output: I went to Black Dog on a recent visit to C-U. Based on the reviews here, I was expecting a long wait, but got lucky and only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table (I'm sure the miserable weather had something to do with that). I can be a touch critic when it comes to BBQ - having spent years living in the southeast and in Texas, I'm familiar with both BBQ traditions. Since everything looked so good, I had to get a combination plate. My ribs were just so-so - I got the small end, and the meat had gotten pretty dried out, and were perhaps a tad over-seasoned. They did have a decent smoke flavor though, and I imagine that if I had gotten the larger pieces I would have liked them significantly better. The brisket (my usual favorite) was not particularly good - it was so lean that it had become dry and tough. However, the burnt ends really stole the show. In case you aren't familiar, they are chunks of the brisket point (not really "burnt", but they spend some extra time in the smoker giving more smoke flavor, and they don't get overly dry because of their higher fat content). They had great flavor, with an ideal, tender-but-not-too-tender texture. My sides were good - surprisingly good fries (skinny cut with a seasoned surface) and apples (a nice complement to BBQ that doubles as a dessert). None of the sauces stood out to me, but it was nice that they had a variety. If you want to try extra, you can get "half-and-half" if you ask - smaller portions of two different sauces - otherwise, they do charge extra. It is a little on the pricey side for BBQ, but given the relative lack of quality options in C-U (and the fact that they're always so busy), I can't fault them for that too much.

output: This place is the best pool party in Vegas. Hands down! Its not as sloppy as Rehab, way nicer, cleaner and overall a better pool party. Drinks are strong and not over priced.. The bartenders here will always take care of you. Recommend getting one of those gay frozen dranks and just having the bartender throw an extra shot of tequila on top just for good measure. This wil definitely get you bombed ASAP. Perfect recipe for actually picking up some Vegas Trash. Well that or just doing Don Simpson amount of blow will all but guarantee you nail some sleaze bag. Ordered a bucket of chicken fingers and fries, (better than the burgers in my opinion), thing cost about 12 bucks, pretty big portion size, more than enough to feed two people, walked around the pool carrying it like I was the Heisman Trophy statue. Food here isnt bad, not much of a selection but more than enough to hold you over. Really though, no one eats much in vegas, at least i dont. Booze, drugs and one maybe two meals a day will do the trick. The only downside to this place is that on holiday weekends it can be a nightmare. The fire marshall shuts the door down early and it becomes a total Zoo. Even if you buy tickets off wanttickets.com there is no way of knowing if you will get in or not. The regular admission lines barely move. Luckily I was able to get in on memorial day weekend but that was only after waiting almost a hour and having 4 pieces of arm candy next to me who escorted me in. I have seen many big name athletes out here as well. Its literally a whose of who of NFL & NBA All stars. The crowd here definitely is a mix of trashy whores who fly into vegas for the weekend to get piped out along with the locals who get paid to get piped out in the back of the Rhino. Avoid this place on holiday weekends if possible, unless you have a insane connection or enough money in your bank account to drop 5 grand and up just to hang around a piss warm pool. Must say I have personally picked up at least 2-8 broads here, end up banging a handful of them, even managed to nail a broad at the pool party in the handicap stall of the mens room. Real classy girl.. The only thing that can rival Wet Republic is Rehab Sunday. Stick to this place for Friday/saturday pool parties and the occasional Holiday weekend Monday.

If you are like me and live close by ... lucky you! This is the best Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas (as evidenced by the clientele -gringos are rarely seen here). If you live clear across town somewhere ... Trust me ... It is worth the drive. I lived a mere mile away for nearly ten years before I tried this place for the first time and I am kicking myself for not trying it sooner!
