My DH and I will be going to Vegas soon. I've heard that a number of good
restaurants have opened there in the last few years, "Paris" among them.
Anyone have any recommendations for "must try"?

the breakfast buffet at paris is excellent. and the house of blues (inside

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!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm printing them off.

Anyone know if the seafood buffet at Ceasars is good? We are staying there,
and DH says he's heard good things, but what does he know?? ;-)

He also is talking about Aladin's?

We've only been to Vegas once before, and we didn't get to spend much time. We
are going to see the Blue Man Group one night, and Gladys Knight the next. I
think I'd like to do something a bit more "upscale" on the Gladys Knight
evening. Suggestions for a nice sit-down meal? We like... well, gosh, we like
good food, of all kinds!

Although I can't answer that, here's a good link for
anyone planning to go to Las Vegas:

And be sure you read this (about not being cheated

Try the seafood buttet at the Rio. Its a little over a mile up Flamingo
road from Ceasers (in other words, the Rio is off the strip itself.)

For a nice romantic dinner, "Hugo's Cellar" in the Four Queens comes to
mind. They used to win the award every year for the most romantic
restaurant in Vegas.

I have been to Las Vegas many times, and I will be there again on vacation
in about a month (just got airline tickets a couple of days ago)! What
kind of food do you prefer, and what price range?

For top tier restaurants, you have several choices such as Delmonico's in
the Aladan casino, Emeril's Fish House, in the MGM Grand casino, Olive's
in the Balagio. Almost all the major Strip casinos have a range of
restaurants in them from very casual to gourmet dining. If you want a very
good Sunday brunch, you can't go wrong with the buffet in the Paris
casino.

I also suggest you check out http://www.cheapovegas.com which is a
wonderful resource for first time visitors to Las Vegas. The newsgroup
alt.vacation.las-vegas is also a good resource for information about
Las Vegas.
