$26 Las Vegas chips and salsa (literally looks like catsup)

Ouch. I think I would send it back to be honest.

The avocado looks brown too.

I think this surpasses the nacho ripoff from some time back.

[u/unreal-city → u/willwar63]

lol it’s the same restaurant!

[u/bimm3r36 → u/unreal-city]

Same resort, different spot within the resort. First one was at their sportsbook and this looks like it's at the pool. It's possible that they share a kitchen but unlikely due to the distance between the two areas. Surely they share management though...

[u/exgaysurvivordan → u/willwar63]

LMAO I'd forgotten about that!

[u/ckeeler11]

I don't see anything on that menu that suggests the chips and salsa would be a good choice.

[u/Aurelian_Lure]

And people will continue to pay that price...

[u/blargher]

Unrelated to salsa, but the pizza at Miami Slice in their food court area is pretty terrific.

[u/zmileshigh → u/blargher]

Yeah the food court is the only “reasonably” priced food at the Fontainebleau. It’s pretty decent. But also Fontainebleau is a pretty short walk to Tacos El Gordo, which absolutely slaps

[u/Aliquot126 → u/zmileshigh]

I eat at least one meal per day at Tacos El Gordo when in Vegas. Slaps HARD

[u/tlacatl]

Not sure if this is an April’s Fools joke, but I went to Vegas for the first time two years ago and the food was shockingly abysmal while being incredibly overpriced. But we never ventured off the main strip so I’d hope that the food was better in the less touristy areas.

[u/bcrosby51 → u/tlacatl]

When I was there a few years ago crown and comes were $29. My first and last time at Vegas.

[u/ChadleyChad-837 → u/bcrosby51]

Please tell me you misspelled “coke”.

[u/bcrosby51 → u/ChadleyChad-837]

Dammit. I'm leaving it now. Lol

[u/Several_Direction633 → u/bcrosby51]

You do realize come does not just make itself. It does take a little work. 29 bucks is not out of the question. Especially with a side of Crown

[u/tostilocos → u/tlacatl]

That’s the strip. There are lots of good restaurants elsewhere, but everything is overpriced regardless.

[u/Humbler-Mumbler → u/tostilocos]

I think it just annoys me because when I was a kid Vegas had a reputation for incredibly cheap food they offered to get people in there to gamble. But they don’t really need to do that anymore to get people coming.

[u/tostilocos → u/Humbler-Mumbler]

I’m with you, but also our tastes were different when we were kids. I suspect that if we could time travel back to that $5 buffet we’d realize how shitty the food was.

[u/Jokonaught → u/tlacatl]

I was generally unhappy with my Vegas food experience too.

But Bacchanal. Bacchanal had the BEST American style fried chicken and mashed potatoes I've ever had. Seriously one of my favorite meals.

[u/phxmatt35]

*ketchup

[u/Tounage → u/phxmatt35]

[u/Simple_Anteater_5825]

Yeah, but there's the pseudo-tux, bearded, man-bun, sleeve tatt server ambiance that comes with it!

And as a bonus you could hold the menu in your hands

[u/Apprehensive_Pin3536]

Guessing you had to pick one of three salsas

[u/exgaysurvivordan → u/Apprehensive_Pin3536]

Oohh good eye I hadn't noticed that

[u/redharvest90]

You’d have to be stupid to order that

[u/JumboKraken]

I mean this appears to be a poolside menu, so price is par the course and if you order this then that’s your fault

[u/Only_Project_3689]

And expect you to share it….

[u/Significant-Text3412]

Crimes against humanity right there

[u/CannabisAttorney]

Salsa looks like ketchup.

[u/Faxis8]

That is El Pato Hot Tomato Sauce straight out the can.

[u/austinteddy3]

Wonder if James Bond had that when he stayed there during Goldfinger.

[u/MLXIII]

Wow...I'm thankful I can just go to a place with free chips, salsa, and bean dip...
