Opened in 1938 at Los Angeles original 3rd and Fairfax Farmers Market Du-par’s can safely be called iconic, its nine seats since expanded to several locations including a 24-hour spot inside Las Vegas’ Suncoast Hotel & Casino.
The combination of James Dunn and Edward Parsons’ last names, now owned by former server Francis Tario, it is under the Boyd Gaming label that guests at 9090 Alta Drive can expect familiar vinyl booths and classic diner staples.
Recently renovated along with much of the local casino, a walk from parking past slots and tables all too familiar for many, peak times may find a brief wait during which patrons are tempted by freshly-baked goods including several Pies and a towering Cinnamon Roll liberally slathered in Frosting.
Not to be mistaken with Las Vegas Boulevard, fair prices and leisurely service comparable to spots like Babystacks or Omelet House, Coffee and Water are kept full throughout while Food ranges from an exceptional Pot Pie beneath buttery Crust to a French Dip that is frankly overcooked and flavorless sans Jus.
Best known for “World Famous” Pancakes, the original recipe still unchanged since opening, suffice it to say a “Vegas Stack” of three is the go-to as each is simultaneously thick yet light with intrinsic sweetness to the custard-like center – though zealots should plan to bring their own real Maple Syrup from home if possible.
