| - For my Vegas trip over the weekend, my friends and I stayed really close to the Cosmo, so of course when we found out there was an Eggslut here (I had heard of the LA location), we *had* to come and check it out!
We came for lunch on Sunday and then I came back again by myself right before my early Tuesday morning. But before I get into the food, let's get some details out of the way.
Location: Cosmo is huge, so it's pretty easy to get lost looking for Eggslut. It's closer to the east side of the hotel and grouped together with other restaurants and eateries. It's on the SECOND floor, not the third, and directly across from the main entrance of Marquee (the main club in Cosmo). If you follow signs for either the restaurant area or Marquee, then you should be able to find Eggslut pretty easily.
Hours: This Eggslut has some weird hours, so make sure you check that before going. I noticed over the weekend that they were open Sat and Sun from midnight till 7 pm, so I assumed they would have similar hours throughout the week. But nope, these hours are only for Tuesday (so random!) in addition to Sat/Sun. They close everyday at 7 pm though, so come early if you want to grab dinner here!
Lines: This place is popular, but the lines all really depend on when you come. The first time when we came around 11:15 on a Sunday, we ended up waiting in line for about an hour before it was our turn to order. The second time I came was around 1:30 am on a Tuesday after hitting up Marquee, and at this time there was practically no line. So if you're planning to come at peak lunch times, definitely expect a long wait.
Seating: There is very limited seating within the restaurant area itself. A lot of people either took their orders to go or sat down at the nearby hotel couches to eat. Just keep in mind this is more of a casual dining spot, not a fancy sit down restaurant with full service.
Food: I tried both the sausage and egg sandwich as well as the Fairfax with the sausage addition and thoroughly enjoyed both. The warm brioche bun went along great with the egg and the sausage. My friends all ordered one of the two, and for a while there was zero talking as we were all too busy savoring the deliciousness of the sandwiches. Now that's how you know the food is good! :)
I also tried the signature side dish, the slut, but I was much less impressed with that. It's essentially a sous vied egg + potato puree served in a glass jar with 3 small baguette slices. After I mixed the sous vied egg and potato puree together in the jar, I could not taste the egg at all, only the potato puree. You're supposed to use it as a spread on the baguette slices, but the puree was too salty and there just wasn't enough baguette slices to go with it. I don't understand how this side dish is so pricey, but I would not recommend unless you really want to give into the hype.
Price: Eggslut definitely is on the pricey side, though I think their sandwiches are worth it. Eight dollars for the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich seems reasonable, especially given Vegas prices. However, the signature dish, the slut, was not worth the $10 I paid for it.
