    For anyone who hasn't yet discovered In-n-Out, here's a visit to their location near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX):

    When we get to LA, were doing our first 2 nights in Santa Clarita..... Directly opposite is an "in-n-out" burger joint!

    They are by far the most tastiest burger I have ever had! The Double-Double cheeseburger, mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmm !!!
    So defo will be going there! Jack-in-the-box also gets my vote!


    As for Heart Attack grill, think I might just go along for the spanking! haha !!! :D:D:D

    I was there last April, my wife works for the Police & we got talking to a hugely tall Police sergeant waiting to be served in there, nice bloke & great burgers :-)


    The Kids also loved Jack in the Box & Denny's, great for fussy eaters

    For burgers I'd also recommend Wendy's, and Dairy Queen's bacon double-cheeseburgers are good.

    Sonic is a uniquely American experience - a drive-in fast food chain where you are served in your car.

    The Mexican fast food chains such as Taco Bell are also worth a go for something different. People say it's not real Mexican, fair enough, but it appeals to me and it's very good value for money.

    Again for something different, try Arby's roast beef sandwiches (numerous thin slices of beef in a burger bun). Hardee's also used to do them but no longer I think (Hardee's is the east coast and mid-west partner of Carl's Jr).

    For steaks we found Golden Corral very good but I've heard rumours that they're not so good these days.

    I love Arby's but my husband hates it so it has been years since I have been to one for a Beef and Cheddar with extra Horsey Sauce. I also think Taco Bell has a time and a place (but not when actual Mexican food is the goal :) and the potential side effects are not without need of consideration).

    I also love Popeye's Chicken...now that they have one at the Excalibur/Luxor food court my life is pretty much complete.

    We don't eat a lot of chain fast food in Vegas as there are so many dining options available we can never fit it all in. But a visit to In-and-Out and Popeye's (last day between checking in for our flight and dumping the cases and returning the car) and Earl of Sandwich are pretty common for us and occur most trips...though we now have an EOS close enough to walk to for lunch we still seem to end up there at least once a trip.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    I have Instagram (I have no idea why TBH). I posted a pic I happened to have on my phone of Caesars just to see how it would work. I received the 10 points 24 hours later. You can then post another pic with the hashtag 7 days later. So it might be worth it to get 10 points once a week??

    Just noticed the Instagram posts are part of the 3 a day limit. Unlike the "share" and YouTube posts.

    I think there are now 3 hotels with Instagram points. Tried to sign up on the pc earlier, think I might need to do it on my tablet instead, since it's an app and it was coming up that I had 'no devices' on the pc.
