| - Definitely an improvement on last year! I really liked the one price for all three days ($8 if you bought online and you got to go to the front of the line) and that the proceeds were given to 3 Square. There was more seating and more covered seating. The DJs were great and the food was delicious. I loved the selections of trucks.
I went during the day on Saturday and Sunday and I did not find long lines or long waits at the trucks until it got later in the evening. Great food from Seoul Sausage (which I thought would have a much longer line because of it's popularity, but I ordered and got my food in 10 minutes), Strada Press, SlowCal, & Jogasaki. A few trucks were closed on Sunday but it was like 3 out of over 30 and there were still plenty of delicious choices. Also, I liked the mix of Vegas and out of state trucks which allowed me to try some Vegas trucks that I never seem to be able to get to.
Yes, the line for WC was long, but since I don't care about eating their sliders. It was amusing to me not frustrating. If I couldn't get my favorite nostalgic food, I would probably wait in line for 5 hours too.
I can't believe how many people are complaining about this event considering the improvements from last year. Obviously it is going to be busy at night when the sun goes down, it is kind of shocking that people were surprised by this. Also, a lot of people are complaining about price of admission, but it costs money to put on an event (seating, security, entertainment, staffing, set-up and breakdown, etc.) and you could go all three days, which I strongly suggest.
The only thing I would like to see next year is limiting the trucks to only a few of their best items in order to keep the lines moving a little faster after dark.
Can't wait for the fall Foodie Fest!
