OX TAIL SOUP IN LAS VEGAS CALIFORNIA HOTEL'S MARKET ST. CAFE

Locals from Hawaii share one particular destination that is always visited, and these cities below are not some of them, well maybe a few Hawaiians will venture there but when I'm talking about Hawaiians from Hawaii in bulk travel, there's only one city that rocks! But just for fun, these 10 cities below aren't it.

Again these destinations are not it...the city I am talking about is non other than Las Vegas, Nevada...that's right, Sin City!!!!

Why would anyone plan 6 trips a year to Sin City? For one it's still a cheap jaunt for Hawaiians, and there's gambling all night long, Hawaiians love that especially during the football season. Their favorite hotels? Anyone of the Boyd Gaming properties. The one in particular I am talking about is the California Hotel located at 12 E. Ogden Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89101 (702) 385-1222 it is rated a 3 star hotel.

Since this is a food blog, I won't get into the other sins one might delve in...of course I am a saint, I have no idea what this is, I've only heard of it. Such as hookers coming to your room and negotiating a sex session, nope only heard of it. Ok, let's carry on. One restaurant in the California Hotel that is always busy because it's like they're always opened is the Market Street Cafe, and one of their signature dishes is the Ox Tail Soup. A rich beef broth and soft tender ox tails, served with white rice.

There's nothing like warming up your stomach with awesome comfort foods, and the ox tail soup is the dish of all dishes to eat. Sometimes I'll order it with some fries on the side and of course a hot cup of coffee with lots of cream. Especially in the late evenings that's when it can get busy where lots of gamblers are standing in line for a table, either in a booth or at the counter, I love sitting at the counter to meet some other gamblers and see what kind of people are out there. One time I met a guy in his late 60s, divorced and ready to go and be in the obituaries, he said he was ill and wanted one more last blast of life before he went. Wow!

One time I met this dude there sitting at the counter who lived there but was from Honolulu, he was always sniffing, I figured he was a cokehead. Nice guy but kind of strange, he couldn't stop talking about how pissed off he was at his bosses at his job, he was a tire mechanic. Yeah...I think he was a cokehead. Why? He asked me if I wanted to buy an eight ball.

But for Ox Tail Soup, the Market Street Cafe is the place to be. The Breakfast Menu is served get this...24 Hours!!!! Yee Ha! Pancakes and Eggs all day!!!
