The food at The George is a testament to culinary excellence. The chicken corn chowder starter sets a high bar, with a richness and depth of flavor that surpasses even the renowned version at the Grand Californian Hotel.

The halibut, although slightly overdone, showcases the kitchen's ambition, hinting that a slight tweak in cooking time could elevate it to perfection. Meanwhile, the risotto with its generous helping of mushrooms and robust flavor profile, and the expertly cooked pork chop with its vibrant chili rub, are clear indicators of The George's commitment to quality and flavor.

The ambiance of The George is equally commendable. It strikes a harmonious balance between elegance and casual comfort, making it suitable for both special occasions and casual outings. The upbeat atmosphere, combined with the sports-centric theme, ensures that there's never a dull moment.

We stopped in for lunch at The George, located inside the stylish new Durango Casino & Resort in Las Vegas and it did not disappoint. This isn’t your average sports bar. The George is a unique Sports & Entertainment Lounge that seamlessly blends the classic charm of vintage Vegas with modern flair. It’s the perfect spot where high quality food, drinks, sports, and entertainment converge under one roof. Here, as their slogan goes, anyone can be a George.

The name and concept are a clever homage to the tradition of calling generous tippers “a George”, a nod to the face on the one dollar bill. Created by Jonathan Fine, CEO and founder of FINE Entertainment Management, in collaboration with Station Casinos, The George sits next to the STN Sportsbook and offers both an energetic indoor dining room and a sleek, covered patio surrounded by wrap around LED screens. It’s a great space for watching sports, enjoying live entertainment, or hosting private events. Sports betting kiosks are also conveniently located inside the lounge, adding another layer of excitement. Even better, The George is open 24/7.

The ambiance was outstanding. From the black and white striped awnings and umbrellas at the entrance to the cozy, stylish indoor/outdoor seating, everything felt thoughtfully curated. We sat in the enclosed patio area, which was cool and comfortable. Large TVs broadcasted a variety of games, and the decor struck a nice balance between sporty and chic, with touches like hanging greenery and modern wall art that added warmth and personality.

Service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server accommodated all of our requests with a smile and never missed a beat.

We started with the Triple Berry Mojito, which was just okay, refreshing but underwhelming in flavor. However, the food more than made up for it. We ordered a variety of dishes: the BLT, a classic burger, shrimp appetizer, truffle fries, and a salmon salad. Every dish was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in both quality and consistency.

Despite the mediocre mojito, I’m giving The George a solid five out of five stars. The overall experience from the welcoming ambiance and exceptional service to the delicious food was truly fantastic. Whether you’re a Vegas local or just visiting, The George is a great spot for a relaxed but elevated meal with a sports...

Talk about a major disappointment of a restaurant. We made reservations days in advance for dinner with an indoor table on Christmas Day. When we got there no tables were available. They then told us that if we wanted a table we would have to sit outside (and promised there would be heaters). The hostess proceeded to “make sure that the table outside is ready.” When she came back she then ignored us and welcomed and seated groups who had walked up in the meantime. When they finally sat us at our table there was no heaters whatsoever for our area. It took twenty minutes to be acknowledged by staff once seated. They then took drink orders and didn’t ask if we wanted to order appetizers nor our mains. Eventually another server came around and took our food orders. We asked about the lack of heaters since they were promised and our table was freezing on this 36° night. The manager did come over fairly quickly to “remedy” this, however the best he could do was point two heaters from multiple tables over in our general direction. This did nothing to improve our discomfort. By the time our food came it was mostly cold. Had it been warmer it would have probably tasted ok, it was just unacceptable. To add insult to injury, one of us ordered the hot honey fried chicken Mac and cheese. There was only four tiny chicken nuggets on there, and for the price this is asinine. No one refilled our water, and no one asked us if we wanted to order any dessert or more drinks. We had virtually no contact from staff other than when we made our first drink and main order, and then when the bill came. Another issue to note is that although this is a sports bar restaurant, the sound system is incredibly loud. We had to basically scream at each other to have a conversation with others at our table. This was a huge disappointment of a restaurant, especially on a holiday. It has so much potential, but it’s obvious the staff just doesn’t really care. No apologies, no attention, and poorly ran. The management needs to really take a step back and figure out how to tighten up the ship. Don’t let your staff force a pre-booked group into seating that they didn’t reserve and promise heaters on one of the coldest nights of the year. Doubt I’d ever come back, let alone recommend to...
