| - Yelps 365 Review Challenge 2014 - Los Angeles #42 - #365
Several years ago, this use to be a Korean restaurant and now Roy's Raw Deal now occupies it. I was looking to try a different sushi restaurant instead of my usual, "Ken's" on Foothill.
The size is very intimate and the staff were very friendly. Roy always ask if you're allergic to any types of fish and that's very reassuring to know he cares about his customers. It can get busy on the weekends, so it's best to come as early as possible to get a good seat. Patrons are friendly and has the small town feel.
Sushi was very very fresh!
Service was excellent!
It's good old Vegas is still alive and not as pricey as most of the shows on the strip. I read the reviews on Yelp before I watched the Gordie Brown show and most were good to excellent with some 2 - 3 stars. Basically, he is a impressionist, comedian, and singer all rolled up into one. It kind of reminds me of Danny Gans (RIP) and Terry Fator but without the puppets.
The theater is not that big and is about the size of the Carrot Top theater in Luxor, so it felt intimate. Like other reviewers have mentioned, he is very energetic and he also looks good for his age. In the first part of the show, he told some jokes, did impressions of famous people and towards the end, it felt like a comedy sketch with some old and new jokes.
I'm glad to have finally watched Gordie Brown (live) after all these years seeing him on advertisements (magazines, billboards, commercials, radio), I got to finally see Gordie Brown and just add it too my list of Vegas shows already watched. Tickets are pretty cheap and there's many ways of looking for cheap or discounted tickets. If you like to watch a piece of old Vegas before Cirque dominates entertainment industry, than go watch Gordie Brown.
