Cheap Places to Eat in Bonnie Springs

"It may sound like a blasphemy to say, but while Emeril Lagasse, a man who almost singlehandedly changed how we look at home cooking, has opened up several restaurants, not all of them are good. However, Emeril’s Las Vegas empire breaks that mold and offers consistently high-quality dishes that are simultaneously fancy enough for the pickiest gourmand and delicious enough for any eater. Plus, their Creole roots make the food approachable, which isn’t always true of high-class dining."

"Celebrity Chef Emeril is at it again with this fancy restaurant at the MGM Grand. It’s one of the best places to find fresh fish in Sin City and the rest of the menu features New O..."

"Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House is a seafood haven featuring dishes by the world-famous chef, Emeril Lagasse. This casual restaurant is modern and sea-inspired."

"Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger’s beloved and accessible Border Grill is a good choice for families right before or after a visit to The Shark Reef, right next door. The two floors of patio dining make a terrific spot for weekend brunch. We love the many tacos and lots of shareable dishes, from the Yucatan pork to lomo saltado."

"Come prepared to be spoiled by Michelin-awarded Chef Akira Back. This is modern Japanese food with a Korean-American flare. Best experienced family-style, we suggest starting with an appetizer like the Kobe beef tacos or tuna tatami."

"The Shake Shack located on the Las Vegas strip is a popular casual dining franchise that offers a fun atmosphere along with classic American food like burgers, hot dogs, fries, as well as delicious shakes and frozen custard. The burgers at Shake Shack are made to order and can be customized to suit even the pickiest of eaters. The food here is served relatively fast compared to other full service restaurants on the strip, so this is a great place to stop in for a bite when you’re in between seeing shows or other Vegas attractions."

"We realize that Shake Shack can now be found in many cities, but its New York-New York Hotel & Casino location is a lifesaver for parents. Walk in from the city’s first community green space, The Park, and either sit in the large dining room or take your food right back out. Don’t miss one of the chain’s famous concretes (made with sweets from local bakery Gimme Some Sugar, these dense ice cream shakes are best eaten with a spoon)."

"If you love your Chinese food but live a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for at Veggie House Las Vegas. Menu items include traditional Chinese dishes like stir fry and noodles prepared with meat substitutes that some argue are better than the actual meat. Located in a strip mall in Chinatown, Veggie House is repeatedly voted one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Las Vegas."

"As a Las Vegas vegan restaurant that’s often frequented by omnivores and vegetarians alike, Veggie House dishes up veganized Chinese meals. With faux versions of shrimp, scallops, geese, duck, fish, and beef, most diners cannot tell the difference between the traditional dishes and their meat-laden counterparts at other Asian restaurants. Regulars swear by the variety of tofu dishes, too."

"Established in 2012, this vegetarian and vegan Chinese restaurant imitates the taste and texture of meat using pressed tofu. Plant-based diners craving Chinese food favorites will be satisfied with sumptuous plates of vegan General Tso’s chicken and spicy crispy beef plus vegan cheesecake for dessert. Online ordering available."

"Mott 32, the Chinese restaurant with Hong Kong roots, features a mix of Cantonese, Sichuan, and Beijing influences on its roster of Chinese dishes at the Palazzo. The restaurant serves apple wood roasted duck, Peking-style spicy crispy duck rack, minced duck with lettuce cup, barbecue pluma Iberico pork, and crispy roasted pork belly. Dim sum includes traditional Iberico pork Shanghainese soup dumplings, a soft quail egg and Iberico pork siu mai, south Australian lobster har gow, and Australian wagyu beef puff are among the steamed dim sum, while fried dishes include shredded Peking duck spring rolls and pan-fried Iberico pork dumplings."

"PalazzoThe concept began in Hong Kong and the name honors a historic address in New York's Chinatown, but with a mix of style and substance, Mott 32 feels right at home in Las Vegas. The dining room, tucked away in the back of the Palazzo casino, is a bold, modern space with secluded corners and large, comfortable booths for added intimacy. The Peking Duck, wood-roasted in a custom brick and clay oven, is the specialty, but it's hard to overlook other elevated takes on Cantonese cuisine—most notably, the use of Iberico pork and black shaved truffles in the dim sum menu."

"One of the best Las Vegas Chinese restaurants is Mott 32 at The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort. Try the siu mai with soft quail egg, black truffle, and Iberico pork or the wagyu short ribs. If you’re into planning ahead, the apple-wood smoked Peking Duck is worth considering."

"Channeling the see-and-be-seen vibe of its original Beverly Hills location, Mr. Chow at Caesar’s Palace brings style to the Strip. The famous hand-pulled noodles, which chefs live demonstrate in front of guests, are practically mandatory. Cocktails like the Chow-Lini crafted with house-made peach foam are festive, but choosing something off of the champagne cart as it makes its way through the dining room is not a bad way to celebrate something or nothing at all."

"Mr Chow has been on my list forever, it’s kind of the original high end Chinese in America, although the first Mr Chow opened in London. A lot of people think Mr Chow’s food is bad, including, famously, Frank Bruni in regards to the New York location. I haven’t been to those Mr Chows."

"Monte CarloA complete Asian dining experience with Chinese noodles to go along with the sushi and other Japanese selections. Dragon Noodle is also known for handcrafted Tiki cocktails and an extensive wine list."

"Even those who are not a hop head are still in luck at this hop-forward brewery, which produces not just citrusy IPAs and herbal pale ales, but also reds and Dunkelweizens. Food trucks, a large bar, and a patio round out the offerings. Also at Tivoli Village."

"One of the best parts of Las Vegas is the cheap flights running nearly round the clock. It affords the opportunity to extend a trip for a few extra hours for a bit more fun. The city of Henderson isn’t too far from McCarran International Airport and neither is its Artisan Booze District, which includes Crafthaus Brewery, Bad Beat Brewing, Las Vegas Distillery, and Vegas Valley Winery."

"Along with CraftHaus and Bad Beat, Astronomy Aleworks is one of three beer producers in the Henderson Booze District. The brewery has a sci-fi theme, but also describes itself as “science based” -- having hosted events with UNLV astronomy students and guest professors in the past. Special brews change every week or two and a canned rye IPA is in the works for the fall."

"Astronomy Aleworks features a 10 BBL brewery at the rear and a tap room at the front, offering seating at the bar, or chairs and tables by the windows. ​Speed of Light Kolsch, ​Monoceros Double IPA, Hawking Hazy Pale, Pluto IS A Planet, Moons of Uranus, and ​Ursa Minor Cascadian Dark Ale are among the brewery’s own beers on tap."

"WestgateThere's nothing better than saying "I know a place" and taking your date by surprise—in a good way, of course. Edge Steakhouse at the Westgate has a perfectly fine dining room with plenty of room for trade show parties that filter over from the neighboring Las Vegas Convention Center. But for a change of pace, request a seat at the bar, where head bartender Mike Thompson is usually on duty—a longtime customer favorite who's ready to hand out a stiff Manhattan and a dose of New York-flavored hospitality."

"If you’re going to order a steak in Las Vegas, you need to go all-in at Edge Steakhouse. Roasted bone marrow and Wagyu beef tartare will prepare your stomach for a 40-day dry-aged, bone-in ribeye topped with a cold water lobster tail, served with a bowl of black-and-white truffle mac’n’cheese that’ll convince you demi-glace belongs on every pasta dish. With your last sip of scotch to wash down the last juicy bite of steak, you’ll taste why this top-rated steakhouse has few rivals on the Strip."

"Choose from our authentic American steakhouse menu that blends delicious steak with specialty appetizers, delectable entrees, and delightful side dishes for a deliciosa experience."
