It's not very foo-foo, but Earl of Sandwich in Planet Hollywood never disappoints and is just the right amount of food to balance me the next day after a night of drinking.

Canters at TI is pretty good. Get a big ol' sammich. Not sure if it'll be under $20 though. The Hofbrauhaus is pretty kick ass. German restaurant across the street from the Hard Rock. Eat some Snitzel, grab your beer stine, stand on the tables, swing your stine back and forth, and sing your heart out. "Who the F*** is Alice!!!"

I will second Margaritaville, great burger I got and if your drinking just get the tall tube of Margarita if for nothing else so that ppl know your there to party haha :D

Also, if your out towards Mandalay Bay, we really liked Red, White and Blue as well as Burger Bar and Border Grille which is over near the Mandalay Aquarium and has an outdoor deck that overlooks the pool, really nice!

I love Hofbrauhaus! It's so fun...I'm not big into German food but the beer is great-and huge, I needed two hands for it! I went one time when they had music (only at night) and it was awesome...standing on the table singing and dancing. The last time we went for lunch, but there was no music, so I'd def only go at night.

Ha, yea, I was there for my bachelor party....great times for a large obnoxious party of 12 guys. I would highly recommend it along with the Mexican joint at NYNY (Gonzales y Gonazles). Get the chimchangas as they are fantastic.

Luckys at Hard Rock? Planet Hollywood Cafe? Eh? Eh?

Cafe Habana(Elizabeth and Prince): Excellent cuban food, always busy, but worth the weight, average entree ~12-13
Yum Yum Bangkok III(46th and 9th): Prix Fixe menu thai food for both lunch and dinner(8/lunch, 15/dinner), high quality
Sushi Lounge(8th and A): Excellent sushi at low prices
French Roast(86th and Bway, or 11th and 6th): Reasonable quality faux-french food, open 24 hours, most expensive entree is 22, most run about 15-17(for dinner) or 7-12(for lunch/overnight)

Now for across the river:
Planet Thai(North 7th b/w Bedford and Berry, Brooklyn): Excellent thai/asian restaurant that also does hibachi on weekends. Most entrees run from 12-15/plate...

Any of these places you can go to without a reservation and most likely be out in under an hour as well...

Thoughts? Isn't technically breaking any rules and we probably won't see him often. What does the jury say we do with these kind of posts? Infract and delete posts? Leave em up and ignore? Ban? Up to you guys!

Food was equal to a burger joint. Not high in quality, but eatable. Large portions. I had a chief salad. It looked home made, nothing special. Stay away from the chips and dip. It was caned queso.

If you want a decent/filling meal then head to this place! Right behind the flamingo...this place gives out free wine with dinner, prices are cheap and the quantity is above average! No fluff with this place....Your not going to run into any skeezers you want to hang out with for the night, but it will fill your belly for a minimal price! If not, then you can sleep with the fishes!

Ok, now that makes sense. I always try to have Tom Horton's whenever i'm in Canada.

AKBoarder
06-27-2009, 07:52 PM
Mojo, that makes a bit more sense, if PF Changs wasn't a US chain I'd probably feel differently.

Still, with so many unique choices in Vegas it'd still be hard to choose it over a lot of the other spots!

I wish there was one in Canada, not only is there not one, there isnt even one close to the Buffalo border.. They said they have no plans to open one here..

I was going to post this, and then realized you gave me the idea to go there lol. Well +1 more for Mon Ami Gabi, my wife and I loved it.

Though it should be noted for this thread - dinner will be over $20/person. But most lunch and breakfast dishes are like $13

One of the best late night breakfast deals in town that I've found is upstairs at Terrible's Casino (I know Terrible's isn't the most glamorous casino but it's clean enough to sit down and eat and usually very quick) I think it's after 2am to 8am there's like $2.99 breakfast specials and they don't suck the food is actually pretty good.

I've only eaten at Japonais at Mirage, but it's not going to be a meal for under $20. I like the atmosphere, and the sashimi was really good though the sushi rolls I had were a bit lacking.

I've eaten at a good amount of the restaurants there. Japonais? Eh, nothing spectacular aside from the setting. I wanted to do kokomo's since it seemed highly trafficked, but never found the time [plus I'm not that much of a foodie]. Not sure about FIN, Onda, kokomo's, or Samba..

The places that would fit the topic of this thread: BLT Burger? Ok. Carnegie Delicatessen? Decent sandwich, though Earl of Sandwich's better and cheaper. California Pizza Kitchen? Typical. Their lower tier places are serviceable for a quick bite.

speaking of mgm mirage... i noticed that the mirage has four of their 'fine dining' establishments offering $29 prixe fixe menus for the summer. mgm grand has quite a few summer menu specials as well. it seems like a few of the casinos are putting out offers like this. they must be feeling the crunch from the economy on their restaurants moreso than their cashcows (gambling and drinking).
