    $2 Steak, Baked Potato, Salad, Dessert & Beverage In ‘90’s At Downtown “Horseshoe” Replaced Nearly $15 Slice Of Pizza

    $12 for a slice of pizza and they have the nerve to charge extra for a crappy little packet of dressing? Uh, no.

    As a non-local, I would say that Fat Tuesday is worth it. You get to keep the container, and you can reuse it at any Fat Tuesday location. I have one that I bring to Vegas every time, and I've saved a lot of money since refills are cheap. I have the mug shaped one though - much easier to carry around. I also have a vintage yard arm from my first trip to Vegas in 2008 that I'm thinking about sporting on my upcoming trip 😂

      Fat Tuesday is the best bargain in town. 32 oz refill for $16 A couple of those and Vegas gets real fun.

      They're so worth it. I recommend mixing the hurricane with octane 90. During the pandemic, fat tuesday sold the syrup mix online. Unfortunately, they stopped. If I would have known, I'd have 30 boxes of that syrup in my refrigerator right now 😢

    My top 3...
    1. The Vegas Sign... like you said... you have to go once
    2. Bodies... I've never went. Now I want to.
    3. Fat Tuesday's... if you're going to walk The Strip it's fine. As far as it being cold. Once you drink below where you're holding it.. no issues.
    Just my opinion. 😊

      ​@@NormaGeliTipping at fast food places like an ice cream/gelato shop is unnecessary. No shame in not tipping there. Nevada isn't a tip credit state so restaurants servers get paid hourly at least the minimum wage or more which $12 per hour, but most jobs pay at least $15 per hour.
