Restaurant recommendations?

Hi, we are going to Vegas next month with another couple. We both live in a small town, so don%26#39;t have much for dining here. I don%26#39;t want to spend an outrageous amount...but would like a nice atmosphere and good food. We are staying at Harrah%26#39;s. Suggestions?





Thanks



Restaurant recommendations?


The Range Steakhouse at Harrahs with a strip view %26amp; the steaks are excellent as well as the service.



Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Pairs, excellent food, superior service, spectacular view of the strip %26amp; Bellagio fountains.



Toby Keith Bar %26amp; Grill at Harrah%26#39;s



Margaritaville at Flamingo



Mesa Grill at Caesars with the southwest flavor



Nero%26#39;s at Caesars



Le Burger Brasserie at Paris



Pepper Rose at Harrah%26#39;s



Penazzi Italian



Rao%26#39;s at Caesars http://www.usmenuguide.com/raos.htm



You can check out the above on Harrah%26#39;s website as well as the menu

Restaurant recommendations?


There is more to Vegas than just eating at Harrah%26#39;s properties. However, some of those mentioned are good. Nero%26#39;s is very good, but you can eat in places like that most anywhere, it isn%26#39;t special.





Olives at Bellagio is excellent and by Vegas standards does not break the bank! It is an extremely popular restaurant. For casual, Margaritaville can be fun as well. I know it is a chain, but since you are in a small town, I think you%26#39;d really like one of these......Grand Lux in either Venetian or Palazzo or Cheesecake Factory in the Forum Shops at Caesars. All are owned by the same company, good food with a varied menu, large portions, good service.





Maggianos in Fashion Show Mall is another good option for you, good Italian food, nice surroundings.





The places I named are not expensive, but all have good food and are very nice. Of the ones mentioned, Olives would be the most expensive of the lot.





Enjoy your time in Vegas!




hi





we came back from Vegas a few weeks ago and loved the following places (range of different budgets)



Rumjungle - Mandalay Bay



Olives - Bellagio



SW Steak house - Wynn very pricey but amazing



Cheesecake Factory - CPF



Grand Lux Cafe - Palazzo



Canaletto - Venetian



Hyakumi - C Palace



Traders Vic - Planet Hollywood, great for drinks and people watching





enjoy your trip




We%26#39;ve sort of found 9as a very general rule) that the cost aspect of the restuarants has a direct relation to the price of the hotel they reside in. If you took the top 20% of the hotels by room price the restaurants in them would also be in the top 20%. It is the next layer down that seems to have the best value...price for quality....and is less outrageous.





The better values too tend to be in the associated shopping malls attached to some hotels such as The Fourm Shops at Caesars and The Canal Shops at the Venetian.





Definitely agree with The Range as a steak option. Also Canaletto in The Venitian Canal Shops. Mon Ami Gabi (to us) had better food than the pricier Les Artistes, both at Paris. There are some good values downtown as well (Pullman Grille, Binion%26#39;s Ranch, Roberta%26#39;s) and for casual the 777 Brewpub at Main Street Station is good.





An off-strip hidden gem (value wise) is the off-menu Steak Special...complete steak dinner for $6.99 and good brewed on-site beers...at Ellis Island. You have to ask for the steak special.
