| - I did manage to come back to this In-n-Out Burger a few weeks later when in Vegas for a work conference. The food was just as good as usual, so nothing new to report there.
Some information for those who may be staying in a hotel on the Strip without a car, as I was this time, and are wondering about walking to In-n-Out, as I did. It is doable as long as you take the right approach.
If you are coming from Las Vegas Boulevard (the Strip) and want to walk down Tropicana Avenue over top of the I-5 freeway, you must stay on the south side of Tropicana Avenue. That is the side with the Excalibar Hotel as opposed to the north side with the New York New York Hotel (and Casino, but that is superfluous in any Vegas hotel name). When you get to the street across from In-n-Out, you cannot cross Tropicana immediately but must cross Dean Martin Boulevard, then Tropicana, then Dean Martin again. The direct route has no crossing signal. Why did you have to stay on the south side of Tropicana when In-N-Out is on the north side? You will come to a spot without sidewalks, and in that traffic you do not wish to take your life into your hands.
The good news about the walk? The food is worth the trip,and you can feel virtuous enough from exercising - hey, you burn calories in the 100 degree heat - that you can add a milkshake without guilt.
