Sin-n-Out

Well, of COURSE while in Sin City we went to In-n-Out...it would have been my first meal there if it hadn't closed at 1:30am Friday morning!  We arrived in Vegas about 10pm on Thursday night and everyone (minus me) had a poker tournament to be in at 11pm.  Once my husband and darling friend Lindsay were done I wanted to go to In-n-Out...well...much to my surprise...it's the only "family friendly" burger joint in Sin City, therefore it is NOT open 24 hours...SAY WHAT???  Totally disappointed of course, but we still  made it there...No worries!

Our friends had a very important World Series of Poker Tournament on Saturday afternoon, so Rylan and I gave In-n-Out another shot.  We didn't have a rental car, but we grabbed a cab right outside the resort and told the cabbie our food destination.  The cab ride from the south end of the strip is about $10, but worth every penny!  We arrived at In-n-Out at about 1pm and it was PACKED!  Rightfully so, these people know what's good for them....mentally...not physically.

Rylan scooped up a seat with a couple older gals from Maryland while I waited in line.  I didn't get my usual "animal style" number two, but just the regular number two...which I'm sure makes some people go number two...cuz animal style or not...it's a greasy gob of goodness!!!! (Did I just go a little too far there...hmmm).  Anyhow, a number two straight up is a cheeseburger and fries...you need to ask for onions or pickle if you want it.  Rylan got no onion, but I said "bring it on!"!  They also have fountain 7up which makes Rylan happy...and I had diet coke! 

When I finally got our food, which took about 15 minutes (the line was pure insanity), I was in heaven!!!!  Everything was perfect...just like I remembered.  The burgers are a bit medium well, so if you want ZERO pink, ask for it to be well done.  The burger sauce is to die for, but I'm sure it's just something simple...like thousand island dressing.  And the fries, perfectly mediumly cooked (I just made up the word "mediumly", but it works)...if you like them less or more cooked, you can ask for that.  Everything is freshly made, never frozen, and the fries come from real potatoes...hahaha! What more could you ask for.  I ate EVERY bite!  I didn't get the Neapolitan shake I was dying for, but I knew I'd be stuffed to the brim....turns out I could have shoved more in my gullet but I didn't want to be rolled out of there.

Needless to say, as always, we left with a disappointment scale of ZERO...it was as wonderful as we expected.  While I'm sad they wouldn't let me open a franchise here in Washington...I think it's THAT much more special that I get to have it at least once a year...I'm good with that. :)

Many of you may have heard of the In-n-Out "secret menu"...it's not a secret, but here it is on their website:

There are a million places to eat in Vegas...and a burger joint on every block...however...this foodie will recommend In-n-Out every time!
