere so if you want first hand knowledge, here's your chance
Giada’s is Cromwell’s only dining option and it is brilliantly located on the 2nd floor, basically in the same spot the famous Barbary Coast/Bill’s cascading neon signage formerly resided. As has become the newest fade in Vegas, that this show can’t encourage enough, it offers outdoor dining, right on the strip…well, elevated above the strip.
The restaurant is described as Italian cuisine with refreshing California influences. To encourage perfect pronunciation, the menu phonetically spells out how to pronounce bastardized words like Spaghetti and Rigatoni. But let’s not focus on the pretentious and let's get to the f

360 Vegas Review: Broadway Burger @NYNY Spring 2016

It’s a burger, right? Sure, some are better than others but how do you justifying charging $10-20 for it. Well, once you taste it, you’ll understand why. Apparently there really is such a thing as a gourmet burger and Broadway Burger is a good example of one.
You wouldn’t expect much from a restaurant with a name that fits the theme of the hotel/casino it resides in but you would be wrong to overlook this experience. Broadway Burger showcases the concept that the whole is more than the sum of it’s parts because, while each element is well taken care of, the combination is something special.
While the concept isn’t new the simplicity of their build a burger is something to be enjoyed, appearing to be inspired by the Chipotle concept, if only in menu layout. Pick your protein, cheese, veggies, meats and even fry styles. I know your listening to this and thinking, lots of people do this, it isn’t anything new. Let me assure you, Broadway Burger doesn’t do burgers like everyone else does.

360 Vegas Review: Hash House A Go Go @Plaza Spring 2016
Sunday Dec 04, 2016
Sunday Dec 04, 2016
In a city known for excess, the idea of a restaurant who’s entire concept is gigantic portions of food seems like a no brainer. Hash House A Go Go has made that their thing and they’ve been so successful at it that they’ve got a location on the strip at LINQ, Off Strip at Rio, Downtown at Plaza, a Reno spot and 2 for the Vegas locals. However you might be surprised to know, Hash House didn’t start in Vegas, it stated in San Diego California. Now they have locations in Illinois, Connecticut, Florida and Texas as well as the aforementioned.
Twisted Farm Food is how they describe their food. A Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato sandwich, waffles with either bacon or sausage inside and a one pound burger are just a few examples of the delicious excess that can be ordered at Hash House A Go Go. But do huge portions of familiar favorites equal a quality food experience? Let's discuss.

360 Vegas Review: Hugo's Cellar @4 Queens Spring 2016

The Four Queens isn't exactly where you would think of when you think of an evening of fine dining on Fremont St. Never heard of Hugo's Cellar? Don’t be surprised. It’s literally in the basement of the property. It’s probably the best place to eat at 4 Queens but the fact that I had to use the word says something but that isn’t saying much in a place with only 3 places to eat and one is a coffee shop.
It’s described as one of those places that capture the “old school ambiance” of high end dining in Vegas. Each woman receives a rose, the sommelier visits each table to help find the perfect wine to pair with your meal and even the salad is prepared table side, a la cart. Charm, wit and customer service served in small portions are all apart of the dining experience at Hugo’s Cellar. In a word, romantic.
