RESTAURANT REVIEW: SMOKIN T’S BBQ & BAR (LAS VEGAS)
I’m not sure what happened. This spot near the corner of Flamingo and Fort Apache used to be a Dickey’s barbecue joint. But it was renamed recently and many changes were made. However, the decor inside is much the same as before (there’s Oakland Raiders photos all over walls).
