A List of places I have eating while being on vacation in Las Vegas.
THE MIRAGE HOTEL & CASINO– (APRIL 2011).– 3400 S Las Vegas Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89109. (PERMANENTLY CLOSED= JULY 17, 2024.)
HERITAGE STEAKHOUSE by Tom Colicchio. = (PERMANENTLY CLOSED= JULY 2024)
I ordered the PRIME NY STRIP Steak 14oz. $65.- Made the rookie mistake of listening to the waiter who suggest I try it cooked Butterfly style. I never had a steak cooked that way. Which means they cut/split the steak down the middle and make it look like a butterfly and then cook it on the grill that way. My steak turned out well done when i asked for Medium Well.
CARNEGIE DELI.= (PERMANENTLY CLOSED= JULY 2024)
24-hours Delicatessen. This place has long line ups and long wait times. I ordered the Roast Beef Sandwich, Instead of the Woody Allen. I couldn’t be bothered to wait in those long line ups, just to get food when in fact your hungry. Too tiime consuming just wait for food, but that’s Vegas on a weekend for you.
RHUMBAR TROPICAL ULTRA LOUNGE. = (PERMANENTLY CLOSED= JULY 2024)
I enjoy a cocktail or beverage on the outdoor patio at this tropical oasis steps from the Las Vegas Strip and take in the ambience on a beautiful spring evening.
TREASURE ISLAND HOTEL & CASINO-( MARCH 2012)– 3300 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas NV, 89109.
SENOR FROG’S -MEXICAN RESTAURANT & FIESTA. = (PERMANENTLY CLOSED= DEC 31, 2024)
Thursday night Bikini contest, place was packed because of the contest compared to every other day of the weekday. The highlight of the night was the winner of the contest.
CAESAR’S PALACE HOTEL & CASINO- (AUG 2015) – 3570 Las Vegas Blvd S. Las Vegas NV, 89109.
Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill. -Authentic English /Elevated British Pub Food. (JAN 2013)
LOCATION: Inside Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino.
I ordered the grilled pub burger, wait staff was very attentive to my table. Meal was up to pub standards. no complaints.
Hells Kitchen Gordon Ramsay– American Cuisine.– (AUG 2018)
LOCATED: Outside at the front of Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino by the strip.
Walked in once it opened for lunch and sat at the bar. The waitstaff/bartenders, staff are all welcoming, attentive, and interact with customers. I ordered some signature dishes made with the highest quality ingredients which reflects the price. Fully aware of what Im getting in terms of portion sizes and the cost of food etc. Its a world famous celebrity chefs restaurant. Expensive, what i expected.
My order:
Pan seared scallops- butternut squash, crispy prosciutto, brussels sprouts, truffle jus $30.95.
Lobster Risotto- butter poached lobster tail, truffle risotto crispy onions. $33.95.
JOE’S STONE CRAB- American surf ‘n ‘ turf restaurant serving upmarket fare & Cocktails in a lavish space. (MARCH 2011)
LOCATED: 3500 Las Vegas Blvd S.= In The Forum Shops at Caesars.
I never ordered the Florida Stone Crab which is what they are famous for. Which was my mistake went with a steak. This place just didn’t impress me much. Average with no complaints.
THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY RESTAURANT- in The Forum Shops at Caesars. (APRIL 2011)
We stopped by for a slice of Cheese Cake and sat at the bar, I ordered the New York style cheesecake and washed it down with a tall glass of milk. Standard cheesecake quality.
COSMOPOLITAN HOTEL & CASINO- 3708 Las Vegas Blvd S. Las Vegas NV, 89109.
ESTIATORIO MILOS- Greek Mediterranean Restaurant. (2012)
We ordered the fried Calamari appetizer and octopus and was just disappointed from the get go. Calamari was rubbery and looked like something they serve at your local pub and grill. Myself being from the Mediterranean made it worse. Disappointed with the stardards of the quality of the food that was served to us. Sub par.
NEW YORK- NEW YORK HOTEL & CASINO- – 3790 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas NV, 89109.
NYNY FOOD HALL/ VILLAGE STREET EATERIES- SIRRICO’S PIZZA/NEW YORK PIZZERIA – American Cuisine. (2011 & 2014)
Reluctantly have been here a couple of times to try their New York Style Pizza Slice. (which is basically a thin crusted pizza slice/ pizza) A pizza slice is a pizza slice and over priced for a slice. Enough said.
MGM GRAND HOTEL & CASINO – 3799 S Las Vegas Blvd. Las Vegas NV, 89109.
MORIMOTO LAS VEGAS- Japanese Cuisine. (AUG 2018)
Staff/hostess is welcoming, friendly, upbeat happy to be there and was escorted to my table. I sat down and decided to go with the MORIMOTO SPECIALTY ROLLS, went with the Salmon Jalapeño roll yamagobo, spicy mayo, ginger aioli, chives. I also tried the California Roll- Snow Crab, Cucumber, Avacado.
Expensive lunch at the same time Im eating at a world famous celebrity Chefs Restaurant so the portion sizes compared to the cost of meal is what i expected and didn’t come as a surprise or shock once the bill came.
TROPICANA HOTEL & CASINO – 3801 Las Vegas S Blvd. Las Vegas NV, 89109. (PERMANENTLY CLOSED= APRIL 2, 2024) (HOTEL IMPLODED= OCT 9, 2024.)
PUBLIC HOUSE by Robert Irvine- American Cuisine. (AUG 2018)
(PERMANENTLY CLOSED)= APRIL 2024)
Recognized the Chef’s name from Food Networks show “Restaurant Impossible”. Walked in sat down and ordered the F & K Fondue Burger at $18.00. Up to pub standards, no complaints.
PARIS HOTEL & CASINO -(OCT 2014)- 3655 S Las Vegas Blvd. Las Vegas NV, 89109.
STEAK by Gordon Ramsay -Steakhouse. (APRIL 2011, OCT 2014, AUG 2018)
I’ve been to this posh steakhouse, 3 separate times on 3 separate visits when travelling to Las Vegas. My own personal experience here was the level of personalized dinning service i experienced was second to none. In addition to having a stuffed meal, literally no room for desert.
2nd visit sat at the bar and watched the NFL San Fransisco 49ers game on TV as I tried the Hells Kitchen Limited Edition Tasting Menu at $145.00 per person. Basically your “tasting” a portion of each of the foods on the menu. a tasting menu is a set portion size of all your courses. For example instead of the whole Beef Wellington you are given a 1/4 of it eat “taste” etc.
3rd time a charm and the same level of standards as my first visit as i sat at a table this time.
Le Village Buffet– French Setting Buffet Restaurant = (PERMANENTLY CLOSED= 2023)
The Buffet opens at 11am, was hungry and was never able to curb my appetite from any of the foods available at the buffet at a price of $30.99. Not worth it. Need more variety of food items.
The BEER PARK (Rooftop Restaurant)- American Restaurant. (AUG 2018)
I really enjoy the view overlooking the strip on this nice outdoor patio on a clear spring/summer or fall day. Im a big fan of rooftop patio’s or restaurants weather indoors or outdoor settings getting a great view from above a city. One thing to day is to watch out for the tourist tax that is added onto your bill. You can ask to have it removed as suggested by a vegas YouTuber.
PLANET HOLLYWOOD HOTEL & CASINO– 3667 Las Vegas Blvd S. Las Vegas NV, 89109.
YOLO(You Only Live Once) MEXICAN GRILL- Mexican Restaurant. -(OCT 2014)
If you like Tequilas, there are over 60 different types to choose from to sip from at this place. Or if you prefer a Margarita the choice is yours. My dinner was average. no complaints
EARL OF SANDWHICH – American Restaurant.–( OCT 2024)
This is my go to place in Las Vegas if i get disappointed in my fine dinning food selection or choose the wrong buffet experience. Open 24hrs. A nice HOT sandwich hits the spot, after a late night of partying it up at the bar or nightclub. A heads up the lines up can get pretty long certain times of the day so be prepared to wait in line for that hot sandwich.
BURGER – by Gordon Ramsay.- American Restaurant.– (JAN 2013)
Walking down the strip late at night stopped by BURGER and ordered the Hells Kitchen Burger. Normal Up to burger standards.
THE VENETIAN HOTEL & CASINO RESORT -(AUG 2018)- 3355 S Las Vegas Blvd. Las Vegas NV, 89109.
BUDDY V’S RISTORANTE – ITALIAN CUISINE– (AUG 2018)
LOCATED: Grand Canal Shops.
It took me a while to find the place as i got lost its such a HUGE property. Took a window seat over looking Las Vegas Blvd. I ordered the, Chicken Parm, oven-baked, fresh mozzarella, spaghetti marinara. $34.00. This is comfort food at its very best. very filling no complaints.
CARLOS BAKERY- Italian Desserts.–(AUG 2018)
LOCATED: Grand Canale Shops. (right across the entrance from Buddy V’s Ristorante)
It’s literally steps away from his restaurant entrance. Picked up a couple of cupcakes and couple of slice of cake for dessert for today and the next day. Ate them back at my hotel room and muffins were moist as was the slices of cakes i bought. No complaints.
THE WYNN HOTEL & CASINO RESORT – 3131 Las Vegas S Blvd. Las Vegas NV, 89109.
The Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas- Buffet Restaurant. – (JAN 2013)
The day we went the Cost is $59.99. I would say this is the best Buffet on the Las Vegas strip. 16 food kitchens, 120 different dishes, 2hrs limitless eats. Tired to eat a variety of items i saw and liked while there. The Buffett offers an Endless Pour Package limitless cocktails and beers and wines at $32.99.
