Las Vegas is a unique town. With it's history steeped in organized crime and gambling, they've over the last few decades made themselves a vacation destination for people across the world (because why else would you want to come to the middle of the desert, where it's still 95 at 10PM in the summer). Most people now focus on the strip hotels with their musical acts and amazing shows, but there are a huge number of other hotels that are "off strip", including a whole run of hotels that are centered around downtown Vegas and Fremont Street.
Vegas is also known for it's cuisine. While some restaurants are serving up Michelin rated gourmet meals and others are giving it's customers everything a $7.99 steak buffet will afford them. That also means that it should be a haven for mac n' cheese (both good and bad). While I'm sure that if I looked, every hotel would have at least one mac n' cheese at one of their many restaurants, but having come out for a convention (yes a gaming convention) I only had the time to check the hotels near the one I stayed at. Since our convention was at The Plaza on Fremont St. most of my time was spent near those hotels.
The Plaza has a chophouse (a fancy steak house) on site called Oscar's and after spending two days with friends talking about wanting steak, having a sick spouse stuck in the hotel room upstairs, I did what any good husband would do. Go and get take out to bring back to the room. When looking over the menu for something for me to eat as I'm not a big steak fan, I noticed they had sides one of which was mac n' cheese. I knew what was going to find it's way back to my hotel room.
