Greek Food Festival Coming Up!

In two weeks, Las Vegas’s best Greek restaurant will open for only three days.

It’s about the only time all year ELV gets excited about Greek food (along with when he gets invited to a relative’s house)  and he will be tending bar (and over-serving ouzoritas to himself) next |Friday night if you’d like to drop by.

In the meantime, we’ll look forward to gorging ourselves on  Las Vegas’s  best Greek cooking, Friday-Sunday, Sept. 27-29.

Kali orixi!
