The Mob Museum Moves in on Downtown Las Vegas

January 3, 2012

The Mob is moving in. This isn’t the first time that the Mob has been in downtown Las Vegas. The recently renovated Post Office in downtown will be the new home for some good fellows. The almost ready Mob Museum is getting ready to open in February. The Mob Museum is dedicated to the thrilling story of organized crime and law enforcement. It will present an exciting and authentic view of the mob’s impact on Las Vegas history and its unique imprint on the world.

The museum is located at the end of 3rd street at 300 Stewart Avenue near the newly opened “Mob Bar”,  just north of the Fremont Street Experience.  The expected opening is  in February of 2012.

Great New Place for Breakfast and Lunch

December 23, 2011

A new breakfast and lunch place across from Desert Breeze Park opened last month called Norm’s Eggs Cafe. Serving both breakfast and lunch, open daily from 6am- 3pm. Located at 3655 S Durango Dr. #29 near Spring Mountain Road  and Durango Drive. Norm’s serves a well rounded breakfast menu like Eggs Benedict, Omelets, Steak and Eggs, Pancakes and my favorite Huevos Rancheros. His lunch menu is just as varied with a large Chinese Chicken Salad, Steak Ooh La La (kind of a Philly style sandwich), specials like Pot Roast and Vegetables and Homemade Soup of the Day. If you are looking for a new place to try, take a look at Norm’s Eggs Cafe; delicious food, great service and good prices.

Slidin’ Thru Opens New Fast-Food Restaurant in Northwest Las Vegas

December 9, 2011

Local food truck, Slidin’ Thru, is considered one of the first specialty gourmet trucks spearing heading the food truck movement in Las Vegas has opened a brand new store in the northwest part of Las Vegas.  The well polished Slidin’ Thru brand which features mini-hamburgers or “sliders” which they call Mini-Burgs has made the jump from food truck to stand alone fast-food restaurant. The new store includes a Vegas must, a drive-thru, with the Twitter hashtag of “#windowlove”. Located at 6410 N. Durango Dr. just off the 215 in the northwest part of Las Vegas, giving this part of town some slider love.

The restaurant has a sleek interior with 3 large HDTV screens for menu, the mostly white interior with a shinny red floor is accented with neon and a T-shirt display. They have a self-serve fountain drink dispenser, along with their truck standards like “Mexi-Cokes” in old fashion looking Coke coolers. The soda machine dispenses a nice finely granulated ice which is a plus. They even have a live Twitter feed that displays directly on the video monitor (patrons where having fun with that. Send Tweet to @SlidinThruNW for all to see).

Here are some photos of the Grand  Opening for Slidin’ ThruNW on December 9, 2011.

UPDATE: Slidin’ ThruNW Closed it doors in September 2013 but the Food Truck continues to run.
