Any Vegas strip restaurants that we won't have to take out a loan to dine in?

I think you mean Battista's Hole in the Wall, on Flamingo near the Flamingo hotel. http://www.battistaslasvegas.com

Very old school. We've been going since the '70s, but it's been around a lot longer than that. Used to be very cheap, now it's just mid-priced, considering house wine is included in the price. You have to be in the right mood for a throwback experience, but it can be a kick.

A virtual must for us every visit. Old school is right and a very reasonable price for a good Italian meal.

I just remembered a restaurant I really like over at Crystals, the shopping area next to the Aria: Todd English P.U.B. We ate lunch there and the portions were big and reasonably priced.

We used a restaurant.com certificate this week at Slice of Vegas. It's in the corridor that connects Mandalay Bay and the Luxor. We went to happy hour before 6 p.m. and appetizers and drinks were half price. It was outstanding! The menu is Italian.

Karen I forgot to ask where you parked for Slice of Vegas?

Not Karen, but if it is in the corridor between Mandalay Bay and Luxor, it is in an area called Mandalay Place. They have their own valet, with an elevator directly to Mandalay Place. You'd take the driveway that goes beneath a pedestrian bridge (or what looks like one), with Mandalay Bay to the left. Turn right just before (or is it right at the bridge?) where the sign says "Shops at Mandalay Place Valet." That simple.

We did the valet at Mandalay Bay because we were going to the Michael Jackson ONE show there after we ate at Slice of Vegas. There are escalators that lead to the Mandalay Place shops from the casino at Mandalay Bay. The theater is near that end of the building, too, so it was very convenient.

Tonight I went to a show (Jabbowockeez)at the Luxor and used the valet for Mandalay Place that Fern described above. It would be an excellent place to park for Slice of Vegas. When you take the escalator up to Mandalay Place go to your right. Slice of Vegas will be down that corridor not very far from the escalator.

That valet was an excellent place to park for seeing the show at Luxor, too. It was a short walk to the theater and the box office was right next to the entrance.
 
I am replying to this thread so it will be easier for me to search for it. DH and I are planning a quick weekend trip to LV where we visited last time in 2006. Glad to have updated info for the restaurants...
 
Ellis Island $7.99 Steak Dinner.

Ron98GT said:
Ellis Island is on Koval about 1 block from Flamingo. It's behind Bally's. It's been about 20 years since we've been there. Based on the menu, the food is reasonably priced.

We go to Ellis Island for their $7.99 steak dinner special every time we're in Las Vegas.

It's not on the menu. You have to ask for it. To get it for $7.99, you join the slot club, play $1 in one of their machines, then go their rewards video terminal for a steak special coupon that's good for your whole restaurant table.

Click here for the monthly line-up of Las Vegas Top 10 Values, which usually features the Ellis Island steak dinner special near the top of the list.

Please avoid the buffet at TI it is the pits.

Worse than the old Sahara buffet ?

While TI is certainly not the best it wasn't that bad although we were there right as breakfast changed to lunch so I can't comment on dinner. It's also considerably less expensive than some of the better ones it that part of the strip. While we were there at New Years a lot of the buffets were classifying mon dec 30 as a holiday so they could charge Sunday brunch prices, TI didn't do that.

We ate at the Peppermill!

As requested by Fern, I am posting a reply as to where we actually ended up eating dinner before our "O" show. We had reservations (the only place I could get into as it's a VERY busy weekend!) at Serendipity at Caesars for dinner but everyone was still very full from eating at the Peppermill for lunch so we skipped dinner and had a late meal at the food court in the Venetian. Had a great time and really appreciate the reply's and responses!!!
 
Thanks for replying, Gwen. You know, before I moved here I really used to like to sit at the food court at the Venetian with a drink and people watch! Brings back old memories.

We are in LV now. On the relatively cheap. Staying at Stratosphere. Dinner at the Italian joint there. B'fast on . The Strip at a well known pancake place. We are splurging on Brazilian carnivore food before Terry Fator at Mirage. Fremont St. After.

Boy I dislike hotels. No room. No in suite coffee. Maids make it up on their schedule, not yours.

Oh well, TS tomorrow. Back to 'civilization'.

Agree Ellis Island is great bargain but does have wait time.

Great German restaurant on down the road towards air port with Ompah(sp) band. Can't think of name. Maybe Rathskeller?

If up to sales pitch sign up at Harrah's Casino for Wyndham and get expensive show tickets, helicopter ride, etc. plus 3-4 BOGO at Harrah's buffet and restaurants coupons. Free shuttle to Grand Desert resort and El Rio Casino!
 
We also ate breakfast at Blueberry Hill

I googled best breakfast places in Vegas and this came in at number 2 or 3. Great place but there are several. This one was on the east side just a few blocks east of the Desert Club. High recommend as everything was fresh and "homey".:wave:
 
I'd forgotten all about Blueberry Hill. I used to eat there all the time when I stayed at the old timeshare.

Fern
 
Oh Yeah

Reading this thread brought up the usual suspects. Pepper Mill is a time machine. Worth going to for a cocktail if nothing else. Food is good too.
Baptistas wine costs nothing and is appropriately priced. I went with my wine snob brother-in-law and neither of us could choke it down. The Italian food is very good.
The deal city for us is the Blue Martini at Town Square. Killer happy hour and one half priced great apps.
Love South Point.
Get off the strip if you can!

Blue Martini is one of my favorite places for happy hour. The Chart House in the Golden Nugget on Fremont St. is another great place for happy hour.
 
Is that across the street from the old stardust location ?
 
Just back from a week there. I skimmed through the responses some good places new and old. One place to try, for those going, is Buddy V's.(Cake Boss) You will not be disappointed. Food is very good, service on the ball, great location(Venetian) and good prices. You will find good restaurants everywhere with various pricing. We tried to pick the restaurant according to where we were going to be. Freemont St. has The Mob Museum and some good old style restaurants. The boys did it right! Party On!!
