One of the butcher cabinets at Echo and Rig. All meats are hand-craved on site.
Echo and Rig is unlike any other restaurant in Las Vegas.

Getting face fucked can’t possibly be more unpleasant than sitting in a dentist’s chair for six hours.
That’s right — six gum gobbing hours.
Yesterday, during an all-day dentist appointment, I had more bodily fluid drooling out of my mouth than a meth whore. It got so bad that at one point my jaws started to cramp up.
SIX HOURS IN A DENTIST CHAIR. THE HORROR!
