Food Diary: Eating Our Way Through the Day

Posted on | by Plaza Hotel
Plaza breakfast 7:00 a.m. The alarm clock went off and there was no hitting snooze. We had a lot to get to at the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, but before we could do anything, whether work or play, we needed to eat a solid breakfast. The best way to start the day is with breakfast at Hash House A Go Go. One of our favorite dishes there is the classic Boston Hash – crispy potatoes, mixed onions and fresh tomatoes crowned with blue crab cake drizzled with horseradish cream and served with eggs and fresh fruit. After a breakfast of that magnitude we were almost ready to begin the day. We just needed to stop by Cafelatte for a Lavazza coffee first. 12:32 p.m. Before we knew it, it was already time for lunch. We were still a little full from breakfast and were busy making the most of the day so we opted for something quick and easy at Pop Up Pizza. We indulged in a slice of cheese, but also had a salad. Mom always said eat your veggies! 5:00 p.m. Five o’clock rolled around. It was a busy and productive day, but now it was time to relax and enjoy the evening. It was a beautiful fall day in Vegas. Today’s sky was a mix of pink, orange and red as the sun set. We headed to the Bier Garten for a craft beer and to enjoy the sights and sounds of Downtown Las Vegas from the outdoor area. In addition to our beers, we ordered a giant pretzel and wurst to share as a snack before dinner. Bier Garten food and drinks 6:52 p.m. We had a reservation at Oscar’s for 7 p.m. so we headed upstairs to the restaurant. The decor of Oscar’s is glamorous. It incorporates memorabilia from Oscar Goodman’s 12-year tenure as mayor as well as classic photographs of Las Vegas from over the years. It makes you feel like a star. We started with some calamari and chose the pork chop for the entrée. The calamari was nice and crispy on the outside and the pork chop had been perfectly seared. Not a bad way to wrap up another fun day at the Plaza. Oscar's calamari Oscar's pork chop

Lasvegaslights   If you are lucky enough to fly into Las Vegas at night, you’ll see the bright neon lights all over the city. We think Las Vegas is an amazing city and when you stay at the Plaza Hotel and Casino, you’ll get some of the best that this city has to offer for a very affordable price and don’t just take our word for it!
Plaza Bed There are lots of choices in Sin City for places to lay your tired head after a night of eating, drinking and gaming, which is why we go out of our way to make the Plaza one of the most comfortable hotel rooms in Las Vegas.  Our rooms were renovated less than two years ago. They may have a discounted price, but they do not have a discounted look! The rooms are the largest of all the downtown Las Vegas hotels. Our rooms have soft comfortable beds; the bathrooms have gorgeous raised sink vanities and fluffy absorbent towels. There are also small special touches like bottled water, wireless internet access, cable TV and more.  You’ll agree with Goldilocks when she says, “This bed is just right,” when you sleep like a baby with us at the Plaza.
Plaza Slots   I’ll bet on anything that moves.”- Oscar Goodman Are you like Oscar Goodman, Las Vegas former mayor and owner of Oscar’s-Beef, Booze and Broads? We bet you are! The Plaza Casino has it all; table games, slots, poker, sports book, tournaments and more! While we have all types of ways to game, our casino is large and spacious. So you can enjoy the excitement of playing without constantly bumping into fellow players.  Also, the Plaza has the only Bingo hall in downtown! Whether you enjoy the electronic cards or paper and daubers, the Plaza has you covered.
Freemont Street “I love Las Vegas. I like that Las Vegas has everything. Everything and anything you want to do, you can do in Las Vegas.”- Drew Carey We agree with Drew. You can practically do anything in Las Vegas that you want! It does help to be staying in a prime location though. The Plaza is located at the top of the downtown Fremont Experience where just about anything you would want to do is within walking distance. Just steps away there is everything from restaurants, casinos, bars, shopping and beautiful Vegas show girls! Not only is the Plaza in a great location, we also have some of the best resturants in downtown located right on property. Try tender juicy steaks at Oscar’s, a dragon roll at Island Sushi and Grill Express, pizza at Pop Up Pizza or for a quick bite, check out our food court. We have food for every taste and budget! “Man, I really like Vegas.”- Elvis Presley Thank you Elvis, thank you very much! Las Vegas loves you right back! Isn’t it time to book your trip to the Plaza?

Why You Should Cool Off at the Plaza Hotel & Casino and Beat the Vegas Heat!

Posted on | by Plaza Staff
No need to fear the summer heat. Cooling off has never been so much fun and entertaining. Soak 75 at the Plaza Hotel is the summer entertainment series to ensure that catching those rays and cooling off at a pool and hotel in Las Vegas are loads of fun. The pool deck is open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays from 8 am to 8 pm. Las Vegas pool party Fridays, enjoy drink specials and the smoothing acoustics of Cameron from 4 pm to 8 pm poolside.  Saturdays bring more drink specials and the energy of DJ Ryno from 2 pm to 6 pm. When you’re ready for a little A/C go on inside. There are just as many things to do and ways to stay and be cool at the Plaza. Pool parties happen at many different venues and attract hundreds of people each day. The best way to enjoy them is to arrive early, stake out your spot and enjoy the water as people flood in throughout the day. Happy hour at one of many bars is always an option as well. Something about an ice cold beer or cocktail sure makes it easy to forget the heat and take your relaxation to the next level. There is also plenty on offer as far as Las Vegas entertainment goes. From shows to casino floors, and plenty of great dining options, this city has everything you could possibly want and more. Enjoying the air conditioning in any number of locations can provide a welcome break so check out a museum, eat in one of the countless buffets or restaurants, sit back and enjoy. Summer temperatures bring a little sizzle almost everywhere. Only in Las Vegas does the fun and entertainment out-sizzle the heat.
