After waking up late on a Sunday and checking out of the Vdara, we needed a place to plop ourselves for a couple of hours for some grub before heading out of Vegas. With a serious craving for some shrimp cocktail we decided that it was time for the annual trip Downtown to the Fremont Experience for some cheap eats. Wanting a full meal not only the shrimp cocktail, and having members of our traveling caravan set on eating the Hangover burger at the Binions we headed over there to find the their whole dining area occupied. Not wanting to wait, we decided on Du Pars at the Golden Gate Hotel as an alternative, seeing as though we could just pop on across the casino afterwards for our shrimp cocktails. \n\nDu Pars is located in the far right corner of the Golden Gate Hotel at the far Western end of the Fremont Experience near the Plaza. After waiting about five minutes for seating we were seated in the back dining area. Much roomier than the diner section, but severely lacking air circulation. It was extremely warm, even the waitress was fanning herself with the menus, and other customers were commenting on the lack of AC. \n\nI ordered the BLAT burger which was standard. However, their buns were soft and delicious. Some of the best buns I've ever tasted..ha. Travel companions ordered the lunch specials, fried chicken with mashed potatoes and the other was some beef stew. Everything was pretty tasty, but the highlight was the service. Our server, a bubbly lady was extremely friendly and apparently she knew most of the local regulars personally. She really deserves extra credit for creating a friendly, \"diner-esque\" environment.\nPlus, my cherry coke never ran dry, which was awesome considering it was hot outside and Du Pars serves their drinks in some of the smallest cups in Vegas.
