Paris' buffet is good, but somewhat expensive, IMHO. Another good buffet is
at Rio. Huge number of items, and the price is better. If brunch is more
your thing, go to Bellagio. It's not cheap either, but it is great.
Otherwise, a buffet is a buffet is a buffet.

Mark Miller has a couple of restaurants inside MGM Grand (Coyote Cafe),
which are really good. I liked the Pink Taco at Hard Rock - chips and salsa
were good, and the staff are friendly. For a local place not in a casino
hotel, try Tinoco's Bistro on East Charleston. Kind of hard to find, but
call ahead for reservations and ask for directions. French/Italian cooking
and quite reasonable. The place looks like a hole in a wall, but the food
is great. El Sombrero on Main Street is good if you like plenty of Mexican
food, cheap. And one place I like to go when I'm just driving around town:
In-N-Out Burger on Industrial Road. One of the best chain burgers I ever
had.

The big name people have big name restaurants in the big casino hotels,
especially MGM Grand (Mark Miller, Emeril Lagasse), Mandalay Bay (Charlie
Parker's Aureole), Bellagio (Picasso, Aqua), and The Venetian (Lutece,
Delmonico's). For example, Wolfgang Puck has a bistro-like place at
Mandalay Bay, and I also like Border Grill there and Red Square for what has
to be the world's most diverse collection of vodkas. The wine "tower" at
Aureole has to be seen to believe. If you're at Paris, Eiffel Tower is
good, although sitting outside at Mon Ami Gabi and overlooking the fountains
at Bellagio is a good way to spend some time. You can't go too wrong eating
in Las Vegas because of the variety, although it's not as cheap as it used
to be. Some of the off-strip hotels have decent restaurants as well,
especially places like Sam's Town and Orleans. As you can tell, I like to
go to Vegas. Tour the Ethel M chocolate plant and cactus garden. Have fun!
