In the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, where the neon lights never dim, a new culinary star has emerged at The LINQ, promising not just a meal but an experience. Diner Ross, part of the vibrant “DiscoShow” complex, opened its doors on August 14, 2024, bringing with it a fusion of disco-era nostalgia and gourmet diner fare. Here’s your comprehensive guide to what’s making Diner Ross the talk of the town.
The Venue: A Step Back in Time
Diner Ross isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an extension of the disco-themed “DiscoShow,” where guests are invited to dance through history. The entrance at 3535 Las Vegas Boulevard leads you into 99 Prince, a cocktail bar reminiscent of a 1970s New York City subway station, setting the stage for what’s to come. The journey continues through Glitterloft, a pre-show lounge, before you reach Diner Ross, where the dining experience begins.
Menu Highlights: A Gastronomic Disco Ball
The menu at Diner Ross is a playful yet sophisticated take on diner classics, reimagined through the lens of disco glamour:
- Popovers: Instead of the usual rolls, Diner Ross offers popovers, light and airy, served with options like pâté or Oscietra caviar, setting a luxurious tone from the start.
- Dirty Martini Bibb Salad: A salad that’s as much about flavor as it is about showmanship, featuring Bibb lettuce with martini olives and Roquefort cheese, offering a tangy, savory start.
- French Onion Soup Mac and Cheese: This dish combines two comfort foods into one, with layers of caramelized onions and a rich, cheesy sauce, topped with a crispy onion garnish.
- Bavette Steak with Duck Fat Fries: For meat lovers, this dish brings a tender bavette steak paired with fries cooked in duck fat, promising a rich, satisfying experience.
- Banana Pudding Milkshake: Ending on a sweet note, this milkshake isn’t just a dessert but a spectacle, blending banana pudding with layers of vanilla ice cream, topped with a crumble for texture.
The Experience: Beyond the Plate
Diner Ross isn’t just about what’s on the plate but how it’s served. The atmosphere is electric, with the energy of the “DiscoShow” spilling over into the dining area. Whether you’re there for a pre-show meal or just to soak in the ambiance, the service is exceptional, ensuring every guest feels like they’re part of the show.
Why Diner Ross Stands Out
What sets Diner Ross apart is its seamless integration of dining with entertainment. It’s not just food; it’s an experience wrapped in the glitz of disco. The menu, crafted by the culinary minds behind Superfrico, known for its innovative Italian fare at The Cosmopolitan, brings a level of sophistication to diner food that’s both unexpected and delightful.
For those planning a visit to Diner Ross, here are some practical details to enhance your experience:
- Location: Nestled within the “DiscoShow” complex at 3535 Las Vegas Boulevard, Diner Ross is conveniently located right in the heart of the Strip, accessible directly from the pavement next to Dunkin’ or through The LINQ.
- Hours of Operation: Diner Ross is open from Wednesday to Sunday, 5 PM to 10 PM. It’s closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, making it perfect for weekend escapades or mid-week evening plans.
- Accessibility: For those requiring assistance, there’s an elevator available, and you can arrange for support by contacting the box office in advance. This ensures everyone can enjoy the disco diner experience without hassle.
- Experience Beyond Dining: Before or after your meal, explore the multi-level environment of “DiscoShow,” including the cocktail bar 99 Prince, styled like a ’70s NYC subway station, and the Glitterloft, adding layers of entertainment to your dining adventure.
- Dress Code: While not explicitly stated, the vibe suggests dressing up can add to the fun, especially if you’re also attending “DiscoShow,” but comfort is key for enjoying the full experience.
- Reservations: Given its unique setting and the popularity of the “DiscoShow,” making a reservation might be advisable to ensure you get a table, especially if you’re planning to dine during peak times or show nights.
Conclusion
Diner Ross at The LINQ isn’t just dining; it’s stepping into a time machine where every dish tells a story, and every bite is a dance move. Whether you’re in Vegas for the shows, the slots, or just the spectacle, Diner Ross offers a culinary journey that’s as much about the experience as it is about the food. With its doors open and its menu ready, Diner Ross invites you to indulge in a disco-themed feast that’s sure to be the highlight of your Vegas adventure.
