Vegas Recs

Can you narrow it down? Strip, off strip, cuisine, type of dining experience. If cost doesn't matter, you're in the right city.

MGM puts me up for free so I usually stay there.

I will not go to Vegas without a visit to Kabuto. You'll need to take a taxi and it's off strip, but I would recommend it to anyone craving a true Japanese Edomae experience.

Where exactly will you be staying if you don't mind my asking? I know the South end of the strip fairly well.

Staying at the four seasons. Yes. He did recommend L'Atelier. He specifically said to get the 8 course meal??? He said they would bring a ton of good food.

Yup, it's a Chef's tasting menu and a meal to be remembered. Be forewarned that it's French cuisine and therefore will be heavily dairy based.

Mandalay Bay has a very good lunch buffet btw. I actually met Mohamed Ali and his wife at Mandalay Bay who was in Vegas at the time for Mike Tyson's hearing.

My wife goes to a conference every year in Vegas so I tag along every other year or so because more than half our trip gets paid for by her vendors or her company. Though I gotten less and less enamored with Vegas, I have enjoyed some damn good meals there.

French and $$$$, L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon was awesome.

Lunch with drinks, Yardbird Southern Table & Bar. Public House is solid too.

Italian I loved Scarpetta and their Fois Gras Ravioli.

Steak, I usually don't do steakhouses in Vegas because I have 2 or 3 great ones in Houston but Craftseak is damn good as is CUT. Haven't tried any place on the new strip besides those but on Fremont St is Hugo's Cellar which is awesome.

Japanese I like Kabuto.

Breakfast, Hash House is pretty good.

Someone took us to a Tapas place off the strip that I remember really liking but that was a precursor to one of my uglier nights I've had in Vegas so I'm not sure how much to recommend it. It was called Firefly but like I said, I'm not sure my memory is the clearest on this one.

There are plenty other options in each category but these I've enjoyed and don't think you could go wrong.

Now how do you not get downvoted with virtually the same recommendations?

Thanks to all for all the help. I will report back.

We recently did Costa di mare @ the Wynn and enjoyed it

I guess there was some pity for the inexplicable downvote for my recommendation in that Metairie Brunch thread. People could be giving out winning lottery numbers and more than one idiot will downvote because they don't like the font in the post or something. It really doesn't matter though.

Honestly, I didn't even read any responses before I made my post. We obviously have similar good taste and the Food Board should take heed.

Tacos and beer on paradise, get any of the pork tacos.
