This past October was our first time to go there as well.

Realize that reasonable in Vegas isn't the same as reasonable in a lot of other cities. For example I like the hamburgers at The Burger Joint in the Flamingo. Some people may think their prices are high for a burger - but its a dadgum good burger!

The Harley cafe is really good home style cooking in LARGE portions. As I recall each of our dinners cost around $ 15.00 per plate.

I only went to 2 buffets - both breakfast. The Flamingo's was quite extensive with it's selections and very good however the service was awful. Waited forever for a bloody mary and a couple of times I wanted to just get up and go get my own damn coffee.

Caesars champagne breakfast buffet was awesome but had a small selection of extremely quality food. The wait staff was most attentive. IMHO it was WELL worth the money.

Margaritaville breakfast was good.

Other than that I really can't remember where else we ate. hmmmmmmm

In and Out Burgers for great hamburgers and fries

The Cafe (can't remember name on the 3rd level) of all places Circus Circus.. They have a dinner prime rib... I think it is 14.95 for all you can eat or 12.95 for a regular dinner!!

There is a mexican restuarant at the Palms that is also very good!!

[Glorfindel7]

For the songs, don't forget to add Never Been to Spain (one verse is "Well I headed for Las Vegas...only made it out to Needles")

For the places to eat, there's three good eateries in the Mirage:
California Pizza Kitchen (this is my favorite)
BB Kings
BLT Burger

BB Kings has a very good breakfast menu, and some pretty good Chicken Gumbo in the evenings.

The Pizza place in the Mirage is good and also the meals at the Nine Fine Irishmen bar in the New York are really nice.
