Vegas Reccomendations?
I figure the CP would be good for Vegas recs.
Staying at the Cosmo the 2nd week of December and options for good places to eat are just insane. Down for something pretty pricey for one night but really open as to what we will want to try. What is a go to for you? <iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/l1J9DtQeSm8oTPos0" width="480" height="270" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe> |

It’s on koval, not far from the strip but I wouldn’t recommend walking there. Great food, great prices and they make their own beer which is great too. Their casino has cheap table games too. If you want a pricey but great steak, the steakhouse at circus circus is fantastic. |
Go to the French Restaurant with the green iron decor....Mon Ami Gabi on the strip.
It's right across the street from Cosmo...go see "Love" at the Mirage...or Absinthe...the later is more rowdy and close by. Love is my favorite show in Vegas.. That will be a quality "tourist" night in Vegas...maybe head to Spearmint Rhino to top it off. https://www.yelp.com/biz/mon-ami-gabi-las-vegas-2 I know what I'm talking about... Truth be told...go to old Vegas. **** the Strip...go to Fremont street.... that french restaurant is great though...and you can just walk over there. I would stay at El Cortez...that's the area you want to party in...way, way cooler than the strip. |
I’ve always herd to this magical place called “spirment rhino” evidently best strip club
|
Special occasion? As mentioned Mon Ami Gabi is nice, we made reservations online and put a note in that it was our anniversary, after we had finished our food they brought us a nice dessert for free and said happy anniversary. It was a special touch.
One of the best (and most expensive) meals of my life was at Emeril’s restaurant in the Venetian. That was years ago, don’t know if it’s still there. Some good bar food is Guy Fierie’s place at the Linq. Best breakfast we’ve had is at Hash House a Go Go We’re staying at Mandalay Bay this weekend. Only reservation we have is at the restaurant on top of the stratosphere. Winging it the rest of the weekend. Also, as mentioned above, go see Absinthe. It’s amazing and we are going to see it again this weekend |
1. Dont Go, its turned into a worse shithole
2. If you do, enjoy yourselves first. Dinner, show relax first night. Then gamble and hate life. |
Egg Slut in the Cosmo
The Palm restaurant in Caesar’s (filet steak) Peach margaritas at Cabo Wabo outside deck (people watching) Absinthe at Caesars Freemont Helicopter to Grand Canyon War card game at Planet Hollywood |

Wouldn't make a habit out of them however. |

I’ll chime in on downtown, too!! Love it!! The light show is great ( and free). I believe it’s kind of cheaper gamblin’ in old town. If Binions steakhouse is still around, they had the best Ribeye that I’ve ever eaten (twice). Be warned, it was also the most expensive steak I’ve ever had (twice) and I’ll do it again!! Have fun. |
Believe it or not the food court at The Venetian is pure fire, all of it!
|
I will 3rd Egg Slut. Be prepared for a long wait.
I enjoyed Bobby Flay's restaurant Mesa, but that was 5 years ago. |

I always find my way to Egg Slut, especially if you are staying at the Cosmo. By the way, I've always had luck betting in the Cosmo sports book. Going to miss it when MGM takes over. And I'm also a fan of Downtown. You want a good time go there on Halloween. Anyway, the sports book at Circa is amazing. Stadium Swim looks awesome, but I'd need my entire crew out there if I was going to swing for a cabana. |
The Egg and I is a great place for brunch/breakfast. It’s off the strip, but all of the better places(and more affordable) to eat are off the strip. Had some great sushi out in the suburbs, but can’t remember the name of the place. Don’t go to In N Out burger there. They are way overrated.
|
White Castle at the end of Fremont Street.
|
Atomic Liquors downtown
|
The deli inside NYNY has some great corned beef and pastrami sandwiches. It’s also next to their sports book if you want to place some bets without having to wait in a line.
|
Don't get to vegas very often. We stumbled into this place a few years back and it was pretty good and entertaining to boot. Across from Ballys....
http://battistaslasvegas.com/ |
Joe's stone crab in the Forum Shops if you want some stone crab and a steak. Pricey though.
Hash houseagogo I think it was called in Bally's for breakfast. O at the Bellagio is a good show. |
Quote:
I don't know if it's still open, but we used to hit up The Peppermill for breakfast once every trip. Really cool "old Vegas" vibe and damn good food. HUGE portions. It's on the north end of the strip next to where Riviera used to be. |
Eggslut is not worth the combination of the price and line, IMO. If you walk up and the line is short, I’d say go for it, but I wouldn’t wait a half hour for it.

If you rent a car...check out Valley of Fire State Park. It's like being on Mars. It's about 60 miles northeast...definitely worth it. Nevada is a beautiful state.. http://parks.nv.gov/parks/valley-of-fire |
We’re hitting the art district for first time this weekend because of all of the breweries. Someone mentioned atomic, I think that was on our list.

If you walk the Strip at all, be prepared to be enveloped in a cloud of ditchweed smoke the entire time.
|
With that said, for the casual options try Secret Pizza in the Cosmo and Yardbird Southern Table and Bar in the Palazzo.

I was in Vegas in august and I’ve never seen riff raff on the strip like there is now. It looked like downtown ny city with the homeless. Last time I was there was 2019 and saw none of that shit. Also, weed overload everywhere, even in some casinos. Cheapest beer on the strip is at casino royale (I found that little gem in the mid 90’s and learned to play craps on their mini craps tub for a dollar) |
Hash House A Go Go.
The best breakfast I’ve ever had. CFS and eggs, Chicken and Eggs Benedict, and biscuits and gravy. |

Even when we've stayed at Caesars, Bally's, or Flamingo we will still walk all the way over there for breakfast. I've eaten Mennonite (countless times), Amish, local, everything you can imagine. I was shocked when I ate at Hash House. I'll be there in January during the playoffs and May. I know where I'm going! |

This spot in the Cosmo has incredible Asian Food. |
I usually just get a few spicy mcchickens and keep drinking

Bouchon at The Venetian is supposed to be the shit but we didn’t plan far enough ahead to get a reservation. I’m gonna make it a point to get there next time I’m there |

If anyone on here is into sushi, there’s no better spot than Kabuto in China Town. Omakase style, and pricey, but worth every penny. You’ll need a reso about 2-3 weeks in advance to get in as the place is VERY small. |
We go to Vegas with friends often as it is not that far of a drive from California. We stumbled upon the best Dim Sum place by accident and now go there for lunch every time we are in Vegas. It is New Asian BBQ, it is off strip and surrounded by good sushi places, etc. It is authentic, so I will say that in advance.
|
So I’m sure you can get a Wagyu steak at other places, But we went to Top Of The World last night and I had one for the first time. Just wow. Didn’t even care how much it cost, because it was one of the best meals I’d ever had, and the views just added to it
|
There is a big Chiefs presence in Vegas this weekend. Tons of people in chiefs gear everywhere.
|
I refuse to stay at hotels that add secret "resort fees" to the bill, so I don't stay on the strip. I always stay downtown.

Next time I go to Vegas I'm seriously considering staying at Gold Coast, they treated me wonderfully there my last Vegas trip. Even Harrahs NKC has a $20/day resort fee. |
Just get Diamond status at Caesars and don’t worry about resort fees
|
I haven’t paid a resort fee in 20 years. And back then it was like $1.25 a night. In most cases invited guests (players) get it waived easily. I don’t spend any time in the room lol it’s a place to shit, sleep and shower.
|
Hotels charge resort fees because they don’t fall under the tax code. If they added that amount to the room charge they would tack the big tax to it, too.

It was Main Street Station. I had to look it up. If you look it up, you'll likely lose respect for me, but I was just passing through and it was actually a pretty decent hotel. Quote:

I wouldn't care if they were transparent about it, but at the time I was using hotels.com (side note: never use hotels.com for anything because they're horrible) and there was no notification of "resort fees" until you checked out. |

A group of us were there last week and we enjoyed the Erotic Heritage Museum and the Lost Spirits Distillery. And I love the margaritas and Margaritaville. Not exactly what you were looking for but thought I'd share nonetheless.

Ok Mon Ami Gabi seems to have a salmon sorelle type dish we need to make it over there.

Going back in late August for a retirement party of a coworker.
Anyone have more recs they are liking these days? Not sure where we will be staying in this time around the Cosmopolitan last time was incredible. Really good service and so much to enjoy the view with balcony was great. Though it certainly feels better suited towards couples this is going to be a group of guys I imagine we stay somehwere down market I am just going with the flow. Had a decent dinner at Sinatra at the Wynn. The restaraunts at The Wynn seem really top notch. Love the sushi and the walk up place at the Cosmo that even had a sushi rolling machine. This time around have my eye on Tom Colicchio's Heritage Steak at the Mirage anyone have experience? https://mirage.mgmresorts.com/en/res...age-steak.html |
Golden Steer Steakhouse
https://www.goldensteerlasvegas.com/ Ferraro's for Italian https://www.ferraroslasvegas.com/ Elllis Island for cheap eats, brew pub, pizza and gambling Mystere show from Cirque de Soleil |
There is some Korean restaurant near MGM Grand that I always end up at around 2:00 AM. Maybe it’s because I’m always super blasted but I really enjoy it.
|
Estatoria milos is a Greek restaurant in the Venetian. Great fresh seafood.
Joes stone crab is the best restaurant in vegas |
I'll toss out that the Paris Sunday breakfast/lunch buffet is amazing.
I'm not saying "brunch" because that's gay |
Quote:
|
Take a day, rent a car and go to Hoover dam. It’s really neat and gets you away from all the Vegas BS for a afternoon.
|
I’d give you some, unfortunately I’m not familiar with the Gay Bar scene anywhere. But I’m sure there will be plenty for you!
|
Go to that heart attack restaurant
