Seat68 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The best steak I ever had was at The D Grill in The D on Fremont. The Maytag blue cheese grilled filet. It was out of this world, loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 As the final leg of my travels, will be heading to LV, hopefully have a bit of money left (not too much of a gambler but you've got to have a go in Vegas). The thought of these buffets is making me hungry now, god knows what i'll be like there. Going to try out one of the rides on stratosphere (the one that goes sticks out over the edge). Anyone been on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I went to imperial palace for their buffet, made the mistake of using logic and thinking they'd have some awesome Chinese thing on the go, it was horrific, only bad meal I had all week, and the food was one one of my favourite things about Vegas , didn't go anywhere particularly posh or expensive and had a lot of steak but everything was really good, couldn't do another buffet after that though From memory I know I went to rainbow cafe, serendipity, an Italian in the golden nugget, some blues bar in Mandalay bay, I've never eaten so much steak in my life, probably same prices as here just everything was bigger, the waiter in the Italian thought it was mind blowing that I was from Worcestershire, the home of the sauce.... Also the bakery / patisserie in the ballagio, mind blowingly good I love the way they think it isn't a real place... However, did you have to tell them how to say it properly and they still didn't believe you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone been on it? Did all the rides at the stratosphere and unlike most rides I've been on I will never go on them again. They aren't fun, it's just pure fear for the two that hang you over the side. I didn't enjoy it I just sat there praying for it be over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The steakhouse I went to said they were the only licensed place in vegas to sell official Kobe beef? Has anyone ever tried it? It was $160 for a 4 oz steak and for each additional oz i think it was another $60. Surely no beef can taste that good to warrant that amount of money!!

Anyone been on it? my lad ( would have been about 7 at the time) wanted to do the bungee jump down it but he wasn't old enough if I recall ..but that may have been the excuse Mummy gave him as the thought of him jumping off the building terrified her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah wagyu beef is meant to be the best in the world, they massage the cows, give them beer, all kinds of shit to make them happy and produce better quality meat, it has as amazing marble effect to it, not sure what that does the taste but you can that it's different from you average I think they serve it rare or blue though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Every casino has a buffet of some sort. Bellagio is good, MGM isn't great, Monte Carlo is shocking. Didn't bother with any others but Im sure Aria/Wynn are solid. I wouldn't even go to one, they have such good restaurants and the size of the meals is a lot bigger in general so I dont see the need. Find a nice place to have a good steak or something. Mirage actually has a good few places to eat inside, Gordon Ramsey has his restaurants dotted around the city too. Make sure you hit Earl of Sandwich in Planet Hollywood. Pizza at Wolfgang Puck was the best I have ever had, must have had about 20 of them.

tonyh29 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 my mate is 50 next year and I'm trying to convince him he really wants to go to Vegas for it He said he went there as part of his honeymoon and didn't enjoy it he wasn't too impressed with my reply of " yeah , but you went with your wife , this time it would be fun " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 You can't go with your family/wife and get the most out of Vegas IMO. Just like you wouldn't take them to Zante! Maybe slightly OTT but you see the point. My friend went with his girlfriend, its not the same. If you want to enjoy yourself gambling, going out, drinking round the pools/casinos all day you need to do it with the boys. Vegas is the best place on earth, there is nothing like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Hmmm, been to Vegas and Zakynthos with my wife, multiple times and had the best time at each. Enjoyed myself gambling, going out, drinking all day. That said, I dont mind admitting, and yes I can guess it will bring an element of ridicule, but there isnt anyone on this earth I would rather spend time with, she is my best mate, we have known each other since kids and were friends before we were a couple. I would choose a holiday with her over a holiday with mates, 100 times out of a hundred. That said she isnt too enamoured with Vegas these days so its Nashville next year.

It's everything you'd expect really cheese and bacon burgers dribbling with fat .... Heaven in a bun I had one of the 100% fat milkshakes as well , pretty much a tub of butter with some sugar and flavour added to it Didn't check out the "fat bastard" wine though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Staying in the aria when I head out. Anyone been there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Any of the big hotels is always going to be nice. Aria is fairly new but you don't want to be spending much time in your room anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Harte Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Not long got back from Vegas for the second time (greedy, eh?). Place is as nuts as ever. Stayed at the Bellagio this time. Would recommend Blue Man Group at the Monte Carlo for a show and Helicopter to the Grand Canyon as an excursion. Oh, and I won $500 on the slots one morning.

bully Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 My second visit is fast approaching at the end of this month. We are also staying at the Bellagio. I got some free tickets to watch O from the lighting booth, it will be different! We did the Canyon first time around and it is something I will never forget. Cant wait!!!
