The creators of the "ultimate bacon wrapped hot dog," otherwise known as “The Official Hot Dog of Los Angeles,” have made the leap from the southwestern suburbs to the Strip.

Dirt Dog has quietly begun serving from its small kiosk storefront at the Grand Bazaar Shops, in the southernmost promenade of the outdoor mall, a short distance from Wahlburgers.

Taking over the shuttered Jimmy’s Seaside Fries, Dirt Dog is working in close relationship with next door neighbor Sin City Brewing and is encouraging guests to buy a beer and have the hot dogs brought to their seats.

Much smaller in size than the original Las Vegas home that debuted just over a year ago at the Rainbow-Shelbourne Plaza, Dirt Dog also shrunk the menu, but diners should begin by sampling its namesake creation, made with "100% premium all beef Nathan's 5/1 dog, wrapped in center cut bacon, topped with grilled onions & red and green bell peppers."
