Guy Fieri's El Burro Borracho Opens Today!

December 29, 2014

Laughlin, NV


Harrah's Laughlin will open ‪‎Guy Fieri's new restaurant, El Burro Borracho today, December 29th at 4pm. 

Matt A., contributed an advance look at some of the delicious menu items and a mini-review of his experience at a pre-opening tasting.   





Here is some of what Matt had to say after the dinner. 

Everyone GO to el burro borracho. The food was amazing! I was lucky enough to get a vip pass before the opening to test the food.  Happy Michekke was my dinner date and we had a blast!
We had the guacamole and chips for an appetizer where they bring out all the ingredients and make it at the table. This allows you to say "no cilantro" as michekke did say as she can not stand it!! The flavor was very good and the chips were very thick and crisp and clearly handmade. They also slip in a pork rind also.
We got the carne asada fajitas and carnitas burrito. We split these so we were able to taste a little of each. The fajitas were very good the carne asada was perfect!! However the carnitas burrito was mouth watering I would get this again and again.
We also tried a habanero salsa. Never order this!! It is $3.00 and you might as well pour gasoline and light a match this was hot i almost was in tears and i like hot but this was satan!
For desert we have the drunk donkey banana sopapillas... Im not a fan of sweets to much but based in michekke i would say it was very good
I had a whisky drink "oak tree barrel" it was incredibly strong!!!  






He also shared the what the bill would of been.


Prices seem a bit high, but in our opinion this is the sort of place that you can easily share items because the portions are large.  This cuts the tab down and allows you to try different thinks. The drinks are what are going to run up the bill faster!

For an advance look at the El Burro Borracho menu visit here. 

Word is that Guy Fieri, may be at Harrahs Laughlin next Sunday if you want to catch a glimpse of him.   We can't wait to give the food and signature drinks a try.

Jay Leno coming to Edgewater Casino E-Center

Laughlin, NV

Comedian and former host of the Tonight Show, Jay Leno, will be appearing at the Edgewater E-Center in Laughlin, NV on Saturday, March 7th for one show only.




We recall hearing a few (albeit not all that funny jokes) Jay included in older acts about Laughlin.  



And Wells Fargo, who got almost $25 billion in bailout money, has canceled a pricey 12-day corporate trip to Las Vegas. And I think they learned their lesson, because they really scaled things back. They're not doing Vegas anymore. Now, it's a one-day pie eating contest in Laughlin.


The MGM in Las Vegas has a new service. It is an IV drip that consists of vitamins. It is for people who get dehydrated if they party too hard. But if you go to Laughlin, you get some Gatorade and Valtrex.



Tickets for the Jay Leno show in Laughlin range from $55 to $105 and may be purchased at the Edgewater Casino or online here.

Candy Cane Lane on Laughlin Riverwalk

Laughlin, NV

Pioneer Casino - Riverwalk



We were happy to see the Pioneer got their Candy Cane Lane up again this year.   For awhile we were thinking they might not.   We had seen employees working to prepare them just a few days ago.  

Stop by and check it out right on the Laughlin Riverwalk behind the Pioneer Casino.  It is located right under the large River Rick (cowboy) sign.  In fact, at night it is somewhat bathed in the orange glow from the sign.

We expect the display will be up through Christmas and perhaps until New Years but....we recommend you go see it soon.  Winds off the River could blow it around if they pick up later on.

Sneak Peek at Menu - Guy Fieri's El Burro Borracho

Laughlin, NV

El Burro Borracho is only days from opening!

We just had to share a sneak peek at the menu of the new Guy Fieri restaurant, El Burro Borracho at Harrah's Laughlin.   Looks like there will be a soft opening on December 29th*. 

While you can't fully see everything on the menu, you can see it is virtually all high end Mexican based selections.     (Click on photo's to see a larger view)


Drinks


Burritos, Fajitas, Enchiladas and Build Your Own Platters

Signature Items




Desserts
 Preparations are underway for the opening.  Here are a couple interior shots shared on our Laughlin Buzz Facebook Group Page (Join the Group Here)





Drinks look like they will feature domestic, imported and draft selections.  Plus specialty Margaritas, Cocktails, and Brain Freezes.  The drink menu looks very similar to that of Guy Fieri's Kitchen and Bar in Las Vegas.  It may not be for everyone be we have tried and loved the Austin Sweet Tea. 

Prices look high end as to be expected.  They are very similar to Vegas pricing too, which may not go over as easily in the Laughlin market.  This remains to be seen.  But remember, portions most likely will be very big and share-able.  This is Total Rewards connected so using your players club will get you a buck off on most food items.   See our review here when we visited his other restaurant. 

Stay tuned for more news on the opening.

Big Easy Deli coming to Colorado Belle

Laughlin, NV
Colorado Belle Hotel/Casino

If you have been to the Colorado Belle you may or may not have noticed the little snack bar deli located by the small Sports Book.   The spot is being transformed into the newest eatery and will be called the Big Easy Deli.  We first heard about this back in September from Joe Klein on our Laughlin Buzz Facebook Page.   The opening date is not yet set but expected in early 2015.

When we were there the other day it was under construction with workers busily going in and out of the door and black plastic sheeting.  



Word is the Deli will be much improved, bigger, and open 24 hours (don't quote us on that one just yet as it may change).  

We also noticed some innovative use of Duct Tape to keep prying eyes from looking behind the curtain!

Beautiful December on the Colorado River in Laughlin

Laughlin, NV

The water flow (controlled upstream) by the dams was low on the Colorado River today.   We got a few shots of the River along the Riverwalk in Laughlin.

Even though it was overcast and only brief moments of sun it was a beautiful day.  57 degrees in Laughlin is considered by most to be "chilly" but with no wind today it was very nice.

Looking up river by the Colorado Belle.  You can see where the "normal" level for the River is. 



Looking across the Colorado River to the Bullhead City, Arizona side

Looking down river.  Pioneer Casino Cowboy sign (River Rick) lurking in the palm trees

No docking - Dangerous Undertow.  Just not today. 

No Wind makes the 57 degrees seem nice.

Despite how nice it was, very few people were out on the Riverwalk.

Laughlin Standoff and Robbery Suspect in Cuffs

Laughlin, NV



Needles Hwy / El Mirage Way

The suspect in the robbery of the 76 gas station on Needles Hwy in Laughlin is in custody. Apparently the robbery took place around 7:30AM.

He was hiding at the Colorado Bay apartments near El Mirage and Needles Hwy by the Catholic Church.  Swat Teams from Las Vegas, local Las Vegas Metro Police, Bullhead City Police, K9 unit, plus many others responded and he was apprehended without incident or harm to anyone.  Congrats to all the Law Enforcement parties involved for a quick, safe, and well executed response.

There is no confirmation to the speculation that this may have been the same person who robbed Aldapes Market earlier this month.

Update on developing story:
Police have named the suspect- Steven Alaniz. 

According to the Las Vegas Review Journal: 
“He got away with less than $300,” said Donna Sebolt, a cashier at the Mobil station. She said she was not sure if the man was armed.   The robber’s disguise — a black bandana over his face and a pair of sunglasses — was “not very good,” Sebolt said. 
“He was very calm,” she said. “It was very strange.”
