Local Corner—Jackpot Bar and Grill
4360 S. Decatur, 702-463-0333
A lot of bars in Las Vegas have 24-hour kitchens. The food tends to be good and they’re always handy as late-night dining options. They’re also relatively similar, so when we find one that stands out, we like to shine a light. What makes Jackpot different is that the owner also owns the Aloha Kitchen restaurants around town and the menu is more varied than usual, including several island specialties.
Breakfasts are all priced around $10, with choices of traditional eggs/meat platters, omelets, Benedicts, longaniza (Filipino, similar to chorizo and linguiça), and loco moco (Hawaiian). Two excellent choices are the Jackpot Benedict and the huevos rancheros. The Benedict ($12.99) is topped with steak—advertised as six ounces, but ours was bigger—and a mild Hollandaise. The huevos rancheros uses (non-hot) spices that you don’t usually find in this dish, including a good slug of cilantro that gives it a zing. Just about everything we’ve tried here has been good, including the chicken Caesar salad ($11.88), cheesesteaks ($9.99/$10.99), slawstrami ($8.88), potstickers ($8.88), and garlic edamame ($5.99). But the clincher is the $7.77 burger & beer special. Served with fries and a stack of fixin’s, a temperature notation on the bill ensures that it’s cooked the way you want it (and if you want it rare, tell Katie behind the bar and she’ll see to it). Available 24/7, this is one of our favorite burger deals in town.
Jackpot is located about two miles from the Strip, just north of Tropicana Avenue. It’s a video poker bar that runs some decent gambling specials, including a current “pass the football” promo during Kansas City Chiefs games.
