    I agree that In N Out is overrated. I grew up in Southern California, and it's just a normal burger place. If you want to try it just for the novelty idea, fine, but don't waste a whole meal there. Go for a snack and get a cheeseburger (like 300ish cals) and split a fry with someone. You'll get to taste it and still leave room for actually good stuff.

    According to their website, a cheeseburger is 480 kcals (400 if you substitute mustard and ketchup for "spread") and half of an order of fries is just shy of 200 kcals. I'm thinking for most people 680 kcals -- or even 600 kcals --
    is not a "snack."

    Ice pan! It’s the best ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. They literally make the ice cream in front of you - like what kind of milk do you want me to freeze into ice cream on my sub-zero ice plate while you watch? What fruits do you want smashed in? It’s amazing! If I recall, it’s at Harrahs near the tram stop entrance.

    3 burger joints that we don't have in Canada, In&Out Burger, Wahlburgers and Shake Shack. I love burgers.

    First time I had an In & Out burger, it blew my mind. But that was 30 years ago, and the world has moved on. When you can burgers served on handmade brioche buns and laced with foie gras, a place like I&O seems pretty ordinary. Ditto for 5G, Shake Shack, etc. If you want a genuine burger experience in Vegas, go find a place called "Truffles n Bacon".

    Vegas has tons of really fantastic food....Honey Salt, Andiron (same owners), Bazaar Meat (foie gras cotton candy, WTH!), Carnevino, Lotus of Siam, Hakkasan, Omelet House, Harvest, Flock and Fowl, Osaka, Echo & Rig, Portofino, Raku...really, the list goes on and on. You can't have that many zillionaires cycling through the town without having a lot of legit top flight food options! :smile:

    Oops, had a typo in that post. Meant split the cheeseburger and the fry. Also, just because someone orders something, doesn't mean they have to eat it all! IMO, their fries are garbage, so you'll eat a couple and toss the rest.

My husband does the most amazing burgers!

    Vegas has quite a bit of gourmet food, but they are expensive of course. Guy Savoy, Joel Robuchon, Twist, Le Cirque, Picasso, etc.

    I was able to make it to Wicked Spoon. The food was very very good. Good recommendation!
