Gordon Ramsay should be ashamed

For the Gentleman Farmer?

Cheers!

 

Don't really care about either, just pointing out a named celebrity restaurant in a very touristy/entertainment focused town will be incredibly expensive (Vegas has restaurants from both celebrity chefs/personalities), for me personally, I avoid those places, in favor of trying something more "off the beaten path" as they say. I haven't been to Vegas, but it wouldn't be hard for me to find something else I would enjoy.

 

Just went to Vegas with the fam for spring break. All the places on the strip or in casinos have inflated prices.

the best food and beer we had was at skinnyfats which is also connected to beer zombies brewery. Skinnyfats was really good.

 

I ate comped at two of his locations (Caesars - Fish and Chips and a burger at PHo) and they were average at best, substandard for the price people pay for it. Caesars is really the nut low on the Strip between their staffing cutbacks, dining options and property maintenance.

We have a solid Las Vegas trip thread in the Pacific regional folder if you are interested in finding out about the Vegas craft beer / craft bar scene.

If you are not keen on venturing too far off the Strip, I suggest hitting Front Yard at Ellis Island for dining and craft beer. You'll get a better burger at a better price at Moon Palace at the Wynn. Hell, In N Out on the Linq Promenade is a better option, IMO. Would also consider Peppermill further North on the Strip, somewhat pricey but a much better experience than a GR outing.

If you are considering going beyond the Strip, Aces and Ales has a great craft menu and good food, Pizza Rock great food and typically decent craft beer options (hit HH 3-6 weekdays) and Able Baker has solid dining and beer options in the Arts District.

Can help with anything else Vegas wise, PM if you have any questions.

The Strip is an overpriced tourist trap, but there are many good food and craft beer options throughout the Vegas Valley.

There should be riots in the streets due to the fact taxpayers fund most American sports stadiums on behalf of their billionaire owners. The crappy concession prices is merely icing on the cake.

This had a lot of truth until the obliteration of conventions the past two years. Strip casino pricing is high primarily because of tourist location, and also due to the fact many customers pay via earned gambling comps. I would peg a majority of business account meals to occur at better quality restaurants at the Wynn, Venetian, Cosmopolitan and other higher end casinos and restaurants. Caesars Palace is really the only somewhat high end casino El Dorado owns (above 2-3 out of 5 stars).

 

I know his entire persona is a product in and of itself now. Though I remember one old UK episode that I liked, he was at a pub/restaurant with real ale (I think I remember seeing the hand pumps in the background shots, but its been a while since I watch it). He did a cute marketing thing, when improving the gravy. He made the Campaign for Real Gravy, obviously a riff off CAMRA. I thought that was fun ha.

 

Same can be said for Disney. A captive clientele with food & drink prices that are extortionary.

 

As general manager, sales manager, and salesman for our company back in the early 00s, a supplier offered Vegas trips as an incentive and, knowing my crew very well, they would not have been too incentivized. He came up with other ideas. Las Vegas really doesn't appeal to everyone.

 

That is always the first episode I think of when I remember that show. Loved that episode!

 

What’s the answer most commonly given for
______-a-doodle-doo?

 

Yep, he should be ashamed. Nothing quality? And even if it was we're talking probably another$20 pint. Ouch.

 

Lol. The 7 dirty words.

 

Here's the actual prices, if you're interested.

The servings are not US pints, but 20 oz and 35 oz (or ~1 Imperial pint and ~1 Liter).

 

Go to a MLB game you can pay $13-$15 for a Bud or a 312....

 

Just dropped $27 for a Corona for my friend and a Bell's Official @ the arena Saturday. I'm fine with that...$60.00 to park (next to the venue, no affiliation to said arena) however I have a bigger ass ache with, at least tell me these employees are getting good health care, 401K and the kids get a free ride through college thanks to my $60.
As to the OP, corporate beer will always have the strangle hold, like most things that become subjugated and mass produced, the man will push his shitty product to the masses and tell them that's what there is...because they've marginalized and eliminated your choices based on what they control, again in ALL things. Anything good you have to hunt for, been that way forever.

 

Shut your dirty mouth. Clarkson is a saint.

 

May be why he is a chef and not a brewer.

Generally the closest opposing team’s player’s head.

 

I absolutely love Vegas, go every couple of months. One of my favorite places for sure. That being said if you don’t gamble it’s a huge trap in terms of food and beverage prices. If you do gamble, food and bev can be essentially fully comped if you do it right. A big part of the Vegas game is optimizing comps. If you are cash paying drinks you will pay a fortune almost everywhere that’s not divey or local (not that i ever mind divey or local but different conversation). Food too, last trip we left the place where we hve all the comps to grab some to go burgers at this little take out burger place we love and two burgers and one this of regular fries were legit $55. It’s the way of sun city.

All that being said I do actually agree with you, I’d never pay $11 for an AAL.

 

Those prices actually aren’t terrible, especially if I compare them to prices around here in Boston.

Did gravy come out of the hand pumps?

 

Captive Audience. Just like $5 water at Hershey Park.
