UYE-Steppin’ Out @ Slidin’ Thru HQ-AFTER HOURS!!!

Nelson picks good times and places and brings out the people. You can’t beat getting a box of treats and a bit of a food discount too. Your french macarons have a perfect texture that put some of these bakeries in town to shame! I like the salty sweet of the brittle and who doesn’t love nipples of Venus cookies? I just wanted to say nipples of Venus, hahah.
That’s really all I wanted to say, a bit of kudos to Nelson for workin’ it out for steppin’ out.
My review of the place itself, I did on HQ’s page since it doesn’t really have to do with the UYE, but positives and setbacks with the actual place.

Steppin’ out with some Unilocalers
Can’t go wrong ’cause Nelson’s in right
It’s for sure, not for maybe
That that was one fun night!
I’ll let you in on a little secret: I love UYEs! I get to show up, kick back and hang out with the Unilocal crew, so thank you to Nelson for stepping up on yet another successful evening. The venue was perfect, and the box of sweets was a decadent, thoughtful treat for sure. Unilocal Las Vegas scored big with our bevy of bakers!
The turnout was great, and Unilocal received a special shout out from the DJ, who kept the music fresh all night. The husband got to shoot a round of pool, and I got to lounge in the corner of a comfy couch. This, my friends, is great success.
Kudos to Nelson, may he inspire Unilocalers near and far to unofficially Unilocal it up!

So far, I was lucky to be at all three of Nelson Q’s UYEs (Island Style, Sin City Sushi, & Slidin’ Thru HQ). If you guys haven’t been to Nelson’s Steppin’ Out UYES, you’ve gotta come down and enjoy it next time! I’ve always had a good time with everyone at his events: P Also, it was great to meet all new Unilocalers and their friends: P Always such a great crowd, yeah!
If by some miracle you haven’t been to Slidin’ Thru HQ yet, you’re totally missing out! Really cool atmosphere, the entire staff is very friendly, a loud heart pumping music playing by DJ, & never get tired of food there.

Thanks once more to Nelson Q for organizing yet another fun event. (your UYEs are like a series of novels, can’t wait till the next one, lol)
Hope to see you all at next Nelson’s Steppin’ Out UYE!!!

That was FUN! Everyone was so cool …theres a bar literally 2 feet away lol… me my roomate and bf ended up staying till 5 am playing pool drinking an putting 20 dollar bills in the jukebox and and ordering sliders they brought them to us in the bar! and yes thats a fun night to us lloll… the food was just too good as usual… i dont think i can ever look at a regular sized burger the same way now.

Well done Nelson my man! And a big thanks to the team at Slidin’ Thru. That was a great night.
(If you need proof just take a glance at the photos of me double fisting, and then keep in mind that we were still ordering sliders at 2a.m. and didn’t stumble out of the bar until 5.)
This was my first time at the HQ and I was blown away by the local’s vibe and the speakeasy feel. All capped off by the fact that you can BYOB.
The sliders are consistently good across the board. No matter what I order I’m more than satisfied.
I wasn’t as big on the mystery slider as everyone else seemed to be. It just felt too familiar and easy, and I’ve come to enjoy a little twist on the standard… but after conversing with the girl behind the register I learned that, while there isn’t a SECRET menu per se, there is a staff menu of items they make and create including:
–Barby fries with pulled pork and topped with extra cheese
–Pulled pork tacos with choice of additional toppings.
Can’t wait to go back.

5 Star UYE enough said. Never even knew that this place existed, I guess it’s one of those lilttle hidden gems in Sin City that need to be discovered, and I’m one of them!
The sliders are freaking delicious, they have a few that you can choose from (you can mix n’ match). All of the ingredients stand out in their own way, instead of your typical slider where you just taste the patty. The fries looked really good too, but I didn’t have a chance to try it last night.
Prices are very reasonable. Service is awesome, the staff is extremely nice and cool. In house DJ was hopping (nice headphones! I got the same ones =D).
Overall excellent event hosted by Nelson Q., thanks for the pastries too by the way, they’re bombtastic!
Slidin’Thru HQ is so awesome I vow never to give it up, never drop my sliders on the ground, never turn around and desert it. Never going to say good bye and never going to tell a lie…
I want more of Nelson’s little pastries…

Nelson Q sure knows how to set up a UYE. He picks great spots that draw the crowd. And last night, he incentivized people to show up early by teasing us with a surprise for the first ten Unilocalers! Well, I showed up an hour late, but lucky for me, someone left their dessert box behind for me to claim. They were delicious!
As for Slidin’ Thru HQ, I had already eaten, but the place is very hip. It’s right around the corner from work, so I really have no excuse that it was my first time there. I definitely need to grab lunch there soon.
Thanks for a fun event Nelson =)

Much Mahalo to the Slidin’Thru Ohana and the Unilocalers who came out for last night’s UYE!
As always, the food was on point, The service was awesome, and the beats were bangin’ from the in-​house DJ. We also got to chow down on the mystery slider of the night, The Truffle Shuffle-​Truffle Oil, Ponzu, Mushrooms, Bacon, Swiss Cheese, and Tomatoes… What’s not to love about that knockout combo!!!
Here’s a few little factoids I found out last night–
–Any owner of a cool «STREET FOOD IS NOT A CRIME» T-​Shirt gets 10% off their bill when you’re sporting it in the HQ…
–NO CORKAGE FEE!!!-Yup, you can bring in your own brewskis to enjoy with your sliders and superfries… How cool is that!!!
Overall, a great time last night, and congrats to the first 10 who receieved their sweet treats:)…ALOHA!!!
