Las Vegas Mixtape v3: Freewheeling In Vegas: Shows, Eateries, Movie Theaters, and a Mind-Altering Museum

Track #4: The Sundry at The Uncommons

Vegas has been dubbed “California East” since many Cali restaurants and stores have outposts here. The close relationship between both is saluted at The Sundry, the new food hall showcasing a “renowned lineup of top chefs and rising stars from Las Vegas and California.” You’ll find it located in The Uncommons, a development with apartments, offices, stores, and restaurants in the booming southwest area.

We had excellent chicken tikka masala with basmati rice from Dhaba Ji (a spin-off of its flagship Santa Barbara restaurant) as well as fried chicken tenders, French fries, and the transcendent mac and cheese from the Oakland-originated Kowbird. It’s fun to grab a table in this soaring modern space awash with light and then order (via your phone) from many “food concepts” whose chefs work out of a communal kitchen. The service is notably helpful, particularly for the tech-challenged.

On my way out of The Sundry, which includes two full-service restaurants and four bars, I couldn’t resist stopping at Saint Honore. This Vegas-owned doughnut patisserie impresses with its dulce de leche donut with salted caramel. Hoping The Sundry continues to find success; there’s looming competition from the many eateries on track to open at Durango Casino and Resort, which is just across the road and debuts in late November.
