I'd be remiss if I let my trip to Vegas end without a shout-out to this stand in the Fashion Mall Food Court.
I stopped by my last afternoon in town, looking for a quick bite that wasn't going to cost me the earth. I ordered their gyro, which was sliced off the spit and grilled - not those horrible pre-made slices. The sandwich was perfectly fine, with a decent tzatziki sauce, onions and tomatoes, and a nicely griddled pita. My platter came with a passable Greek salad and some boring rice. For a mall food court, this would have been enough to please.
However, when I mentioned how glad I was to see a family food stand selling real Greek food in a mall food court, the woman behind the register smiled, and offered me a container of lemon-egg soup (avgolemono), gratis. Boy, am I glad I took her up on it.
Best. Avgolemono. Ever.
I'll admit that my opinion might be colored by surprise. I never would have expected such a flavorful, delicious soup to come out of a mall. I snarfed every last bit, and nearly scraped through the styrofoam bowl, getting every drop.
Believe it or not, that soup was the food highlight of my stay in Vegas. I spent easily ten times more for meals at some of the five-star restaurants in town, and this one meal put them all to shame.
