But what really gets us excited , of course , is the nutrient – it ’s almost deserving attend all three days just so you could try everything . Here ’s a looking at at the bites you should put at the top of your leaning .
Lil' BRGs
STK
The Cosmopolitan ’s steak spliff has a playfulness lounge atmosphere that will surely carry over to the festival . Keep your eyes strip down for the Lil ' BRGs – sliders that are kind of like a Big Mac ( with " special sauce " on a sesame seed roll ) , but made with wagyu beef . The meat , a concoction of chuck and rib - eye , is 20 - 25 % blubber by design , append up to a supremely voluptuous bite .

One of the in force thing about animation Is Beautiful is the prospect to check out some great food for thought from out of townspeople . BBD ’s is from Long Island , New York , and as the name suggests , its menu focuses on beer , beefburger , and desserts . One of the dishes they ’ll be handing out is the Double Steamed Burger , a prime business firm - solid ground patty , steamed over chopped onion and jam – kind of like a White Castle burger , but with top - quality beef for a change . clean admonition : the employees here may take a break to look out Jane ’s Addiction , since the band ’s " Coming Down the spate " is actually on the play list in the restaurant ’s dining room back home .

Daddy’s On A Roll
Stripchezze
There will be a few food trucks on website as part of the culinary options at LIB . mark off out Stripchezze for all kinds of cheesy collation and sandwiches , and powerfully consider the Daddy ’s On A Roll , which stuffs a mac & cheese blending of provolone , cheddar , and mozzarella inside a deep - fry eggroll . It ’s served with a side of " kimchi sauce " that actually does n’t have any kimchi in it , but is a sweet chili portmanteau word with a smack that ’s half - Korean , half - American – just as the owner of the food truck describes herself .
Cheese-Stuffed Meatball Sub

Garbage Salad
N9NE Steakhouse
So much better than its name implies , this salad is one of just a few dishes that have remained unaltered over the preceding 15 years at the Palms ' N9NE Steakhouse . Just like the ingredients thrown into a bowling ball of petite marmite soup , those in the Garbage Salad are greater than the sum of their parts . The mix of romaine lettuce , salami , prawn , cucumber , tomato , artichokes , crispy shallots , olives , heart of palm , spell gorgonzola cheese , and house - made dijon vinaigrette may seem like an rum intermixture , but they come together really attractively in this dish .
Salmon Club Sandwich
EATT
One of our favoritenew restaurants in Las Vegasbrings a healthy touching to French - inspired lunch and breakfast bite . The squad offered a preview of their intellectual nourishment last twelvemonth at LIB , and will be back again . Do n’t hop the salmon club sandwich , suffice on whole grain bread that ’s toast on - situation . The salmon is rampantly - caught from the Atlantic Ocean and marinated for 24 hours in a mix of citrus , dill , and sea salt , then serve up with cos lettuce , cherry tree tomatoes , and a dressing made with Greek yogurt and mint . It ’s a healthy and refreshing saucer to enjoy while the Sunday beats down in the midsection of the day – preferably against a daytime DJ typeset from the likes of contraband Lab or Aaron Jackson .
Yellowtail Taquitos
SUSHISAMBA
By combining Nipponese and South American cuisine , SUSHISAMBA has rise to be a popular hit in the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Palazzo . LIB is the perfect chance to sample the Yellowtail Taquitos – they ’re so popular , the eating house says it ’s not strange to serve up to 300 orders in a single day , but you’re able to get access to them here . The Japanese Ocyurus chrysurus is finely veer and miscellaneous with yuzu sauce and other flavors .

For something different , go with the Freakin ' Vegan Vegetable Satay : flat bamboo skewers will be dilute with green zucchini , yellowish squash racquets , portobello mushroom-shaped cloud , Nipponese eggplant , and flushed shishito white pepper that are grown on a farm just outside Las Vegas and take base on peak harvest home prison term . They will be marinade in a superfood sauce vinaigrette that let in flaxseed fossil oil and apple cider acetum before being cooked on a Nipponese robata grillwork and finished off with a kale topping . It ’s the best piece of evidence that you’re able to eat healthy at an outside festival ( and still eat food for thought that ’s delectable ) .
Dragon Fries
Dragon Grille
This intellectual nourishment truck place a fun fusion spin on Korean food . Witness the Dragon Fries , which come beer - battered with Korean beef cattle brisket on top , along with Galbi Q sauce , cilantro , and nora komi furikake seasoning . The sauce itself blends a sweet barbecue flavor with a white emollient , kind of like how an nontextual matter display called the Big Rig Jig blend two semi - trucks into one 50 foot carving . you’re able to come up it at LIB in the court of the previous Ferguson motel . Was that a stretch ? Maybe . What can we say , we ’re just really emotional about LIB flop now .
Turkey Pesto Panini
50 Shades of Green
Unlike most solid food trucks , 50 Shades of Green focalize on nutrient that ’s clean , respectable , constitutional , and made without any sugar or artificial ingredients . You ’ll in spades want to try out the turkey pesto panini , made up of roasted turkey , basil pesto , and havarti tall mallow on piece of Dave ’s Killer Bread . Then you’re able to balance out all this clean eating by catching reggae band Dirty Heads . It ’s the secure of both earth .

This cafe is popular for both breakfast and luncheon , either at Downtown Summerlin or its original locating near Las Vegas City Hall . Stop by for the " bacon dippers " – fluffy pancakes laid over strips of bacon served with peppercorn maple syrup for , yes , dipping .

The Homer Donut
Donut Bar
This San Diego donut shop had swelled shoes to fill when it take over the Downtown distance allow behind after O Face Doughnuts shut down , but it ’s start to draw loyal fans of its own . The business has a notableSimpsonsfascination , with a themed can and the Homer doughnut , which will be passed out at LIB . It ’s a downy instauration top with a patty hitter glaze that ’s dye pink and rainbow sprinkles – just like a donut you ’d see on the cartoon show . Donut Bar will also have maple bacon and vegan options at the festival , but we recommend stay put with the Homer . It ’s the kind of goofy regale you should consider bringing along to The Kindhouse , a new area this year that will be hosting stomach - up comedy .
