| - We located this brand new spot in LV a couple weeks ago whilst attempting to find a spot to have lunch. My brother and I were traipsing all over the Palazzo and I had decided to take him to lunch at First Food & Bar upstairs. Unfortunately some changes must have been made at First because they routed us downstairs to Rattlecan, stating that the menu was by the same chef and so would be similar.
Well - yes and no. For starters, Rattlecan is kind of synonymous with everything that I hate about the cheesiest parts of Las Vegas. Garrish, loud decor spills out from around every corner and pops out of every wall. The Urban Daddy piece written about RC describes it as "This feels like a place where Axl Rose would have started a fight on the Appetite for Destruction tour," but my response to that is "Not hardly."
For one the menu is priced way to high for anybody on the Appetite for Destruction tour. For too, I doubt Axl Rose would have ventured past the entrance to the restaurant after casting his eye inward.
Anyway...the food, which is REALLY what this is about. We had the Pastrami Sandwich and Mini Wagyu Burgers.
The Pastrami sandwich was very serviceable, along with the mini Wagyu sliders, although, I seriously doubt that the sliders were made with real Wagyu. Tasted like burger meat to me.
Unfortunately I'm going to have to pass on this experience and I can't really recommend it to others. The food was decent, and the service was good too, but at the end of the day there are just tons and tons of better choices to be made in Las Vegas. At the price point these guys are charging you are better off venturing elsewhere, such as First Food & Bar or even a lower end steakhouse for their bar menu.
