Lola’s A Louisiana Kitchen on West Charleston in Las Vegas has been bringing authentic Cajun and Creole cooking to a city that desperately needed it since it opened, serving the gumbo, étouffée, and po-boys that the New Orleans table is built around with the kind of from-scratch authenticity that earns a Las Vegas neighborhood restaurant its destination reputation away from the Strip. It appeared in Season 14, Episode 9 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Serious Sandwiches,” which aired June 11, 2012. Guy Fieri found a Las Vegas kitchen doing Louisiana food with the authenticity that comes from genuinely understanding the cuisine rather than approximating it.

What to Eat
The Seafood Gumbo — a dark roux-based gumbo thick with Gulf shrimp, crab, and andouille in the proper Cajun tradition — is the Louisiana classic that earns Lola’s its Las Vegas reputation. The Shrimp Po-Boy on French bread fully dressed is the New Orleans sandwich done properly in a city that rarely offers the real thing. The Crawfish Étouffée over rice with Gulf crawfish tails in a buttery Cajun sauce is the other centerpiece that most regulars order every time. The Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce is the New Orleans dessert that closes every proper Lola’s meal. Find a Las Vegas hotel on Travelocity.
