| - My charming companion and I did not even know this place existed until sifting through the little Vegas guide that we found in our hotel room.
Gourmet burgers?
Cold-War Era Soviet Theme?
Oh yes! We are going!
A five minute walk from the Venetian to Harrah's and we were there. Where to start?
KGB was a delightful experience. I must admit that I expected more from the theme; the decor was decidedly Soviet Union inspired in a comic-bookish sort of way, but less so than I thought. Actually, they struck a very good balance with their art -- anything more would have likely been over the top. The Cold War theme added just the right amount of ambiance without over doing it.
The food was delivered by a pleasant girl who appeared to enjoy what she was doing and made us feel well at home. My charming companion's analysis of their serving staff pointed out that they too had a theme (or rather each came with a pair of significant themes). How do you say "Hooters" in Russian?
Famished from a day of walking up and down the strip in 115 degree heat, we both ordered the BBQ bacon burger (not that we need an excuse to order a proper burger, mind you). Now I swore I would never diminish myself by typing "OMG" . . . but . . . OMG, these burgers were incredible. Neither the burger or fries were greasy, and the flavour was phenomenal. I haven't any fancy words to describe what we had, but simply stated, we loved it.
All in all, it was a fantastic trip. The theme was fun and different, and the food was spectacular. To top it all off, the price was very reasonable for a restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip. I am sure we'll be coming back next time come to Vegas.
