Vegas strEATS combines good food trucks, a small art scene and a DJ in a small square in the El Cortez area of downtown. It was my first time going to what my friend refers to as "Second Saturday," which led me to believe that Vegas StrEATS was a monstrously large occasion like First Friday.
I was gladly wrong in my assumptions. When I went this February I was surprised to see about nine food-trucks parked in a line, with vendors (Jerky, root beer, baked goods) and artists (t-shirts, canvas pieces) and even a yelp booth (where I got some awesome free yelp gloves!).
We visited Sin City Wings, Slidin' Thru, tried some jerky, danced and watched other people dance (they were far more skilled than me and my dance crew). We spent an hour or two hanging out before leaving; it was good fun! If you're looking for an exciting and local event then Vegas StrEATS is for you!
