what are the best eats in vegas?

My wife and I are going to vegas in july for our first time. Hotel and air are payed for. We are staying at the paris and are planning on bringing about $2000 for four nights. What are some good cheap places to eat at and maybe one or two fine dining places worth eating at? Any other suggestions about vegas will be greatly appreciated.

Update:

By cheap I mean under $20 per person. Im hoping to hop around to deli's, buffets, and coffee shops for the most part. We might splurge once while we are there and go about $50 a person.

    First of all, there is everything from mall food court type places (many hotels have such food courts) to really jazzy very expensive restaurants. Under $20 is easy over $100 per person is also easy. The mid-range places are tricky. most of the quality buffets are more than $20 per person. But here there is something to consider. The Paris has a wonderful breakfast buffet. We love to eat there and even though it is pricey, we have never needed to eat lunch later. So, it is kind of two meals in one. For dinner, the best value, in my opinion, is the buffet at Planet Hollywood. So, if you eat at these two, one for breakfast one for dinner you will come in at your $20 average for the day by not having or needing lunch.

    One place to get an out of this world Jewish Deli Sandwich is Canter's deli in Treasure Island. The place is not set up well, the help is not very personable but man oh man the pastrami is to die for and the sandwich is the size of a the Manhattan phone book. We usually get one sandwich and split it. (we also get it to go and take it back to our hotel room)

    Another cool place in Treasure Island is Kahunaville. I attached a link that gives you a review as well as reviews of other places. Part of the fun in Vegas is to discover these kinds of places. A lot of these hotels have over 20 restaurants in them and I have found that food is a very personal thing. One person will say it is great another will say the same meal is the worst he ever had.

    People from major cities tend to expect too much from a buffet people from the Mid West or small towns tend to be too easily impressed. So, reviews by patrons are not of much use. The link I gave you is somewhat more helpful.

    The Paradise Buffet is probably the best inexpensive buffet in Vegas. There is a location at the Fremont (downtown), as well as the Flamingo. The one at Fremont is less expensive, and actually has more variety. For fine dining, try Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace. The filet mignon there is incredible!

    Emeril LaGasse for spendy! Even then, if you go for lunch, it is about $50.

    My hubby and I went first to the fish house in MGM. The next time we went to the steakhouse of his in the Venetian. Both times we got exceptional food and service. For example, I set my water away from me (cuz I'm clumsy and was afraid I'd knock it over). They immediately came over to make sure it was okay. When they bring the food out, they move your cutlery, appetizer plates, etc for you. You just sit there and watch!

    We may travel in different economic levels, but we took $650 for 5 days and was able to gamble, see free shows, eat cheap foods, and at Emerils for that price. For cheap, try the Crepe place in Paris, eat down on Fremont (99 cent shrimp cocktails!), hot dogs at Gold Coast, or for a bit more (but still under $20 a person) there is Dick's Last Resort and Sherwood Forest in Excalibur.

    define cheap!

    you can eat at pizza hut mcdonalds nathans etc....

    otherwise "cheap" is still $11+ a plate per person at a lower calibur resturant.

    expect at least the $11 pp per meal.

    buffets $25+

    nicer resturants $30+

    this is all without drinks.

    my wife and i were there last week and like ah sin's all you can eat sushi at paris, and also tacos and tequila inside the luxor

    ok you will find plenty of places under $20 a person.

    and for a nice night out try dinner at top of the world at the stratosphere, my wife and i looooved it. pricy but food was better than reviews lead you to believe and we thought it to be worth every penny.

    i imagine the Rainforest Cafe contained in the MGM Grand will tournament you in basic terms effective. they are very baby-pleasant with an really sturdy baby's menu. the ambience will also keep little ones entertained even as waiting for the food to achieve. expenditures are not to any extent further too undesirable both, so a lengthy way as Vegas expenditures bypass. I have also not in any respect had a nasty meal at any puzzling Rock Cafe international huge. All places are very family individuals-pleasant.

    Las Vegas is no longer just primarily a gambling town where you can catch a great show. In recent years, the Vegas experience has also become in part about the food. Buffets once ruled the scene here, but predominantly in recent years, the big name casinos and Las Vegas hotels have added upscale eateries that feature some of the top chefs in the fine dining industry. There are plenty of Las Vegas restaurants where you can find affordable meal specials, and the buffets still exist, but if you are looking to really impress your date, or are searching for a place where the ambiance matches the quality of the food, it is worth it to strain the budget a bit at least one night out. Las Vegas dining is starting to rival the scenes in such cities as San Francisco and New York, and if eating is one of your greater pleasures, you should certainly enjoy your Las Vegas vacation.

    When you are mentioning the best restaurants in Las Vegas, The Joël Robuchon at the Mansion is often considered the place to go for that once-in-a-lifetime dining experience. This is Las Vegas fine dining at its best. Chef Robuchon is one of a limited quantity of Michelin three-star chefs, and he is known worldwide as the “Chef of the Century”. His restaurant at the MGM Grand is the first that he opened in the United States, and its rich decor was designed by Pierr-Yves Rochon, who has his name on the Four Seasons George V in Paris, and the London St. James Hotel. Savor a range of delights when you opt for the 16-course tasting menu. There is also a 6-course tasting menu, and the restaurant tends to offer an a la carte menu. Formal attire is required, and you should make reservations. If you can’t get reservations at Chef Robuchon’s establishment for that special night out, you might consider heading over to Caesar’s Palace to try the haute-French cuisine at the Guy Savoy restaurant. Chef Savoy is another of the star Las Vegas chefs, also earning the merit of three stars from the Michelin guide. The ultimate experience at the Guy Savoy restaurant is the 16-course dégustation menu, which lasts approximately four hours. If you are pressed for time, you can opt for the 90-minute TVG menu, which offers up such delicacies as marinated tuna, artichoke and black truffle soup and prime beef tenderloin. Belly up to the Bubble Bar, if smaller dishes and a list of Champagne is all you’re after. These two restaurants will more than make for an unforgettable Las Vegas dining experience.

    If you are consulting a good Las Vegas dining guide, either online or by book, there are some other choice spots where you can enjoy some of the best dining Las Vegas has to offer. Often making the best restaurants in Las Vegas list is the Alizè restaurant at the Palms. Not only is the elegant dining room something to behold, but the views of the Vegas skyline are among the best of the Las Vegas fine dining establishments. André Rochat is the celebrated chef of this outstanding restaurant, which also specializes in French cuisine. The Alizè has an award-winning wine list, and the Pepper-crusted filet mignon with a unique cognac cream sauce is to die for. Seared scallops, black truffles and caviar are just some of the tastes you’ll find here, so you can bet that this is Las Vegas fine dining done right. If seafood is what you are after, it’s hard to beat what Emeril Lagasse is serving up back at his MGM Grand New Orleans Fish House. The Southern, Cajun and Creole flavors here are enough to make you want to move to Vegas just to have them close by. For starters, you might try the lobster cheesecake appetizer, which is quite unlike any other appetizer you’ve ever tried. The ahi tuna topped with foie gras is a decadent dish and the portions are generous. Emeril also has his name on one of the best steakhouses in Las Vegas, the Delmonico at the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino.

    Wolfgang Puck is another celebrity chef who has his fair share of restaurants that are often mentioned among the best dining Las Vegas has to offer. His signature Spago restaurant, found at Caesar’s Palace, is among the early Las Vegas fine dining offerings that helped to put the city on the dining map. The prices here are relatively reasonable, and if you are looking to spot a celebrity, you might get lucky here. Puck’s Postrio restaurant at the Venetian is another of his finer Las Vegas restaurants, and while it offers more than Italian fare, it could arguably qualify as the best choice for Las Vegas Italian restaurants. For another Las Vegas fine dining experience with an incredible view to boot, head to the Bellagio, for Todd English’s Olives restaurant. The food here is impeccable, and you can watch the dazzling Bellagio fountains as you savor the dining experience. Other Bellagio restaurants that qualify as best dining Las Vegas locales are Michael Mina, Picasso and the AAA Five Diamond Award-winning Le Cirque. At the Mandalay Bay Resort, its hard to beat t
