I know some of you are thinking, what’s the big deal about a fast-food meal in Las Vegas? That isn’t the reason you come to this town. But this one is significant for several reasons.
First of all, McDonald’s pulled out of the D and the Plaza over the summer. There are no McDonald’s in the downtown area. Sometimes you just want a quick bite.
Secondly, Steak ‘n Shake is more short-order cooking than fast food. I’d rate it quite a bit better than the Burger King, McDonald’s, Checkers, etc. options.
Third, $5.99 barely gets you a cup of coffee in many places. So getting a full meal for $6 is quite a find.
Finally, the Fremont Food Hall is an attractive place to visit and eat, with other good choices for good quick meals.
As a bonus, if you’re downtown and don’t want to walk to the Downtown Grand via 3rd Street , you can cut through the Fremont casino, exit the north doors, and be very close to the Grand.
