"Las Vegas has fully embraced the modern food hall — a new take on the food court model that has replaced buffets with trendy stalls from big-name chefs. The newest, and arguably most exciting, is a food hall inside the Venetian Resort. Among its standout offerings is a cult-favorite Los Angeles spot known for round-the-block lines and Nashville-style hot chicken fried until golden and craggly; the signature chicken sandwich is described as "juicy fried chicken with heat levels ranging from a mild zing to mouth-scorchingly hot, layered with slaw, cool pickles, and creamy sauce on a roasted bun." Sides like crunchy fries and indulgent thick banana pudding round out the meal, and, best of all, unlike the LA location, the Vegas outpost is still enough of a sleeper hit that there’s no line at all." - Janna Karel
"The later-day iteration of Mason Hereford’s presence in the hall, taking over after 11 a.m. and highlighted for serving fried bologna sandwiches as a distinctive midday offering." - Janna Karel

"A newly opened food hall at the Venetian Resort that transformed an existing casino food court by replacing familiar mall staples with buzzy national and celebrity-chef concepts; it debuted on June 9 and assembles crowd-drawing names from across the country, positioning itself as a compact showcase of what’s hot in American dining amid Las Vegas’s broader food-hall boom." - Janna Karel
