Dinner at Blondie's Sports Bar - Planet Hollywood Las Vegas

[@Tonymanero1960]

I am waiting for the day when Shin says ''you know that totally sucked,...I will make a scene unless they take it off the bill"".

[@andreabellini6796]

Lol

[@Ahglock]

I honestly can't think of a time where I had a meal going out to eat that was bad enough I'd ask that. Once or twice they forgot something so long that by the time it came ot I was ready to go, so I asked then. Generally food is going to be at least okay otherwise they would go out of business.

[@JSalonsky]

One time I was eating at the Paris steakhouse in Vegas with 2 friends and my friend ordered a steak medium rare & it came out easily well done like it was hammered. So he called the waiter out to look at it, only time I’ve ever really seen someone do that other than my grandma when I was a kid (she was embarrassing sometimes) anyway they comped the ENTIRE bill. Was pretty wild.

[@otterlips8414]

Maybe he could have said, "As much as they are charging for these flat-as-a-board quesadillas, I could have made out better ar Taco Bell!

You are so ambitious reviewing all the strip restaurants. Thank you for your honest and articulate reviews in helping narrow down the choices.

I'm a collector by nature so having a full collection of restaurant vlogs for Vegas seems like something no one has so I want to try and do it! Glad it's helpful for many along the way. Thanks for watching!

[@VegaswithShin]

Hello Diane! Yes, decent bar food here. The fish and chips were actually worth trying. A nice relaxed atmosphere here, I enjoyed it. Hope you've had a nice weekend and I'll see you tomorrow!

[@rodprime79]

I remember going to Blondies back in 2009 because they were one of the few spots on the strip that had a Cheesesteak served with Whiz and on an Amoroso Italian Roll. It was delicious!!

[@VegaswithShin]

Ooh, I didn't know they had that. I wonder if it's the same. I could have tried the cheesesteak here. Thanks for watching!

Hi Shin, I thought the hand held round looked good. I agree with you that the sandwiches should have come with some fries.Ty for another great review.Ty.😊

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, upcharge me for onion rings upgrade or something but include the starting fries. Not a fan of that. Thanks for watching Laura!

[@hollydeitz]

I'm looking at that "all you can drink for $20" sign and thinking WHAT??? Then I remember back in the day when you could sit at a penny slot for hours and pretty much drink for free. LOL. That chicken sandwich looked good, but shame on them for charging for sides. Thanks for the video!!

[@VegaswithShin]

They do have some good drink specials at Blondie's but I'm with you, I don't like when restaurants won't include a side for their handhelds. At least some fries. Thanks for watching Holly!

[@indymofro4459]

A $13+ surcharge fee? What in the blue hell is that? Thanks for another great video that changed our perception of this place as far as food quality goes.

[@emailuser8668]

A rip off junk fee, they and some other strip restaurants charge mystery fees hoping most customers won't complain. Some sleazeball restaurants call it a Concession & Franchise Fee (CNF), but there's no law in Nevada requiring customers to pay for it. This restaurant serves similar bar food to other places. Avoid this place even if the breakfast special is cheap.

[@dianalong2024]

@@indymofro4459 it's what they do in Nevada because there's no state tax..or because it's eat in... double check if you know different.. let me know! Okie dokie

[@VegaswithShin]

I'm not sure what that charge was. I didn't even notice it at the restaurant. I just try and make sure everything is in frame so I don't actually closely look at the bill. I will say though, I've only had their breakfast special here so I wasn't expecting much from the dinner service but the food was solid. Thanks for watching!

[@emailuser8668]

@@dianalong2024 there's a 8.375% sales tax, the so called "Surcharge" is a junk fee added by some sleazy strip restaurants. It's completely arbitrary, the restaurant decides how much they want to charge unsuspecting customers. There's no law in Nevada that requires these Surcharges to be paid, it's not mandatory like sales tax. Customers aren't legally required to pay these junk fees so dispute them.

[@amyshaffner]

Hi Shin! Agreed that sides should come with the entree. I love PH and Miracle Mile shops. 👀😋

[@VegaswithShin]

A side of fries should be included when it comes to any hand held in a sit down restaurant like this. Unfortunate it didn't but I also love Planet Hollywood and the Miracle Mile Shops! Thanks for watching!

[@sonicjerry]

I've been to Blondie's a couple of times. One time for breakfast and one time to meet up with a KZbin/Twitch streamer that was visiting. I really haven't tried the dinner menu but a lot of the food looks super good. I'm always down for a good fish and chips and that one looked pretty solid.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, lots of videos on Blondie's breakfast special but I haven't seen as much on their dinner so I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually decent with a lot of house made dishes. Thanks for watching Jerry!

[@jadehom8067]

😮 no sides to accompany the main dishes 🤔...WTH...great spread, glad you enjoyed your meal...had to rewatch the video, I dozed off in the mid of it 🤦🤣...have a great weekend, see you on Tues ❤😊

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, I don't like when hand helds don't come with sides like this. Unfortunate. Thanks for watching Jade! See you Tuesday!

[@chubbs500]

that's why its their "famous" fish and chips. stick with those and a draft beer and call it a day. nice video shin.

[@VegaswithShin]

I think you're on the money with that one. Fish and chips with a beer is the perfect meal here. Thanks for watching Chubbs!

[@luciad5988]

I love a good French dip sandwich. The pretzel bread and fish and chips sounded pretty darned good too!

[@marlies7444]

Nice review. I love fish and chips, especially cod. The onion rings also looked nice. And the pretzel with the ceese sauce. Yummy 😋 One thing sounded confusing so to me. The shrimp in the bowl at yhe end. Did I hear right that they seasoned it with old bay? That in itself is not bad, I do that. But never would I use teriyaki sauce with that. Those are two very different flavor profiles. As always, I look forward to your next review. I like that you visit different kind of places. Till next time.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, old bay and teriyaki do not mix well. But the fish and chips, onion rings, and pretzel bread were very good! Thanks for watching!

[@xc7525]

Granted I’m only on the appetizer round but I totally dig this place. Looks like a fun but relaxed bar. I really like that it’s themed but not overboard to the point where it’s exhausting. I think it’s exhausting when theme$ places add too much personality on the menu and it everything is named crazy stuff and the descriptions get obnoxious trying to be fun and personalized instead of giving straight forward descriptions. Lol glad I have a safe place to rant. Thanks, shin😊 might be worth it to ask if they’ll do half n half when you order pizzas if you wanted to try more. I myself am a purist and love my pepperoni too! Yum Omg you’re getting recognized in public! Better get used to it! It’ll be happening more and more 😊

[@VegaswithShin]

I really liked the relaxed atmosphere in here. Nothing pretentious, great friendly service staff and I was expecting a lot of Sysco truck frozen and reheated food but I was happy to discover so many house made options here. I'll keep that in mind when I go to try pizzas if they'll do half and half. Could show off some more variety. Thanks for watching!

[@keithhaley6477]

I don't know Shin. This food looked very BASIC and get what you pay for. If I had only $40 bucks and I was seriously hungry, I would go there. Otherwise I would keep walking.

[@VegaswithShin]

It still ends up being one of the cheaper restaurants on the strip and while nothing was gourmet, I was surprised to find as many scratch made recipes as I did. I was expecting reheated Sysco truck delivered food and it was definitely better than that. But objectively, you can definitely get a better bite to eat on the strip than here for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@Alan-sl7qz]

Well-done video of that place, thanks for sharing. I'm thinking more people would be interested in desserts than appetizers. So, for the sake of your stomach, can you do less appetizers and review more desserts?

[@VegaswithShin]

I gotta watch how much sugar I take in and usually by the end of the meals, I just have no room for more desserts typically. Thanks for watching!

[@breathephoto]

It’s a shame they didn’t pan fry the broccoli with a little salt and pepper. A small amount of effort would have elevated the ‘healthy’ dish to another level. Good review!

[@VegaswithShin]

Agreed! Just a straight blanching was very boring. Thanks for watching!

[@Ahglock]

For the strip their normal meals have okay prices, i know they have a cheap breakfast deal but i never really cheeked the menu when i walked by,.

[@VegaswithShin]

That's exactly why I wanted to make this dinner video. I've seen several videos on the breakfast special so I wanted to know what Blondie's was like outside of that. Thanks for watching!

VWS: Blondies skillfully rips off their customers in multiple ways and it is not really the prices. It is the requirement to buy a side with hand helds ( and $6.99 for sweet fries please and $6 for diet coke rips). But if you say the food is good then for a Strip restaurant it is worthy of a visit. Shin Approved !! See you Tuesday Peace ✌️ Out.
