Steampunk is chugging into Vegas with the introduction of Rick Moonen's Rx Boiler Room, a restaurant and lounge in Mandalay Bay with 19th-century Victorian decor that seems like it's fused together with modern touches by some awesome mad scientist who drinks a lot -- think chalkboard paint walls, crest-inlaid concrete floors, ornate chandeliers, and gear boxes everywhere -- and features a menu that promises to combine "the alchemy of food & drink", which is less scary than it sounds, and basically means breakthroughs like an inside-out grilled cheese and bacon-wrapped bacon.

These ladies will be serving you equally interesting cocktails like the Some Like it Hot, which mixes gin, blood orange liqueur, and habañero shrub bitters with Sierra Nevada.

Turn-of-the-century Mickey D's has nothing on these chicken pot pie nuggets.

Rx Boiler Room -- bacon wrapped bacon

So yeah, this is a sandwich sporting bacon-wrapped bacon. Jules Verne just rolled over in his grave, so he could more easily eat this. Go steampunk!
