June 22, 2015 360 Vegas Review: Flamingo Hotel & Casino Spring 2013
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 consider the table limits, the low room rates
and having one of the best pools in Vegas, the Flamingo is the best option in
the market for the thrifty visitor.

June 09, 2015 360 Vegas Review: BLT Burger @Mirage Spring 2013
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.

May 09, 2015 360 Vegas Review: KGB @Harrah's Fall 2013
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 American idea of what Russia looks like.

April 25, 2015 360 Vegas Review: Nacho Daddy Spring 2014
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.
