| - After arriving in Las Vegas, I was absolutely famished and didn't want to travel far for breakfast. The Henry has a prime location at the Cosmo -- which happened to be where I was staying -- and fit the bill nicely.
Almost every hotel-casino in Vegas has at least one 24-hour diner-type restaurant, The Henry is Cosmo's version. And since it's the Cosmo, it's shiny and gorgeous to look at, with abundant chandeliers and glittery surfaces (natch). It's located right off the casino floor, across from the Bond bar. (Watch your head, since selfie stick-wielding tourists are everywhere. I may or may not have been smacked by one.)
The place was quite busy on a Friday morning, but there was plenty of room at the bar, where the full menu is available.
I ordered a whole grain waffle with a side of chicken apple sausage. The waffle was extremely delicious and even somewhat healthy, thanks to the abundant yogurt and fresh strawberries. Unfortunately, the chicken apple sausage wasn't nearly as good -- it tasted slimy, like it had been sitting in the fridge for too long.
I washed down my breakfast with a much-needed cappucino, which was quite tasty. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but getting through a day on the Las Vegas Strip always seems to require that extra jolt of energy.
Another plus about The Henry: very friendly staff. I've found that most Strip restaurants have a cold or stand-offish staff with major chips on their shoulders, but not here. They make their customers feel at home. That's reason enough to come back!
