Hey next time you’re in Las Vegas check out “House of Dutch” amazing Jamaican food

[@JamieBell-fe3hj]

I went to Viva Las Arepas today and it was Amazing! We drove in from Palm Desert and this was our first stop. Not to be missed. Thank you!!

[@loganlasvegas]

Food looked good. But you should include prices so we can assess value. You can find good food everywhere, but the gems offer High satisfaction at a reasonable cost.

[@withthetrans]

Agreed

[@TheATHLETE420]

They're all pretty expensive based on what you get but the quality is there. Poke Express is the best value because you're buying it by the pound and can sample whatever you want before you buy it.

[@ryanm4013]

Goes Google work where you live???

[@johnnytx45]

​@ryanm4013 Does grammar checker work where you live?

[@AgentJayzBond]

yea they are a bit too expensive to me as a non-US resident, the set meals from TON-TON literally cost more than twice than what you can get in Japan, and you don't have to tip anything in Japan, and it's really hard to have tastier food than Japan

[@Matthew-oh5ms]

Nothing in life better than watching Gareth eating! We bookmarked a couple of these places and are anxious to try them. Keep on trucking Gareth!❤

[@jedimaster1080]

Mochi donuts are amazing.

[@mojojim6458]

"Something that I'm very excited about." FOOD! I'm always excited about your food videos, too.

[@golfrabble]

The sweet corn arepa is unbeaten.

[@GarethEats]

True story! 🙌

[@Bmwqxtmop]

Another banger!!

[@ultraultra6726]

Boy, you know I'm stoked about the recent uptick in content! I love this channel! Making me crave doughnuts in the worst possible way!

[@GarethEats]

I truly appreciate it. Finally on a regular content routine now that I'm all healthy. Lots more to come! 👊

[@rjshron]

That arepas restaurant is by far my most favorite spot in vegas!!!

[@GarethEats]

10000% agree! They were honestly so good! I could have only stopped there and been happy!

[@emilywynstra]

Those arepas looked delectable and I loved how you were able to connect with some Venezuelan vacationers and make them feel comfortable!! Great video Gareth 🤍

[@brandonmoore2237]

Another fantastic food adventure! I need to try an arepa ASAP. The ones you guys had look incredible. Also, I love how polite you are when you don't like the food 😂 Haha, it cracks me up. I'd never thought of Las Vegas as a food city before this but it looks like I need to rethink that! 🤪

[@TuddsCrapshoot]

Maybe the best in the country, it’s wild here

[@user-uh6iz4tx5h]

I’m getting ready to move to Vegas!!! Can’t wait!

[@chiendinh-je2xi]

Good choice, love Las Vegas

[@ericueno4908]

Gareth!!! So great to see you! I haven’t seen your vids since you were ill. So great to see join! Thanks for another great vid!

[@GreenWitch1]

Some of that food looked amazing! Im hungry now 😋

[@mindysmom6132]

Gareth, your honesty about the mochi donuts is definitely appreciated! I don’t care for mochi donuts or boba tea, myself. I do, however LOVE Korean style donuts. If you’re ever back in Southern California, please visit ‘The Source’ in Buena Park. It’s a 3-story outdoor mall. Ferry Donuts on the first floor has super delicious donuts! The crème brûlée donut is amazing! Then….visit the 3rd floor food court. There, you can find milk cream donuts, strawberry cream donuts, and banana cream donuts, along with several other types of donuts. ALL are super delicious! I’ll be heading to LV in August. Thanks for sharing the Poke and the Katsu place.

[@MI-tj1dv]

gareth you are a wonderful host.. i like that you are so friendly & upbeat. the way you describe everything that you eat makes it crystal clear that you are a true-blue food lover. i love your descriptions and feel like i'm eating right alongside you!! keep it up and can't wait for more of your videos

[@jerryevans6733]

Awesome episode. Defo going to hit all the spots. Love the genuine reactions, and interactions! Hidden gems are the way forward.

[@karenrn5607]

As always-you don’t disappoint!!!❤

[@GarethEats]

I appreciate you. 🙏

[@clayhong3617]

Glad to see you back. Watched and loved your travel vids.

[@GarethEats]

I appreciate you. 👊

[@Isaiahslifeexperience]

I love you’re videos I subscribed and been watching for a few months now 😊

[@Traders_Paradigm]

Will keep these in mind when I am in vegas in a few weeks. Thank you!

[@scarletowl8337]

[@CaramelSauce24]

Food looks exciting and delicious!

[@JacobFu]

[@lawrenceakini4981]

[@MsCoelho64]

Those Donuts 🍩 look Amazing!!! 😋🥓🍳

[@brianhammond2832]

Fun video, good job!

[@GarethEats]

Thanks, Brian! 🍻

[@greggismyname]

Nice! 😛😛 I live here in Vegas... I need to get out more! Thanks!

[@zukione]

Yes!!! Eat off the strip if you can..We make it a habit of doing our research before heading to Vegas and make a list of places to eat off the strip.

[@eastbayarearesident3631]

Native Hawaiians also go to Vegas for the service and construction jobs. They settled in, brought in other family members and now have a large community in Las Vegas.

[@maximus3511]

Just got back from Hawaii yesterday - they told me Vegas is the 9th Hawaiian island lol

[@sarahisselling]

Mochi donut is one of those desserts that just hits you right! Love this cool hidden gem

[@jenniferhargraves6620]

Gareth, love your vids and your channel. So glad you are feeling better. Try Carls donuts in Vegas.

[@withthetrans]

Going to Vegas next week, and my husband is a huge veggie fan LOL, so excited to check out the katsu place so i can enjoy the katsu and he can enjoy the unlimited cabbage 😂😂

[@user-jk7vt5nx7l]

Please include prices 😊

[@davidgrybb8547]

Whooooooooooooaaaa love it ❤❤!!! I live in henderson love it..

[@timbrawdy2249]

Black bear diner calls my name every year I’m not in Vegas..

[@user-ps6om8qc6s]

In a FA and I save your recommendations to my yelp! Thanks for posting your faves!

[@user-ce1zy2jd6b]

Another good video! Thanks! You might also try Los Molcajetes on N Eastern in Vegas. Get yourself a molcajete, and a michelada.

[@2labmom]

I wish I would have seen your video before I went to Vegas. 😔 Those places looked amazing.

[@calgaryan]

Mazzoa's Donuts are some of the best non-mochi donuts in town! Def worth a try next time you're in!

[@Isaiahslifeexperience]

Gareth yay 🥰

[@ricardodominguez9265]

Hey I’m with you on the donuts. Just give me a good regular fresh donut!! 😂

[@GarethEats]

Preach. 🙌

[@felmarmationg1102]

Gareth eats is a great channel

[@GarethEats]

Thank you 🙏

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

Great how you interviewed the Venezuelans, great insight

[@mikefreeman9251]

That place you got the mochi donuts use to be a sushi bar called sushi on rainbow it was where I was first introduced to sushi. Kinda makes me sad seeing the inside not as I remember. Luckily vegas has tons of other good sushi spots sakana sushi is an amazing spot

[@hawneyz]

Poke Express is the best!! My favorite is the furikake poke.

[@shigemorif1066]

Now I want tonkatsu so bad!

[@streetfoodnetworkpk]

Very Nice Superb Video

[@yoandreee]

you should do a food review at a music festival like EDC Las Vegas or Coachella

[@bored_af_troll]

We need to take Gareth to the moon. Great commentary and reactions. Rinse and repeat and you’ll be mark weins status in no time!

[@jessicavanmeter7379]

Try Ronald's Donuts in Spring Valley. Old fashioned donuts, vegan donuts, special large donuts, every kind of donut you can want and some you never knew you did. They also have breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and a lovely old school dining area. Good prices. It's my favorite place.

[@jushayn21]

Which KATSU set did you get

[@MMCSF]

I'm going to Vegas for two weeks next week and I've added all of these to my very long list of places I want to eat at.

[@TheATHLETE420]

Also add Big Dans. They have the best noodles in town. It's inside a supermarket but it's much better imo than places like Shang artisan noodle or magic noodle

[@katiefrazier7821]

I love mochi donuts but for a regular donut, check out Dee’s Donuts in Centennial Hills. The best!

[@stargazer5073]

Gareth, yikes we live Mochi!!!!! Our dogs name is MOCHIE

[@binwin2582]

Federal Donuts and Chicken inside the Red Rock Casino. They have cake batter donuts. Best I’ve had for donuts

[@bballerforever]

Awesome video. I gotta try the Arepas next time. I’ve been to that tonkatsu place - it’s good but not great when compared w Tamafuji Tonkatsu in Honolulu. You missed Tacos El Gordo - several locations and they serve more than tacos and your choice of meat(no pollo).

[@GarethEats]

Yes, I highly recommend the arepa joint, honestly so good! For this episode, I didn't want to feature any taco spots - and Tacos El Gordo is definitely not a hidden gem 😂 but it is a gem!

[@highnesscrypto8031]

if you love doughnuts, you should try friendly’s doughnut in Henderson, NV

[@juliopaez4516]

I love donuts as well. Do you have a favorite donut place in Los Angeles, Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Pasadena?

[@m.aurelius271]

Hello Gareth, Try Ronald's Donuts located at 4600 Spring Mountain Rd Las Vegas, NV 89102 Chinatown

[@welcometosusansmukbang9215]

👌💯 Come to NY too 🍎

[@Monku123]

Try out Glaze donuts, lmk what you think.

[@TheATHLETE420]

You gotta try Big Dan's next time. It's the biggest hidden gem in Vegas and my favorite restaurant. Best noodles in town! Btw my profile pic is from poke express lol

[@kleptodathief3946]

how much pho dat flan? its like like creme brulee? prolly harder and sweeter

[@dimplesp4046]

great vid, please include the prices for us broke girlz 🙃

[@STONERCREEK1]

This guy and Steve Hamilton from " The Hamilton Collection" here must be twins.

[@arnief5693]

Search a donut shop near Fremont Street👍👍

[@toniwong1559]

I didn't catch where to get the flan?

[@vanderley3]

Great video. Wouldn't recommend Arepas after sundown. It's in the middle of tweaker hub of Vegas, not so safe at night.

[@MH_6160]

Off strip is where it is at when it comes to finding amazing food, everything on the strip is just re badged big corporate resturants. Vegas has become a true international city when it comes to food.

[@VegasLoungeAct]

There are so many good mom & pop donut shops in SoCal that Vegas really pales in comparison when it comes to donuts.

[@VEGAS-NERVE]

That kid screaming in the Arepa place would have been my last straw.

[@Isaiahslifeexperience]

Hiii 🙈

[@dionnegriffin2229]

Randy's Donuts 😉

[@GarethEats]

I did feature the OG location in the LA series! ✅

[@MrCleansweep]

Check out Gabi Boutique…best donuts in Vegas hands down.

[@phoenixfirespices2419]

Pinkbox donuts Wicked donuts 85 degree Bakery LV Scoops (halo halo & ice cream macaron) El gordos( El pastor con Pina And cabeza ) Zabas (like Chipotle but better) Egg works Windycity Sweet Poke (on Ann) Sushi Bomb (ask for Kenan) Shanghai Taste Weera Thai Kim Long Pho District One Kubuto Omekase Monta Ramen Goong (get sets DO NOT GET AYCE)

[@sonyamonarrez7355]

Ha!

[@user-kg8jc2yh1e]

Fantastic Video...and you are so adorable!! You could talk about the most boring subject on earth and it would be Fantastic. :)

[@jenniemoi1020]

Gareth , if you love donuts, try the “donuts/cronuts” at the Serrano Cafe within the Palms Casino (satisfies your off the Strip criteria )! Forget about the cronuts from Dominque Ansel, original Cronuts Inventor NYC, located within Caesar Palace! Go early, Serrano donuts tends to run out quickly! Let me what you think?! Cheers 🥰

[@GRUBLIFE]

Donut hut . Eastside

[@mymilktea]

Ronalds donuts on spring mountain! Their vegan donuts will also rock your socks off!

[@user-gc9xr3fq7i]

I am a Chinese food lover! Where are your favorite Cantonese, Szechuan, and hunan restaurants in Las Vegas?

[@thebreakdown7790]

You the same guy from The Hamilton Collection?

[@GarethEats]

I wish, he crushes it!

[@phoenixfirespices2419]

Pinkbox donuts Wicked donuts 85 degrees Bakery Sweet Poke (I think chain, not sure) El Gordos el pastor and cabeza Sushi Bomb ( ayce sushi) ask for Kenan Egg works Windy city Goong Korean BBQ ( get the set menu not AYCE) LV Scoops (halo halo) spelling might be wrong and ice cream macaron Kim Long Pho Weera Thai Shanghai Taste District one Sora Ramen Monta Ramen Kabuto Omekase Zabas ( just like Chipotle but better) downtown Summerlin

[@bernardmayles6564]

Not waiting 90 minutes to eat anywhere

[@tigerjonn]

That Venezuelan had a serious unabrow

[@msway836]

That Breakfast Dam, youll eat anything, hey throw some junk together we found a pig that will eat it...

[@sandy-ke1kr]

My Colombian husband would have a cow if he heard that guy say that arepas are Venezuelans. I know Colombians make them different and he thinks they are made better in Colombia. 😊

[@GarethEats]

Hahaha, I was waiting for a Colombian to respond to that statement 😂

[@theoakhills]

Hidden 'gem' not GYM!

[@johnnytx45]

It's the same pronunciation, Karen or is it Karyn?

[@mattingly234ever]

Patacones are so much better than arepas

[@nickb.6726]

None are hidden and none are gems…a lot better options off the strip.

[@desertfairychickres4021]

WTF was screaming?

[@user-df5jn2vy2t]

sorry, but that is the worst food one can have. bacon and sugar and millions of carbs.

[@doctorofspiritualnomics]

No one is going to Vegas to eat healthy.

[@Guadalupeloser]

Friendly Donut House in Las Vegas they got the best apple fritters! 856 S Boulder Hwy, Henderson, NV 89015

[@eddiecastro5088]

God there's a reason why Mexican food is in the top 3 in the world
