Las Vegas Best Restaurants

[Topper]

I don't spend the type of money you do DDD on anything including food. But the best meals i have enjoyed have not been the most expensive.

I took a cooking clas in Positano and made gnocchi with my wife.

We had a Tahitian make us authentic food on the beach on Moorea.

Also we found a great hole in the wall overlooking Rio. They might satisfy your expensive taste buds but those dining experiences are the most memorable for me. That is what i search for and it is mostly missing in Vegas now.

Did anybody watch the 100 foot journey? It made me hungry for Indian food.

Got interrupted.

High end seafood:

Mastros - awesome, best sweet potato fries ever there, they are unreal - $250
American Fish - pretty ok, they do like a 9 course fish deal that's good - $250

Japanese, I avoid the strip, yellowtail?!?, yeah pass:

Tokyo Boys - open late, good stuff
Kabuto - go here, trust me, it's amazing

Thai:

Lotus, next question
Naga is pretty awesome if you live in Hendo

Chinese:

No options here

Vietnamese:

Vietnam Bistro, DH turns me on to this, it's awesome

Mexican:

Tacos El Gordo, next to Encore, street tacos, yum
I Love Arepas is pretty good

Pizza:

Windy City for deep dish
Pizza Rock is cool in downtown

Breakfast, love me some breakfast:

MTO - cool in Downtown
Rise and Shine - quality

Local Cool Spots:

Honey Salt - meh
Eat - best grilled cheese and tomato soup I've had in my life
Oyster Bar - Pan Roast after gambling and StripClub is amazing

I had to talk Donut into trying Eat. He's convinced that there's nothing worth coming downtown for outside of his lawyering magnet Triple George.

I keep meaning to check out MTO's. That would have been a better option than the remodeled Gold Spike where I lunched yesterday. Unnoteworthy.

[Dwight Schr-ute]

Carson's is another great new place downtown as well.

[ERCougar]

I forgot MTO! I love that place.
Good list, fus. At least the last half, when you got into our price range.

[ERCougar]

Two more I thought of: Komex and patisserie manon (best macarrons I've had anywhere and really good cassoulet)

[Donuthole]

Gourmet hot dog option: Buldogis. Tons of great fusion dogs. I especially love the Gangnam. Mmmmm pork belly.

Signature quote!

[Shaka]

Shaka keeps forgetting that I was with them at Vietnamese place and that was really good.

I'm a loser. I apologize. That was a fun day.

I typically hate the buffets but the exceptions are the one at the Mandalay Bay and the breakfast buffet at the Wynn.

No worries...my kid was with me, so I was mostly hanging with him.

That's why some people say you are OK.

Vegas is kind of our go to date night if we want to get out of town. We have season tickets to the Smith center so we know the restaurants around there the best. I don't know what it is, but I've never really had a good dining experience on the Strip. I liked Mon Ami Gabi well enough, and l'Atelier de Joel Robuchon was also good, but it's just not my style. This is one spot I'll agree with DDD--everything seems...just not original.
I like some places off the Strip though. Shaka keeps forgetting that I was with them at Vietnamese place and that was really good. Lotus of Siam is also fantastic. Donut has given me some great recommendations. The two favorites - one is no longer open, the other, Grape street, is this converted wine cellar type place with a great ambience and the best Chilean sea bass I've ever had. The Bronze Cafe is...unique, with great sandwiches. Those are a few of our favorites.

There's a Thai place across the street from the El Cortez. awesome food.

Le Thai?

It's good, I'd rather just eat at Lotus.

Carson Kitchen is another good one downtown, American fusion hipster.

DH would fit right in.
