25 Places to Eat for Under Twenty-five in Las Vegas

By Zeke Quezada, About.com

Before I was married my wife was the type of person who ate very small portions, it was always easy to share a meal and not spend too much cash on food. Well, as many will testify, put a ring on her finger and now she can eat anything in sight. The problem is she now makes me run a few miles each day so that I can keep up with her eating habits.

So, I need to find those locations around town where a little less money is needed to have a quality meal with that special person I choose to spend my life with. Hope you save some cash as well. There are actually 31 and truthfully, I could have fit in a few more as well.

Important to note, if you are looking to be frugal while in Las Vegas consider the choice of hotel when making a decision on your Las Vegas vacation. Do a little research and compare room rates before booking. You might save enough to have a very expensive Las Vegas meal.

Is it also a last minute idea? Don’t worry. Check out these last minute deals. Now, take your time and find the right prices. If you are diligent and patient you’ll find the right deal, the best vacation package and you’ll have the time of your life.

Mandalay Bay

1. Caffe Giorgio located in the Mandalay Place offers up pizza’s and pasta for a reasonable price. By yourself, you will easily fall under $25, if you’re with somebody split a pizza and have iced tea and you should still get out cheap.
2. House of Blues, at the Mandalay Bay. My idea of a great cheap meal: A bowl of House of Blues gumbo and a The Caprese Sandwich that includes Mozzarella, Roma Tomatoes, Roasted Pepper Relish on Toasted French Bread with Pasta Salad

Also try, Burger Bar, The Deli at the Sports Book

Luxor

3. Backstage deliat the Luxor Hotel. It’s simple and easy and open for a large portion of the day. You can get a cheap bagel sandwich to start the day or have a decent sized club sandwich for lunch at around $10
My wife loves the $9 Cobb salad and my kids can split a $3 hot dog.

Also, La Salsa

Excalibur

4. Regale Italian Eatery at the Excalibur. Family style eating is the best way to go, grab a huge portion of Spaghetti and meat sauce or the sausage and peppers. The kids will eat and there might be enough for your mother-in–law to try to sneak in a free meal.

Also, Food Court on the second floor, Hot Dogs, Crispy Cream, Pizza, McDonalds.

MGM Grand has plenty of fantastic high end restaurants but it also has a few great places to save a buck on good food.
5. witchcraft,this is a deli with a large dose of adrenaline, everything is kicked up to another level. Have anything with red meat and you will realize that sandwiches do not have to be simple packages of quick fast food. A brief culinary experience awaits you in any of their sandwiches and if you are smart, you take some extra bread just so that you can “munch” on it the rest of the day.
6. Rainforest Café,This is easily one of the most surprising restaurants in Las Vegas for me. The breakfast menu is very good and very affordable. Stay away from the steak and eggs, it will be come an addiction.
7. Stage Deli. Your best bet at the Stage deli is a bowl of soup and a big piece of crusty bread. Well, toss in a beer as well and you are set for way under $25.

The New York/New York Hotel and Casino offers plenty of good eating choices and a fair amount of options when looking to save a some money.
8. ESPN Zone is a great location if you want a simple menu and a chance to have a beer with your meal. Prices are reasonable and there is little chance that you can break the $25 barrier on just a meal.
9. Gonzalez Y Gonzalez located in the village eateries will satisfy your craving for Mexican food, Most of the entrées are under $15 and you can easily fill up on appetizers that are all under $10.
10. I’l Fornaio
11. Chin Chin
Also, Village Eateries, pizza, sandwiches, fish and chips and plenty more.

The Monte Carlo has a great food court for low cost meals as well as three places where you can get away from fast food and still stay under $25.
12. Monte Carlo Pub and Brewery
13. Market City Café
14. Dragon Noodle Company

15. Noodles at the Bellagio Hotel.

Planet Hollywood Hotel
16. P.F. Changs
17. Cheeseburger in Paradise

18. JJ's Boulangerie at Paris Las Vegas

19. Ventuno’s at the Flamingo Las Vegas

Caesars Palace
20. Planet Hollywood
21. Cheesecake factory
Also, Cypress Marketplace, upscale food court

23. Carnegie Deli at the Mirage and Canters at Treasure Island are two deli’s where you can share a meal with a friend and still have a little left over. It’s inexpensive if you consider that ordering one item will usually more than an ample amount of food.

24. Toby Kieth’s I Love This Bar and Grill at Harrah’s

Venetian Hotel and Casino
25. Postrio at the Venetian
has a burger at lunch time that is worth the $15. It’s pricey, but I would spend the money and have a beer and still come in under $25
26. Taqueria Cañonita at the Venetian has a Two Taco plate that comes with rice and beans. Add in the chips and salsa and you fly under the radar at less than $20, order a beer and you can still squeeze by under $25.

27. Maggiano’s at the Fashion Show Mall

29. Lucky’s at the Statosphere Hotel is a hotel coffee shop but it is cheap and the food is good. Sometimes you get generic entrées and average food at coffee shops but Lucky’s at the Stratosphere is worth a trip to the end of the Las Vegas strip.
30. Roxy’s Diner at the Stratosphere Hotel.

31. Florida Café on the Las Vegas Strip
