| - I've been to Vegas many times and have stayed on both the strip and Downtown many times.
I'm from Hawaii, so like a typical "Hawaiian," I've mostly gone to the various Boyd establishments (California, Fremont and Main Street). In an attempt to try other things, Yelp helped me find Du-Par's Restaurant and Bakery, located in the Golden Gate Casino & Hotel.
First things first - if you want to park at the hotel, the parking lot right by the hotel is valet only, despite the sign saying it's self-parking. I didn't want to put up a fight and the valet was free anyway (just needed to tip).
Once you get to the restaurant, I was quickly reminded of an old-school diner, and if you're from Hawaii, it reminded me of a big Liliha Bakery. I opted to sit at the counter since there was a long line and my order was quickly taken.
Per the reviews on Yelp, I opted to try their pancakes. Much to my surprise, their pancakes were also ranked one of the best by Esquire Magazine. Trust me - they were good! They were light, fluffy, and buttery, just what I expect in a pancake. I also ordered some side dishes (pork sausage and eggs). Those were pretty garden variety - I guess you can't mess those up.
Try this place out - I came here twice on my last trip and will return on future trips.
