You'd be surprised with TAP's Sports Bar at the Excalibur Las Vegas

[@CraigSands-rs3sp]

Only Shin can make "bar" food sound like it's from a Michelin Star restaurant. The best job is being part of the family and friends that get to eat with Shin during the videos 😇

[@andreabellini6796]

The first two rounds looked delicious. All your appetizers would be something I’d order myself. Another great review. Ty Shin.😊

[@VegaswithShin]

Definitely some really good bar food here. I was surprised given the Excalibur's reputation. Good eats here. Thanks for watching Laura!

[@whiv]

I haven’t been to Excalibur in a while, but it’s always got that nostalgic vibe. Definitely curious to see how their food stacks up these days!

[@VegaswithShin]

I was genuinely surprised. I was expecting a bit less so I enjoyed what I got here. Thanks for watching!

[@KatherinePierson-k3f]

Great video! We walked by this place on our last visit and might try it on our next one.

I was very impressed! I wasn't sure what to expect but it was good! I hope you like it if you try it! Thanks for watching!

[@dianeschroeder3980]

The Excalibur was my mom’s favorite hotel in Vegas but I’m pretty sure she never went to Tap’s. I’m glad to know that property has a good eatery and I will be putting that one in my back pocket because it’s near where I’m staying at the Delano. The burger and pasta looked on point. Thanks for finding this place Shin! See you Tuesday!

[@VegaswithShin]

I was very surprised to see such quality food given the Excalibur's current reputation but I enjoyed myself here. Thanks for watching Diane!

Hi Shin. Another great video. I'm not really a fan of the collaborations with Norma. These are so much more informative and professional.

Yes! All of those were great here. Just solid bar food in general. Thanks for watching!

[@rshrsh5420]

Hello Shin! It looks like you found a "Diamond in The Rough" this week. It looks like a great place to meet after work with some friends or a place to hang out with friends for a few hours. Pretty soon you're going to run all of these food establishments out of bags, I bet you carry at least ten bags home with you after every episode. Have a great week.

[@VegaswithShin]

Lol, most places I average 3 bags filled with containers. That said, I really liked it at TAP's Sports Bar. Good food here, especially given the Excalibur's reputation. Thanks for watching!

[@amyshaffner]

Not bad for the strip agreed. And yes, I'm looking forward to doing some Fremont Street. Should be good fun! Thanks for watching!

[@jayyes2442]

I wasn’t expecting much from this place but it actually looks a lot better than I thought. Nice one Shin!

I can never figure out why people always assume at certain hotels that the food isn't going to be good 😏 why do you do this?

Yes! Nice eats during a game for sure. Thanks for watching Lucia!

[@charylene211]

Great review!

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

[@marlies7444]

The food looked overall pretty good. If I could only have two items it would have been the loaded nachos, and the salmon dish. I like when they use a cheese sauce instead of shredded cheese. And it looked like there was plenty of it as well. And I just love salmon, and the roasted veggies looked delicious. Unfortunately I think the prices are above the quality of even good bar food. Presentation of food on metal trays, but asking high end prices is hard for to me to comprehend. But I'm still liking your videos, showing a diversity of places to visit. You describe things very well, and im looking forward to your next video.

[@VegaswithShin]

The salmon was solid. Just a little more moist and that would have probably been the best dish I tried that day. The peach ginger glaze was so good. It is on the Vegas strip so prices are higher than average for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@DJ-ih8tzslegostickers]

Good review. I've eaten at the Tap sports bar in mgm grand a few timesand always enjoyed my meal there, so its nice to know the excal version is just as good. It's nice to always have a few options besides food court or high end restaurants in LV. America at NYNY is another solid choice.

[@VegaswithShin]

Solid food here. I look forward to trying MGM's one day. America at NYNY is coming early next year! I've eaten there like 10 years ago so it's going to be nice doing a return trip. Thanks for watching!

[@frankfurder3742]

Nice selection. Always looking for a great cheeseburger and onion rings.

[@VegaswithShin]

Great burger and onion rings here. I really liked them. Thanks for watching!

[@sonicjerry]

If you did not say that TAPS was located inside the Excalibur hotel, I would think it would be local bar and grille since it really gives off that feel. All the food looks really good and I'm down for a good chicken wings and spinach and artichoke dip.

[@VegaswithShin]

I was surprised at the quality of the food given Excalibur's reputation. It was honestly solid. Thanks for watching Jerry!

[@marks.4799]

Been to Tap across the street many times, pretty good food for a reasonable price

[@VegaswithShin]

I plan to check out the MGM location next year. The Excalibur's has me a bit more excited for it. Thanks for watching!

[@andreabellini6796]

Thank you for trying the Impossible burger Shin. I’m happy to know I have some options there including the pretzel. You’re the best

[@VegaswithShin]

I will always try and show a good variety and I think I got a good spread here. Thanks for watching Andrea!

[@paulj2948]

Nice review! Did the food come out hot? That's my pet peeve when it's room temperature or not hot throughout. Anything labeled impossible is impossible for me to ever eat.

[@VegaswithShin]

Food came out piping hot. The plates were too hot to touch when they first came out. Thanks for watching!

[@rl1800]

New subscriber. Love the channel. Very fair and even handed review of the food. Do you have any chef training? Your descriptions go beyond the average foodie reviewer.

[@VegaswithShin]

Welcome to the channel! I am not a chef, just a very enthusiastic eater lol. Thanks for watching!

I was hoping you would try the impossible burger!! Thank you for remaining committed to trying dietary options!!

[@VegaswithShin]

You got it! I really try to show as much variety as I can so we can all get a good well rounded look at each restaurant. Thanks for watching!

[@ski9600]

re: the impossible burger. Vegans can't eat mayonaise. whatever, i knew what you meant. All of the food looked really great to me! Good job Excalibur.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, it wasn't exactly mayo. It was a mayo like sauce. The food was surprisingly good. I wasn't sure what to expect from Excalibur nowadays. Thanks for watching!

[@blinklover210]

Sheesh it's like people have never seen a food vlogger before?! Do you get used to the staring? Lol I've had my eye on Taps to try for a while, will definitely have to stop by now!

[@VegaswithShin]

Kids will be kids lol. I thought it was funnier when the parents did the same but the majority of my videos are food shots so they didn't make it in. I've long since stopped caring what people are doing around me in videos. I'm just trying to get the job done when I'm out recording. Thanks for watching!

[@Oobaglunk]

Shocked such great bar food is at a dump like the Excalibur..

[@VegaswithShin]

Lol, I was thinking the food may just be mediocre at best but it was honestly solid. I had a good time. Thanks for watching!

[@Wrestlemack_Champ1-pn4qd]

True!

[@hollydeitz]

First, those chairs should be illegal. I don't know who is making everyone buy them, but they have taken over America. But holy hell that was all great to see! Honestly, I think I might have enjoyed that food more than Wing Lei. Added bonus: That peach ginger sauce just solved a cooking dilemma I was having. Can't wait to see you enjoying Downtown!

[@VegaswithShin]

The peach ginger sauce was pretty special. I might even try adding that to my own recipe book lol. Thanks for watching Holly!

[@nsas54]

That food looked consistently good & a cut above regular bar food.

Hi Shin, Do you ever meet up with your subscribers at any of the local restaurants? Great video, love bar food.

[@VegaswithShin]

I typically don't schedule anything with viewers. I have a group of friends and family that have open invites for free food and a lot of my trips are impromptu as my work schedule allows. So it's tough to plan. Thanks for watching!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes, I wasn't sure what to expect here so I was glad it turned out to be a good place to eat. Thanks for watching!

[@algernon5776]

VWS: that bill was " viscous". Hand helds were way over priced at $21+ ( you didn't mention the if the burger was made from prime cuts plus the fries were from a bag not hand cut) and I thought the Cajun pasta was priced at a greedy level. Hopefully the channel is cranking out some cash 💸 💰 for you and you are not coming too much out of pocket. For me I love your solo reviews because they are quite descriptive and you are honest but not cruel. I am coming to Vegas in November so I'll use your channel for my choice of dining ( unfortunately only 1 night then unto Hawaii). Another great vlog Shin see you Tuesday Peace ✌️ out .

[@VegaswithShin]

The fries were definitely hand cut. They didn't soak them in water long enough after the cut which led to the excess starchy flavor. I've made enough fries from scratch to know the exact step they cut short to get that taste. Frozen bagged fries get industrial soaks so this is just one problem frozen fries will never have. The channel is doing well enough that I'm not spending much more than what would have been my grocery bill anyways so it's not too bad lol. Even if for a day, maybe we can catch each other on the strip. Just let me know when you're in town. Thanks for watching Al! See you Tuesday!

[@algernon5776]

@VegaswithShin I would love to meet up if schedule allows. Your fries comment is something you should point out to your viewers. That's the kind of insight that separates you from other Vegas reviewers IMHO.

[@salinator5966]

Shin, a couple of other separate KZbinrs have said the plain chicken wings ordered extra crispy are the best wings on the strip. I was surprised at the $3 upcharge for the onion rings since onions are cheaper by the pound than potatoes and there is also less weight in an order of onion rings than an order of fries.

[@VegaswithShin]

That's interesting. I will have to keep that in mind. I can definitely see it though. The wings were good. And yeah, upcharge for onion rings is annoying but I think it's the norm everywhere. I guess they're just more labor intensive? Thanks for watching!
