Vegas has much better food. I've never heard of someone who went to Denny's in Vegas.

Fatburger is the best burger joint there.

Denny's was actually the busiest place for breakfast on the strip. Every morning there were at least 15 people waiting to get in.

I eyed that place a few times.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll put that on the list for next time.

Yeah, all the great restaurants in Vegas and the best meal you had was Buca di Beppo?

Great pix tho, sounds like the rest of the trip (besides your dining experience) was great.

I enjoyed most of the food. I don't need all the fancy dinners but next time I'll ask the board for some advice.

we're just giving ya a hard time! vegas has amazing restaurants, some fancy, some dives. it's just a shame to eat at a chain like dennys or buca, when you can explore local offerings.

I need some insight on those dives and local offerings for next time.
The wife loves Mexican and Seafood.
I'm more of the Italian and BBQ

Will do, I've heard LOVE is awesome. I have to imagine it can't be too horrible if it's been around for so long.

This, most definitely this.

I'll give him this though, if you've never been to Vegas you couldn't possibly appreciate just how much walking he did to get to all of those places.

Anyone eaten at Javier's in Aria?


Yes. It's really good, but not so much better than slightly higher-end mexican food to be worth the price.

I'm a strict diet guy.
I eat clean
I train 6 days a week
I compete
I ate what I wanted last week, and with all that walking, I still lost weight.... I also used, pretty much, every casino's bathroom. When you are used to eating so clean, those foods can really shock the system and do a number on the stomach

I am surprised to see also that MGM has a "13th" floor. Usually they skip 13 and go straight to 14 in Vegas. I've never stayed there though.

No problem
I was just on google maps less than a minute ago, looking down the strip
I already miss it but didn't realize all the walking I did

Have a great trip
