Famous Dave's has a lot going for it. The restaurant actually is part of a Minnesota-based chain, and the company has plans to open all over Nevada. The state's first restaurant, near the intersection of Lake Mead and Rainbow boulevards, resembles a log cabin in the north woods, as American as all get out.
The restaurant features an offering of six sauces, all good, to go with your meal. The sauces include: Rich and Saucy; a tame hot sauce called Devil's Spit; the complex Sweet and Zesty; the oregano- and cumin-tinged Texas Pit; and Georgia Mustard. (No. 6 is ketchup.)
Because Famous Dave's slow cooks its meats for several hours, the food acquires smokiness and tenderness, two hallmarks of good 'cue. The brisket and St. Louis-cut ribs are especially good, and the chicken, more of a roasted bird than a barbecued one, isn't bad at all.
The ribs have a nice spice rub, but when ordered, they come to the table lathered in Rich and Sassy sauce, so if you prefer your ribs "naked," ask in advance. Two more good main dishes are sweet-water catfish with a nice, crunchy crust; and double-smoked ham, tender and sweet from a sugary glaze.
For dessert, there is a rich, sweet pecan pie, served warm with vanilla ice cream; a hot fudge Kahlua brownie too rich for words; and the restaurant's Famous Bread Pudding, a properly egg-rich version that will sate the most persistent appetites.

I personally haven't ate at this restaurant but while watching the food channel it was reviewed as one of the great BBQ restaurants in LV. I love BBQ and Las Vegas so I wrote it down. It is Ellis Island Brewery- and it is off the strip. It is also relatively cheap and they make homemade beer. If you try it, let me know how it was.

I've had good BBQ in Chicago IL, NY, Kentucky, Tenn and Mich. Famous Dave's is right up there. Stick with the ribs, and you won't be disappointed. As redunicorn pointed out, their six sauces give you a choice of tastes, but their "Rich and Sassy" is my fave.

They grill it up, then keep is warm in the crotch pot. Add a little seasoning, and souse. Then put it on a roll with an ice crème scooper. Boom!

Smokey Bones? I'm assuming they have those in Nevada.
