Best places to Eat in Vegas - Not Football Related - So What?

Transfer to Barber Shop.
But, if we are on the subject: best place is whatever the snack bar in the airport serves. Vegas, any more, to me, is just an airport hub. Fly in cheap. Get your rental car, then head out to: Death Valley.....or up Zion Bryce....or over to Sedona....or down to Havasu or over to Mojave National Preserve.
And by the way: Wayne Newton concert has been THE very WORST concert I have ever seen in my life.

Best Places to eat in Vegas
Steaks :
Budget - Ellis island Casino & Brewery behind Ballys. $8 steak dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans. $1.50 beers
Premium - Cornerstone bar in the Gold Coast
Buffets :
Wynn - top notch with everything
Aria - Best buffet on the strip I think Crab legs are amazing, red velvet pancakes with nutella, and anything you can imagine
Rio is solid, and Mandalay bay is the WORST
Hamburger - Heart attack grill on fremont street. Who doesn't love nurses, midgets, and giant burgers? Plus if you're over 350lbs you eat for free
Best (New) restaurant - Jaburritos Sushi Burrito over by The Linq. Sushi burritos are awesome and they taste amazing here.
Best place to stay - 1.) Aria, 2.) Wynn 3.) Cosmopolitan
Best budget casinos - 1.) The Orleans 2.) El Cortez 3.) Excalibur
-
For steaks - in no particular order ------Bardot, Tom Colichio's, Gallagher's, Mon Ami Gabi
Buffet - Caesars, by far
Hamburger - Sammy's Burgers and Pastrami on Decatur (#1) - Gordon Ramsay's Burgr, Emeril's Sportsbar
Hot Dog - The D
I am headed there on Monday. Decided to see Wayne Newton. He and Donnie/Marie are really the last remaining acts from the heyday (Not Who Dey) of Vegas. My Mom was a big fan, it will be like a trip back in time.
Oh yeah............... if you can see only one show in Paradise, see Absinthe.............cussing,bawdy humor and phenomenal daredevil acts, right at arms reach.
I will send you some pictures from the desert.

With the wife or not? Have you been in the New T-Mobile arena yet Ghoolie? It's awesome.
With the wife Zumanity wouldn't be bad.
By yourself, Fantasy in Luxor is legit.
KA is horrible.
Haven't seen Absinthe.
Also, do you gamble? What's your game of choice and where?
You should bet a Josh Gordon prop bet.

Best Casino...dinner I have had in Nevada wasn't in Vegas....it was up in Stateline, by Lake Tahoe. The Lakeside Inn resort and Casino.
Great Prime Rib.

By mysef. Speaking at a conference, and then visiting a couple custpomers. Mostly play time though.

Yes, and I agree, It is beautiful, It was a spectactular addition.

We have seen all the Cirqe Shows. Michael Jackson and THe Beatles were garbage.
By yourself, Fantasy in Luxor is legit.
Saw it with the wife. T&A Maximus. PH has a lesbian Zombie show............. pretty hot.
KA is horrible.
Better than The Beatles and Michael Jackson, but it also is not their best effort.
Haven't seen Absinthe.
If you get a chance, do so. If you can swing 1st or 2nd row tickets, do that too. The show is performed in a tent, on maybe an 18 x 18 area. Very, good acrobats, very vintage bawdy stuff.
Also, do you gamble? What's your game of choice and where?
Slots. $5, $10, $25, $100. Oddly enough, our success comes mostly in nearby Tunica, MS. Horsehoe is a Caesars property, and Gold Strike. Las Vegas is tighter than a nun's count for slots. If you play the higher denominations, the Strip pays higher than Downtown. If you play $ 0.50 and smaller, Downtown has better odds. If you play $1 slots, there is no difference. Of the places I do play in Vegas, Caesars is more likely to pay smaller hand pays, but more often ($ 4,000 or smaller). Bally's is the best if you want to build your tier score and lose your money over time, slowly. High Roller at Madalay Bay has been decent to us.
Since Caesars began their bankruptcy stuff it seems tougher, and if Caesars tightened up, so did MGM since it made no sense to be generous when the other guy was struggling. My bet is this will be a good trip. Based on Trump knocking the economic ball out of the park, travel to Vegas has picked up, even considering the shooting.
You should bet a Josh Gordon prop bet.
I usually don't bet on Sports, but I did put a $1,000 on the Browns to win less than 4.5 I would need to be there next Sunday to collect, but I will cash in, in February when I go back.

Best Restaurant.... For our money.. Hugo's Cellar---Four Queens.
It is indeed a wonderful place. Let's be honest, everyone has favorites, and it is pretty hard to get bad food on the strip or Freemont.
As far as Steaks go, however, Bardot, Tom Collichio's, (Craft at MGM) Mon Ami Gabi and Gallagher's are above the rest. I had a $425 Waygu NY Strip at Collichio's, I don't know that it was that much better than a regular aged NY Strip, but it really was the tits.
-
Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill is pretty solid if you get a chance to go there. He’s got a hell of a burger.
-
Oh you always have to visit the dessert line pics always nice! Have fun in Lost Wages.....you do gamble, right?

I do, but as I said in another post, the wife and I build our tier score mostly in near by Tunica, MS. We routinely make 7 Star w Caesars, and Platinum with MGM. Man, Vegas is really tight for slot play.

FatBurger beats In-and-Out for a fast food burger. HOWEVER..............there is no Burger in Vegas that tops Sammy's Burgers and Pastrami. It is a local hangout. A walk up/drive through that cooks to order. Get a bacon Cheesburger and Parmesan fries. You won't eat a burger in Vegas anywhere else.

Have you heard of/been to heart attack grill on fremont?

I play poker, blackjack, and high roller slots. I've hit $1195 on wheel of fortune $5 machines in the orleans. $10 max bet. That's my favorite machine in vegas. I hear they have a $100 wheel of fortune machine at the cosmopolitan. What are some of your favorite high roller slots? I'm sure you've probably tried wheel of fortune. All you need is one spin to win some serious cash.

WTF is "KA" ?
Regardless....nothing is better than the Beatles.

Fatburger sucks. They had a few in Cleveland and they all closed due to no business. In and out by far the best fast food burger, followed by 5 guys.

Check your betting slip because some have a time limit on how long you can keep it before cashing. Sometimes it's like 60 days. If you're not sure, then check with the place where you made the bet to see if they have a time limit on collecting.

I almost got caught on that one. I had placed a bet during the summer for an upcoming game the first college weekend which occurred more that 60 days from when I made the bet. I sent it back after they had declined to honor it with a note that the game was played AFTER their time limit from the time I made the bet at their establishment and that if that was how they treated it, then they should not have had it up on the board. They realized that someone had screwed up by not seeing that I had gotten it in before their time limit which should have been from the day the game was played, not the day I made the bet.

Always some BS. I think at 0 - 12 they should pay my bet of "Less than 4.5 wins" since there is no way I can lose. However, if I am Caesars I am not going to pay the bet until the season is over. Interest on money....4 more weeks means interest on my money before they pay me. I imagine the odds on betting the Browns win 1 out of their remaining 4 will not be much more than even money. However, I bet the odds for betting the Browns to get 2 wins are pretty sky high.
I really think if the Steelers clinch early, the browns will be playing their third string bench, and have a crazy, overlooked chance to win.
We will see. It is hard for me to watch this poor bunch of guys play. It's really bad.

It is a Cirque show that plays at MGM in Vegas. The Beatles and Michael Jackson Cirque shows blow goat caulk. KA is better, it is a very big, ominous looking show featuring some big machines. Two years ago a poor young girl lost her life on stage when she accidentally slid down a very tall climbing wall of war due to not having her safety cable attached. In the old days I think the show would have gone dark for a year (No show, but the headline stays up - That's what they did when Roy got chomped on by Monecore). I was surprised that they just churned on..............but I guess there is a big difference between a star being injured versus a replaceable acrobat, eh?
I have secured an audition for a new Cirque show that will be released in the next 2 years........(as a multi-instrumentalist in the band........not as an acrobat, lol) It would be a dream retirement job for me. I hear however that for the young performers, the shows offer very little in the way of benefits and job security. That's why I persued science and not music as a career.
