We had a lot to get to at the Plaza <a href=\"\/hotel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hotel in Las Vegas<\/a>, but before we could do anything, whether work or play, we needed to eat a solid breakfast.\r\n\r\nThe best way to start the day is with breakfast at <a href=\"\/dining\/hash-house-a-go-go\/\">Hash House A Go Go<\/a>. One of our favorite dishes there is the classic Boston Hash \u2013 crispy potatoes, mixed onions and fresh tomatoes crowned with blue crab cake drizzled with horseradish cream and served with eggs and fresh fruit. After a breakfast of that magnitude we were almost ready to begin the day. We just needed to stop by Cafelatte for a Lavazza coffee first.\r\n\r\n<strong>12:32 p.m. <\/strong>Before we knew it, it was already time for lunch. We were still a little full from breakfast and were busy making the most of the day so we opted for something quick and easy at <a href=\"\/dining\/pop-up-pizza\/\">Pop Up Pizza<\/a>. We indulged in a slice of cheese, but also had a salad. Mom always said eat your veggies!\r\n\r\n<strong>5:00 p.m.<\/strong> Five o\u2019clock rolled around. It was a busy and productive day, but now it was time to relax and enjoy the evening. It was a beautiful fall day in Vegas. Today\u2019s sky was a mix of pink, orange and red as the sun set. We headed to the <a href=\"\/dining\/beer-garden\/\">Bier Garten<\/a> for a craft beer and to enjoy the sights and sounds of Downtown Las Vegas from the outdoor area. In addition to our beers, we ordered a giant pretzel and wurst to share as a snack before dinner.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-331\" title=\"Bier Garten\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/plaza-food-diary-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bier Garten food and drinks\" title=\"Bier Garten food and drinks\" width=\"487\" height=\"487\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>6:52 p.m. <\/strong>We had a reservation at <a href=\"\/dining\/oscars\">Oscar\u2019s<\/a> for 7 p.m. so we headed upstairs to the restaurant. The decor of Oscar&#8217;s is glamorous. It incorporates memorabilia from Oscar Goodman&#8217;s 12-year tenure as mayor as well as classic photographs of Las Vegas from over the years. It makes you feel like a star.\r\n\r\nWe started with some calamari and chose the pork chop for the entr\u00e9e. The calamari was nice and crispy on the outside and the pork chop had been perfectly seared. Not a bad way to wrap up another fun day at the Plaza.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-339 alignleft\" title=\"Oscar's calamari\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/plaza-food-diary-32.jpg\" alt=\"Oscar's calamari\" title=\"Oscar's calamari\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-340 alignleft\" title=\"Oscar's pork chop \" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/plaza-food-diary-33.jpg\" alt=\"Oscar's pork chop \" title=\"Oscar's pork chop \" width=\"344\" height=\"344\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"7:00 a.m. The alarm clock went off and there was no hitting snooze.
