Carson Street Café AMERICAN Here’s a slightly better-than-adequate hotel<br />
coffee shop, though it’s a mixed bag in terms of quality of food. Sandwiches are<br />
better than ribs, burgers, and fries, all of which are merely just filling. On the other<br />
hand, the linguine with shrimp is surprisingly good, while desserts, especially pecan<br />
pie a la mode and the famous bread pudding (former Golden Nugget owner Steve<br />
Wynn’s mom’s own recipe and a heavily guarded secret) more than earn their rep.<br />
In the Golden Nugget, 129 E. Fremont St. (between 1st St. and Casino Center Blvd.). & 702/385-7111.<br />
Reservations not accepted. Main courses $6–$15. AE, DC, DISC, MC, V. Daily 24 hr.<br />
El Sombrero Cafe MEXICAN This kind of hole-in-the-wall Mexican<br />
joint can be found all over California but not always so readily elsewhere. It’s<br />
also the kind of family-run (since 1950) place increasingly forced out of <strong>Vegas</strong><br />
by giant hotel conglomerates, making it even more worth your time (it’s becoming<br />
harder and harder, particularly in Downtown, to find budget options that<br />
serve food that is more than just mere fuel). Mexican-food fans in particular<br />
should seek out this friendly place, though it’s not in an attractive part of town.<br />
Portions are generous, better than average, and unexpectedly spicy. They also<br />
cater to special requests—changing the beef burrito to a chicken one (an option<br />
that comes highly recommended), for example, without batting an eyelash. The<br />
enchilada and taco combo also won raves.<br />
807 S. Main St. & 702/382-9234. Everything under $10. AE, MC, V. Mon–Sat 11am–9:30pm.
