2010-10-27T09:22:00.000-07:00

EARN more $$ for Your Organization than you Ever thought possible!!!

Not only is Posh the world’s finest premium gourmet coffee, it’s the most delightfully aromatic, most wonderfully flavorful fundraising vehicle your school, civic group, cultural club, or religious congregation

can have.

Considering the amount of coffee Americans drink each year, a Posh fundraising campaign could provide
your organization with the additional financial support it needs to thrive. And it won’t cost your organization
a penny!

All of which adds up to one delicious – and effective – fundraising brew. http://www.poshcoffees.com/fundraising.html

YES, I attended the Grand Opening Celebration 7/24 at 6pm at Hellboys Tattoo on W Sahara Ave/Rainbow Blvd. YES, I was one of the 1st 50 to arrive and get a FREE burger + T-shirt. and YES I am still gonna write a review :)

I am really enjoying the NEW #streetfood trend taking place here in #Vegas....I guess after KogiBBQ in LA blew up last year restauranteurs are starting to think mobile foodtruck are a real alternative to traditional sit down restaurants.

Being that it was still 100+ at 6pm when I arrived I was content getting my burger,fries and drink and ducking into the first sign of shade I could find.

I ordered the Hawaiian Burger & Fries -The girl taking the orders was real friendly and very efficient. The guys making the grub seemed nice as well but seemed focused on making things run as smoothly as possible--not alot of chit-chat:)

The food was ready in about 5 minutes and looked GREAT!!

The burger was Fresh and handmade with Fresh veggies and the fries hot & crisp!! Delicious!!

I wanted to try some tacos but it was damn hot--have to save something for next time right?

If you see this guy parked in a shopping center near you--do yourself a favor and stop by!!

NOW serving breakfast made YOUR way!!! CHEAP + good-not your typical Fast-Food!! I love the whole wheat muffins and being able to load it up anyway you want depending on what mood you are in.

The Arby DELUXE is now on the $1 Menu!!! I always enjoy a beef n cheddar or some of their chocolate chunk cookies but like any fast food place you gotta always take the good with the bad.

Vince Neil's Rock N Roll Bar in #Vegas has LIVE entertainment and a small bar menu.

If you are NOT into 80's rock you will get a HEADACHE real fast because they have it BLARING on the TVs and everywhere throughout the place.

The beers are a little pricey-$4 bottles
The food is decent-4 Sliders for like $7 and they were charbroiled.

Otherwise they have A very small menu of bar items-wings,salads a few other apps-

I didn't stay for the LIVE music but was still charged a $5 cover charge:(

It's definitely a cool rock n roll/biker crowd if that's your thing.

One of my favorite places to get a taste of home.

Born a Midwesterner I always crave some good home cooking an no place in #Vegas does it quite like HHAGG!!!

The prices may seem a little high but the HUGE portions and GREAT food make up for it rather quickly. PLUS the staff is fast & friendly.

I always get myself the fried pork tenderloin sandwich and it's good for at least two meals!!!

GREAT Burgers!! Excellent selection of Sides & Fantastic Shakes!!!

1st time out I had to try the Mushroom+Swiss Burger which was OVER the TOP good, 2nd time I had to go for the BAJA Burger which was great as well.

The burgers remind me alot of Fuddruckers with a great selection of fresh toppings but the sides are unique and quite incredible especially the pickle chips and veggie frites.

BEEFY CHILI IS THE BOMB!!!!!!!

Since this location is right across the street from the Village Square Cinemas its a good spot to fill up before seeing a movie instead of paying $12 for a popcorn & soda :)

Prices are fair for a sit-down burger joint and service is SUPER-Friendly

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP

How can/do I find sponsors for an event OR cause?

As an Avid Las Vegas Foodie OFF the STRIP is on a quest to celebrate EVERY food holiday of the YEAR at a different eatery in the Vegas Valley to explore and help expose the many great places to visit and eat whether you live here or are just visiting. Just like I have for the last 2 years I will post pictures and a brief review on this site as well as @Yelp and @Urbanspoon.

To be able to achieve my GOAL of visiting at least 300 different establishments in the Las Vegas Valley in the next calendar year I will need FINANCIAL backing from Corporate Sponsors. In return for this support I will provide a range of services in return such as Advertising on this BLOG-plus postings on Facebook,Twitter,Yelp and Urbanspoon or anything else I can do.

Anyone with any advice,tips or otherwise PLEASE feel free to LEAVE a COMMENT here, Message me on Twitter @offthestrip or email me at scottdavislasvegas@gmail.com

THANKS :)

@stationcasinos N Rancho #Vegas #Easter Buffet $13.00 per person.

Most of my experience at any Stations Casino Buffet have been less than stellar BUT I'm a sucker for CHEAP and I keep going back.

Just now I have Lowered Expectations...always hoping at least dessert can save the day if the rest of the buffet is as expected.

Easter dinner offered Lamb Chops,Turkey,Ham and Crab Legs..sounds good right?? Nope still a Stations Casino Buffet.

The only way you can get them to change something out is to take it all put it on your plate yourself and throw it away. They had the same 6 lamb chops looking all pathetic the whole time I was there. The crab legs were COLD and they said they would heat them up-too many or too much something. They did offer made-to-order mongolian food whatever that is BUT the pasta,pizza,mexican,chinese and american was pathetic as usual-all dried up and unappealing-twice I walked the whole thing and NEVER put anything on my plate. This time EVEN the desserts didn't do the trick. The bread pudding was ok but the cheesecakes were dry and the other stuff that looked good was SUGAR-FREE--yuck!!!

I never learn!!! :(

@TuscanyCasino #Vegas Friday Night All-You-Can-Eat Crab Legs $12.99!!! WOW

A small diner located in this off the strip casino offering 24/7 dining with breakfast,lunch and dinner plus DAILY specials. Great Prices, Great Service and good food....Plus Food Coupons for locals in the newspaper:)

We decided to dine out for Crab Night and enjoyed 4 plates (probably 5+lbs) of HOT crab legs with HOT drawn butter plus I ordered a Prime Rib with Baked Potato.

The food was good. The crab was really good nice and HOT!! :) The Prime Rib was a little bland however-no real seasoning but still decent. The MONSTER Burger was good too. HUGe and the fries were good too. For 3 people dining out for under $40!!
