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

Wasn't that impressed by Gates, but I can fully recommend Oklahoma Joe's. One you don't mention that should never be passed on while you are in KC is LC's. The burnt ends and rib tips are to die for there.

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.

Well it's pretty far from Eastern NC BBQ which is a very unique, and to many a very acquired, taste. As far as Western NC it was closer, but not as sweet as Lexington BBQ. The slaw was better too, I'm not really a fan of Western NC slaw.
