Well there's one side of it...someone else just told me that it was among the worst burgers he has had in Vegas.

I am going to be driving through Vegas tomorrow night and want to try some Korean Barbecue. What is the best Korean BBQ place in Vegas?

Ok thanks. If price isn't an issue (how expensive can Kbbq be?) what is the most delicious place?

I've been twice in the past year. Both times I thought overall the food was very good. The onion rings are better than all the fries options IMO, I thought the shoestring fries were a little greasy both times. The shakes are awesome, I've tasted two that others ordered. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from Cosmopolitan: fun, loud, busy, etc. However the service was about a C- both times, and once the waitress really pissed off the girl I was with.

Thanks. Yeah sounds good, I'm gonna give it a shot. Which of the shakes did you have? I was thinking of going with the drunken monkey. I'm a huge pumpkin pie fan, so that one is also getting consideration.

They were both minty, one like a girl scout cookie thin mint and then like a candy cane. I don't remember the names. Onion rings tho. Get them!

Agree all around with TTs review overall. Although I found the service to be a little better than C-, but certainly not A worthy.

The mint one is the Grasshopper which is pretty good, and the other one is called the Candycane IIRC, but not sure. AmusedLOL had the Candycane when we went. Drunken Monkey was pretty good but only had a bite of my GFs. My hands down favorites were the Smores and the Cereal Bowl. I wanted to try the Pumpkin Pie but did not have the opportunity. They have all been really good so it is really just a matter of personal preference. I read ITT that I had to try the Smores so that is what I started with and I was very impressed, so I lean toward starting there. And yea the onion rings were stellar.

I was there Thursday. Def recommend. If you want to modify the standard burger from the descriptions on the menu, be very clear as they seem to have trouble with that. Otherwise very good.

Re-entering this thread to say that the al pastor burrito at Pepe's Tacos is incredibly good. Always wished Tacos el Gordo sold burritos....now I can just go to Pepe's for my burrito filled with spicy pork sliced off a rotating spit needs.

QFT. This applies to anywhere imo

I would agree with these rankings for places that I have been to... Never been to Gordon Ramsay BurGR yet.

What do others think of the Burger Brasserie, in the walkway between Ballys and Paris? I have been there about 4 times and always had a very good burger (fries are so/so)... I think their Kobi burgers are great.

Wondering what the current view is on Shibuya as a place for teppanyaki? If there are other choices on the strip for teppanyaki, what are they and what do people think about them?

I know there is a Benihana in LVH and I've never been there, but not sure I want to do a chain.

As a addendum to my post above, how is the lobster and crab at Shibuya? I promised the fiancee one nice dinner while we're there and she immediately thought of lobster and crab.

I wouldn't call Shibuya casual

Have you been to Musashi?

EDIT: Oh I wouldn't take your fiance to Musashi if you're looking for a nice dinner :x

I put my question here as opposed to fine dining because MGM puts Shibuya in the category of Speciality Dining and not Fine Dining. True, it's not in the Casual Dining category either but the dress is shown as Resort Casual.

Are you saying Musashi is bad or it's way more than a nice place? In this case, a nice meal means our escaping for somewhere around $250 not including tip.

I was thinking about Shibuya as opposed to Musashi because I couldn't quite figure out where Musashi is and there doesn't seem to be a Musashi website.

Musashi is a dive and dirt cheap but in the same vein as both places and outright better than Benihana. Probably not what you're looking for though.

Dirt cheap is definitely not what we're looking for. I guess I'll post in fine dining.

I don't think you can call a place with $60 entrees dirt cheap.

I liked Osaka Sushi. Little bit off the strip but it was good.

Wha? VIP meal is an exception to what would otherwise be dirt cheap

Actually don't know what you're referring to that's $60 think vip is 100~, but you can get a very large amount at food at $30pp.
