Las Vegas Dining and Drinks as Cheap as it Gets
Las Vegas, my favorite destination doesn't have to cost a
fortune. I would consider myself a sharp spender, good with my
money... Ok I will admit it I am CHEAP! Over the years I have
found some great deals in Las Vegas. Lets start out with my
favorite, food.
The cheapest food is found in downtown Las Vegas. I usually
start out with a $.99 shrimp cocktail at The Golden Gate Casino
downtown. This has been a favorite for years and was recently
featured on the travel channel. The casino takes a loss on this
one, granted they get it all back at the tables!
Next up on our menu is Steak and Lobster for dinner, or lunch,
or even breakfast depending on if you sleep or not. The best
deal on this is $7.77 at the Plaza. I also get it at Careful
Kity's in The El Cortez down the road. It tastes a little better
there, and will run you a whopping $9.99 24 hours a day.
Another great dinner choice is not downtown but on the strip.
San Remo's across from the MGM on Tropicana has a great prime
rib dinner. $5.99 will get you prime rib, baked potato, bread
and a dinner salad. The cut of prime rib isn't huge but its an
excellent deal at 6 bucks!
Back downtown for breakfast. The Las Vegas Club's UpperDeck
diner has a steak and egg breakfast, with hashbrowns and toast
for $2.99. And it is really good.
Buffet Time...There are some great buffets in Vegas, but the
great ones are expensive. The best in my opinion is the Spice
Market buffet but that will run you 20-30 bucks. Were on a
budget so try the buffet at The Gold Coast $6.99, great
selectiona and great food.
Now for the drinks, you have to drink in Las Vegas! My method is
this- never pay for a drink. If you are gambling they are free.
So don't gamble to get a free drink, because its not free if you
drop a hundred bucks at the tables. If you are going to gamble
anyway then drink away. A great way to get some free drinks is
to play the sportbook. You can sit sown with a program, and make
a bet or two, or NONE! and get your drinks there. Just remember
to take care of the cocktail waitress and she will take care of
you.
Enjoy your next trip to Las Vegas....
