Flowing Tide Pub 8 is a 24/7 Bar, Gaming, and Restaurant Type of place that is located in the Centennial Part of Las Vegas Nevada. It looks very similar to most of the other 24/7 bar, gaming, restaurant places with a big bar in the middle and lots of big screen TVs. They offer many of the usual foods that you get in these kinds of places. They offer all day breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, salads, pastas, entrees and more.
This one has bar seating, high top table seating, high booths, and some sofa seating. I noticed one small traditional table by one of the doors. People under 21 are not allowed in.
We started by sharing an appetizer called Caulifire (spicy cauliflower)
It came with a sauce described as creamy gorgonzola with cilantro. Whatever it all was everything had good flavors to it. The cauliflower did run very spicy. I needed to use the creamy sauce to eat it. I liked the flavors but the cauliflower was a soft and maybe overcooked.
I tried the pacific salmon for dinner.
I asked for a medium cook on the salmon. It’s not medium but is moist so I’m happy enough. Tastes like mostly butter and dill. The vegetables seem fresh but are slightly over cooked and are very soft. The rice is tasty.
My husband tried the fish (cod) and chips.
It was mostly good. Liked the blue cheese slaw and fries. Liked the fish but the batter was soft like cake and not crispy.
Great American Foodie Fest took place in Desert Breeze Park in Las Vegas Nevada May 8, 9, &10 2026. General Admission was $10 to get in plus the cost of food and drink. One of the VIP options was $45. but included trips to five food trucks.
They were organized in a strange way that was a mess.
We had to wait in one line to get wrist bands and then jump into another line to get in. Then we choose VIP and had to wait in a third line to get our food tickets.
What I didn’t know was that only certain food trucks offered the VIP food.
and you needed your cell phone to figure this out.
The seating was limited and filled up fast. It protected you from the 100F heat we had today.
They were playing LOUD older music. I heard an EXTRA LONG version of Rod Steward’s – Do You Think I’m Sexy followed by Abba’s Dancing Queen.
First Bites were –
Birria La Paz – Fish Taco and Shrimp Taco – Actually very tasty
Next was
A slice of plain pizza for me and a slice of pepperoni for my husband from – Sincity Pizza
and I was kinda full so we finished with 1/2 a ice cream filled doughnut.
from Yonutz
I now know that I will never purchase tickets in advance and also will just do general admission because I didn’t get my VIP’s money’s worth. I also didn’t try other food trucks that I might have enjoyed more because I already paid for a much smaller VIP selection.
The SLOPPIEST Burger that I ever had in all my life was the Burger with grilled onions and brava sauce from Brasserie By Edo. This burger even cooked passed my medium request was very juicy and also falling apart. The bun sort of disintegrated and couldn’t hold up to all that sauce, onions, and juicy burger. It was impossible to even pick up just half of it to eat. You had to eat it with a knife and fork. Also watch out for the ketchup vinaigrette. It turns burning HOT and becomes impossible to eat too.
I did get to taste a pizza like no other that I ever had from Heavenly Pies and Trattoria.
It’s thin, with crisp layers sort of like a cracker.
It’s topped with a rich sauce and quality cheese and the right amount of seasoning.

That was the FORKING Las Vegas FOOD Buzz of the Week
We went on a day trip to Boulder City. It’s only about 45 minutes from North Las Vegas so we thought it might be fun. They have several antique shops and a few museums there. Most places are listed as opening at 10am but I’ve found out that most of Boulder City runs very late so don’t count on any place opening on time in Boulder City.
Fox Smokehouse BBQ has an impressive 4.5 star rating out of over a thousand reviews on Yelp. They are also listed as a top Boulder City Restaurant destination by our local newspaper so I thought Fox Smokehouse BBQ was a safe and good place to try lunch.
We get there.
When you walk in to the left side is a bar and bar area. Not photoed are BUNCHES of PIG decorations. I was surprised not to find any Fox decorations at FOX Smokehouse BBQ.
To the right is a dining area with a salad bar. But I don’t know why anyone would get the salad bar here. The meats are ham, bacon, and lunch meat turkey. If they had some sort of add on to smoked meat option I might have tried it.
I ordered the smoked turkey breast platter with macaroni and cheese and also corn.
This is a lot of food that can feed 2 or more people.
The turkey really does have amazing flavors to it but it is on the DRY side.
Corn has a good flavor to it.
But the macaroni-n-cheese really sucks!
BLECH!!!!!!
It’s like mushy pasta mixed with something like Velveeta. Then they tried to mix in real cheese that didn’t melt into it.
The Kopper Keg is a 24/7 Gaming, Bar, and Dining kind of place. They have 4 locations in Vegas (North, South, East, West) and one location near by in Henderson. The menus differ slightly. Kopper Keg North offers many appetizers or bar snacks. Some of the offerings are tacos, nachos, Bavarian Pretzels, wings, salads, wraps, and pizzas.
You can sit at the bar or at a table in the dining area.
We started out with the Mac-n-Cheese bites. (They come with ranch dressing on the side)
They are actually pretty tasty. A bit spicy too.
I went with the Asian Chop Salad with Blackened Salmon.
It tastes better than it looks and the salmon is pretty good too! It’s also a large portion of salad and salmon. I’m guessing at least 6 ounces of salmon.
My husband tried the special of the day. A sausage and pepperoni sandwich with cheese, sauce, and tater tots.
Moo Woo Korean BBQ is located in the Centennial part of Las Vegas Nevada. It’s a Korean BBQ. They offer some appetizers and side dishes. The main menu are combos of 5 kinds of meat that you cook at the burner on your table that serve 2-3 people and double sized combo of ten kinds of meat that serve 4-5 people. They also offer add on plates so you can have even MORE! Soft beverages, beer, wine, and solo are offered.
We tried a special order Woo Combo (no galbe substitute spicy chicken).
We get banchan (small side dishes), rice, seasonings to start.
We also get corn cheese and some sort of soup.
We also get this really delicious salad that has a lot of flavor to it.
I think this might be the Rib Eye Steak with a small cube of beef fat.
This came out tender and delicious.
I think this was the Prime Thin Sliced Brisket.
This was the plainest of the meats but still was tender.
Below is the Bulgogi Steak.
This one was FORKING incredible. SUPER Tender and very DELICIOUS. I wish that I could come in to just get this. This is what you want here.
Below is regular Bulgogi. It’s tastier than the thin sliced brisket but not the DELICIOUS BOMB Bulgogi Steak is.
Lastly we had the Spicy Chicken instead of the galbe (rib) that normally comes with the Woo Combo.
It’s also delicious and tender. This was way more food than most couples can eat (and my husband is a big eater) We had lunch (I was too full to have dinner) and took home enough for a dinner for two for the next day.
Last weekend I got to go to two Las Vegas Food Festivals. Unstripped at The Palms and also Fork in the Desert at Aliante Casino. Here are most of the things that I got to pick from –

Dining Out With DOGS is just a “FLUFF” Story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my late dog Louie. He always enjoyed going out to eat. When Louie got elderly he came down with aggressive cancer. We were told that poor old sweet Louie only had about three months or possibly up to six months to live. I took dear old Louie out as often as I could and Louie made it another seventeen months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when I can and when the weather is right.
We had record breaking HIGH HEAT in Vegas. It was best to take the dogs out for a ride and bring something back home. The dogs enjoyed a car ride to IN-N-OUT Burger. The bigger dog just swatted the smaller dog out of her way so she could look and see the burger action.
Look I think she is smiling.
Back to home because they could burn their paws on the hot patio there.
Time to eat –
I think the little one is making faces?
The dogs always enjoy a trip to IN-N-OUT Burger.

It was cool this week so we went to Those Guys Pies. If they sound familiar to you then maybe you saw them on Food Network’s Diners Drive Ins and Dives. They specialize in cheesesteaks and pizza. So of course my husband gets a cheesesteak here.
I usually get a lakeside salad with fried chicken.
Inside is a craft dog biscuit vending machine so we always get the dogs some craft biscuits. Today they got chicken craft biscuits.
A nice person working there brought out a bowl of water for my dogs.
Then they got to feast on fried chicken and some cheesesteak.
The dogs always love going to Those Guys Pies.

The following week it was a nice comfortable temperature but we had un usually high winds. So we did the car ride thing to In-N-Out Burger.
The Giant Aussie pushed the Beagle-Mix out of his seat so she could watch the burger action.
I think she is smiling.
They get some cheeseburger at home.
They always love cheeseburgers.

Weather was better and we drove to the California Fish Grill.
I shared grilled salmon from my grilled salmon salad with the dogs.
And my husband shared some of his battered fish and chips and shrimp skewer with the dogs too.
The dogs always enjoy the California Fish Grill.

Unstripped is a food Festival and for the 3rd year in a row took place at the Palms Casino Hotel. Only most of the best chefs in Las Vegas get invited to participate in this festival. Tickets started at $158. a person. To get into this food festival you must arrive EARLY. The festival starts at 6pm and you get in and wait your turn in line. If you want to get in early you wait in line starting at 5pm. We came at 5 and got in at 6. But many got in much latter and waited much longer in line.
I thought three dishes I tried were amazing, most were good, a few I didn’t care for, and one had steak on it that I couldn’t chew.
