Given how the new year has started with global upheaval, you might be seeking out comfort food to calm your frayed nerves. May I suggest a visit to the newly remodeled Du-par's restaurant and bakery at the Suncoast Hotel and Casino in the Summerlin area?

Try their satisfying “Gourmet Meatloaf,” consisting of “all-natural chuck and mushroom gravy, served with buttery mashed potatoes, root vegetables, and savory spices,” as noted on the menu. The kitchen sends it out with a complimentary fresh and fluffy dinner roll—a nice little bow on top of a meal that recalls much simpler times. Other nostalgic, gravy-rich options include the pot roast, chicken pot pie, oven roasted turkey, and fried country steak.
The 24/7 Du-par’s is also a place to enjoy their famous buttermilk pancakes, omelets, French Toast, and pies. They proudly honor Vegas’ ever-growing Hawaiian population with “island favorites” like loco moco and the no-kidding “Big Kahuna Plate,” comprised of Portuguese sausage, spam, steamed rice, katsu soy, green onions, and two eggs.
The past is beautifully honored here, as it should be. (Image: Vegas 411)
If you didn’t know, Du-par’s is a Southern California institution that opened in 1938 in LA; the only one left there is the original Farmers Market location. Fortunately, Vegas is home to the only other Du-par’s. Be prepared to smile when you view the museum-quality, feel-good photos on the walls reflecting the restaurant’s history.
