The Egg Shop 3961 Las Vegas Blvd S., Las Vegas, NV 89119
5 Stars
For my second venture into Las Vegas eats, I stopped by what I am sure is a local favorite, The Egg Shop on the Strip. Located across from the Mandalay Bay Hotel Casino, one will find this gem of a dive. Alan is the owner and he mans the counter professionally and engagingly, answering all questions (and I ask a lot) with a smile on his face and in his voice. After my second culinary journey in the restaurant jungle of Las Vegas, I am absolutely convinced that Brevard County, FL, has pitiful food. It's a race to the bottom on the Space Coast, because if a hole-in-the-wall joint such as this can execute high-quality chow like this, the Big Boy's future is bright.
I asked Alan for a Steak and Egg sandwich, one order of his Flour Tower (a short stack of Johnny cakes), and a Strawberry Lemonade Cheesecake. As my meal was being prepared, I relaxed and took in the sights of The Strip. Las Vegas is the best place to people-watch this side of the Mississippi. You can tell the locals from the tourists from the hucksters with a glance.
Being daytime, the place wasn't busy, and my order was up in a flash. After the requisite pictures, I enthusiastically got to work because look at those pictures! First up on the discerning Big Boy's palate was the Steak and Egg sandwich. This was gigantic, cooked to perfection and the chimichurri mayo gave it a unique, exotic and excellent flavor. Wow. It was all I could do to move on to the next item.
Before I get into how they tasted, take a second and look at that picture of Alan's Flour Tower again. Have you ever seen such a perfect representation of a pancake? I would wager you haven't, and as I am in Las Vegas, I am sure we can find an odds maker for that! Now, back to the task at hand. If a picture is worth 1000 words, you can surmise how delightful those pancakes were. WTF? I would expect pancakes of this caliber in a 5-star hotel on the French Riviera, not in a diner on the Las Vegas Strip. Alan is undoubtedly a man who takes great pride in his offerings to the public and has a genuine love of serving the public. Outstanding, my man!
Just when I thought I hit the jackpot, I placed a forkful of the Strawberry Lemonade Cheesecake in my aptly named pie-hole. O. M. G. This would be illegal in Brevard; it's that good. Words do not do it justice. It was sublime in flavor, perfect in texture and downright divine on the palate.
The Big Boy says, “Visiting or residing, this is a MUST for all.”

Incredibly pricey! Average egg sandwich. Compared to the brisket we had little later in the Allegiant Stadium for just 4 USD more, just not comparable. Still can't believe how much we paid there!

I asked for two eggs over medium and they gave me a plain way over salted two egg omelet instead.

Not worth the hype. Small portions on fastfood trays. Decent taste. Much different than reviews and pictures suggested.

This is a great hole in the wall off the strip with great food and service. No indoor seating, only outside under shade. Great food!

It's all outdoor seating and standing, but great food and quick given the quality. Walk or drive here and have a nice sandwich with a smoothie to-go.

Great breakfast, very tasty. A real alternative to hotel breakfast. We had the Egg Griddle and the Moon over the Boulevard. Both super tasty. Went there for breakfast two days in a row. Unfortunately, prices have increased significantly over the last 3 years, for example the Egg Griddle went from $10 to $17.25.

Certainly spendy for the amount of food you get. But hey that's Vegas. And it was delicious!
The food is good, but for a sandwich and a coffee, it cost $22. Expensive for the quantity, it is a small portion. I don't recommend it.

Sooo good. I got the steak egg sandwich on brioche bun. Everything was cooked so well and there was so much flavor. I'll definitely be going back. Also was very quick and no lines.

Food was tasty. Service was great! Prices were over priced by about 40%. Limited parking. Additional photos on my profile page and videos on my YouTube page
