While hanging around the Plaza in Downtown Las Vegas right at the head of the Fremont Street Experience I went looking for something to eat. I found myself at the Hash House A Go Go, which is just inside the Plaza next to their lobby.

The decor is kind of industrial looking with all the diamond plate steel everywhere. It looked very clean and crisp. I really liked how they had the napkins rolled up long and thin and then placed on the tables in the pattern of a large X. I don`t know why that looked so cool but it did.

I`m kind of a burger guy and even though they have a full menu of steaks and such I went with the Blue Cheese Burger. It`s a one-pound burger stuffed with blue cheese. It`s more like two half-pound burgers stacked with the `stuffing` between the two.

When it arrived it had a huge steak knife sticking out of it with a branch of some decorative plant but it was obvious right off the bat that there was no way I was going to pick up this burger and eat it. It also included a side of French fries that were not too thin and not too thick, not too crispy and not too soft. For my palette they were just right.

Breaking out the knife and fork I attacked the burger with a hungry zeal. That first bite was about the best bite of a burger I had ever had. The blue cheese was tangy but not over powering as it can be. The bun was good, although I couldn`t finish it and the burger as one pound of beef on a huge bun is a bit too much even for a big guy like myself. Although I`m sure many can finish it in one setting but not me.

There was also a swipe of BBQ sauce on the front and back edges of the plate and I have to say it was pretty darn good. It was kind of on the sweet side but it went well with the blue cheese and it was even good to dip the fries in it as well.

The service was OK but nothing special. They did top off my soda but I didn`t get the customary, `is everything all right?` question.

The price for my burger, soda, and tip was right around $20 so it is a bit pricey and the other meals were also as or more expensive. This isn`t a place for someone on a tight budget although, you will walk out with a fully belly no matter how much or little you spend.

No review of the Hash House A Go Go is complete without talking about their world famous breakfasts. For instance their French Toast made with their signature Amish style bread dipped in a banana cinnamon cream with pecan maple syrup. A breakfast legend. Not to mention their giant sized flapjacks. They also have some interesting dishes otherwise known as `House Hashes`. One of these dishes is chicken, roasted garlic, and topped with two eggs. They also have their Hash House famous meatloaf, roasted red peppers, fresh spinach and smoked mozzarella, also topped with two eggs.

Being at the Plaza this place is a little off the beaten path but if you find yourself in the area looking for a delicious yet twisted `farm food` meal then this is a worthwhile place to stop.
