Best Hangover Remedy: Gospel Brunch
Although the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay might be one of the more touristy places in all of Vegas, the Gospel Brunch is well worth the crowd. After a night on the town, is there any better way to indulge, rejuvenate, and purify than with hangover-killing greasy Southern food and a live gospel choir encouraging you to go for seconds?

House of Blues and a Tesla Wedding!

After a long day of driving to Area 51, we were tired and hungry and just wanted to eat. The House of Blues had decent food and was very close in Mandalay Bay, and there was only a half hour wait. Done!
I’d eaten at a HOB before. I knew there would be simple, southern food and a blues atmosphere. And there was. But what made this particular dining experience special was that we accidentally ended up in a wedding. But not just any wedding. A Tesla wedding. (Tesla is an 80s metal band, if you don’t know.) We were sitting right behind the “preacher”, and had a full-on view of the bride (wearing a lovely pink knit shawl) and groom (wearing a wrinkled polo shirt). The entire wedding party and all the guests were wearing their Tesla shirts, while Tesla was preparing to perform next door.
The couple met online on a Tesla chat room, and then met up at a concert. Then had a Tesla wedding – in the HOB. To each his own, it seems.
When time came for photos, they had the traditional picture of their hands with their new wedding rings – over a bowl of red and black nacho chips.
All of this while I was enjoying some fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I was laughing so hard I nearly snarfed the gravy.
I don’t know that I’d say that the HOB is the restaurant (or wedding location) I’d most recommend. It’s basic food, it’s not terribly expensive, etc. It served it’s purpose – it was fast and easy.

I enjoyed the meal here very much. The food was very good and presented quite nicely. The decor is excellent. It feels like I imagine it would be in New Orleans. Even so, it had a lot of creativity and attention to detail. I enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere a lot.

We had breakfast a couple of times at the HOB, which had tasty and cheap food and great service. Our favorite part was, with your check, you get a coupon for a buy-one, get-one free breakfast the next morning! There was enough variety on the menu for this deal to last a few days!

If you're going to the Shark Reef in Mandalay Bay, get the entrance deal that comes with lunch at the House of Blues. For only $7 more, you get a full lunch with dessert and drink at the restaurant. In addition to this, if you eat in the restaurant, you get 20% off in the gift shop--very cool. Food was very good, dessert was excellent, and the service was quite nice. It wasn't overly loud or busy when I was there, but I can see it being boisterous in the evening.
