The 38 Essential Restaurants in Las Vegas
"The story of Aloha Specialties dates back to 1975, when casino magnate Sam Boyd opened the California Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. After moving from Honolulu to Las Vegas, Boyd set about making the Cal a home away from home for Hawai’i natives. Today, Aloha Specialties at the Cal helps secure Las Vegas’s affectionate status as the Ninth Island, a nickname designated by the city’s significant number of Hawaiian visitors and residents. The restaurant reliably makes juicy shredded Kahlúa pork, steaming saimin bowls, pleasantly salty Spam musubi, teriyaki plates, creamy scoops of mac salad, and a mountain of gravy-laden loco moco for Hawaiian natives located across the lower 48." - Janna Karel
