the henry

place category: lasvegasrestaurants, american, and brunchplace tags: american restaurant, brunch, diner, andvegasstrip. the henry is a tasty restaurant/diner, located right off the casino floor of the cosmopolitan of las vegas. the restaurant is 24 hours and offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night dining, seven days per week. the short rib egg benedict, which is a signature dish at the restaurant was absolutely delicious and is a must-try for brunch.  the brunch cocktails were also tasty and the service was also pretty good as well.
