Restaruant Recommendation for Vegas

[Vettezuki]

Going to Vegas tomorrow on business. A friend of mine who's a foody recommended:

L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon
Bouchon by Thomas Keller

But I get the feeling these aren't exactly inexpensive places . . .

Looking for moderate price. Say around $25/entree.

Prime is hands down the best restaurant in vegas, #2 on zagat and #1 in my heart. Expect about a $170 bill if you're not drinking. It sucks but good luck finding a sit down restaurant in vegas for that money, they're all sorta over priced. You either pay a little more and get a dining experience( like the patios at prime or top of the world) or you over pay cause of its location.

Yama sushi is a great AYCE joint off strip about 2 miles down flamingo. $20 a person.

Buffet of buffets is good $44 per person for a 24 hour pass to 6 different buffets, sprice market is the best(even better then caesars IMO) ask to be seated with javier, 5 star restaurant server you'll be pleased to actually tip.

Olives at bellagio is a moderatly priced place i guess. All the spots at the cosmo are good. Luxor steak house is pretty decent for a lower priced option.

My opinion is eat at prime and ask for patio seating and make sure you get it. The view of the fountains while eating is a must see and best carpacio and filet mignon i've ever eaten and the wait staff is always perfect.

Thanks! Now I have lots of options.

I asked my pal and the French places are about $50 per head without drinking. Keller is the only American to ever receive multiple 3 Michelin star awards for different restaurants. While this isn't one of them, at $50, sounds pretty reasonable.

Buy a lunchable and take it to a strip club.

Thats about what you're looking at for prime. I cant stress enough how much you should eat there. 10oz filet is $58, truffled mash potatoes are amazing, with shredded truffles. Carpacio is superb as well, $24 for that. The seared ahi tune was great too.

Damn just talking about it makes me want to do a trip just for the restaurant.

Don't they prefer money?

Everything was booked. I'm at The Wicked Spoon inside cosmo.

Sorry to hear that, that place blows.

It was fine, just nothing special. I've certainly had far worse buffets!

[Shaolin Crane]

I think for the price it should be better. Not what everyone is raving about, should have let me know. I could have have got you a reservation at Prime.

Yeah, $35 buffet is up there, but was technically the best buffet I've had. But I've eaten better for $35.

I'll keep it in mind. I'm here on business $55/head is sort of the max.

[Shaolin Crane]

Thats totally doable at Prime filet costs are $48/$58, might tip the scale a bit but its totally worth it.

Last time I went, we did the buffet in Paris. I thought it was pretty good. Plenty of different cuts of beef, all kinds of different cheeses, crab legs, awesome desserts, etc. It's pretty reasonable at about $24 a head. You can also do an all you can drink for $11 I think, That's booze. :). It's part of the buffet of buffets. Guy will say it sucked, but I thought it was pretty decent.

There is 2 buffets at paris. One is a part of it, the other is not.

Buffet of Asia is good, its off the strip though.

Heading out of Vegas there was a billboard for a new restaurant.

Tao
Asian Bistro Cafe
Always a Happy Ending

Gotta love Vegas for their subtlety.

[Shaolin Crane]

Tao is not a new restaurant. Tao is not a very good restaurant, since its really a club and they try to attract people with the restaurant so people will go to the club you'll easily pay 3x what you should. It is a very nice club though.
