Downtown Vegas Food Tour

Last year Melissa and I went on a celebrity food tour on the Strip.  We wanted to try another one, but we didn't love some of the options, so I went into planner mode and found a bunch of places for us to try that were all within walking distance.  In fact, we added a little extra walking to get our digestive systems going a bit more between restaurants.  We had 5 places planned but were defeated at the 4th location.  

First stop was 7th & Carson known for its brunch foods such as breakfast pizza and stuffed french toast.  Both were delicious, but we both loved the french toast the best - it's stuffed with a subtle lemon mascarpone that took it over the top.  

Second stop was CarsonKitchen.  The two items it was known for was Black Ox Tail Risotto and a Glazed Donut Bread Pudding. We liked both, but the risotto was delicious!  In fact, I think it's my favorite thing I ate the whole day.  The inside had a cool vibe as well.

Stop three took us to the main drag of downtown Vegas. It felt like we were inside a blow dryer is was so hot outside. Stop 3 was Dirt Dog known for its crazy hot dogs and loaded fries.  At this point we were really slowing down.  Originally we were going to order the Elote Dog and the Carne Asada fries, but we only ordered the Elote Dog.  It was delicious and a lot of fun.  We really needed a third or fourth person to split the food with.

While we were eating, Joel sent me a picture of the kiddos going out for brunch at the Shack.  It was nice to see their smiling faces. 

Our fourth stop was at Nacho Daddy.  Their loaded nachos are incredible.  We ordered the Thai Chicken Nachos.  I could only take a few bites, because I was so stuffed.  We never made it to the Pizza Rock, and honestly, we were so full from the tour we didn't even eat dinner that night.  I was full through the whole concert, but we really ate some awesome things that I would love to eat again.

We got dropped off further from where we were staying on the strip, so that we could walk for a while.  I wanted to show Melissa the cool decor in the Wynn.

It was hotter than Hades and some seriously depraved people on the streets, but it was still a lot fun.
