Hey everyone, I'm going to Vegas next week for the first time and being a foodie, I want to know what are the best places to eat from the high end to the best value (after I lose all my money gambling LOL).

Tools · 15 July 2009, 01:31 AM

You're not going to have any problems finding good places to eat........

Your problem is going to be deciding where and what type of food you want each night.

that, and every major hotel has a buffet that you couldn't possibly sample all of, without going back several days..

allanofcalifornia · 15 July 2009, 01:31 AM

I love the buffets in Vegas!

Allan

allanofcalifornia · 15 July 2009, 01:33 AM

The most important question is where are you going to spend all your money and on what?

On the strip dining:

-Bellagio Buffet - classy food with exotic flair, must try!
-Rio Buffet - HUGE buffet, food from all cuisines!
-Planet Hollywood Buffet - Good overall selection
-Wynn Buffet - classy food, small selections
-Smith & Wollensky - delicious steaks (not as good as Morton's)
-Daniel Boulud @ Wynn - French flair, be sure to sit out side so you can enjoy the air and the water shows.
-Stratta @ Wynn - Delicious Italian food, one of my favorite spots to dine!

Off the strip dining:

-Morton's - enough said

Enjoy!

SW Steakhouse at the Wynn. Like the previous post sit outside to enjoy the waterfall.

Try the beef Carpaccio at Olive in the Bellagio. It's incredible, especially if you get a seat outside to watch the fountains.

Yume-sama · 15 July 2009, 03:15 AM

Wynn Buffet! Wynn Buffet! Wynn Buffet!

Pretty much anything at the Wynn is the best... but especially the "deluxe buffet" at the Wynn, Fridays and Saturdays.

Sunday is the champagne buffet, and Monday - Thursday is the normal buffet... which is still good.

Sadly I know their schedule off to the top of my head.

sushisummo · 15 July 2009, 03:51 AM

My recommendation for best Steak House:

1) Del Frisco (not in a hotel - off the strip)
2) Craftsteak at MGM Grand Hotel
3) Prime Steakhouse at Bellagio Hotel
4) Envy Steakhouse at Renassaunse Hotel
5) Nine Steakhouse at the Palm Hotel

Best Janpanese-fushion restaurant is NOBU at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Best Seafood Buffet is Le Village Seafood Buffet at the Rio Hotel. (Carefull as there is two buffet at the Rio Hotel. Make sure you ask for the seafood buffet)

GerardoG · 15 July 2009, 05:56 AM

Lawry's for Prime Rib. Morton's for steaks. Aurole/Mandalay Bay for impressive wine cellar. Capital Grille for fantastic service (@ Fashion Show Mall, in front of Wynn). Canaletto at Venetian for impressive italian.

vandehat · 15 July 2009, 06:06 AM

Tao in the Venetian is a must see.
Jasmine at the Bellagio
Craftsteak at the MGM if your into single malt scotch!

musert · 15 July 2009, 06:14 AM

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I have a lot of choices to choose. I cannot wait!

Don't forget the Celebrity Chefs who have their restaurants in Vegas too such as Emeril and Wolfgang Puck......

Here's a link to some of those:

Then there's Barbecue like Memphis Pit, Lucille's, and Famous Dave's, to name only a few..............

You better plan a second trip if you want to hit all the good restaurants in town....

allanofcalifornia · 15 July 2009, 07:15 AM

Hope you have a wonderful time and don't forget the most important thing, you MUST take pictures of all activities and post them to TRF when you get back!!

erwin · 15 July 2009, 08:32 AM

Buffet in Paris Casino is the best!

HYDROMAROC · 15 July 2009, 08:53 AM

The brazillian steak buffet... It is located in the miracle mile at the Planet Hollywood on the strip. It is not cheep but it is good!!!

I'm tentatively in for Aug 14-16. I have some chips that need to be put to good use.

metal man · 18 July 2009, 01:08 AM

Vegas bound in the morning. If you need something to make Momma happy go the Eifel Tower @ Paris, great food ( make sure they get you the cheese puffs) and overlooks the water show at Bellagio. little $$$$ but well worth it.
Best roasted chicken I've ever had and the Fillet is slamin.

bodybump · 15 July 2009, 11:11 AM

Rio for the best and only Seafood Buffet
Bellagio for the best gourmet buffet in the strip...Seabass and Rack of Lamb for a buffet?? Oh boy try to beat that!!!

The Wynn can and does!

Though I agree there are a lot of good buffets in Vegas.

I could gain 60 pounds if I was put there for a month.

swissautopro · 15 July 2009, 08:29 PM

Emeril's Delmonico in the Venetian (I think).

rsg · 16 July 2009, 12:28 AM

Bouchon at the Venetian, best trout almondine and braised short ribs I've ever had.

sea-dweller · 16 July 2009, 02:04 AM

For an off strip dining experience (very close to the Stratosphere Hotel), I love The Golden Steer Steakhouse, since 1958. Celebrities such as Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr dined here and there are tables named after them -

308 W Sahara, Las Vegas, NV 89102 (702) 384-4470

Kenith · 16 July 2009, 04:13 AM

Hugo's Cellar at the Four Queens Casino in downtown Vegas is a no brainer. Make sure to get the table side salad as it is one of a kind.

I'm headed up there sometime towards the middle of next week. It would be neat to meet some folks from here in person put a face with the names.
