Pink's Hot Dogs... Famed L.A. eatery done Vegas Style

Who doesn't enjoy a great hot dog.  Whenever I'm having a BBQ at my house, a hot dog is an unspoken appetizer that is always served.  Now being from New York, there is really only one way to have this delicacy.  Mustard and Sauerkraut.  Ok, maybe that's the Jewish Bronx version but it's what I know as an authentic dog.  It kills me to see my kids put, dare I admit this to my readers, Ketchup on a dog.  But they eat it and at this age, I'm happy when they eat anything.  As I have traveled all over I have had the opportunities to try different dogs done in different ways.  The Coney chili dog in Detroit, the famed Chicago dog with neon relish and peppers and so many more.

I have been meaning to go to Pink's on my past trips to L.A. but never had the opportunity until now.  Pink's is located at Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino in las Vegas.  They have a large list of hot dogs to try there.   Their signature dog is a Chili dog but I'm not a fan of chili on anything other than a spoon.  But there were others that looked interesting.  I ordered the Brooklyn Pastrami swiss cheese dog and the big man dog.

The Brooklyn Pastrami Swiss cheese dog was excellent.  Melted Swiss cheese was on the bottom of the bun and the hot dog put onto the cheese.  Peppery lean pastrami was placed  over the dog and yellow mustard topped it all off.  the second dog, the big man dog, was a hot dog with tomato and onions and I asked them to put sauerkraut on it as well.  All of this was served with some great deep fried onion rings.

I've never met a hot dog I didn't like.  But still to this day, I like a good natural casing dog with spicy deli mustard and hot sauerkraut the best.

Pink's is located outside the Planet Hollywood hotel on the strip in Las Vegas.
