Pet Peeve of the Week
When multiple businesses are using the exact same ugly home depot paneling... Come on people! Also: the fake shrub walls with the generic neon signs on them that say something silly like "you belong here" — overdone, overplayed, and so 5 years ago. Vegas has an atmosphere issue! We can do better. Please do some research, travel to other cities. We have to stop trend binging. It so frustrating. –Sam J
Order of the Week
Wagyu Beef & Foie Gras Petite Burger at Le Club by Partage — small enough to make you feel virtuous, rich enough to make your taste buds file a lawsuit. Each bite is a tiny, decadent flex of flavor, the kind of burger that whispers, “Yes, you deserve this… and maybe a second one.”
