They are incredible. They serve sustainable and organic menu options that are usually otherwise sinful like burgers and fries. Of course they serve salads but they are huge and you can add fish, poultry or exotic proteins like bison or elk.

This place is all about stimulating the senses and it's definitely worth checking out at least once! I recommend going in the evening when it is dark to experience it to its fullest potential. This is when you can really see all the glowing lights and the night sky bright from the flashing billboards. The streets are usually crowded with tourists and traffic so wear comfortable shoes! You will not be able to drive through the thick of it.
