There’s not a whole lot to get excited about with the restaurant line-up of two at Las Vegas’ newest casino, Cadence Crossing. There’s the Tin Lizard Bar & Grill and Tacos Los Gauchos is the 24-hour restaurant. We were there for the special: a $5.99 cheeseburger & fries.
Tin Lizard
The burger is in Tin Lizard. It’s a sit-down room that’s connected to one of Cadence’s two bars, so you can eat inside or at the bar. We chose the bar, where the TVs are tuned to sports, and the beverage if free if you play a bit. The young female bartender was super friendly and quick to take the order (they’re all like that when a place has just opened). Tin Lizard serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The Burger
The cheeseburger comes with tomato, lettuce, and onion and a stack of fries. It’s supposed to include a pickle, but ours didn’t. It’s advertised as a quarter-pounder, but that seemed like a stretch, and they don’t ask how you want it cooked, which means rare isn’t an option anyway. The toppings were fresh. The bartender brought condiments. No complaints for $5.99. You’re required to have a Boyd Rewards card.
The Verdict
So where did this $5.99 burger & fries idea come from? The Station Casinos deal, perhaps? Of course it did. So showing up second, you’d expect they’d either make it better or sell it for less. They did neither. The Stations burger is bigger and better for the same price. It’s also available in more places and 24/7, whereas Tin Lizard is open 7 to 9 p.m. weekdays and 10 p.m. weekends. That said, it’s definitely a good deal. If you’re checking out the newest place in town, grab one.
