Tugglife2 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'll be in Vegas next week and have only been once before. Where are some cheap places to grab a quick bite? I discovered some cheap options in O'Shea's last time. Any other recommendations? Link to post Share on other sites
chrozzo 19 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King...or just eat the $1.99 breakfast special all day long Link to post Share on other sites
Tugglife2 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I didn't stray off the strip last time and was suckered into spending more money at the restaurants than I wanted to. I'd rather not eat fast food exclusively for 4 days straight, but I'm also on a fairly tight budget. Link to post Share on other sites

Where are you staying and where do you plan to be most often during your trip? Need those details to give you decent advice.also, check out cheapovegas.com Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be spending most of my time here and in the central strip area in general. I'll probably be hanging out at the Rio as well to check out the action.Thanks for the advice.

Burger Palace at the IP is ok. you are really in a bad part of the strip for cheap food sorry! Link to post Share on other sites

It's not on the menu, you just ask for it.EI is about a block east of the Strip, behind Bally's. Link to post Share on other sites
bleacherbum3 9 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Also, not super cheap but pretty reasonable:If you want a great burger cooked to order, I'd recommend Le Burger Brasserie at Paris. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Mmmmm, Noodles at the Venetian. It's not that much, I would eat there everyday. Link to post Share on other sites
fryer98 30 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 There used to be a Subway at the front of the IP, not sure if it's still there. Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 8 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Mmmmm, Noodles at the Venetian. It's not that much, I would eat there everyday.This. I love the place. Only a few steps from the awesome Venetian poker room. I have had a few noodle dishes and dim sum and they were all really good. My favorite is XO Shrimp Lai Fen(yea I had to go look its name up just now). Big shrimp and chilli sauce with these stubby rice noodles. I think it was $16 and one of the most expensive things on the menu.Also In' N Out Burger is awesome at any price but the $6 for a Double Double combo is sick value. Lots of the run down joints have cheap eats to get you in. I just read the Sahara has brought back $1 BJ and have $1 hot dogs and beers to go with it. I like to eat at some of the high end restraunts in town but the Venetian noodle bar and In N out are always a must at least once per trip. Link to post Share on other sites

In N Out is the best fast food in the world. Link to post Share on other sites
Tugglife2 0 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 I think I will try the noodle place by the Venetian poker room.Also, where is In-N-Out in relation to the Venetian? I've heard a lot of good things about this place from people I know on the west coast. Link to post Share on other sites

zoo 0 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Chipotle (sp?) somewhere around Harrahs by McDonalds. Cheap, good and plenty filling.Grand Lux in Venetian if you are dining with someone else. Get the fried chicken and feed 3 people with it.Subway is in O'Shea's I think. Link to post Share on other sites
chrozzo 19 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 if you eat the Grand Lux........get the scampi...the sauce they are in......ORGASMIC!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

mtdesmoines 3 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Take a couple boxes of cereal with you.Eat that for breakfast and lunch. Go out someplace nice once a day with the entire days' food budget.You'll have a much better time. Link to post Share on other sites
Tugglife2 0 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 That isn't a bad idea re: taking the cereal with me.Part of the problem for me last time was that walking up and down the strip, I don't remember seeing too many fast food/cheap restaurants. I remember Fatburger and that's about it. Most of the cheaper food court type stuff is in the resorts themselves so I had a tough time finding things. Link to post Share on other sites

bleacherbum3 9 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 WHA'?!?!True, I heard they did bring back $1 BJ in the party pit. Problem is, blackjacks only pay 6:5 instead of 3:2, so if you're betting less than $5, you only get even money on blackjacks.If you were interested in a hooker sucking you off for $1, please disregard this post.
