The BEST of the week certainly was the multi course dinner from Bar Boheme.Everything was superb from service to food to wine pairing. Here are pictures from a couple visits.

Unfortunately there also was a worst of the week. The house made pastrami rueben from Fine Company was awful.

The pastrami wasn’t coked enough so the fat on the ends was so hard that you could use it as dental floss. The flavors were messed up too and were so unbalanced that you really mostly taste liquid smoke and black pepper. PLUS they don’t put much in the sandwich. Don’t know why but I brought half home and the pastrami and scant amount of cabbage inside only weighed LESS THAN ONE OUNCE.

Anyways in other FOOD News –

This was The FORKING Las Vegas FOOD Buzz of the Week

and this is

I’ve been upset with the lack of Food News that I come across in our local newspaper. I used to live in Phoenix Arizona where they had a whole food section with lots of local stories about local restaurants. They also had stories on other food happenings like the festivals too. In addition to that I also used to enjoy reading about the monthly list of openings and the list of closings. In Las Vegas we don’t have that.

In Las Vegas we have so many restaurant that they would really need three food sections. One for the strip and another for locals and a third one for Chinatown.

Here our local Las Vegas Newspaper has only one food reporter who only writes a few food stories a week that are most often a Casino Restaurant. I don’t recall seeing stories about festivals in the paper or even recall seeing these type of stories on our local TV news. Las Vegas has so much going on but it seems like we actually have less written about what’s going on than anywhere else I lived.

Just this week our local newspaper ran an article TUESDAY NOVEMBER 11TH 2025 that the future of Siegel’s 1941 has an uncertain future and nothing was decided until contractor bids come in an appraise the amount of money it will take to update the kitchen that has to close.

The SAME EXACT DAY TUESDAY NOVEMBER 11TH 2025 Casino.org reports that Siegel’s 1941 is to be (as they said) “RUBBED OUT” and to be replaced with a steakhouse. Today Wednesday November 12TH 2025 Our local newspaper still reads that Siegel’s 1941 ‘s future (in their words) is “Murky”. So our local newspaper’s story is already out of date.

Casino.org reports that Siegel’s 1941 is expected to close in April 2026. Here are some of the pictures I took in Siegel’s 1941 so you can see what the Mobster (Bugsy Siegel and one time OWNER) Themed Restaurant looks like.

The Menu Changes from time to time but a few of the offerings are – breakfast, matzoh ball soup, pastrami sandwiches, other sandwiches, burgers, and a $19.99 Prime Rib Special.

Seigel’s 1941 at the El Cortez Hotel/Casino (Expected to be there until April 2026 ? Call first just in case)

600 Fremont St. Las Vegas NV

Every THING is subject to change.
