Secret Pizza Las Vegas Cosmopolitan Casino

Hidden Pizza - The Cosmopolitan Casino, Las Vegas



After a number of trips to Las Vegas, we finally made time to look for the hidden "secret" Pizzeria, that I was told about by some locals.

New York style pizza in Las Vegas.

Not so a secret anymore, as many bloggers are now revealing the location. The hotel concierge is also a great help, for those that cant remember directions at 3am in the morning.

Located on the 3rd floor of the ever so metro, 3 year old, Cosmopolitan Hotel/Casino.

To be accurate, look for a lounge type set up, with a pool table, on level 3, as you reach the top of the escalator, between the Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar, and Jaleo restaurants is a dark corridor.


Located down a lonely corridor, filled with old memorabilia posters of Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka (who?) and the like, you will see a pinball machine, and then the PIZZA everyone lines up for after midnight.



Menu is typical New York style. Cheese pizza, mushroom, ricotta, sausage, pepperoni, thin, Grimaldi's style. Or they also offer the thick Lasagne Sicilian style pizza, found at L&B spumoni in Brooklyn (Bensonhurst).

Gordon Ramsay's Burger Bar Las Vegas

Updated:
Jan 2014 - Burgers are still good. This time I had the Americana Bgr.  Garlic fries are excellent.  Great atmosphere.  Waited at the bar for only 15 min (pretty good for the USA).




Within the bright lights and sin city of Las Vegas, lies Gordon Ramsays latest culnery fab. Its called "BURGR", note the GR initials that make up Burger/Gordon Ramsay.

Located within the Planet Hollywood Casino (Miracle Mile Shops).

This is worth the 40minute wait. 

Simple menu of hamburgers, fries and hot dogs spelt DAWGS.

Atmosphere is that of a typical US sports bar, with Plasmas all around, a bar at the front for those that want a quick eat, or table setting inside, overlooking the open kitchen. You can even request to sit on a bench facing the kitchen. 

No sign of Gordo, but Im sure some of he chefs are easy recognisable from one of his many TV shows. 



Chanterelle Burger - Mushroom $16 

Sweet Potatoe Fries, sprinkled with Vanilla sugar.  $9

I give it a 8/10 rating. I still enjoy my San Fran Burgers at Hubert Kellers, Burger Bar
