Las Vegas Mixtape v18: Ringo Starr’s Agelessness, the “Other Chinatown,” and More

Track #4: Promenade Food Hall @Fontainebleau Las Vegas

The Fontainebleau Las Vegas has many high-end signature dining experiences, such as Papi Steak, the Chyna Club, and Ito. The latter, on the hotel’s top floor, features a Japanese omakase menu and stunning views for 12 guests (presumably jackpot winners).

But there’s a more affordable way to experience the ultra-luxe hotel’s culinary options. Take the escalator to the Promenade food hall on the mezzanine level.

There, you can choose from multiple food concepts like: NYC celebrity chef Josh Capon’s Capon’s Burgers; Roadside Taco out of LA; Miami imports El Bagel and Miami Slice; and the premium sushi-focused Bar Ito, sister-concept to the above-mentioned Ito.

Feeling in a Los Angeles mood, I ordered a very good Chilaquiles burrito from Roadside Taco. But when I asked for some salsa, they shockingly told me it wasn’t offered with my food choice, and they were “out of hot sauce.” Hmm.

I followed this with a stellar chocolate-hazelnut creation from Break, a casual coffee shop with light bites. I enjoyed the dessert from a table with an awe-inspiring view of the grand casino below.
