blonde poker forum

Hi all,

Just off to Vegas for a week, just wondered if anyone had any favourites/recommended restaurants to go to while we're there.   My favourite so far has been Fiamma Trattoria - an Italian in the MGM, I also really liked the Indian in the Rio last summer.

Off strip I know, but the Chinese in the Orleans is well worth a look

If you want a buffet the one at the bellagio is the best by far. There is a whole array in the venetian most of which are far too expensive. The Grand Cafe there is as good as any of them, far cheaper, less poncy and one of my favourites.

If you get the chance go to Nero's in Ceasars Palace, I've never had finer food anywhere in the world, absolutey top drawer.

The revolving restaurant at the top of the Stratosphere is 1st class, not cheap and book in advance. Well worth it though.

For good Asian food and dim sum, at a reasonable price, go to Noodles at the Bellagio.

;iagree; Went with family in 2005 had a very special meal, food excellent, you must book though or you will turn up and be disappointed! VIP lift is a nice touch as well. Oh and if you want to do the rides, do them first as "Insanity" isn't one to be ridden with a full stomach!

Also can't be missed is a Breakfast at "Barbary Coast", great venue to end an evening / morning of poker. Its somewhat amazing to have to queue at 04:00am though but well worth it!

One of my favourites though is the Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas! Its an exact replica of the famous restaurant in Munich. At least you can get a decent beer, more details at http://www.hofbrauhauslasvegas.com/home/index.php

Have a great time !

I like Gallagher's Steakhouse in NY/NY, they have some excellent seafood dishes as well as tasty steaks, you can see the steaks hanging in their dry aging cabinate out side the restaurant. Pearl is a good Chinese it is located in the MGM Grand.

Chinese Grill in Mandalay Bay was awesome, also had the tastiest steak ever in the Luxor's Steakhouse.

Steak in Circus Circus ... best i have ever had .... and I have had plenty ;)

My favorite place is Hugos in the basement of the Four Queens!!!!!!
Its the best, fun place, just one of those out of the way places, and the fact its downtown is a bonus, I love going downtown for a night of drinking and poker.

If u want to spend alot of money go to Michaels at the Barbary coast, not cheap, very good

I had a very enjoyable meal at n9ne steakhouse in palms. great food and a nice atmosphere. www.n9negroup.com

For lunch or an informal tea the grand lux cafe in the venitian is superb, already mentioned in an above post. great salads. great service. www.grandluxcafe.com

It would appear it's difficult to have a bad steak in Vegas...

(my 'great Vegas steak' was in the steakhouse at the Rio)

       Hugo's cellar at the 4 Queens and Ruth Chris' steak house on Paradise. Also Steffano's in the Golden Nugget. Enjoy.

Steakhouse Bellagio!

may be good.... but..... do u know any out of the way, off the regular road type pf places??????  just asking??

shhhhhhhh who authorised you to release this secret.

shit , u r right, i think DC had me sign a contract not to tell anyone else before he took me there ;scarymoment;

The spinning up of the left over cash was the best part of that meal....

;iagree;

was desperatley trying to remember the name--- best meal, service etc that i had in vegas- and there was some serious competition..

'The second street grill' downtown is very good.

hugo's cellar - excellent.

Tiger llilys - mandalay bay - very good chinese

the microbrewery at montecarlo for the hottest spicy chicken wings I have ever experienced, washed down with a 3 litre beer.

commanders palace in the alladin - expensive but very impressive cajun cuisine - you can do  the food tasting menu there which is good (have to be v hungry)

Also the pink taco at the hard rock has a good atmosophere and good mexican

Koji at the Orleans.

Vic & Anthony's @ the Golden Nugget
Buzio @ The Rio
Gay lord @ The Rio
Little Budda @ Palms


Regards

Buzio is very good, and its right there at the Rio, easy WSOP stop

Top of the World @ The Strat
Ruth Chris's Steak House
Rao's @ Caesars

I also liked Lowry's (or summat like that) which is just off the Strip for their Roast beef and Yorkshire puds.

Best restaurant in Vegas is probably Alex at the Wynn.

Although if you dont like formal surroundings and prefer a more upbeat atmosphere then N9ne at the Palms is excellent.

and i u go to a mcdonalds in  las vegas and u get a kids meal it comes w/ a free LOTTO tcket, gotta start then young

Also in the Stratosphere is a good Italian restaurant tucked away in the corner.
The restaurant above the Voodoo lounge at the Rio is 1st class also ,although not cheap
There is a good restaurant in the Golden Nugget ( by the registration desk) although the name escapes me

I was unable to find a bad restaurant when I was there.  You are really spoilt for choice in all styles of food.

anyone tried the  LV version of  smith +wollensky??   

had my best ever meal in  NYC there.

As long as you don't mind loud, and I do mean loud music playing while you eat....
