I've been to the one in Scottsdale and Cardcore has been to the Vegas location at City Center and loved it. It is very good imo.http://www.opentable.com/mastros-ocean-club-las-vegas Link to post Share on other sites

Iphonenkinder 558 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hey all,I'm taking a last minute trip. We're staying at the Bellagio, and will be at the Palms tonight for a party. Any ideas for dinner? I'd like to stay $40-50/pp before booze, tax, or tip.Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hey all,I'm taking a last minute trip. We're staying at the Bellagio, and will be at the Palms tonight for a party. Any ideas for dinner? I'd like to stay $40-50/pp before booze, tax, or tip.Thanks!Jasmine at the Bellagio is excellent if you like Chinese. Sensi is also good (more of an asian fusion place) and is right around your budget. Prime is a great steakhouse but will be a bit above your budget.Went out to Vegas a few weeks ago. Hit a few new places.Wing Lei----the fancy Chinese place at the Wynn. The room was nice and the service was good.....but the food was not so great. Obviously not bad or anything but Jasmine or Fin at the Mirage are much, much better.Lavo (Palazzo)---It's way too loud late at night (unless that is what you want of course) but the view when you sit outside is really awesome and the food was quite good especially the pasta dishes.Sushi Samba (Palazzo mall)---We just had a bunch of appetizers at happy hour but they were all delicious. Drink deals were decent. Lots of tvs.....good place to relax for a couple hours.Grand Lux Cafe (Venetian)---If you like the Cheesecake Factory, you'll like this place. Basically, the same thing.Postrio (Venetian Mall)---It's one of the randoms in a square in the Venetian shopping mall area. So, it's loud and there are little shows going on all around. But it's a wolfgang puck place and the food was above average (especially the corn soup which was particularly good). Link to post Share on other sites

It is quite amazing; my mother who I also took marveled at the ambiance.(It's also rather freaky to have a bathroom attendant in the bathroom. I had never been to a place like that before.)

It was good, but I don't think I'm the world's biggest buffet fan. Saturday night was the Fallout New Vegas party, where I was happy to enjoy the free food and drink, and giggle at the various guests.Sunday morning we went to Noodles for the dim sum--it was expensive for dim sum ($60 for two, includes one noodle dish from regular menu) but the food was good. Their Shanghai dumplings weren't the xiao long bao that I know and love, but they were serving chicken feet, so yeah! Link to post Share on other sites

grocery_mony 8 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Got back on Saturday from 5 nights. Its a toss up for me between Wynn and Bellagio buffets, I had wynn this trip and it was very good however the sushi/japanese section at the Bellagio is supperior aswell Bellagio has more exotic meats to sample. The ceviche selections at the Wynn are awesome and there desserts might edge out the Bellagio now that they added a live action crepe and waffle section to go with there other great selections. also no wait at they Wynn at 5pm was a plus.Gave Mesa Grill another shot and it was alot better than my last time there. Had the chille relleno and tomato soup and both were very good.Table 10 is my favorite restraunt in Vegas. There menu is kinda all over the place which i actually like. Had creole seafood bouliabasse(sp?) and California Buffalo. The buffalo was fantastic.Other than that nothing to exciting food wise other than the usual In N Out trip. Went to Hash House a go go at the IP but the wait was gonna be 45 minutes so I passed. Link to post Share on other sites

nutzbuster 7 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Scott time to update this You just did, thanks!The initial thread/listings were complied from places people from here have actually eaten at and liked. Clearly there are hundreds that folks have not been to yet.If people have questions just post here. City Center has really thrown this thread for a loop and I obviously have not eaten everywhere.The links above all seem legit. There are just too many places in Vegas to eat, it's insane.That said, you'd have to work really hard to find a shitty dining experience. gl. Link to post Share on other sites

Nikki_N 17 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I was a little disappointed in Mesa. It was the place we went for the annual fcpha nice Vegas dinner. Some of the dishes were pretty damn good while others fell flat. All in all, I liked it but found it to be overpriced for what you get. The steaks in particular were a disappointment. The pork tenderloin on the other hand was lovely. The wines were overpriced for the most part, too. It was too loud in there when we arrived, but we had a late reservation and it was fine once everyone else had cleared out, but the wait staff seemed to be waiting on our party to gtfo. That kind of took away from the ambiance.A few folks went to Lavo the night before and raved about it. I'd like to give it a try. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to give it a try.I never get a steak there, usually a pork dish or whatever the special is. That said I have moved on from this being a favorite and have other favorite places now, but Mesa is almost like nostalgia to me, one of the first great Vegas restaurants I ever tried and right at the point of the poker blow up. Such great memories. Truth is there are just so damn many better places to eat now and so much has changed in 7 years, it's impossible to pick a fave anymore (ok CUT)and Sen of Japan.

grocery_mony 8 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Heading there next week:). I really want to try cut but my friend says she wants steak and lobster and I dont see lobster on there online menu. I guess i will have to settle(snickers) for Delmonico. Also hoping to get downtown and check out the newly opened Heart attack grill. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I looked too...it's just not at all appealing. Lard fries and highest butterfat milkshakes....pass. It's like eating deep fried candy bars, which I know are available and I've never had. Just not appealing at all. Link to post Share on other sites
