Las Vegas Strip Restaurants Catering To Many Tastes
By Julia Barnes
In 1992, Austrian chef Wolfgang Puck took a gamble
on the Las Vegas Strip by opening "Spago"
at Caesars Palace. People thought he was crazy at the
time, but he started a trend that renewed the Vegas
hotels and restaurant scene.
Now, Wolfgang Puck owns "Chinois," at Caesars,
"Café de Lupo" at Mandalay Bay and the "Wolfgang
Puck Café and Grille" at the MGM Grand. Soon to
follow, Emeril Lagasse opened "Emeril’s New Orleans
Fish House" at MGM Grand, and "Delmonico"
at the Venetian.
Charlie Palmer opened the "Charlie Palmer Steakhouse"
at Four Seasons and "Aureole" at Mandalay
Bay. California wine country entrepreneur Thomas Keller
opened "Bouchon" at the Venetian.
Among The Best Restaurants In The World
Nobu Matsuhisa opened "Nobu" at Hard Rock
and San Francisco’s Michael Mina opened "Seablue"
and "Nobhill" at the MGM Grand. Restaurants
along the Las Vegas Nevada Strip are considered among
the best in the world.
"Alize," on the top floor of the Palms Casino
Resort in Vegas Nevada, is rated by culinary guides
and travel publications like Condé Nast Traveler Magazine
as "one of the top new restaurants in the
world."
A French Inspired Menu
Award winning chef André Rochat named his restaurant
after gentle trade winds that sweep the French Caribbean
Islands and has provided a French-inspired menu that
makes diners forget they are enjoying Las Vegas Strip
dining rather than partaking in an exotic, far-flung
eatery.
When you review the menu, it boasts of impressive combinations
like "pan seared muscovy duck breast and duck leg
stuffed with dates wrapped in apple-wood smoked bacon
with citrus couscous, almond rurée, tamarind glaze and
curry emulsion," as well as "pepper crusted
filet mignon with a leek and porcini ravioli, sautéed
honshimeji mushrooms, roasted tomato and pepper cognac
cream sauce" for the most distinguished palates.
More Affordable Offerings
For travelers who haven’t quite hit it big at a Las
Vegas casino yet, there are more modest offerings that
are explosive in flavor but not in price. "Cravings"
in the Mirage Hotel boasts the biggest menu over any
other Las Vegas hotel restaurant, with buffet-style
dishes from Japan, China, Mexico, France, Italy and
more for $15-25/person.
"The Sterling Brunch" at Bally’s Steakhouse
fills bellies with seared salmon, smoked fish, bagels,
fresh shrimp, waffles, omelets, sushi, sashimi and desserts,
making this the ideal option for a special occasion,
at only $30/person. Another one of the best buffets
in Vegas is at The Bellagio Hotel.
Ideal Family Dining
Presentation is big here at this $32/person gourmet
dining experience. There is a vast array of Italian,
Chinese and American options. Just off the Vegas strip
on Sahara is "Hash House A Go Go," which is
ideal for families with five types of scrambled egg
skillets, five kinds of eggs benedict or dinners, like
sage fried chicken, stuffed meatloaf and blue crab cakes.
Many people gravitate to the Las Vegas Strip eateries
in search of the famed "cheap buffets" and
"$2 feasts" that the city was once exclusively
known for. While much has changed, as celebrity chefs
and intense competition has wreaked havoc on the prices,
there are still some fantastic deals.
The Gamblers Special
Ask for "the gambler’s special" at Mr. Lucky’s
in the Hardrock Hotel for $7.77 that includes steak,
shrimp, salad and potatoes. Slip inside the Klondike
for $2.49 spaghetti, salad and breadsticks or $5.99
prime rib.
The Ellis Island Casino & Brewery offers 24/7 breakfasts
that include two eggs and bacon for $2.95 or a 10 ounce
sirloin steak and eggs for $5.95. Also try McCormick
& Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant for $1.95 Monday
thru Friday specials (from 3:30 - 6:30 pm or 9:30 -
11 pm) to get tasty pub grub, like a half-pound cheeseburger,
Buffalo wings, jalapeno poppers or southwest chicken
empanadas.
For low-priced but delicious buffets, check out Circus
Circus, Main Street Station, The Orleans, Palace Station,
The Palms and Sahara.
