as someone who grew up in Chinatown nyc area (meaning I have been to at least 20 Malaysian restaurants in the 212) , I gotta say the curry laksa at lala noodles at park mgm is phenomenal ,awesome flavors. i always get it with an extra side of broth (they don't charge for that ) and it always blows me away.

Thanks for good, actionable information.

Somehow I’ve never been there despite playing at Aria hundreds of times. Will add it to the list, food looks solid.

yeah just go to the bar area in the middle of the restaurant and Patrick will hook you up .

I get 400 a month in dining credit so I definitely make my rounds around mgm properties .

We are there for Sunday brunch once every 3-4 weeks. They just have at least six of our favorite dishes in vegas, croque madame is just perfect imo, that has been my favorite brunch item for 20 years.

Sea bass and carne asada tacos from Toca, think they were something like $16 and $18 on Tuesday special menu. $10 guac too but didn’t grab a pic. Cocktails $12-15 on Tuesdays at the bar too, basically all day happy hour. Makes it dirt cheap with the InKind app savings factored in. Total bill for 2 orders of tacos plus guac and two sodas = $52

How exactly does this work? Are there a lot of restaurants in Vegas participating? I only see 10 or so restaurants in Vegas on the website.

I got a year free of it with my AMEX card, and there just aren't that many participating places, but I'll def use it this summer at Toca!

I looked into InKind for this past trip to save $50 at Sparrow + Wolf, but it didn't seem worth the minor effort, especially considering only one restaurant within an hour's drive from me is supported by the app.

BTW, I'm sure it's been mentioned, but the best meal deal I've found on the strip is Ocean One in the Miracle Mile shops. There was no line at 4 p.m. on Friday when we walked by so we sat at the bar and had a great meal. Tuna tartare, calamari, wings, a cheap piece of steak with fantastic mashed potatoes and good vegetables, four glasses of bad wine, two large Bailey's with 20% tip was $62! I tipped the bartender another $5, and without asking he poured us another huge glass of Bailey's.

There's like 10 restaurants in Vegas that take it with the two best being Sparrow and Wolf and Toca Madera. Restaurants like Bazaar Meat and Mother Wolf take it in LA so hopefully they'll get added to the Vegas list eventually. Since I play at Aria all the time it's been great using it at Toca. They constantly send offers for discounted meals like $50 off $150, last month they gave me $100 off $100 dinner coupon, and you can buy "credit" at discounted rates. The normal credits are something like $250 for $300 worth of food, but they also send out promos occasionally like the one I used the other day with 30-50% bonus amounts, usually for larger purchases. They also have "challenges" like using the app twice in a month and getting 10-20% credit back on the bill for future use. Even without buying the credits you can get like 15% in credit back for future use on all purchases.

The best deal they were offering was $4000 worth of credit for $2500, but would take me a while to use up that much. Great deal for a large group though. The app is super easy to use, you just tell the server you're paying with the app, enter the check number, use your credit, and tip goes separately on a credit card. Where else can you get 30-50% off the food at a high end strip restaurant?

neat idea, I'll probably look again in a few months to see if there is more variety.

After seeing the food that was served to other people I didn’t eat my order, and my wife was throwing up hours later. Do not on any planet ever eat there!

Weird. I've eaten there on two trips and both times the food was good and neither my husband nor I got sick -- and we ate tuna tartare (it was really good on a bed of avocado) and calamari (also really good).

Sorry it was a bad experience for you, but I will go back.

I've eaten there a bunch and never had a problem

Go at your own peril at some point you will be sick that place is absolutely disgusting. I’m also same person who told you sparrow and wolf is not very good despite what everyone else in this thread seems to think.

You were right about Sparrow + Wolf.

Why do you think it's disgusting? I know your wife got sick, but that happens. Did you see the kitchen? Was there something rotten, gross, etc.? Just curious. I've worked in a lot of restaurants, so I know what can go on in a kitchen -- even "fine dining." If most people knew, they'd never eat out!

I have eaten meals that would make most people ill, too, so I'm probably going to be OK -- I'll let this thread know if my husband is ever affected at Ocean One

Honestly I’m with you, it’s tough to make me sick and easy to make my wife sick, with that said the quality of the food as I walked in the restaurant looked worse than a chilis, and if we weren’t meeting a cheap couple I would have left. I didn’t even trust anything but ordering some neat bourbon because the sweet drinks were nasty too.

Vegas no longer is a good place for value, but there are better cheap options than this. Sorry I just never expected to see this place in this thread, and I would argue just about anything else is a better alternative.

Went to the Toddy Shop popup at Parlour for their fried chicken Friday, the chicken is incredibly good. Tandoori fried, great seasoning/sauce/crust. Very highly recommend, will probably go back next week to try the other kind they have. Great sides too, the cassava one in particular was a standout. Almost tasted like a Tom Kha soup with perfectly cooked potato/cassava and much thicker than a soup. Kinda hard to describe but it was great.

Went to check out Pat’s Patties food truck, someone in my game the other day said it was the best burger they’ve ever had. Line was long, took 45 minutes to order. Burger was top tier smash burger style.

Got the Oklahoma style with onions smashed into the burger. Definitely great quality, not sure if best ever or worth waiting an hour when Yukon has no wait but I would def eat it again: $13 for double burger.

They sold out by like 7pm the last few days so go early if you want one.

wj94 I appreciate your posts fwiw...incredible meals you've been finding...yum!

wow... those last two food posts look amazing!

They were better than the pictures look too. Been meaning to check out both for a while now and finally got around to them.

Too many good places to eat around here. I’ve been here 12 years and still have a laundry list of spots I want to try.

WJ94-how did you find out about the popup for the fried tandoori chicken? Those pics look amazing. I’m planning to get out to Vegas in the next few months and would love to try it.

I’ve been following their IG for a while, it’s currently every Friday at Parlour. @toddyshopusa is the IG tag
