Yeah, I'd definitely explore other cuisines in Vegas. I'm sure there are some imported KC- or Texas-style joints out there somewhere, but nothing to write home about.
I'm not really one for the celebrity chefs on the Strip...last time we went, we drove downtown and wandered around that park made out of shipping containers and hit a restaurant a block or so from there. Wish I had written down names...we had great food and there seemed to be half a dozen or so up-and-coming bars and restaurants that *didn't* have the usual casino vibe to them. |
I seriously miss the departed Doug's Barbecue in Emeryville.

For those of your based in Florida, you should definitely try 4Rivers Smokehouse. They have 13 locations. https://4rsmokehouse.com/

First I visited Vegas regularly, then I lived there. I can't ever remember eating BBQ there or frankly even wanting to. I think you should focus on different cuisines while there then double down in KC.

Okay, focusing on KC, we've been to Arthur Bryant's and to Jack Stack; both were phenomenal. What would be the next bucket list place in KC - Joe's? Gates? Somewhere else?

I would be absolutely shocked if there isn't at least one damn good BBQ joint in Vegas. Not Franklin's, but good.

The Pecan Lodge - Dallas, TX
Great space in this trendy up and coming neighborhood just off downtown which has outdoor and indoor seating. They also have numerous beers on tap. Perfect menu and everything we ordered was delicious. Great ribs, brisket and pulled pork plus, burnt ends! The mac & cheese was also outstanding. |

How does that compare with North Carolina BBQ (eastern or western)?

Looks interesting. I'm in Downtown Raleigh a lot but I haven't been there. I'll make sure to give it a try.
