Las Vegas Strip hotels

We are going to Vegas and staying in the Bellagio. Was wondering what is the restaurants like in the hotel as we are celebrating a special occasion and may just eat there

Also how much is the buffet ?

There is also a good thread over in Boards for Vegas Here
 
Seems one can get very cheap hotel rates. How much are the hotel buffets and can one eat in a different hotel where you are not staying?
 
Where i stayed it was $9.29 for all you could eat ( piled on about 2 stone )

And yeah you can walk into any hotel.

Just one word of advice the steakhouse at the circus circus is meant to have won best restaurant for the past 19 years.......my bum it has, it was rotten, so dont go there.
 
i stayed in the luxor. really nice and at the start of the strip. Circus Circus is a dump dont go near it. Its also at the wrong end of the strip. Anywhere at the start of the strip(luxor end and middle is fine. The other end is not very nice at all

I found the food pretty expensive in Vegas, about 40 usd for a steak and not fantastic food.Try the Wynn breakfast buffet if you get chance
(about 30 usd) on the sunday -that was my best meal.
Breakfast buffet in bellagio was 15 usd -It was pretty good espcially considering everything else in the bellagio was very overpriced. 4usd for water 4 for a cup of coffee.
Eating out hmmm I liked the food in the paris hotel across the way and it wasn't badly priced,
Also Joes seafood was fairly good
 
If you're there with your partner, I recommend the Bellagio. With a gang of lads/girls I'd go for New York New York...it's very central, cheaper, and has a good mixture of bars/clubs plus you can easily get to the MGM Grand etc. The Hard Rock (although off Strip) is a great place to hang out and booze. For a nice meal out, I'd give Olives in the Bellagio a go.
 
For those who have done the helicopter trip to Grand Canyon - is it very bumpy for someone prone to travel sickness? I went to Grand Canyon years ago on small plane (about 10/12 seater ) and was really sick cos he flew up and down into the canyon......do the helicopters do this?
 
MGM a great hotel but the casino is massive; other problem it is a good walking distance from the centre of the strip i.e. Bellagio, Cesars Palace etc.

www.vegas.com is a great website to find out about shows, tours, book cheap accommodation etc.

I would definitely go to the gun range; about 2miles from the strip. You literally go in and choose your weapon (anything from a pistol to an AK47) buy the magazines of rounds. Think it was $35 for a magazine of 30 rounds for a M16.
 
Have been there a few times and for value for money you cant beat the Mirage, i taught it was better than the Bellagio and half the price. They have renovated rooms. Also stayed in the Venetian and for the price they have the biggest rooms as standard.
 
i went to the imperial palace and was nice but not as plush as MGN or Venetian but cheap, central, and good for beginner gamblers.

i was aware of the hotels being large and plush but i have to say the Venetian really did blow me away, it is a mixture of ancient rome and futuristic shopping mall
 
Any ideas on the best way to get to Vegas? We are going there for a wedding and are now looking up flights.
