Restaurant Review: Eating Cheaply at Las Vegas Buffets

traveltripz — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 06:45:44 +0000

Eating in Las Vegas is a great experience. Not only is the food of excellent quality but you can feed yourself for a very reasonable price, especially, if you eat at one of the many buffets in the casinos. We have eaten at quite a few buffets in Las Vegas and found that even the cheapest of them provide delicious food. The difference between the more expensive buffets and the cheaper ones seems to relate more to the amount of choice rather than in the quality of the dishes. Here are some of the buffets we ate at and our...

Restaurant Review: Plaza Hotel Lucky 7′s Buffet – Las Vegas

traveltripz — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:51:52 +0000

During our stay at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casinowe ate at the Plaza Hotel and Casino’s buffet on numerous occasions for both breakfast and dinner. The buffet is well known in downtown Las Vegas as it is one of the cheapest buffets available and people from many different hotels come here to eat for this reason. Whether you are having breakfast, lunch or dinner at the buffet it is always the same price at only $7.77. We decided to give it a go after heading to the Golden Nugget buffet and finding that because it was a Saturday we could...

Restaurant Review: Dining at the Tusayan Cafe – Grand Canyon Arizona

traveltripz — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 19:30:32 +0000

There is a great little cafe in Tusayan called, funnily enough the Tusayan Café. It is found two miles south of the entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park on Highway 64. The service is very good and the staff are pleasant, helpful and friendly. This is a typical roadside café with paper napkins and placemats. It is clean and presentable with paintings of the Grand Canyon on the walls. The food at the Tusayan Café is well presented and delicious. We had missed breakfast at the hotel so stopped by before heading into the Grand Canyon National Park and...

Restaurant Review: Dining at the Grand Canyon – El Tovar and Bright Angel Lodge

Paula — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 19:12:54 +0000

During our stay at the Grand Canyon we ate at both the the El Tovar Restaurant and the Arizona Room at the Bright Angel Restaurant. The El Tovar restaurant is apparently world renowed although after eating breakfast here I am sure it is not because of the quality of its food. Maybe lunch and dinner are better but our breakfast was just plain terrible. It is the first bad meal we have had during our trip to the US so far. We both ordered the two egg breakfast with bacon and fried potatoes which came with a strawberry on the...

Dinner at Johnny Rockets Restaurant Hollywood

Wanda — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 05:52:10 +0000

We had dinner at the Johnny Rocket restaurant in Hollywood and Highlands. What a great place to eat. The decor is reminiscent of the 1940′s and 1950′s with it’s red leather seating and chrome accents on the tables. Each booth has a tabletop jukebox that plays tunes for a nickel (5cents). There are also full bottles of ketchup provided free of charge although each order of fries comes with a paper plate on which the staff have made a smiley face of ketchup. The staff are dressed in the attire of the period and are extremely friendly and accommodating, the...
