Shin, I work at the wynn/encore and as a dealer, at least once a week I get put in a pit that faces this slot machine with an advertisement screen over it. I keep watching the video for Casa Playa at Encore and the food looks amazing, I would love to see you review that. They consider it costal Mexican food. There's this dish that looks like a group dish of bacon or really thick pork that they put on a skewer with mini pineapple put on top and you cut off pieces. Please add this place to your list.
If it's on the strip it'll be on the channel eventually. Haven't eaten at a Wynn/Encore restaurant in a while. Maybe Casa Playa is the one to try soon. Thanks for watching and if you spot me on the casino floor, please say hi!
Thank you Shin for a fast turnaround review for Luckley Tavern! Luckley Tavern opened a little more than a week ago from the release of this video, it was under construction/renovation for the past 4 months. I am really glad to see that you enjoyed most of what you've had there! I cannot wait to try it myself on my next possible trip to Vegas. I was a bit surprised you were given the Lunch menu, but I agree with you that the choices are solid. The two showcase entities at Luckley Tavern are on the Dinner menu: the 32 oz Tomahawk Steak (probably for 2-4 people) and the Ice Cream Sundae Cart for Dessert. This review is more than I can ever ask for, thanks again Shin for another great food review!
I didn't really they had a separate lunch and dinner menu given they opened at 5pm. I got there around 4:30 thinking it would be open but I ended up playing slots for half an hour to kill time. Thanks for watching!
This video was amazing and encouraged us to have dinner there. We had dinner there tonight abd it was fabulous. We mentioned your wonderful review to the server and manager as that was what brought us in. Thanks for the great channel, Shin !!!
Lots of music I grew up listening to. I wish alternative rock made a come back. I don't think we've had a new alt rock band hit it big in a long time. Thanks for watching!
I'm in the process of planning our first trip to Vegas and came across your videos. I absolutely love how engaging you are and the honesty of your reviews. I have found several other regular reviewers of the Las Vegas food scene (many you have made videos with and have mentioned in your videos) but yours are by far my favorites. Keep up the great work!!
Glad to see the "new" Rio opening competitive eating establishments. Also, the prices seemed very reasonable. I know the Rio is off Strip, but still. Great review.
All the food looks so good. I would totally get the tomato soup with grilled cheese and the lobster pot pie looks very interesting. I love banana pudding so I would get that as well.
Another great review...just a tiny few misses but overall delicious looking choices...that lobster pot pie sold me 🤗🙊...have a great weekend, til Tues!!! 😘🤗❤
I'm SO glad you went to Luckley! You know a place can't be bad if they do grilled cheese and tomato soup right! Also, I need lobster gravy to become a thing now. Great video!!
Some smart dishes on this menu! Makes me interested enough to make a trip off strip! Having tomato soup WITH Grilled Cheese is pretty genius! _Snacks_ had tomato soup and tomato grilled cheese but you had to order them separately for $23. The lobster pot pie is another draw and looked delicious. Scallops got my interest too. Another great video Shin!
Food looks petty solid and mostly reasonable but the wings, chicken, and pot pie seem on the high side given that this looks like a fairly casual restaurant
I am so glad to see that the Rio is doing better now and that it has a good restaurant. All the food looked great except for those sorry little overcooked sliders. If I am ever in the area and hungry I would definitely go there! Thanks for another great review Shin. Looking forward to Tuesday!
I agree! I think Dreamscape is doing a great job so far with their refresh of the Rio. I'm hoping there's more good things to come. Thanks for watching Diane!
I’ve never seen anything like that Tuna Pizzacker appetizer before, but I’m glad you enjoyed it. Man, I haven’t treated myself to a nice restaurant in a good while, and watching this makes me wanna schedule up. 😋
Damn Shin ! You got so smart with food and food preparation . Good job buddy ! Always love what you do ! Thanks for being so cool and bringing me with you . Wife and I can’t wait for Vegas in September !
Hi LVWS! I met you through DVW. I'm a sub and i would like to tell you that you do an excellent job in your description of texture and flavor. Thanks for sharing this video.❤
Wow, Shin, this actually looked really good! I'm really rooting for Rio's comeback, and this looks like it's a fantastic addition 🎉. Also, i have commented since you were at only a couple thousand subscribers, but i'm still watching religiously 😊
I'm also rooting for the Rio's comeback and so far, so good. I like what Dreamscape is doing. I thank you very much for the years of support! Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin! Another great review. Looks like a great place for a casual meal. Glad you’re feeling better. 😀 Your food descriptions are amazing. I look forward to both your videos every week.
Shin, another great video. That tuna pizza is interesting. I grew up in Germany, eating tuna pizza in authentic Italian restaurants. They have a Pizza Tono. Which is a tomato and cheese pizza with canned tuna, and usually has thinly sliced onions on top as well. So looks nothing like the one you had. But I like sushi, so I just know I would have enjoyed it very much. That pot pie looked good as well. Looking forward to your next video.
Overall, the food presentation was very good. The dishes looked amazing and delicious. If the Luckley Manager watches your video, he might relay the hints back to the chefs, hopefully.
Happy to help! Genuinely that's one of the biggest reasons I do what I do so fewer people get shocked during their Vegas trip and just get shocked before while watching the video. Thanks for watching!
Thanx for the review! Staying at the Rio for a week in August. Stayed in the past . Strip is getting out of control with prices ! All remodeled and even the pool area . Will check this eatery out while thier . Don't know if we will dine thier but ....we have are own dinner spots of strip ,cheaper great places and no parking fees ! Thanx!! Cheers... ❤
I'm starting to really like the Rio. I've been by twice recently for their food hall and now Luckley and I think Dreamscape is doing a good job with the refresh so far. I'm looking forward to the final product. I hope you have a great trip this August! Thanks for watching!
Thanks again for ordering so many dishes! Everything looked good. Have you been to Matiki Hawaiian BBQ, I believe in Henderson. My daughter went today and said it was awesome. Sue
I have Matiki on my spreadsheet to try. I hear they have great beef ribs which I love so I'm looking forward to that one. That sounds good. Maybe I'll push it up in the schedule. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin She got a rib plate, side of short ribs and spam musubi $32! 5 beef ribs on the plate, so reasonable. Her Uber driver was from Hi and said it’s one of the best! Your $$ will go far here! She got there right at 11 when they open. Can’t wait to see what you order! 😋
Thank you very much! I'm not opposed to it, but collabs are going to be few and far between. As TH-cam is just a hobby for me, I have a lot of other obligations also so timing a collab as opposed to slotting in a filming for a video when my schedule allows is tougher but I'd certainly like to shoot with DtM. One of these days perhaps. Thanks for watching!
I feel like you should do a supplement video on how well leftovers from each restaurant review held up, how you heated it an how did it taste second time around.
I only have so much time I've set aside for TH-cam in a week and it's already 20+ hours as is. This is just a hobby and I have a lot of other priorities that would make adding two more videos a week impossible. Thanks for watching!
im glad to see Rio being brought back to a lively casino, i would have a pepper corn steak at a higher floor back then, good times a coming again! shin, you can always ask how well you want the bun toasted,after all, you are willing to pay...
Yeah it's nice seeing the Rio start to shape up. Dreamscape is doing well in my eyes so far. I typically just let the kitchen take the wheel because most patrons probably don't specify that much. Thanks for watching!
I wish I had eaten at the All American prior to its closing so I could have had some better commentary in regards to comparing and contrasting prior to eating at Luckley's. Good to hear the some menu items made their way over. Thanks for watching!
On the surface the prices look expensive, but considering value is a relative term (what you get over what you pay)..........the prices for what are essentially premium entrees like lobster pot pie and New York steak actually look pretty fair relative to the prices you usually see presently in most places on the Strip, while the overall food quality is also better than what you'd find at most cheaper joints like, say, Village Cafe At Ellis Island and Grand Luxe Cafe. Is it a cheap meal? Of course not. But in terms of value and quality, Luckley Tavern seems like a great balance of both. I'll have to check this out soon! 🙂
I always have buttloads of leftovers (outside of like, buffet restaurants of course). Usually I eat for about 3 days per video I create. Thanks for watching!
Hey your videos are great. I realized you haven't done one at Best Friend at park MGM. My friend is telling me we have to go there for our trip later this year. I would feel much more comfortable if I watched your review first. Any chance that could be in the works?
I'm realizing I haven't done a single restaurant at the Park MGM yet. Best Friend sounds like a good start. I'll check it out soon-ish. Thanks for watching!
I'm actually glad to hear your review instead of hearing all the crunching. And what other food bloggers do? They, you hear their mouth in the the crunch of their mouth and it just sounds Disgusting. So I think you were keeping it that way.
I skip it for video pacing. I just figure people don't need to watch me chew for 10-30 seconds. But that's a good note about the sound. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin, Nice review! Maybe Luckley Tavern should be called Lucky Tavern since it's in Las Vegas. By the way, would Broccolini happen to be Broccoli's little brother? Is it better than Broccoli?
Please comment about noise levels for each vid, it's very important to me. I can't do mind-numbing levels of background music, I had to click off the vid because of that and cross it off my list
I could but I think by the time I did, you'd already be well aware of what the music will be like in the restaurant. I don't think I'll be changing my style of video to announce the noise level before I start the review. Thanks for watching!
I'll honestly say, if I ever go to the Rio to play or meet up with friends or something, I would get that tomato soup and grilled cheese every time. Thanks for watching!
unless they add bartop games and more TV's around the bar it won't last, food looks good at fair prices but they need to embrace a local bar vibe, ie bartop VP
Yikes $40 for a half chicken? I think I would skip that one and opt for Sam’s club rotisserie HUGE, whole, Chicken for $4.98. It’s the best chicken. I was impressed with the pot pie using real puffed pastry so that is a win as well as a few other meals. But, the giant plants with small portions were kind of off putting especially the steak with the blood pooling to the sides of the plate. Not appetizing at all. Thanks for the video.
It wasn't enormous but I wouldn't classify it as small. Pricey for sure though. The chicken, as mentioned in the video, I just love my jumbo big wing so lollipop wings are cool for the technique, but give me some fat wings lol. Thanks for watching!
VWS: Definitely a Food Crime scene with overpriced Food. I guess someone has to pay for the renovations. But $18 sliders , $16 Tomato Soup, $40 Chicken ( I get one at Costco for $5 guess those vegetables had some gold in them lol), $39 Flank Steak SMH and final rip off the $10 frozen out of a bag onion rings. But admittedly the food looked tasty and well executed but I guess with the great economy ( Thank you President Biden) Vegas will continue charging outrageous prices. Anywho see you Tuesday Peace out ✌️ ☮️ . Btw I had a hearty laugh with the Bananna Pudding description as NYC's Finest. Thought Bananna Pudding was more of a Southern thing !! And Katerine was a doll too.
Thanks Biden for record high inflation ( the real reason restaurant prices are high), 2 wars that literally could end the world, huge budget deficits, a literal invasion at the southern border( huge consequences to come) , record national debt, most divisive president ever, unaffordable housing, highest credit card debt ever, American dream out of reach for many, embarrassment every time he tries to speak, and more taxes and regulation! There’s paragraphs more that could be said of this administration of misfits!
Tasty food but a definite price spike for the Rio. Honestly though, I'd pay $16 for the tomato soup and grilled cheese again without hesitation. Thanks for watching Al!
@algernon5776 totally get that. Someone else mentioned that a cup of soup and grilled cheese at the Mirage Snacks restaurant was $23 lol. I guess I was thinking more from those terms
@VegaswithShin Out of control lol. I understand it is chef'ed up but $23 seriously. Did they fly in the cheese from Switzerland 🇨🇭? Lol. But your reviews are excellent and you provide alternatives like the $24 AYCE Hotpot, what a deal
I’m so glad that I cook grill & BBQ my own food at Home ✅😎 my wife also Bakes & makes delicious dishes. I’m the BBQ Master in my Backyard. All my food is at least 1/2 $$ or 1/3rd the $$ of Restaurants. And it’s way better 100%. Thank you so much Shin ❤. You Are a Great Food Reviewer 🥂😎⭐️. Man!!!! Stay Cool & Inside. It must be so hot in Vegas. 😢. Take Care Brother
Lol, they don't remove it per say. They sever the tendon where it meets the ankle and push the meat up so you a clean bone to hold but it's the same amount of meat. Thanks for watching!
Ate at Luckily last week and most likely will not return. First off, the very loud up tempo rock music is far from what a dinner venue should have. You can not carry on a normal conversation. I could not even hear the waitress. The music is more appropriate for a nightclub at midnight, not a 5 p.m. meal. They need better, more calm dinner music. I ordered a salad and prime rib (from the prix fixe menu). The food was delivered at the same time, clearly rushing me. I sent the main course back. Once it was delivered it was overcooked and not warm. Disaster.
I actually grew up with a lot of the music they were playing so I really enjoyed it but it was loud. If they turned it down slightly, I'd prefer it but it's also directly on the casino floor so I understand why they would blast the music to separate the space audio wise. Thanks for watching!

Shin, looks like you made some great selections. Scallops Benedict? What a cool idea. I bet a Shrimp pot pie could work as well.
I liked the idea of it and it was good. I would definitely try a shrimp pot pie. Thanks for watching!
The real star in this video is the music playlist… JAMMIN!!!!
Lots of music I grew up listening to. I wish alternative rock made a come back. I don't think we've had a new alt rock band hit it big in a long time. Thanks for watching!
Your commentary always keep my attention. You’re an amazing food reviewer/host in general. Thank you so much for uploading so frequently, shin!
Shin could write the text for the dishes.
@@shqa574 do you mean the name of the dish and then the description when he eats it?
I'm happy to hear my style works for you! Thanks for watching!
Yes 👍 I believe he is The Best Food Reviewer on TH-cam for Sure 110%✅🙏😎

Great review.
I agree! I think the refresh of the Rio is coming along very nicely. Thanks for watching!
All the food looks so good. I would totally get the tomato soup with grilled cheese and the lobster pot pie looks very interesting. I love banana pudding so I would get that as well.
The tomato soup and grilled cheese were so good. I'd probably get that every time I go to the Rio. Thanks for watching Jerry!
Another enjoyable video, thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching!
Another great review...just a tiny few misses but overall delicious looking choices...that lobster pot pie sold me 🤗🙊...have a great weekend, til Tues!!! 😘🤗❤
Really liked the pot pie! Thanks for watching Jade! See you Tuesday!
I'm SO glad you went to Luckley! You know a place can't be bad if they do grilled cheese and tomato soup right! Also, I need lobster gravy to become a thing now. Great video!!
I agree! I'd get the soup and sandwich every time I go. Thanks for watching Holly!
side eyeing the broccolini before trying it and liking it reminded me of my kids and vegetables lol
Lol! It was more of a boot expecting much to getting something good. Thanks for watching!
Concise very effective review. Next level.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Some smart dishes on this menu! Makes me interested enough to make a trip off strip! Having tomato soup WITH Grilled Cheese is pretty genius! _Snacks_ had tomato soup and tomato grilled cheese but you had to order them separately for $23.

Yes! I love that the grilled cheese and the soup came as one. I'd definitely do it again. Lobster pot pie was great too. Thanks for watching!
Ooh! Everything looked so good! My favorites were the tomato soup/grilled cheese and lobster pot pie. 😋🌴
Yes! Absolutely my two favorites from Luckley's. So good! Thanks for watching Amy!
Food looks petty solid and mostly reasonable but the wings, chicken, and pot pie seem on the high side given that this looks like a fairly casual restaurant
I liked Luckley. Good restaurant here. Pot pie was definitely a winner for me. Thanks for watching!
Dang Mr. Shin! You went all out this time! Great video.

Happy after Saturday to you!
I’ve never seen anything like that Tuna Pizzacker appetizer before, but I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Man, I haven’t treated myself to a nice restaurant in a good while, and watching this makes me wanna schedule up. 😋
It was unique and flavorful. I liked it. Definitely sounds like you need to schedule a treat yourself day! Thanks for watching!
A Saturday with Shin and now the fun can begin.
I hope I helped make your Saturday a little better! Thanks for watching!
The new Luckley Tavern at Rio looks amazing! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I thought so too! I liked it here. Thanks for watching!
This Place, and the Food , Looked Great .....Thanks Shin !
It was good! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Shin. As always, a great video. See you again soon.
Thank you very much! Happy to make the video. I'll be back for more!

Yummmm....all of these dishes looked tasty. I love onion rings and haven't met one I didn't like. Thanks Shin for sharing this review! ☺
I overall enjoyed my time here! Thanks for watching Allison!
Overall, the food presentation was very good. The dishes looked amazing and delicious. If the Luckley Manager watches your video, he might relay the hints back to the chefs, hopefully.
The chef became curious during taping because a table for 1 was ordering so much and came out and we chatted briefly. Thanks for watching!
The food looks really good. Priced well for Vegas. Great review. Ty.😊
I thought so too! Thanks for watching Laura!
my friend this is a great review ,the food looked great and i thought priced extremely well for las vegas , thank you very much

I am so glad to see the Rio making a comeback! Another great video!
Yes! I'm also happy to see the Rio is putting out some good stuff! We need a revival! Thanks for watching!
Shin, luv your production values.
Happy to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Wow I can’t believe how little the wings are!! Shin u saved my life because I would’ve been so disappointed 😫
Happy to help! Genuinely that's one of the biggest reasons I do what I do so fewer people get shocked during their Vegas trip and just get shocked before while watching the video. Thanks for watching!
Tomato soup was $11 on the menu but your bill had it as $16
Well spotted 👍
Nice catch. Of course I had to check the rest. The tuna pizza was $1 cheaper on the menu as well.
Nice dude 👍
That's actually a pretty big discrepancy. They need to fix that on the menu. Good eye! Thanks for watching!
I hate when they recommend the tip % not based on the subtotal but with Tax total bill. BS. I refuse to go back to restaurants that do this.
Another good video, thanks 👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Another great review thanks shin ❤
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Nice to see that the Rio’s new management is putting some effort into their food scene!
I agree! I think Dreamscape is doing a great job with their refresh. I've liked the food hall and now Luckley. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Shin!
You got it! Thanks for watching!
Thanx for the review! Staying at the Rio for a week in August. Stayed in the past . Strip is getting out of control with prices ! All remodeled and even the pool area . Will check this eatery out while thier . Don't know if we will dine thier but ....we have are own dinner spots of strip ,cheaper great places and no parking fees ! Thanx!! Cheers... ❤

Been a while since I've been back at the Venetian actually. Yeah I'll get a couple of restaurants done there before September. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin That would be great.
That chicken pot pie looked tasty! Great video as always!
The pot pie was really good! Thanks brother!!

Same roasted chicken as they had at All American Burger.
No complaints, I'm just happy to still see it.
I wish I had eaten at the All American prior to its closing so I could have had some better commentary in regards to comparing and contrasting prior to eating at Luckley's. Good to hear the some menu items made their way over. Thanks for watching!

Looks fabulous. Assume you always have a ton of leftovers!
I always have buttloads of leftovers (outside of like, buffet restaurants of course). Usually I eat for about 3 days per video I create. Thanks for watching!
Hey your videos are great. I realized you haven't done one at Best Friend at park MGM. My friend is telling me we have to go there for our trip later this year. I would feel much more comfortable if I watched your review first. Any chance that could be in the works?
I'm realizing I haven't done a single restaurant at the Park MGM yet. Best Friend sounds like a good start. I'll check it out soon-ish. Thanks for watching!
"Time to activate the dessert stomach" LOL
LOL. You know what I'm talking about. Thanks for watching!
That carbonara looks yummy!
It was tasty! Thanks for watching!
I'm actually glad to hear your review instead of hearing all the crunching. And what other food bloggers do? They, you hear their mouth in the the crunch of their mouth and it just sounds Disgusting. So I think you were keeping it that way.
I skip it for video pacing. I just figure people don't need to watch me chew for 10-30 seconds. But that's a good note about the sound. Thanks for watching!
Nice haircut, Shin!
Thank you very much!
Delish!!
Yes! Thanks for watching!
Yay Shin!
Thank you!
Bon Appétit
👍👍
Thank you!
Hi Shin, Nice review! Maybe Luckley Tavern should be called Lucky Tavern since it's in Las Vegas. By the way, would Broccolini happen to be Broccoli's little brother? Is it better than Broccoli?
I actually don't know how it's genetically related to broccoli but I do prefer broccolini. Thanks for watching!
Little off on the chicken price $40 compared to everything else maybe $29-$32 nice review as always!
In general this is a bit of a price spike for the Rio but I overall liked the food here. Thanks for watching!
Lots of great selections. For me, ketchup makes everything better.
I love my ketchup as well! Thanks for watching Cindy!
👍🤠
Thanks for watching Vickie!

Thanks for watching!
Wow, that server was a great dish!!!!
Yeah!!!
She was really great. Thanks for watching!
Rio is up to something
Yes! Their refresh is coming along nicely I think. Thanks for watching!
Please comment about noise levels for each vid, it's very important to me. I can't do mind-numbing levels of background music, I had to click off the vid because of that and cross it off my list
I could but I think by the time I did, you'd already be well aware of what the music will be like in the restaurant. I don't think I'll be changing my style of video to announce the noise level before I start the review. Thanks for watching!
The food looked ok, definitely not worth the price. I don't know if I "have" to eat here. The server looked better than the food...haha Nice vid shin!
I'll honestly say, if I ever go to the Rio to play or meet up with friends or something, I would get that tomato soup and grilled cheese every time. Thanks for watching!
unless they add bartop games and more TV's around the bar it won't last, food looks good at fair prices but they need to embrace a local bar vibe, ie bartop VP
I did find that odd that they didn't have bar top gaming. I thought that would have been a given. Thanks for watching!
Yikes $40 for a half chicken? I think I would skip that one and opt for Sam’s club rotisserie HUGE, whole, Chicken for $4.98. It’s the best chicken. I was impressed with the pot pie using real puffed pastry so that is a win as well as a few other meals. But, the giant plants with small portions were kind of off putting especially the steak with the blood pooling to the sides of the plate. Not appetizing at all. Thanks for the video.
That was probably the most egregious menu item but otherwise I thought the prices were a step up from the Rio but not too badly. Thanks for watching!
I don't think that was a flank steak, looked more like a flat iron.
Could have been, I just went off what they told me. Thanks for watching!
40 dollars for roasted chicken? Fugadaboutit!
Plenty of $100 roasted chickens on the strip too. Thanks for watching!
My senses are screaming: 🤔🤔🤔
Scream away! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful waitress❤
Yes indeed!
And she was super friendly and very courteous! Thanks for watching!
Lobster pot pie looks good but small and 50 bucks. 18 dollar chicken pops didn't look worth it, either. None of it looks worth it. lol
It wasn't enormous but I wouldn't classify it as small. Pricey for sure though. The chicken, as mentioned in the video, I just love my jumbo big wing so lollipop wings are cool for the technique, but give me some fat wings lol. Thanks for watching!
VWS: Definitely a Food Crime scene with overpriced Food. I guess someone has to pay for the renovations. But $18 sliders , $16 Tomato Soup, $40 Chicken ( I get one at Costco for $5 guess those vegetables had some gold in them lol), $39 Flank Steak SMH and final rip off the $10 frozen out of a bag onion rings. But admittedly the food looked tasty and well executed but I guess with the great economy ( Thank you President Biden) Vegas will continue charging outrageous prices. Anywho see you Tuesday Peace out ✌️ ☮️ . Btw I had a hearty laugh with the Bananna Pudding description as NYC's Finest. Thought Bananna Pudding was more of a Southern thing !! And Katerine was a doll too.
Thanks Biden for record high inflation ( the real reason restaurant prices are high), 2 wars that literally could end the world, huge budget deficits, a literal invasion at the southern border( huge consequences to come) , record national debt, most divisive president ever, unaffordable housing, highest credit card debt ever, American dream out of reach for many, embarrassment every time he tries to speak, and more taxes and regulation! There’s paragraphs more that could be said of this administration of misfits!
Tasty food but a definite price spike for the Rio. Honestly though, I'd pay $16 for the tomato soup and grilled cheese again without hesitation. Thanks for watching Al!
@VegaswithShin It did look yummy but at a diner at would ne around $10. Guess I am use to East Coast pricing
@algernon5776 totally get that. Someone else mentioned that a cup of soup and grilled cheese at the Mirage Snacks restaurant was $23 lol. I guess I was thinking more from those terms
@VegaswithShin Out of control lol. I understand it is chef'ed up but $23 seriously. Did they fly in the cheese from Switzerland 🇨🇭? Lol. But your reviews are excellent and you provide alternatives like the $24 AYCE Hotpot, what a deal
Total RIP off, I bought one miller lite beer and one margarita! Set me back 43 dollars. 😂😂😂😂
Oof. Yeah, I will almost never buy alcohol in any of the tourist resorts in Vegas. The mark up is way too high. Thanks for watching!
I’m so glad that I cook grill & BBQ my own food at Home ✅😎 my wife also Bakes & makes delicious dishes. I’m the BBQ Master in my Backyard. All my food is at least 1/2 $$ or 1/3rd the $$ of Restaurants. And it’s way better 100%. Thank you so much Shin ❤. You Are a Great Food Reviewer 🥂😎⭐️. Man!!!! Stay Cool & Inside. It must be so hot in Vegas. 😢. Take Care Brother
Very hot out here for sure but I'm staying cool. Thanks for watching MickCotton!
Why would anybody remove meat from a chicken wing just to make it look like a lollipop?😂
Lol, they don't remove it per say. They sever the tendon where it meets the ankle and push the meat up so you a clean bone to hold but it's the same amount of meat. Thanks for watching!
Ate at Luckily last week and most likely will not return. First off, the very loud up tempo rock music is far from what a dinner venue should have. You can not carry on a normal conversation. I could not even hear the waitress. The music is more appropriate for a nightclub at midnight, not a 5 p.m. meal. They need better, more calm dinner music.
I ordered a salad and prime rib (from the prix fixe menu). The food was delivered at the same time, clearly rushing me. I sent the main course back. Once it was delivered it was overcooked and not warm. Disaster.
Oof, that sounds rough. Thanks for sharing your experience.
"Every restaurant is a buffet, when you are wiling to pay!" However, few can.
Food looked great, as was your review. The loud lame "80's party" soundtrack in the background would keep me from eating there.

I LOVE KAREN!🥰
@@grantharrison6136 I don't think you understand how that slur is supposed to be deployed.
I actually grew up with a lot of the music they were playing so I really enjoyed it but it was loud. If they turned it down slightly, I'd prefer it but it's also directly on the casino floor so I understand why they would blast the music to separate the space audio wise. Thanks for watching!
@@mauicountygis5450 It's not a matter of understanding deployment. It's a matter of...of...I just don't give a damn!🤷
luckely tavern is trash, its empty overpriced very limited they are trying to be upscale something its not.. they should have left it the way it was.
Appreciate your opinion. Thanks for watching!

I really miss the Carnival World Buffet. And that is a 5 rating kind of miss.
I too miss the Carnival Buffet. That was easily the best buffet in Vegas for a while there. Thanks for watching!
