What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the crispy, juicy chicken sandwiches, generous portions, and inventive sides like the Mexican poutine and deviled eggs. Many guests call it a "hidden gem" in the Park MGM, praising both the flavor and the value. The casual atmosphere and friendly service also get high marks, especially for groups on the go.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that seating can be limited during peak hours, particularly if you're hoping to sit outside. Because it’s counter service, don't expect full table service – though most appreciate the trade-off for speed. It can also get a little loud, but that’s part of the pre-show energy!

If you're looking for fast, flavorful bites in a fun setting just minutes from the music, The Crack Shack is a top pick for concert-goers in Vegas.
