The sprawling arts and entertainment complex Area15 has always been a feast for the senses, even set against the backdrop of the Las Vegas Strip. Now its primary eatery is offering up a literal feast in the form of a seemingly insurmountable food challenge.
Aptly named foodie destination The Beast just rolled out new menu items including a brisket cheesesteak, buttermilk fried chicken, and colossal dishes for groups of visitors like a barbecue sampler and Junk Yard nachos layered with grilled chicken and beer cheese sauce. But it’s impossible to look past the new Feast at the Beast Challenge, a Godzilla-sized burger that’s free if you finish it and costs $88 if you don’t. Spoiler alert: You’re going to pay.
The two-pound patty mounted on King’s Hawaiian bread loaf is equipped with one pound of bacon, one pound of American cheese, and handfuls of lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and classic Thousand Island dressing. (Hold on: You’ve never had a handful of Thousand Island dressing, have you?) There’s also a pound of fries and four of the Beast’s signature Potato Tornadoes to get through, tasty bites in their own right. Are you ready to climb this food mountain?
THE BEAST Area15, 725-210-5365, area15.com. Daily, noon-10 p.m.
