"A post shared by C A I L E E ✨ CONTENT CREATOR (@caileeschreck).

"Inside one of the best casino resorts on the Strip, Slice of Vegas is an Italian restaurant with a vegan twist. Granted, a large portion of their menu is traditional, meat-based Italian cuisine, but for the vegan who craves some pasta, this is the spot. Try the meatless meatball sub, vegan pastas or Buffalo chick’n pizza with a side of vegan garlic bread for a truly satisfying meal."

"Without a doubt, this was the most homestyle (in a good way) offering in Las Vegas, and by far the most authentic and relatable as an Asian person. The waitress was basically a stereotypical Chinese auntie. We told her I had a peanut allergy and she said “OK, you shouldn’t order this one, or this one, or this one."

"Todos lo año ceno por lo menos una vez en este lugar y siempre es un gusto comer los noodles hechos a mano. Simplemente deliciosos"
