    Breakfast: Stage Deli at Caesar’s Palace
    Lunch: Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay
    Dinner: Prime at Bellagio with a view of the fountains if you want to get laid
    Dinner: Top of the World at the Stratosphere if you don't

    I recommend staying away from the restaurant in the Eifel Tower it is crowded and noisy.

    YES!!! second Rio. And also, if you like authentic Chinese food as if you are in Hong Kong, this is the place. Their Chinese chefs come all the way from the Kingdom.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    go to the Star Trek part and go to Quirks Bar. Order the Captain's Steak. Like above to die for . Also get a Warp Core Breach.

    There is a hole-in-the-wall I eat at many years back, but it's on the strip (not sure if it's still there). I thought it was great food (basically, slop on a plate). But it was really good "home cooked" type food. I don't remember the name, but I can try to find it if you like that kind of thing (it's a place my cousin showed me).

    That seafood buffet at the Rio is amazing. If you go make sure to take a quick walk through the WSOP area. It is mind-blowing how big that place is.

    It's gone. They closed a year ago. If you enjoy a steak Emeril's Delmonico in the Venetian is THE BEST steak I have ever had.

    I just heard they closed star trek. My brother went and said it was pretty cool. Been meaning to get out there for the last couple of years. Sorry I missed it.

    I went there during the busiest time of year in Vegas and didnt find it to be crowded or noisy. But dont expect to get a dinner for two less than 80 bucks.

    I thought Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville was pretty good and decently cheap. The buffett at Mandalay Bay was also really good.

    Stay away from Emiril's,over priced and the service sucked.You can spend a fortune eating at all the big hotels dinning rooms,One dinner for 4 at Emirils cost more than the 3 day package to get to Vegas.You want good food,cheap?? On the strip is a topas place,great food and you can eat like a king for the price of 2 glasses of wine at Emiril's.
    Cafe Barb-a-reba.....we have one here in chicago but I enjoyed the one in Vegas better.
    Check it out.

    I saw GOOD not CHEAP. You must have had a trainee because when I went I had a TEAM of three who waited on my part of 2 and I waited for nothing. Also, I am a non drinker so I don't factor alcohol into my checks.

    Expensive: Hell Yeah! But I still stand behind the service and food that I received.

    Oh I also remember the Lowry's there is very good too. Sorry steak houses I know but man I am a CARNIVORE!

    BTW Tony I ate at Miller's Pub in Chicago when I was there in Dec. It was great. I should have asked where the other great spots were but I did not think I would have time to leave my conference much.

    Thank you guys. I'll start with

    Buffet @Rio
    Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville
    Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba
    Stage Deli @ Caesar’s Palace
    Buffet @ Mandalay Bay

    What do you mean it's gone????NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
    Dude tell me your messing with me. That was one of the best times of my life there. I'm a huge Star Trek fan and I was in awe being there. i got my picture taken on the Bridge of the Enterprise D and sat in Picard's chair. I stood at Warf's post and thought about Dianna being underneath me.

    Man I can't believe this. Where is all that stuff?? I would have purchased some of it if I only knew. Now I gotta go check this out.

    There's some good food and a lot of BAD food in LV. Best I had in 4 1/2 years living there was Del Frisco's, if you don't mind getting off your wallet a bit.

    Well,thats the thing,good food can be had at alot of places,if you don't mind throwing down the coin.But most go to vegas for one thing,to gamble,and we all know how fast your money can leave you doing that.So eat at reasonable places and spend the money on what you came there to do.

    Not putting down Emiril,had a bad experience in Vegas at his place,but the one in New Orleans,top notch.

    Do they still give coupons for free food to people who gamble in the hotels? What I mean is, At the Rio if you spend a certain amount of money gambling there, they would give you a coupon to the buffet. When we ate there in 2000, that paid for half our meals. (IIRC you had to have LOST a certain amount not sure of winnings!)
