Apparently at the Las Vegas location you can't get fish and chips without a soda, but you can get battered sausage, which you can't at Orlando.

It's more like "in Vegas we charge you $3 more for the basic F&C combo, but at least we'll through in a soda with that...hope you like Pepsi, because you can't get Coke in any restaurant on the Vegas Strip!" (I know, I've tried!). If you want a different drink, like a craft lemonade, you'll pay extra.

100% true. Las Vegas has Fish, Chicken, Shrimp, Lobster, and Sausage. Orlando has all of that except the Sausage.

Last year, for a limited time, Orlando had a mini-Wellie (Beef Wellington) available, but it was met with various levels of praise and criticism.

The "GR Fish & Chips" station at the Gordon Ramsay Food Market (food court) at the Harrah's Cherokee Casino in Cherokee, North Carolina (in the Smoky Mountains) also limits you to fish, chicken, shrimp, and lobster, per their menu.

Someone's going to have to say what the new F&C there in DC offers! :)

u/FreshYoungBalkiB - well, the DC menu is up, and it looks like it's just fish, chicken, and shrimp for now.

NO sausage! And NO lobster! 😱

And the basic Fish & Chips combo that's $14.99 (add $3.49 for a soft drink) in Orlando and $17.99 (price includes a fountain drink) in Vegas is costing $16.99 (add $3.99 for a soft drink) in DC! But that's still cheaper than the $18.50 (add $3 for a soft drink) they charge in Cherokee, I guess.

Strange how the coastal cities of Washington DC and Orlando (and Cherokee, which is in a coastal state) end up costing you more for fish than does the desert city of extravagance, Las Vegas! And why no lobster in DC?!?!?

Expensive rent, high taxes, high labor costs, I guess.

I bet if they opened a branch in BFE North Dakota, they could sell the meals for $9.99.
