Ocean One Bar & Grille, the most affordable dining spot on the Las Vegas Strip for nearly two decades, has permanently shut its doors. The go-to place for budget-friendly meals offered $5.99 lunches and $6.99 dinners.
Leaving a note on the property inside Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Shops, Ocean One’s management mentioned that their lease had ended and they were looking for a new location.
While this may be the case, it seems there is more to the story than what is being shared.
In September, an eviction notice was posted on Ocean One’s door on a Friday, and the restaurant’s name was removed from the Miracle Mile’s website. However, it reopened the following Monday as if nothing had happened.
Upon reopening, Ocean One increased its prices to $7.99 for lunch and $8.99 for dinner; still a remarkable deal.
It is hard to fathom how they managed to serve half-pound sirloin burgers, Mexican wings, and tortilla salad at such low prices.
Social Foodie Leaves Las Vegas
Food critic Keith Lee, known for his reviews of Las Vegas restaurants on TikTok for eight years, has relocated to Texas. The 28-year-old former MMA fighter gained popularity for his Vegas restaurant reviews in 2021, with one of his videos even being parodied on “Saturday Night Live.”
Lee had already begun exploring restaurants in Dallas and Houston earlier this year, raising curiosity among his followers.
In a recent video posted to his 16.7 million followers, Lee expressed gratitude to everyone he encountered in Vegas.
