Looking for opinions on Las Vegas restaurants

Avoid buffets at all costs! There days of being a value are long gone...unless you weigh 300+ pounds and feel you have to get your money's worth at every sitting. I always find the best meal at the best price the advertised specials available everywhere. That would be things like $9.99 prime rib or ribeye dinner. That's a better meal at almost half the cost of a buffet and they serve you.
And if your racing, there's a place called Memphis BBQ located around the entrance to Nellis AFB. That's reasonably close to LVMS but too far off the strip. Personally I like to gamble at downtown (the original part of the strip). Your $$ will last a lot longer at the tables. Make sure you pick up the free publications found on every street corner for the really hot deals in town!

Have fun...

The steak house in Boulder Station on Boulder Hwy and the freeway into town is good. If you want a high end dinner go to the steakhouse in the Mandalay Bay. Its pricey but well worth it.

Don't forget the Sonic on Flamingo Drive just west of I-15. If you're looking to see a show, check out Danny Gans at the Mirage. Great Impersonater. The Prime Steakhouse at The Bellagio was excellent, also. Have fun and good luck.

Tony Romas....it's downtown (old vegas) entrance is in the fremont street experience area. excellent food, not too bad price wise, and as Jeff said your money goes farther at the tables.

Doug--Just came back from Vegas and and I'm not 300 lbs.--(well,not anymore) and visited many high end restaurants and the best value was at the Wynn buffet--its not about how much food you eat but simply about the quality / presentation and service .In spite of what Jeff says try it anyway--you'll be glad.
