Sammy's Beach Bar & Grill ~ national chain : Las Vegas, Nevada


First visit: Mar 2024

Locations: 4 total. All in airports including Honolulu, Maui, and Cleveland. Mensa quiz: Which of these four do not fit the sequence?

The next day we had our big event, which I'll not mention to preserve some sort of anonymity. So the next dining experience would have to be at the Las Vegas airport on the final day. I already knew that Las Vegas has one of the worst food selections of any airport in America. But I didn't want to be hauling luggage and a laptop to another restaurant and then feel rushed to get to the airport. So I took my chances. After wandering around the A and B gates aimlessly - I cannot for the life of me understand why there aren't any bar / food type restaurants here, other than they'd rather you gamble than drink - I decided to take a hike to the C gate. At least here they offer more than just fast food options. I don't recall Sammy's prior, but what an oasis in a sea of nothingness.

Sammy is none other than Sammy Hagar. Yea, that guy. Long past fronting Ronnie Montrose, his own namesake group, and Van Halen, Hagar has proven to also be a good businessman. 

I hate to say it, but this was the best sit down meal I had all week. I can't recall another time when I said that about an airport restaurant. Especially this airport. I was very pleased with my rather large bacon cheeseburger. Great flavor and it came out steaming hot and cooked perfectly. The fries were ample and tasty as well. Only grump is they don't have a single Nevada beer within a decent sized craft collection. That doesn't make sense. C'mon Sammy - get local man! So I enjoyed a New Belgian Hazy IPA, something I can get here all day long. But I was thirsty and needed to wind down. So it worked out...
