Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread

Just curious from the locals, but is Kaizen across from the Hard Rock any good for sushi? Never seen it mentioned here, but I've been there twice with a local and thought it was decent and reasonable. Of course, I was pretty lit both times so my memories may be inaccurate.

Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread

Very useful thread which would be improved for those of us who only visit Vegas once every 18 months or so, by stating where these places actually are (especially, if they are on the strip, by stating which casino they are in or near).

Yeah, Steak and Shake's shakes are amazing (haven't tried one in South Point). I don't understand why there is a line there all the time. It's fast food. And their fries are buttsauce.

Zine at palazzo? I thought that was casual and I've gone there about 5 times in the last 3 Vegas trips I taken. Most bills for 2 people under $50 and in Vegas I consider that casual.

Did you try the elkburger? My folks, and others, have sung the praises of elk. But the timing of when I've been there has never aligned with being able to try it.

A big part of "casual dining" is quick, convenient, and inexpensive eating. It doesn't matter if it's in a chain. I don't go to Vegas to eat strange, I go for other reasons.

Re: Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread

Also there are some chains that people in certain part of the country don't have and they can only experience them in Vegas. Also there are some chains that Vegas doesn't have that are frickin awesome and I wish they had (chick-fil-a, and to a much lesser extent five guys).
