Las Vegas, "the city of sin" (III)

USA

We arrive at an important part of our journey in every trip, the local food. The whole country is not really characterized by having a meal as extensive as other countries may have and it is far from that cliché that in the United States only hamburgers, pizzas, hot dogs and cola drinks are eaten. These foods can be eaten anywhere in the world and are just as greasy and cause as much cholesterol, or more, than those here.

We are going to know some of the typical foods, not only from Nevada but from all over the United States where we could say that the menu is homogeneous although, obviously, each state has its delicacies.
