| - There are a lot of things to love about Vegas (how could you not love Vegas?!), but one of the biggest reasons is how there's bound to be something for everyone. Gambling, drinking, shopping, shows, good looking girls (and guys I suppose...), eating...the list goes on!
So on a Saturday afternoon, with the girls ditching us to spend the afternoon shopping at the Forum, the rest of us decided to have a boys afternoon out with snacks and beer. Sure, it might not be something unique to Vegas, but it is when it's Gordon Ramsay's cooking! Or perhaps, his most recent Hell's Kitchen winner, Ja'nel Witt?

-- DUCK CONFIT POUTINE - Hand-Cut French Fries, Duck Gravy, and Duck Confit...$13/$12**

It may not have been the most authentic poutine (no cheese curds), but it was really good. Though the fires could have been crispier, the cheese and duck formed this gooey deliciousness and the gravy added a ton of flavor.
-- PUB "SPOTS" - Three Mini House Blend Pub Burgers, Wood-Grilled, Pub Burger Sauce, Welsh Cheddar Cheese 15/14**

Based strictly on taste, it was pretty solid. The patty had a nice char and the blend of meat was terrific. We forgot to add the smoked applewood bacon, but it wasn't necessary. That said, I wouldn't get this again simply because of price - essentially $5 per half dollar sized slider and the bacon would have been $3.00 more overall.
**NOTE: Menu prices are slightly cheaper if you have a Total Rewards player's card.
Despite the hefty price tag on the Pub Spots (pricey even for Vegas), I'd certainly come back to try an actual entrée and to get another order of the Poutine. And who knows, maybe I'll see Gordon Ramsay there...yelling about something.
