Cheap Eats at the Plaza

By , About.com Guide

The Plaza in Downtown Las Vegas:
This is an old School Casino in Downtown Las Vegas right at the end of Fremont street. The cafe still has old school prices.
Steak and Lobster $9.99:
The two lobster tails are a little on the small side but in some restaurants they would charge you $20 just for the lobster. The dinner rolls are worth the price of the meal they are so good.
Prime Rib $7.99:
It was a little dry but the size of this piece of meat was impressive. Some retaurnats charge you $3.50 for iced tea, at this price I can deal with the dry meat.
BBQ Ribs $6.49:
It's not a huge slab but at six bucks what would you expect?
Fish and Chips $7.99:
This was a good meal even if it seemed just a bit over priced relative to waht else was offered. A little greasy but thats what made it good.
Spaghetti $5.99:
You cannot get this meal anywhere else in town for the price. The plaza has to be losing money on food, so go get some.
Is it worth it?:
Is the food worth the price of a cab ride Downtown? Probably not, but if you decide to see old Las Vegas and take in the Fremont Experience then you owe it to yourself to walk in and get a cheap meal the way it use to be. Las Vegas was once the cheap eating capital of the world and downtown still can compete. Get your self an inexpensive meal.
