| - This is the very 1st White Castle to have opened in the West Coast! It opened on January 27th, 2015; and it was the very 1st time in 56 years that a White Castle has expanded in a different state.
The 1st time I ever had a White Castle slider was back in the 90's when Costco used to sell them in their freezer section. I didn't even know that they were a fast food chain since there weren't any in the West Coast. After Costco stopped selling these, I never heard of White Castle again until the film "Harold & Kumar Goes to White Castle" was released in 2004. Ever since I saw that movie, I've always had a craving for White Castle. When I went to New York in 2008, it was the very 1st time that I ever dined at a White Castle establishment.
When I went to Las Vegas in 2015, I was pleasantly surprised to see this White Castle since they've only had their restaurants in the mid-West & the East Coast. I had to give them a try! This is a cleaner White Castle than their other locations, and it was fun to sit by the window and "people-watch" the folks walking on the strip. As for the food.., it's your typical White Castle. Small portions & very greasy. You always have to order more sliders than you think, if you just have a normal appetite; and even more sliders if you're really hungry! What makes this White Castle unique is that they serve breakfast items from 5am - 11am, and they also sell cold draft beer.
It's a good place to get cheap food at any hour of the day/night. In the past, the only place to get 24/7 fast food was at McDonald's. It's a novelty to finally have a White Castle in the West Coast; but at the end of all things.., it's still just a fast food chain. It's just nice to have another alternative than the McDonald's on the Las Vegas strip.
