| - Everyone knows by now about my love for BUNS, but when I go to Holsteins, it's all about their Bam-Boozled Shakes!
So when I'm in Vegas on business or pleasure (cue the music):
I stay out too late
Got nothing but shakes to obtain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
I go on too many Vegas dates
But I can make my company pay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
But I keep boozing
Can't stop, won't stop choosing
It's like I got this cute chick
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be better than getting a quick bite"
'Cause the Card-Players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the Waiters gonna wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Baby, I'm just gonna get a shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
The Bakers gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake
And the Bartending Shake-makers gonna make, make, make, make, make
Baby, I'm just gonna get a shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
SHAKES I'VE HAD:
-The Drunken Monkey: being comprised of Reese's & Banana made it an easy choice for the 1st shake I ever had here. It contains Frangelico hazelnut liqueur!
-Pumpkin Pie: pumpkin lovers like myself can rejoice because this treat is offered year-round, instead of being seasonal. It features Pumpkin Pie Filling, Graham Crumble, Pinnacle Pumpkin Pie Vodka, & Pepitas Brittle. This was the tastiest one I've had.
-Cereal Bowl 2.0: one of their most popular, it has Fruit Loops & Cap'N Crunch mixed with 3 Olives Loopy Vodka.
-The Fat Boy: ok, I didn't try this one, but after consuming a shake here, people mistook for me being the fat boy.
You can't really feel the effects of the alcohol, but it doesn't matter because they're SO DAMN GOOD anyway. Expecting to get buzzed off any of them is like going to Britney Spears' show to hear live music. They give you the shake excess in a tin also, so it's like you're practically getting 2.
FOOD NOTES:
-The Crazy Bird: if you're not into burgers but want buns still (and a chicken breast), this is my recommendation as the garlic aioli sauce gives it the right touch.
-If you have a burger or sandwich and get a shake too, you're going to be as full as a Vegas club's guest list on NYE. So, consider sharing items.
-Truffle Lobster 'Mac N Cheese' ($16.50): I ordered this my first visit, and it didn't live up to the hype. I was underwhelmed by the portion too, but found the crispy breading crust pleasing.
OTHER NOTES:
-bar seating is available
-there are times at nights (even on weekends) when it's not that busy
-Holsteins is not owned by Cosmo, so you can't charge it to your room
Although the charges can easily start to add up if you order several things, I don't really have an issue with the prices here. Since it's Vegas, I just "Shake it Off, I Shake it Off."
