We waited in a long line for over an hour. Cigarette smoke was all around us, patrons of the hotel were skimming between the line to a counter where they picked free $5 bottles of champagne... wielding them off with one hand like they had won the lottery. $5 minimum blackjack tables were around us, a sign touted $15 rooms for the night.... just in case this meal was so good we wanted to ditch our comfortable hotel in favor of slumming it and eating at the oyster bar everyday. A crazy idea at the time...
But a rational thought afterwards.
We carefully planned our Vegas trip around hitting the best restaurants in town. We had extravagant meals paired with great drinks in fancy places..... but what was the best meal I had?
The Combo Pan Roast at Palace Station.
My girlfriend was adamant about coming here for the pan roast. And so we went. After waiting in the line for over an hour I have to say that I was growing impatient, and even frustrated. There was no way this meal would be worth that kind of wait. Oh, but it was.
We ordered oysters and the pan roast. Don't even bother with the oysters. Go all in on the pan roast. That's what you came for. And, like the experts who sat next to me, order one to go as well. That was a good move.
