Company American Bistro: Anytown Menu at Vegas Prices

The only reason I ate at this spot was to gain VIP access to both LAX and Pure, at the time 2 of the top Vegas Clubs. The menu was easy, simple anytown items, i was suprised to see chicken and waffles as an entree item here! For 2, expect a bill around $150 with 2 drinks, 1 appetizer and 2 entrees. This said, the table gets in VIP at the 2 clubs, and that saves you a long wait in line plus the $20 per person cover. If you're going into LAX anyways, you can't beat being walked in after dinner!

Favorite Dish: I liked the mushroom side with my beef :)

Address: In the Luxor next to LAX, casino level

Comparison: more expensive than average

Phone: 702.262.4852

Sensi: Exquisite

Sensi was, hands down, the best meal I had at the Bellagio during my stay here. You are greeted at the entrance by a soothing waterfall leading to a very friendly hostess, led past brilliant transparent kitchens where cooks are busy creating cuisine, and finally seated to begin an amazing meal. Sensi is located on your way to the Spa Tower elevators.. you can't miss the bar and the waterfalls!

Favorite Dish: I started witht he tempura soft-shell crab, entree was herb crusted salmon, all washed down with a nice bottle of wine :)

Address: The Bellagio

Stratosphere Tower: Most scenic lunch in Vegas Stratosphere Tower Review

My last trip to Vegas, I finally made it up to "The Top of the World" Restaurant in the Stratosphere, a rotating restaurant nearly 1000 ft above the Vegas street surface. This was a very nice experience, and in the 45 minutes it took to eat lunch we saw Vegas from every angle as the restaurant rotated. The food was not bad and the service very friendly!

Favorite Dish: I had a steak sandwich to go along with my bourbon and coke... not a bad lunch, all things considered!

Address: 2000 S. Las Vegas Blvd.

Comparison: less expensive than average

Combined Suggestions: Buffet galore Combined Suggestions Review

I think every decent casino/hotel in vegas has a buffet. The price is usually reflective of the quality and the variety of the food on the buffet. If you get hungry while casino hopping, you do not have to stay at the hotel to be able to eat at their buffet...some people new to Vegas actually did not know this. Beware the prices though, this is not your 5.95 hometown buffet.... prices will range from 15-45 depending on the type of food and the "majesty" of the hotel.

Favorite Dish: My favorite buffet in vegas is the Rio Seafood buffet, hands down.

The Wynn buffet: All you can eat

Very nice with a great selection... though I still prefer my Rio Seafood Buffet, this place and the Bellagio rank right up there in my book... but not cheap, though because there are so many high-end spots to eat in this place with high end people, the buffet line here was the shortest in Vegas!

Favorite Dish: Hmmmm- did someone say Crab Legs?

Comparison: more expensive than average

Price: US$31-40

ESPN Zone: Get in the Zone! ESPN Zone Review

I love my ESPN zone!! This place is in NY NY and has one of the best sports books in Vegas in it, as far as I'm concerned. All I had was beer and appetizers, but they are very tasty and the atmosphere on a football sunday is amazing... go check it out, just get there early for those Sunday games, which kickoff about 10AM Vegas time.

Favorite Dish: anything greasy with beer!
