It’s lights out for Sun’s Out, Buns Out at Resorts World.<\/p>\n

The restaurant has closed permanently, and was one of the resort’s original eateries when it opened on June 24, 2021. In its place, there’s a pop-up smash burger offering, Not a Damn Chance (NADC), with exactly one burger on the menu.<\/p>\n

Let’s see if we can fluff up this story a bit, despite the fact we gave you all the relevant information already, shan’t we?<\/p>\n

\"\"
The chairs were Grammable, so there’s that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sun’s Out, Buns Out was fairly popular, relying heavily on its sassy name to get patrons in the door.<\/p>\n

The restaurant offered a handful of egg sandwiches.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Here’s the menu for posterity.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We probably should’ve called “dibs” on the revolving statue out front.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Sun’s Out, Buns Out had a very low bar for Grammability.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Most traces of Sun’s Out, Buns Out are gone, but not all.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Out of the frying pan and into oblivion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rather than the space sitting empty, Resorts World added a pop-up burger joint, NADC.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Nothing fancy, but it’ll do in a drunken stupor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s the official description of NADC: “The brainchild of Chef Phillip Frankland Lee (Scratch Restaurants) and Neen Williams, NADC is unapologetically crave-worthy, fast-casual done differently. With a cult following across Austin, NYC, Chicago, and beyond, this pop-up brings the signature NADC experience to the Strip for a limited time only, turning the classic burger joint into a full sensory, late-night indulgence.”<\/p>\n

Actual results may vary.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We tried a little food styling. It didn’t help.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It turns out, smash burgers aren’t particularly photogenic.<\/p>\n

We had to cut this bad boy open. It’s a lot.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Not our thing, but you might love it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

NADC will be around through mid-October 2025. Unless it’s wildly popular. Let’s just say, not a damn chance.<\/p>\n

Here’s the NADC menu. It’s easy to memorize.<\/p>\n

\"\"
You’re not getting “two three-ounce patties of 100% Wagyu beef” for $16. Well, it’s not the Wagyu you’re thinking of. This is probably a mix of Wagyu and Angus, the “Wagyu” being more of a marketing thing than a statement about the level of intramuscular marbling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We’d read online that NADC has a strict “no substitutions” policy, but that’s untrue. We nixed the “tamed jalapenos” and no altercation ensued.<\/p>\n

Unaffected by the closure of Sun’s Out, Buns Out is the adjoining Randy’s Donuts, where a dozen classic doughnuts cost $42.21 and a dozen “premium” doughnuts are $52.13. We are not making this up.<\/p>\n

We indulged in a $4.50 classic glazed twist.<\/p>\n
