Cheap Food in Las Vegas

Spend Less in Las Vegas

By , About.com Guide

You need cheap food in Las Vegas. Sure Las Vegas has some incredible restaurants but we need to be honest about the prices. They are outrageous, $350 for two people? Find your way to a few places where good does not mean overpriced it means reasonable. You might want to splourge on a couple of meals but food should not be what your entire vacation is about. Well, it is for me , but it should not be for you.

The Big List of Cheap Food in Las Vegas

Plenty of food cheap food options can be found right here. You do not need to spend all your money on food, you need that for blackjack and cheap liquor.

Hussong's Las Vegas

Chips, guacamole and some corn on the cob that will make you rethink the issue of dieting while on vacation. Add a sope and some pozole and you have a decent meal for a relatively good price. Cheap food and cold beers will have you returning to Hussongs. You might have to eliminate the Margarita if you are trying to save money but you will be disappointed if you decide against the Hussong's version.

D.O.C.G. at The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas

This is the pizza of my dreams and it is less than $15. They have a pre-show menu that is also out of this world. Some of the best quality food for the least amount of money on the Las Vegas strip. D.O.C.G. is located amongst a few fabulous restaurants that are not affordable, don't be fooled by the neighborhood, you can afford this one. Just because the restaurant is in the Cosmopolitan do not think you cannot get some good cheap food here.

Burger Bar at Mandalay Place at the Mandalay Bay Hotel

A coke and a burger as you watch a game on the screens that surround the Burger Bar at the Mandalay Bay. Yes, you can order an outrageously expensive burger, but you don't have to. Go simple and your budget might include a beer. If you decide on a beer you 'll have quite the options with a large list of some of the best beer in Las Vegas. A $9 burger may sound a little over the top but it is considered cheap food in Las Vegas.

The Pub at Monte Carlo

The food is not over the top fantastic but it is cheap, consider that you most likely will have a beer and you might find this place does it for you. If you enjoy watching sports it makes this a great place. The beer menu is the huge draw as you their list will soon be approaching 200 beers.

Pink's Hot Dogs Las Vegas

It's cheap, it's good and it's conveniently located right on the Las Vegas strip at Planet Hollywood. Order a chili dog to go and try to eat it as you walk down the strip (impossible), this will allow you to shed the guilt of the enormous quantity of calories that you are consuming.

Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace

The portions are huge and that means you can share. Simple, good food in large quantities in a fun environment. I'd go with the ABC burger or the huge hot dog and sinmce you will be saving money on an extra meal order the frozen hot chocolate.

Oyster Bar at Harrah's Hotel

Stay away from the beer and have yourself a bowl of chowder and the bread and crackers that come with your meal. For $10 you'll have a quality meal and you might have a decent conversation with the person sitting next to you.

Maggiano's at the Fashion Show Mall

Family style is a good way to invite the cheap people like myself into an establishment. Large portions, free bread and water get you out of here with a good deal.

Noodles at Bellagio

If you like noodles you'll love this place. Personally, the Vietnamese noodles are a staple for me at Noodles in the Bellagio. You'll get out of here for a tiny amount on a relative scale to the rest of Las Vegas restaurants with far better quality.

Cheesecake Factory at the Forum Shops

The portions are large at the Cheesecake Factory and that usually means you can share. Order an Iced Tea and a Ceasar Salad and two people can load up on bread and a big salad for under $20.

Carnegie Deli at the Mirage

I always include the Carnegie Deli in the cheap food category of my daily excursions. Lets face it, more than a pound of corned beef for about $11 means you can share a sandwich and a drink for less than $20.
