ELV POSTS CORRECTION: We mistakenly reported that Woo in The Palazzo had closed. We discovered last night that reports of its death had been greatly exaggerated. All bets are off, however, on its chances for survival. ELV blames his staff and regrets the error.
Now, back to reality.
The headline in Nation’s Restaurant News in June said: “Vegas refuses to fold as economy craps out.” By late September that same banner read: “Hard luck befalls Las Vegas following U.S. housing bust.”
Leave it to a local food writer (and his publisher) to give credit to ELV without mentioning us by name. So in the spirit of graciousness, collegial respect and big-heartedness for which he is known, ELV hereby refers you to a nice article in a certain free ‘zine, by a certain writer (who is known to ELV), touting the merits of Los Molcajetes.
We’re shocked….Shocked!
Eating Las Vegas thought all they did up there was get Kool-Aid-ed and cookie’d up whenever a good time was at hand, but as this video shows, there’s some nifty wine to be bought there if you ever decide to cut loose and ignore the preachings of this guy.
Thanks to Greg Thilmont (An Official Friend Of ELV, and now a SLC food-writer-in-residence) for keeping in touch and opening our eyes.
