YUM! Located diagnal from The District, House of Kabob is in a desolate shopping center. One would think it is a great location but all the business is across the street.
Super cute, great tables, outside seating, nice artwork and decor, good silverware, friendly staff, and super delicious food! Everything a great restaurant needs, well, that and customers. We came about 8pm on a Thursday night and there were a few people that came and went. The prices are super great and actually cheap considering the exquisite food and nice atmosphere. They have one tv that was playing sports that I did not care for but one guy that was there with his date was watching it more than his date and that bothered me. And I found out later you can order online! So neat. I had the koobideh and my aunt had lubia polo. I loved mine, I am 5'3 and 125lbs and ate it ALL. Maybe gross, but it was so good and I didn't want to share the deliciousness with anyone else :P
They have lunch and dinner portions available and I think it would be great place for lunch or dinner with friends or for a date.

Me snacking on the yummiest bread!

I forgot to take a picture before I started. Oops. 

The plate was FULL of rice, two skewers of koobideh, and a grilled tomato. So delicious.

Best lunch ever! (until tomorrow)

i wish I would have taken pictures! I totally forgot. 

I love this place. 

The owner (I think) was so super friendly and attentive and the food was fabulous and really great prices! Everything is under $10. I want to go back for lunch tomorrow. Yum-o. The food was absolutely fresh and the kitchen was super clean (from what I could see)

I recommend this place for sure. It is a dive but super clean and friendly nice staff. Nice decorations and I felt comfortable but they do not have a true public restroom (its in the back thru the kitchen) which is kinda weird but not a deal breaker because it was super clean, the food was so good, and the service was above and beyond.

Located in a little strip mall, my aunt and I went here today for lunch and both had the ceviche. I had the fish ceviche which was delish and she had the shrimp ceviche with serrano peppers. Her dish was so freakin spicy but it tasted so good. Next time we might ask for less or on the side and mix it ourselves. I also loved the chips and salsa.
It was the best service too!

The B3 Burrito at The Nascar Cafe in the Sahara Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas Nevada

Brian and I stayed at the Sahara Thursday and Friday night of our Vegas trip. At Check-in we received coupons, some were for The Nascar Cafe others for gambling and so on. The first night we used a coupon for The Nascar Cafe, get the 180 OZ beer tower and receive a free pound of curly fries. YUM. 

After the cafe Brian used another coupon. Buy $40 in chips and recieve $10 free. Or somethin like that. So we went at played BLACK JACK. SO much fun! (My second time playing. The first time was at the MGM, picture below)



The day after the 180 OZ Beer tower Brian wanted to win the food challenge at The Nascar Cafe. It is called the B3.

Friday morning, first thing we did was walk downstairs for Brian's challenge.

He is SO excited about this!

"Oh wow" is the look on his face. He is getting in the zone.

This kid was hilarious! He kept cheering Brian on and talking to him. He had a funny accent and a cute personality.


Almost halfway!

Halfway! And defeated.

Wearing the shirt they give you if you lose.
