Just a head's up about the 2-1 buffets obtained with MyVegas game - when you present your voucher or code they will automatically charge you for the buffet plus drinks unless you specify to them at the cashier that you only want soft drinks or tea/coffee.
Not a problem if you want to drink but at lunch I just want the food and a coffee.
So you expect to pay say $23 or so for a brunch buffet, suddenly becomes $40 or more even if you don't want to drink.

If you are a drinker then go for it because it will cover 2 people.
Recently ordered a Mimosa which is supposed to be fizz and orange juice - I got white wine with Fanta Orange providing the fizz - I kid you not:D

We went to The Steakhouse at Circus Cicus years ago when it was recommended. It was just OK, but nowhere near as good as people had been saying so never felt the need to go back.

Envy and BLT are good for the money if you get a Groupon, but I really liked Gallagher's. Went to Gordon Ramsay Steak days before it officially opened and again the following year, but haven't gone back.

Thanks for the heads up. May be useful to anyone going soon.

Neither of us are big drinkers so avoid all the drinks offers. That is shocking to get white wine and Fanta orange. Where did that happen at? I've never understood the attraction of mimosas / Buck's Fizz, but then I didn't like fizzy drinks full stop, not even good champagne.

Another vote for Gallaghers in New York, New York, I always stop there for a steak when i'm in Vegas, years ago I had a 40th birthday meal at Craftsteak in MGM Grand which was amazing, tried again last time I was there and not as good as I remembered.

Ladies and Gents, its our first time in Vegas although not our first time in the USA and we want a good steak, my husband is particularly smitten with a prime rib. Anyone got any suggestions as to where we can find such a beast?

Thanks in advance.

This might be worth a try if you don't mind the drive/Uber

Think it was the Mirage buffet.

By far the best steak house in vegas is still SW at the wynn, it is ALWAYS flawless, but you will pay!

Absolutely 100% agree that for prime rib go to Lawry's.

So that was an interesting night.
7.1 magnitude earthquake in southern California.
We were in our room on 18th floor of Vdara - the whole thing shaking and swaying for 40 seconds. Safe to say we s##t ourselves!
