Vegas mid-range Eats

[callydrias]

I really like House of Blues (restaurant, not music hall) in Mandalay Bay. I also liked the food at Red 8 in Wynn (Asian/noodles), but it may be more generic than you're looking for - get the unfiltered sake if you go though!

A lot of the buffets in Vegas are between $20-30.

that also begs the question of where to go for a buffet.

I rate them thus:

1) Wynn
2) Paris - champagne only on Sundays, btw
3) Bellagio
4) Cafe Lago - Caesars
5) Aladdin

I was not that thrilled with the Mirage and Bally's sucks ass by comparison to these. Also, Mandalay Bay was hugely disappointing.

I want to try the new Treasure Island buffet, Dishes. Next trip, I guess.

If you like Indian food Gaylord (snicker) in Rio is very good.

Ah, yes, I tried this during the WSOP. It stands up well to the good Indian food I find in Chicago.

I was going to tell you to check out the Coyote Grill at the MGM but apparently it's gone. WTF?

Dishes -- certainly not as good as Aladdin, much better than Luxor or Mandalay.

It's a nice presentation. The pasta to order is nice, the sushi to order is ok, but there's often a longish (by comparison) line. I thought the rest was standard vegas buffet.

If I was in the neighborhood, and didn't want to make the walk to Mirage, I'd go back again.

I am going to Vegas this week with a couple friends and I wanted to get one decent meal but one of my friends doesn't want to break the bank for a 50 dollar steak.

Can anyone make recommendations of good places with entrees more in the mid-$20 range?

We are staying on the strip and don't have a car. Thanks.

Tsunami at the Venitian was great for sushi & chinese food.

I think you can still get a giraffe for about $20 at the brew pub in the Riviera.

I would rate it Bellagio, Wynn, then Paris

Just ate at Cafe Lago yesterday and it has definately gone down. For $22, we got NO selection at all and half of the buffet was empty. May of just been a bad time (~ 1:30pm)
