*******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS*****The Meat Wagon is a different kind of mostly American Restaurant with a sense of humor. They offer a Brussels sprouts appetizer in a ceramic toilet. Inside you will notice a space theme. Sometimes you get picked to spin a wheel and you might win a prize like a rubber duck. This restaurant is located on the west side of Las Vegas Nevada. They offer a lot of very cheesy sandwiches on house made flat breads. They also offer a lot of unique “stick to your ribs” type foods like tacos on house made flat breads, burgers, wings, chicken and waffles, potato skins stuffed with Korean BBQ, and MORE!

Below is part of the inside.

Below is part of dining area.

So far we’ve tried –

In a ceramic dish that looks like a toilet –

Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Garlic Truffle Butter, Aged Parmesan, and Honey Butter – This was surprisingly good.

They also serve Beer Battered Onion Rings in a Toilet.

Between us we tried a bunch of the tacos.

The above tacos are –

Queso Birria

Hot Korean

Habanero Carne Asada – All delicious and tender but was surprised that the Habanero Carne Asada was mild. Below are –

Three Tacos with House Made Chips

Green Chili Chicken Taco

Ale Battered Fish Taco

Truffle Garlic Mushroom Brie Taco with Spicy Raspberry Sauce

All the tacos were delicious. Better than most I’ve tried in Las Vegas.

My husband tried the special of the called The Conspiracy Theory of the day.

It was a BBQ Sirloin with Caramelized Onions, Bacon, Cheese on a house made pita with Fries.

And I got to try the Free Bird Sandwich with Rocket Fries.

It’s embellished with white balsamic slaw, tasty crisp pickle chips and hot honey. The chicken might be the juiciest fried chicken breast I’ve ever tried and the fries are tasty and freshly made.

Below is Chef Jamie Tran at the bar helping out.

Below is a BIG TASTE of The Black Sheep….I do note that the menu changes some from time to time.

The Salmon Skin Tacos are usually offered on the menu and are usually amazing.

Often the Bao Sliders with house made sausage are on the menu. My husband said that these are delicious.

I thought this version of the Hamachi Crudo was amazing.

The latest version of the Hamachi is very good not amazing like the other version but still very good.

June 2025 Hamachi Crudo

New appetizer Oxtail Empanada was very good and came with delicious pickled cabbage.

Above are the Oxtail Empanadas

Haiya Chicken

The Short Rib is often on the menu

I had the signature boneless crispy rainbow trout six times already. 4 of the 6 were crispy.

On my June 2025 visit the fish was indeed crispy and looked like this –

My husband often gets the Pork Jowl and he said that it is jiggly good.

The dessert menu often changes

Citrus Meringue with purple yam crust

Passionfruit Mango Swiss Roll

Miso Chocolate Mousse Cake

Profiterole with Cherry Ice Cream (all house made)

Vietnamese Spiced Poached Pear with Goat Cheese (I think this was an appetizer but we enjoyed it as an amazing dessert)

ai Pazzi is a very nice Italian Restaurant located in the Rampart Casino/Hotel in the Summerlin part of Las Vegas Nevada. This restaurant is brought to you by celebrity chef Fabio Viviani.

Inside it’s rich, airy and modern.

Whatever you order they start you off with delicious house made focaccia that’s embellished with olive oil, rosemary, and grated cheese.

They also offer a few wines blended by the chef.

We tried the arancini (fried rice balls)

Here they are a little different and are vegetarian with a cheese center and sit in a pecorino cheese sauce.

For my main I tried the branzino.

I got a very generous amount of meaty fish that’s prepared to perfection and comes with a nicely grilled lemon. The salad is made of very fresh bitter young greens. The dressing really pops. I think because it’s made with an unusual vinegar that is very tasty.

We planned to share charred broccolini. We were getting kinda full so we brought it home.

My husband enjoyed the Pollo Scarpariello.

He said it was all very good but especially enjoyed the house made sausage in the dish.

We also enjoyed the lemon ricotta cake.

And they surprised us with a celebration dessert plate.

It was a sweet ending to a wonderful dinner.

Lindo Michoacan is a group of Mexican Restaurants and Bars with four locations around Las Vegas Nevada. The food and menus of the locations differs. I do note that I had a good experience at the Centennial location.

The location at Place Station has a bar and a couple dining areas that are made of traditional tables, booths, and half booths.

They start you off with complimentary spicy chips here, a red spicy sauce, and soft whipped beans. (different from Centennial location)

I hate to be honest but I have to tell The FORKING Truth…..This is the worst salsa that I’ve ever tasted anywhere. It’s like tomato puree mixed with a very hot chemical…..Not hot peppers…like something chemical. No cilantro, no onions….just horrible. It burns and isn’t good at all. THIS IS SHOCK because the salsa at the Centennial Location was good.

Next come the Fideo Soup that comes with most entrees.

The dominate flavor is TABLE SALT. (I can’t eat this…….my husband is more tolerate of salt…he can eat it but said that it is salty. So it is salty….Later when we got home he kept drinking water saying he was so thirsty from probably that salty soup)

My main was the Pollo A La Naranja Becky (Spicy Mexican Orange Chicken but with vegetables instead of rice and beans)

They gave THREE pounded chicken breasts that are in a mild slightly orange sauce. There are suppose to be jalapeños in the dish but they didn’t make it to this plate. The vegetables on the side are ok……This also came with corn tortillas that seem hand made but are thick as pita breads.

My husband tried the Chile Relleno Camaron (Shrimp and Pepper)

He said that the shrimp didn’t taste fresh and thought it was odd that the pepper was flat on the plate and topped with the shrimp.

Lindo Michoacan at Palace Station – This visit not the best.

The Bootlegger Italian Bistro is a famous multi award wining Old School Italian Restaurant and ,bar, that also offers banquets, catering, gaming, nightclub, and entertainment. As soon as you enter you see various photos of celebrities that dined here.

Most of the dining rooms are red and are lined with more celebrity photos.

Here is part of the bar area.

We got seated in the Steve & Eydie Booth.

We ordered and they started us off with well seasoned bread with garlic and tasty red sauce on the side. They told us that we could have all the bread we want.

For my main I ordered the lunch sized Pollo Angelo.

It’s chicken breast in a sherry wine lemon caper sauce with artichokes, mushrooms, olives, and red peppers. It comes with fettuccini Alfredo on the side.

My husband ordered the Veal Saltimbocca.

It’s veal layered with Genoa salami, hot capicola and cheese and it’s dipped in egg batter and sauteed in sherry wine and mushroom sauce. Fettuccini Alfredo is on the side.

Everything was good and we were too full to try dessert.

Below is list of their awards.
