VEGAS, BABY!! – The Foodie Tour – Hash House A Go-Go



Price: Affordable
Atmosphere: 4 out of 5
Quality of Service: 4 out of 5
Food Overall: 4 out of 5

This joint, located in the old (and dumpy) Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino on the LV Strip, is far from old and dumpy. The menu proclaims that this is ‘Farm fresh food all twisted up’, and that’s pretty much the case.

Catering to your favorite comfort eats, this place is the spot to stop and get your grind on for a great meal that’s well worth your hard earned slot machine winnings. Fresh veggies in a light vinaigrette, sage fried chicken and waffles, stacked to the sky and skewered with a nice sprig of rosemary…they’ve got something for everyone.

Me? I can be a simple creature when I want, so I opted for a 1 pound hamburger, stuffed with applewood smoked bacon and aged cheddar cheese and a side of fresh cut fries. This burger was massive, hanging off the bun and dripping its lovely medium rare goodness all over my plate and toasted bun.

It was basically two patties, mashed thin and wide, with the stuffing gently and generously loaded in between. Juicy, well seasoned…just a great burger. My wife had the meatloaf, which was brick-sized and slept on a pillow of creamy mashed potatoes, with a blanket of crimini mushroom gravy. Just another wonderful dish from this new discovery. Their mac and cheese was velvety and loaded with that rich, cheesy goodness you would expect from good ol’ comfort dining.

All in all? This was one of my favorite stops in Vegas. Everything from their signature dishes to their unique beverage selections (the kiwi-watermelon lemonade was ridiculously refreshing) makes this place a must try.

After all, it’s just Da(m)n Good Food.
