Agreed.

Pho Thang Wong is probably top 10 as well (certainly ahead of In-N-Out and everything else on that list).

Not under $10 probably, but this made it occur to me that I haven't given the dim sum place on Decatur between Trop and Flamingo any love. That place is great. It's FILLED with Asians, and never has white people which is how you know it's amazing. Don't remember the name. It has a green roof.

For those trying to google, it's actually called Pho Thanh Huong. You can get their food delivered on Roadrunner.

The place on Decatur is Chang's Hong Kong Cuisine.

I second ZJ's recommendation of both these places.

Five Guys recently opened their first area location in Henderson, but another one is scheduled to open closer to the Strip in the Outlet mall on LV Blvd about 3 miles south of Mandalay Bay.

I really haven't gotten out as much as I should have while I've been here, but trying to change that now, but Fuddruckers is always, and most likely, will stay a go to for me.

I realize I'm late to the burger party here, but I'm heading to Vegas again in July and have been perusing this thread for new food ideas.

My favorite burger place on the strip is Le Burger Brasserie in the shops between Bally's and Paris. You can get their classic angus beef burger (medium rare obv) with al a carte toppings. I get mine with sauteed spinach, goat cheese and crab meat.

Yes, it's weird, but I'm a weird guy, and I'm telling you it's a YUM.

Also, if your GF/wife are in tow, their salads are awesome as well.

I humbly pray at the feet of the great augie_ and beg for forgiveness. Burger Bar it is! I got bra and bar mixed up... my bad.

btw, not trying to say that it's horrible food or anything, just that it's miserable compared to the similarly priced burger at burger bar

I sincerely love your input in the dining threads augie_, especially the sushi advice. That is why I mainly read, and don't post much. Thanks again for the tip.

Holstein's is ok imo.

I love burgers in the Palazzo is really pretty poor and very expensive.

I wanted to get breakfast at Hash House this morning at about 10.30h. There were at least 30 people waiting outside. Is this standard?

It definitely does belong in the fine dining thread, but I disagree with your assessment- I think it's just as good (if not better) than the other steakhouses in it's range.

Yes.... The earlier the better for that place.

As lines go the off strip line is usually shorter than the IP HHAGG line.

not sure, but i saw fukuburger tweeted something about doing deliveries at the WSOP so long as you tell them your room and table # and the order is over $20. dunno if its everyday or just that one day, hopefully TT or someone can clarify.

also, i just found out that the slider truck has an 'hq' that is open 24 hrs on weekends. info here.

That makes me sad. None in any reasonable place of California and none in LV! How is that possible?

Well, as I mentioned before, if you've been to Sizzler, you're not really missing out on much wrt Golden Corral. There was a GC in my little hometown in AZ.

IMO Golden Corral is disgusting except maybe for breakfast. I think the reason there are not any here is that there are quite a few locals casinos that offer an identical quality buffets for a better price. It would be hard to bring in a standalone, lower end buffet, and compete with the lower end casino buffets.

Remember has to include steak, BBQ ribs, the awesome GC salad bar and those delicious desserts. That chocolate cake is unbeatable.

BTW, I'm willing to say that different locations may offer different experiences. I loved the St. George UT, Yuma AZ and Western PA locations.

I am coming down the WSOP flu and could use some really good matzoh ball soup. The best matzoh ball soup I found in LV was from the Caesars poker room menu a while back (I don't play there anymore).

Any recommendations?
