/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I've been to Vegas dozens of times and I've never been impressed with the food
The buffets are the only novelty there

Get Dole Whip.
Save money by buying alcohol from the Walgreens and CVSs that are on the strip.

>>15217168
Really? okay, are there any west coast restaurants we should try? fast food or otherwise?

>>15217192
Nah, not really. Depends on what’s open. The Cosmopolitan has the best lunch counter food in my opinion. If you want fancy sit down try the Wynn and the things on that side.

>>15216968
White castle and Raisin canes. They are both bad for you but so delicious.

>>15216968
Jollibee unironically

Lotus of Siam

Vegas has In-in-Out, you can try it to see how overrated it is.

Don’t fall for buffets. That anon probably didn’t bother trying a decent restaurant. Yellowtail in Bellagio is great as well as Top of The World in Stratosphere. Bouchon in the Venetian is good and Delmonico is outstanding. They also had a tasty South American restaurant in the Venetian. Blue Ribbon Sushi and STK in Cosmopolitan are great. The seafood was incredibly fresh at the former compared with your typical sushi restaurant that’s not on the California coast. Cabo Wabo Cantina at Planet Hollywood is more casual and has excellent American Mexican food - not at all like the typical slop o shit Mexican restaurants. Also you can enjoy great people watching there. For ultra fast casual, I though Gordon Ramsey’s fish and chips place in the Linq area was good. Don’t do something dumb like go to McDonalds, Margaritaville, Bubba Gump, or the lowest price restaurants tucked in food courts. Those will leave you thinking the food there has nothing special to offer. Look on OpenTable.com and find something unique with good reviews.

Check out Le Thai. It's in the downtown area.

RIP in piece Vegas buffets. A Vegas sushi buffet was the only actually good sushi buffet I've ever been to. Ate 40 pieces of nigiri.

Todai? I miss them

Caesars palace buffet. Nacho daddy. Chinese food off the strip in China Town. That's just what comes off the top of my head.

>slop o shit Mexican restaurants
Most of those slop o shit restaurants are mexican-american.

Eggslut for a cheap hangover brekkie

No traveling. Wear your mask everywhere, even inside your own house when home alone.

>>15216968
Vegas has a Chinatown district with a lot of different asian cuisine options, there's always the celebrity chef traps at the strip hotels
Lots of mexican options, you should do the tacos el gordo thing at least once on a trip to Vegas
If you want a steak dinner go to the steakhouse at circus circus.

>>15216968
you can check if "all you can vegas" made a video about a place but obviously dont give a shit about his taste. Just watch if the food looks good

>>15218055
That’s what I meant. I’ve had plenty of real Mexican food as well as west coast American Mexican food and those are usually much better than the slop o shit I’ve been experiencing on the east coast and flyover states. Some restaurants throw Kraft singles over the refried beans and don’t bother to blend or melt it in. Truly disgusting. I miss Cabo Wabo. They have great shrimp and tuna ceviche.

Why would you go to Vegas? It's where white trash goes on vacation now because they think they are glamorous.

> Hot as fuck, easily 120F in the summer
> Everybody overcharges for everything
> Buffets will be dead due to COVID
> Gambling likely dead due to COVID
> Homeless bums on every street begging for gambling/booze/drug money
> No whores
> Everything is corporately owned, even the restaurants.

So I guess In-N-Out, and then get on a plane to someplace interesting, you fucking faggot. I hate Vegas.

>>15216968
you should seriously try Jerma's House
it's dinner and a show

All really great suggestions guys, this gives us a lot to think about!

While the thread is still alive, are there any other attractions I should check out? food or otherwise? Obviously mostly everything is closed, but so far I'm gonna try to hit some of the comedy clubs and the zipline that goes across the strip. what else?

>>15219770
Atomic testing museum though it is closed until jan 2nd https://nationalatomictestingmuseum.org/

Sunday at Bally's one of the restaurants is converted to STERLING BRUNCH. STERLING BRUNCH is all you can eat seafood (including lobster) and unlimited real French champagne. About $120 a plate if I remember correctly, but always a good time.

Best casino buffet is probably The Wynn buffet. Lines at the casino buffets can be terrible and they're pricey. If you just want to eat a lot for less, there was (at least a few years ago was) a good Korean BBQ place on the strip with an all you can eat option. It's the only all you can eat place I've been to where they actually encouraged me to eat more meat.

A couple of my friends raved about this place, I haven't checked it out though.

>>15219032
I go to Vegas a few times a year for big boxing and UFC events.

Vegas actually has some good Japanese food. There is a curry place and a Udon place that were really good last time we went.

We go a lot because we have family there. The strip sucks unless it is your first time. There are some great hikes around also the Hoover dam is not far and is an interesting thing to see.

There is also a ski resort, Lee Canyon, that is not amazing but still pretty fun if you wanted to do a few runs.

I can't imagine Vegas during or even post covid would be the same as before...

Herbs and rye steakhouse
Tacos el gordo

Enjoy your covid

Maybe stop being a poor salty faggot.

Sammy Hagar's food places suck

I like to go see the botanical gardens in bellagio every few months. Sometimes the theme is underwhelming but it’s usually incredible and it’s free. The high roller is neat as a local since you have the chance to see local Las Vegas from the ride but you might enjoy going to stratosphere more. The restaurant turns while you eat and gives you free admission to the viewing deck when you eat there. The treasure island volcano is a fun display to watch if it’s still running. They have been reducing the show times a lot over the past several years. Generally walking through the Fremont street experience is a lot of fun. I don’t care much for that area overall, but I always take visitors there to revel in the seedier side of Vegas tourism. Opium is a really unique variety show themed in outer space and created by the same company as absinthe.

Don’t you dare diss Cabo Wabo. They have great carnitas and literally the best fried chicken sandwich I’ve had.

>>15219770
Go to Frankies Tiki Room. No food, only drinks. Great late-late night spot

Shooting machine guns is cool if you can't do that where you are from

El Cortez has old school coin slots (although im not sure if they are doing that, or if you'd even want to do that right now)

If you are driving in from the south west I wound stop in Primm for the Bonnie and Clyde 'exhibit'

Vegas fag here Pho Kim Long, fukumimi ramen

It's made for boomer taste buds anyway
