Bacon Nation at The D in Downtown Las Vegas

[@VegaswithShin]

Hmm, bacon or sausage?

[@ForsettaLuminosa]

Sausage Both are tasty 😋

[@danielcampos1049]

Depends on the sausage. If it’s like your standard patty, bacon always. But some places have goooooood sausage and don’t overcook it 👌

[@laurablassberg8559]

Bacon

[@karmas_coming]

Both. But I prefer link sausage.

[@ingridbrandt7710]

Sausage IF it’s extra good quality! Otherwise, bacon is more reliable.

[@ingridbrandt7710]

Oh Shin, you really should have sent the Biscuits & Gravy back….since that oily, separated gravy truly is unacceptable! I hate to send back food, but sometimes one really should. You could have switched it for another entree.

[@VegaswithShin]

I rarely, if ever, send back food. And I'm just happy to report back to you what it could be like. Thanks for watching!

[@BriaArnel]

My husband and I enjoy watching your videos!

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad to hear you like them! Thanks for watching!

[@sambam9120]

I love how honest you always are, without being rude or mean. You stay so upbeat even when it’s a miserable dish being served.

[@VegaswithShin]

To be honest, I haven't had anything that was truly disgusting in my videos so far so it's not a stretch for me to stay relatively positive. Everything I've had is edible to me, though that's probably more because I'm not a picky eater and I really do just eat everything lol. Thanks for watching!

[@anthonyandteresacroteau7704]

Tough business when there is a defined theme and to have the “wow” experience seemed to be missing here. With that……bacon, bacon and more bacon ❤. Best of luck to them as they refine their menu. You never disappoint and continued success.

[@VegaswithShin]

I agree. The theme definitely forces their hand in some ways. But I was still able to get some decent food here so they do have some good stuff going on. Thanks for watching!

[@dmotta2811]

Darn! I was hoping the “D” would be a lot better 😂 that French toast box looked amazing though.

[@VegaswithShin]

LOL. They still did have some good food. Just a few misses. Thanks for watching D!

[@sarahlovesolives]

That pulled pork sandwich looks awesome! Great review Shin!

[@VegaswithShin]

It was very good! I liked it a lot. Thanks for watching!

[@karenglaicar5486]

Great info. Nice review. Thanks

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching Karen!

[@dhalvid1906]

I hope you sent the biscuit and gravy back after seeing that. The prices your paying should reflect well cooked food.

[@VegaswithShin]

I rarely, if ever, send back food. I actually just microwaved and ate the biscuits and gravy for lunch today lol. But I'm happy to report to you all on the reality of it. Thanks for watching!

[@mafatone]

Another great video. Thanks Shinster

[@VegaswithShin]

Happy you enjoyed it! Thanks mafatone!

[@laurablassberg8559]

Great review. Ty. The French toast box really looked good.

[@VegaswithShin]

The French toast box was very tasty! Thanks for watching!

[@jesusisfaithful7]

THANKS SHIN, FOR SHARING YOUR HONEST OPINION. KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE JOB 👍🏼😁

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you Tracey!

[@jamiehendrickson3542]

Another great review! I look forward to your videos every saturday, thanks Shin!

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it and I'm happy to be a part of your weekend!

[@justm88]

I am glad you tried so many dishes here coz I was thinking of checking this out, and I’d probably order dishes that I wouldn’t like if I didn’t see your review, now I know what I’d get. Thanks Shin!

[@VegaswithShin]

I'm glad to help! I hope you enjoy your trip. Thanks for watching!

[@juneyoshihiro844]

Great video..luv bacon❤😂 tks

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! Thank you very much!

[@Nest-Stuff9]

Thank you Shin for your honest reviews!👍👍

[@VegaswithShin]

Happy to do it! I'm having a good time. Thanks for watching!

[@catherineturek1716]

Great review Shin. I think we'll try out Bacon Nation.

[@VegaswithShin]

Nice! I hope you enjoy your visit! Thanks for watching!

[@kylemerritt1545]

Looks like my kind of place . Thanks Shin now I’m hungry lol . Thanks again for the video bud !

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching Kyle!

[@immus21]

Us Canadian fans all screaming “TRY THE POUTINE!!!” 😂 Love your videos, look forward to them every week.

[@VegaswithShin]

LOL! I gave the poutine serious thought but ultimately went with other choices. Happy to have viewing friends in Canada! Thanks for watching!

[@samsampier7147]

My regret from my labor day trip to the D was missing BarCanada. It seems like a cool place to hang out.

[@thc_goon]

I tried it, and it was alright. The bacon really overpowered the poutine flavor but I guess I should’ve expected that lol

[@jm8550]

Anyway you can give that new BBQ restaurant in the palms A review I wouldn't call it new now but it was lol.

[@VegaswithShin]

I actually did a vlog from Mabel's BBQ earlier this year. You can catch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3vbi4OuZryYoas Thanks for watching!

[@Danny-lr1yg]

I go to vegas like once a year but I had to sub to you, excellent food reviews!

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you for subscribing! Welcome to the channel! Hope you enjoy the videos!

[@laurabarnett3703]

I was hoping you would try some of the bacon flavors. But lovely review.

[@VegaswithShin]

I was going to, but I kind of forgot lol. Thanks for watching!

[@luciad5988]

Some yummy dishes, I’d try it! The D is fun. We loved the long bar and Andiamo is special. As good as a strip steakhouse, but more affordable.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes the long bar is awesome there and I will have to try Andiamo one day. Thanks Lucia!

[@frankcarone6]

oh my this was a great review , that pasta looked real good and the burger,i would not get that reverse blt ,thank you very much

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! The shrimp scampi was surprisingly delicious! Thanks for watching!

[@frankcarone6]

@@VegaswithShin thank you

[@dmotta2811]

11:03 food worker picking her nose

[@otrebla8944]

Lol. She's got no shame. Didn't even wash her hands. Good grief.

[@VegaswithShin]

I didn't even notice that in editing. We're all human and do it though, and I recognize her to be thy hostess, not a server. Thanks for watching!

[@Variety1985]

​@@VegaswithShin FOOD HANDLERS ... NEVER a good idea to touch the FACE 🤔

[@7dancingmonkeys]

I've been here 3 times to give it a fair chance over the past year since it opened last fall. While the food is okay (not great), the service was disgustingly bad twice. Like being directed to a table and waiting 15 minutes for any service whatsoever. This happened once at the bar too. There are too many other options downtown.

[@VegaswithShin]

Oof, now that's unfortunate. My service levels were just fine so I didn't really have any complaints there. But there are a lot of really great options downtown. I'd eat at Bacon Nation if I was already staying at the D and was feeling lazy about going out to get some food. Thanks for watching!

[@lu_to_the_wanna]

At Sadelle's, Bellagio, they do a reverse Tuna Melt by turning an everything bagel insideout. Very tasty! Shameful how that biscuit gravy was served to you. Love your honest reviews. Aloha~

[@VegaswithShin]

Ooh I haven't been to Sadelles in a long time. I'll have to try that out. Aloha friend! Thanks for watching!

[@bigtdawg2626]

I like the catch-phrase, "Every restaurant is a buffet, if you are willing to pay". We appreciate you spending the money so we can get an idea on which dishes to choose! Have you been to Rollin' Smoke BBQ yet? I want to try to fit in their AUCE option on my next trip.

[@VegaswithShin]

Lol I'm glad you like it. It just came to me one day. I haven't been to Rollin' Smoke physically but I've had them catered before for a house warming party that a friend had and I thought it was good. I have plans to do the all you can eat for a video currently in the summer of next year. Thanks for watching!

[@s.jensen1492]

I love “ Shin’s phrase” as well!

[@clairepierson15]

ty for yur honest review it all looked good except the bisqits and gravy

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching Claire!

[@jeanpantely5774]

Looks like the Shrimp dish was the winner of the day. You face lit up with the first bite. Thank you for the honest review.

[@VegaswithShin]

In retrospect, I think the shrimp scampi was my favorite dish of the evening lol. Thanks for watching!

[@Christine_1075]

Happy Sunday Shin😊

[@VegaswithShin]

To you as well Christine!

[@lu_to_the_wanna]

Shin, you're never gonna believe this but Danny the Medic said the biscuits & gravy on the Excalibur brunch buffet was delicious!😊

[@VegaswithShin]

I believe it! The country gravy at the Excalibur Buffet is still the best to me. I haven't been anywhere that has it consistently as good!

[@lu_to_the_wanna]

ureal

[@karmas_coming]

The BLT looked like a nice novelty. Definitely a one time thing just to try it. Would be nice to have one of those bacon weaves in an actual BLT sandwich.

[@VegaswithShin]

It was definitely novel for sure lol. If they just made it a normal sandwich and reduced the bacon by about a third I think it would have made a killer BLT. Thanks for watching!

[@algernon5776]

Shin this place was expensive bit lol no surprises. The Shrimp 🍤 pasta was my favorite!!

[@VegaswithShin]

Expensive, but less pricey than the strip as it still turns out lol. The scampi was definitely the best. Thanks for watching Al!

[@337--LEE]

Clean honest review ....Respected ....

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@YouUsAndAI]

Even though you're not a processional chef, you describe the food in detail and better than any food blogger...even better than Bill and Lisa (AND I LOVE B&L). Also, in your Q&A video, I forgot to say that I'm so surprised you chose In & Out...I'm 100% Shake Shack. LOLLLL :) :):)

[@VegaswithShin]

Thanks GL! I appreciate that!

[@scottjarvis8349]

Ate there last May, great apple pie French toast boxy, my wife had the breakfast bowl that was equally as good

[@VegaswithShin]

I was so close to getting the apple pie french toast box! I'm happy to hear it was good! Thanks for watching!

[@jadelynn1703]

Sausage is better for me, I can only handle a little bit of bacon due to the saltiness. The pulled pork sandwich looked like the best thing to me! Awesome video Shin ^_^

[@VegaswithShin]

I really enjoyed the sandwich. It was good! Thanks for watching!

[@panjo]

mmmm....bacon 😋

[@VegaswithShin]

Delicious bacon! Thanks panjo!

[@robertphillips3893]

Mmmm Bacon! This might be my spirit restaurant. I don't believe there can be to much bacon. Ever. Ever.

[@VegaswithShin]

This is your spot for sure if you're a bacon lover! Thanks for watching!!

[@jadehom8067]

Hi Shin...all the food looked fabulous except gor the biscuit and gravy 👎, unacceptable ( should of sent it back ), it didn't even look appetizing😢...but overall, everything else I would of ate 😂, the blt was too messy though 😋...have a great week 😘🤗❤

[@VegaswithShin]

I did enjoy the majority of what I ate. The shrimp and pulled pork were my favorite in retrospect. Thanks for watching!

[@Grazie76gw]

Thank you Shin that’s too bad because I’m a fan of bacon. Maybe they will make changes on menu as time goes on.

[@VegaswithShin]

You can still get some good food here, just a couple of big misses for me. Thanks for watching!

[@vegasvan2000]

I have yet to see anyone give this restaurant a glowing review. Seems as if everyone's order has had misses. Not a fan a gimmicky themes/menu items. This would be a pass for me. Seems as if nothing much has changed since they opened. Thanks for reviewing.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, I'm more or less in agreement with you. I had some good dishes for sure, but some pretty critical misses. Thanks for watching

[@helenjoy6316]

It didn't look as if you enjoyed it overly shin. Hope next week's restaurant hits the spot! X

[@VegaswithShin]

It wasn't terrible I'd say. They had some good dishes, just some misses. I'm excited for next week's. Thanks for watching!

[@zencivility]

Great review, as always. What is that ADD ON TAX for $15.08 (on receipt)? Seems dubious.

[@VegaswithShin]

It's just sales tax. 8% on $180 check is about $15. I don't know why they just don't label it sales tax though lol. Thanks for watching!

[@lorifreeman1746]

The best for me went to the shrimp scampi and the pulled pork sandwich ❤

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! Both were so good! Thanks for watching Lori!

[@s.jensen1492]

Some hit and misses but overall pretty decent dishes. I think the entree’s were much better than anything else. If you can’t do a Good Biscuit and Gravy then … Thanks Shin !

[@VegaswithShin]

Agreed! I was impressed with the shrimp scampi which in retrospect was my favorite dish. Thanks for watching!

[@larry2513]

I like watching your food reviews so I can see what restaurants that I would be interested in and others not so much. I think I’ll skip this one.

[@VegaswithShin]

Happy to save you the trip! Thanks for watching!

[@pippilongstocking.]

Desert with a little bit of bacon on it I've got to get out more...

[@VegaswithShin]

Salty and sweet is definitely a thing. When done well it's very delicious! Thanks for watching!

[@Becky-t2v]

Great review! Can you post the price of each dish?

[@VegaswithShin]

I post the receipt at the end to cover that information but I'll think about adding that info per dish. Thanks for the feedback!

[@g-bgcg]

Kind of ironic that most of the bacon food items were just ok while the non bacon items were delicious in a restaurant called “Bacon Nation” . But seriously $17 for 3 slices of bacon is ridiculous. I remember ordering bacon with my breakfast at a restaurant and it said it came with 2 slices of bacon. But when my breakfast arrived, there was only one slice of bacon that was cut it in two. Point being…bacon needs to be on the stock exchange as a commodity now. Ha Ha!

[@VegaswithShin]

You got a point there lol. And yes, I think in retrospect the shrimp scampi was my favorite of the evening. Thanks for watching!

[@VesaJay]

8:11 Beast Mode Bite! 😳😄👍

[@VegaswithShin]

Lmao, yes! Decades of practice! Thanks for watching!

[@Variety1985]

​@@VegaswithShin Too bad it was not something you liked better and for the fries 🍟 ... OLD OIL does BAD for any FRIED FOODS 😮

[@glennfraychineaud1987]

I’ll be there soon

[@VegaswithShin]

Nice! I hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching!

[@derbypeach]

The biscuit and gravy dish needed to go back. You definitely shouldn't have to pay for those. With all the great food in vegas, that place looks like a pass to me.

[@VegaswithShin]

Definitely lots of better ways to spend those food dollars but there were still some tasty items I tried here. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to Bacon Nation, but if you're already there, one can get good food. Thanks for watching!

[@khronicpain7691]

You destroyed that reverse blt sandwich.good job.

[@VegaswithShin]

It was for science lol! Thanks for watching!

[@SimplyJack3]

4:32 that gravy fat really shows up on camera. It doesn't look appealing at all.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, I was not a fan. Thanks for watching!

[@gorymarty56]

What are the hrs

[@VegaswithShin]

Looks like 7am to 11pm daily. Thanks for watching!

[@ExploreVegas]

The biscuits and gravy looked wonderful! Too bad it didn’t taste as good as it looked. Another awesome video brother!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, it was unfortunate they weren't the best. Can't win them all! Thanks brother!

[@LanaJune-ie1ly]

Shin are you left handed?

[@VegaswithShin]

I am not, the video is mirrored from using the front camera of my phone. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelbhim7585]

Wow shin- fast turnover for editing from Thursday night to release the video Saturday AM . Kudos

[@VegaswithShin]

I usually film on Mondays or Tuesdays to give myself time before my Saturday release schedule but I messed up my foot pretty badly at the gym last week so I was trying to stay off it for as long as possible. I had a very late night Friday evening lol but the show must go on! Thanks for watching!

[@insidmal]

how the heck does gravy end up oily?! I've made it many times and never seen anything like that, very strange

[@VegaswithShin]

Wrong proportions and not enough emulsification. Thanks for watching!

[@Variety1985]

GEE!! $5 just for a DIET COKE ... and the rest of the PRICES 💲💲💲 on your RECEIPT 😮

[@VegaswithShin]

And this is still one of the cheaper places I've done this year. Better get a ton of free refills on the Coke and ask for one to go on the way out. Thanks for watching!

[@balochistanitechsupport3996]

Asking 4 the majority is this place HALAL ????

[@VegaswithShin]

Lol no, it is not. Thanks for watching!

[@insidmal]

$7 for a single slice of bacon is wild

[@VegaswithShin]

Vegas will find a way to surprise you with everything lol

[@mariegaldieri1676]

I love your reviews but think you need to take smaller bites

[@VegaswithShin]

I appreciate the feedback. I'm honestly thinking about 100 things while I'm filming and to be conscious of my bite size outside of my natural way of eating is really low on the priority when it comes to brain cycles. Appreciate the input though.

[@jmbear628]

blt.....gad a slice of bread in it. better without?

[@VegaswithShin]

I'd have actually preferred if they just made it a standard sandwich, reduced the bacon by about a third and it would have been great. Thanks for watching!

[@Peizxcv]

OMG, mistake you for Tim: www.youtube.com/@TimLeeLetsGo 😅🤣

[@VegaswithShin]

LMAO! That's quite the compliment as I got about 80lbs on Tim! Thanks for watching!

[@Littlekittychgo]

Appreciate your reviews but… you just said “ I don’t know if I would go out of my way to come to Bacon Nation”……… do you know what you just did to their business?

[@ingridbrandt7710]

EVERY restaurant guest gets to decide what they think of the meal & report to friends and family. Reviewers are no exception…Shin is always polite and honest in his reviews, and we are here for it.

[@juliemolthop8980]

He's being honest. What's wrong with that? Should he have lied? He's a reviewer. I appreciate his honesty!

[@VegaswithShin]

I do. I gave my honest thoughts. Thanks for watching!

[@whskymr]

bacon ?? this trend went out years ago... the food looks slightly better than dennys. overpriced slop

[@VegaswithShin]

Happy to save you the trip! Thanks for watching!

[@annhenriques3520]

Actually, Denny’s is better.

[@rickfernandez1104]

The restaurant and food item reviews are appreciated but the giant mouthful bites are a turn off.

[@VegaswithShin]

It's how I eat. Appreciate the feedback though!

[@AlittlePotato1]

Shin, literally the one food I've hated my entire life is bacon. I don't know what it is.🫣 The scampi was so random but looked awesome.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes, randomly the shrimp scampi was actually very good! I was not expecting that. Thanks for watching!
