I haven't been to Vegas in decades, but am going this Fall w/a college buddy to see Metallica at the Sphere. Arrive Wednesday, leave Monday, concerts are Thurs and Sat. We're staying at the Luxor. Any restaurant/bar recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also, a good place to watch the games Saturday and Sunday? Thanks!

Oh man, I am jealous.

Strip is loaded w great food options.

I’m partial to the Aria, which has both Javier’s and Din Tai Fung.

I also love the trendiness of the cosmo.

Are you 100 % firm on staying at the Luxor?

I don't know if Luxor has it but if so, sign up for their usually free club membership if you plan to gamble, if you spend enough, you will get comped a future room.

Very difficult to pass up “free.” Have a great time!

I’d rent a car and drive up and down spring mountain. Lots of options and cheaper than the strip.

Yea man but he’s in Vegas,
With a buddy…I doubt he wants to eat on some random strip mall,
Regardless if it’s a 5 star restaurant disguised as a hole in the wall

Mon Ami Gabi for breakfast. Din Tai Fung for lunch. Best Friend for dinner. Beer Park for watching games (reserve a high top outside).

I was there last week for a conference. Me & some coworkers had the chefs tasting at Momofuku at Cosmopolitan. $175 / person. It was outstanding.

Din Tai Fung in the Aria. Make sure you get the Chocolate Dumplings for dessert.

If you are ok with a buffet, The Palms has a seafood buffet Wednesday & Thursday nights. All you can eat lobster and snow crab.

If you're into 80's rock covers, check out Carnaval Court between Harrah's and Linq (the outdoor circular shaped bar). There's a good resident 80's cover band called The Whippets that plays there Thursday-Sunday.

Craps is fun until it’s not.

That’s all I got.

STK Steakhouse at the Cosmopolitan was great when I went 2 years ago. I will be at the 10/1 & 10/3 Metallica Sphere shows & that is where we are going one night for sure.

Was there last week.

L'Atelier was outstanding but probably not what a couple of bros are looking for.

Andiamo is a great spot downtown.
Chicken Fried Steak @ Ellis Island. You will not regret it.

You can pay ridiculously high prices for good food on the strip or half that for good food off strip. Try Herbs and Rye off strip. It is very good.
