WINGS? BEST IN TOWN
He's feeling flighty, he needs some wings. Pls, somebody make a suggestion. Pls, somebody else get this jhit on video..Quote: djatcWhats the best restaurant for wings in las vegas? I need some suggestions ASAP
Available breaded or not, with varying degrees of heat, or even just plain with salt & pepper.
Alternatively, you might find Tony Roma's wings - they're made slightly different, with a slightly different sauce. They bake them first to the point where they're not quite done, then bread and fry them to finish them off - the meat comes off the bone so much more easily than simply frying them.
Just my opinion. I'm sure there are plenty of Wing restaurants that will have numerous types of sauces, but I'm a fellow who sticks to basics.
Quote: ukaserexOpinions will vary - but how could you go wrong with Hooters? They have made a tidy fortune selling the part of chicken that years ago, nobody wanted...
Is it just me, or do most people go there for the breasts and thighs? :-)

What did it cost?
Pls, no offense to Mr DJ.

My favorite wings in Vegas are at a little dive bar on Pecos and Tropicana. It is called Putter's. I always order them hot and "charred" where after frying them and saucing them they throw them on the grill and give them a little char. I particularly like them that way because you still get the flavor of the sauce but they are not messy because the sauce cooks off a little on the grill.
If you don't remember to order them "charred" you will just end up with regular wings.

Most places call these "Daytona Beach".

Really? Not doubting you, but I lived there 1997-2013, and never saw wings listed on the menu that way, or had them offered charred. Though there are many fine wing establishments there, and we ate them regularly. Maybe it was something to do with Bike Week that spread nationally? (Not a biker chick, me.)
As to the grill thing, I would like that a LOT. Think I'll watch for that option on wings menus. Learn something new every day.
Quote: PokerGrinderIMO the fury wings at Ramsay's Burger are the best in Vegas.
The 6 for $14.99? They are good but you need a 2nd mortgage to get full on them.

Check out the Hooters menu centerfold.

OK. If that's where it started (Hooters), definitely a Bike Week thing. Cool!

I think it is 8 for $14 and it is only $13 with a club card. Not much more expensive than a pound of wings back home for $10-$11.

Are you forgetting the 40% exchange on the dollar ? $18 Canadian =$13 US so 70-80% more expensive

Well by that logic though everything is a lot more expensive in comparison. Hell I go to subway in Vegas it's going to cost me 50% more than in Canada lol.
I bet you $5 you can't eat 6 of the super-flucking-spicy (most spicy) wings at BWW in 5 minutes with nothing to drink, no throwing up, etc. (for at least 30 minutes after the last wing is consumed).

Thanks Drich just sent a runner to try it out.

That's what they call the wings at Hooters if you ask to have them charred on the grill after the sauce is applied. That said, I kind of expect more of the people here. If I was travelling to a town I was unfamiliar with and asked for the best wings and someone replied Hooters, I might find that a bit insulting, unless, of course, and I don't live there, so I don't know, that those might be the best wings around a major city. It's kind of akin to asking for the best burger in town and directing them to a McDonald's. But if those wings are good at Putter's I would like to know for my next trip out there. There seems to be one on Las Vegas Blvd as well almost all the way down to South Point.
Anyone passing through the Buffalo area, google Duff's in the Eastern Hills Mall.
I use Frank's Red Hot (what I hear they use in Buffalo)
I put in half a stick of butter
2 cloves of garlic sent through a garlic press
about 8 drops of Worcestershire sauce
a tsp of cayenne pepper (sometimes I substitute chili powder instead)
2 tsp of onion powder
about a quarter size pile of salt in my palm
a little bit of fresh cracked black pepper
a splash of white vinegar
I grill my wings and then put them in a bowl with the sauce and stir them up, never putting any sauce on while on the grill
1. The Chicago Brewing Company @ The FourQueens. Big, meaty wings, choice of sauces. None of that breading stuff. They also have a great IPA from a local Las Vegas Brewery.
2. Thai Style wings @ Le Thai., further down Fremont, almost to the El Cortez. Again, different levels of heat, absolutely delish.
While at Red Rock over Thanksgiving, we found the 8 Noodle Bar. They have these salt & pepper chicken wings, wok cooked with chiles, garlic and scallions. They are VERY tasty.
Having grown up in Buffalo/WNY, I've had my share of really good wings.

I'm salivating now!
