| - While most of our trip to Vegas had been plotted, my buddies and I were left to plan our bar hopping adventure while everyone else went clubbing. With so many bars and hotels in the area though, we figured we would just wing it and see where the alcohol took us. The one thing we knew for sure though was our last stop of the night - Market Street Cafe's famous ox tail soup!
Now I know - when it comes to post drinking/clubbing food, the usual suspects that come to mind are classics like burgers, pizza, and burritos. But ox tail soup? A little unexpected...much like the line! Parked in a corner of the California Hotel casino, it was pretty surprising to see so many other people there. I guess that just shows how popular they are for late night eats.
The roughly 20 minutes it took for the three of us to get a table seemed agonizingly long since we were so hungry, but the wait was worth it. None of us really had any expectations, but we all thought it was pretty solid (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pd2Xo1WqNic9zxLTVdilGA?select=nkKSBXcNq1bxA1jC_6wCZQ). The meat tasted great and it was oh so tender - so easy to pull it off the bone! The broth was flavorful despite being on the lighter side, but I thought it could have used a little more richness to it. Still, not too bad as it was.
The rest of the menu looked decent from what I saw, and I especially liked how it offers so many island/Hawaiian dishes (they have saimin!). Definitely a good late night food option, but it's a shame that it's not closer to the Strip! Then again, if it was, the lines would just be that much longer...
