Living up to try and be the next 'Ahhnold' (an Asian one anyway) or Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson (I am known in many circles as 'The Pebble'), I do enjoy my breakfast. And I love, love, love eggs! It's the world's most complete animal protein. Bodybuilders and Meatheads alike know...if you want more muscle, you must eat more protein! I'm far from my early 20's when I used to add a raw egg or 2 to my daily whey protein & creatine shake, or eat 6 hard boiled eggs daily to help 'bulk up'...but I still love me some eggs early in the morning!\n\nThe Cracked Egg if you can't already tell is a breakfast-heavy joint. They are usually only open daily for breakfast and lunch. It's been voted 'The Best of Las Vegas' by the LVRJ at least 3 times. So I figure instead of making my own breakfast we'd go check this place out. \n\nThe day we went it was packed! Of course, it was a Sunday and church was probably just letting out. There's a big hustle and bustle here, no shortage of orders being called out, waitstaff running around with plates, and the smell of fresh coffee being brewed. Man, do I love the first meal of the day! Yes, I am a morning person. Night owls beware!\n\nMenu is a good size and offers a ton of choices. Now with The Cracked Egg being its namesake, please realize that most of their dishes require EGGS. If you don't like eggs or egg products STEER CLEAR. Should be obvious. Go back to your overpriced lattes and friggin' scones. Go dunk your donuts somewhere else. Go back to your toaster to watch those tarts pop. I feel sad for you folks.\n\nThe Cracked Egg has different parts to their menu. There's \"Breanne's Basics\" which have your plain eggs & bacon, eggs & sausage, and similar type stuff here. In \"Eggs With Attitude\" these dishes are mostly various things scrambled with eggs, which they call a 'scramble'. I much enjoy the Southwest Scramble which has 3 eggs scrambled with chorizo, green chiles, jalapenos, onion, jack & cheddar cheese, and a side of salsa. \"The Benedicts\" is self-explanatory, a list of all their different Eggs Benedict concoctions. Me? I like the good ol' regular Eggs Benedict standard, done right. In the \"Fluffy & Folded\" section you got your 3 egg omelettes, and my faves are The Denver with ham, bell peppers, onions, and cheese, or The Greek with spinach, tomatoes, and feta. Yum! \"Sin City Skillets\" are for you wannabe cowboys who like your food coming in a cast-iron skillet, build your own or choose one off of their menu. The last big breakfast section is \"From the Griddle\" and includes their French toast choices as well as fresh pancakes. From what I've tried and what I've heard...it's all pretty good stuff. \n\nThe Cracked Egg also has non-breakfast stuff for you non-breakfast eaters too. From sandwiches and salads, to burgers and homemade chili, it's all there. But why come to a breakfast joint and not have breakfast? It's like going to El Pollo Loco and asking for fish! Try the breakfast.\n\nOnly gripe I have here is that the prices are a bit on the high side. I could make some of these dishes at home easily for half the cost, and do just as good a job since I love making breakfast anyway. Two folks eating breakfast with a cup of joe each will probably set you back $25+ after tax and tip depending on what you eat. Worth it if you go every once in a while or on a special occasion. Or if you're loaded like Steve Wynn. Geez, that guy is rich.\n\nStop by The Cracked Egg, have a hearty breakfast, then bench press that little Fiat in the parking lot!
