Cigaretteman..... There is a  Joel Rebouchon's in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand. Basis dinner price is $350 but I had good friend who dined there and laughed when I mentioned that $350 price-tag. They're final bill was way about that figure and they refused to offer the details, but they did say that the food was very good.

Adjacent to the fine dining room is a somewhat smaller  Joel Rebouchon's dining area that looks more like a fancy bar than a find dining place.  They serve small plates off the menu with very high price-tags but nothing compared to the fine dining room.

Based on your recommendation, I'm gonna give it a try my next visit during the USA championships. I just hope I can understand what the menu has to say. Most times when I go to similar places, I just end up asking the waiter to bring me something that tastes like Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup and an entre' that looks and tastes like a Porterhouse steak with strict instructions to lay off the escargot and the insides of any creature that once lived upon the face of the earth. So far I've never been disappointed.

Barton G - Miami ( crazy - one of a kind - complete with seven foot tall desserts you would see in a Willy Wonka movie. )

KO PRIME - Boston ( Best steak house I have ever been to.)

STK - NYC / L.A ( Awesome steak house)

Sibling Rivalry - Boston ( two brothers who are chefs, use ingredients that change daily, to battle it out on two different sides of a menu)


Atlantica - South Shore MA ( Seafood like you read about)


Chilis - Haha, I fucking love me some Chillis!


What are some of the places you go, when you are dining out, or relaxing on your diet?







Ihop for breakfeast.
I was just in Halifax,NS. and they have alot of great places right on the waterfront where you can sit outside and have lunch.
Umberto's clam house or Dominick's on Arthur ave in the Bronx have great Italian grub after a Yankee's win ;)
Penny's diner after last call :D

If you and your GF/wife are in LV for the USA late this month, I strongly recommend that you consider a reservation at Charlie Palmer Steak in the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel (Mandalay Bay). One of the best meals I've ever had in LV.

Brutal, I don't think that there are anymore $6.95 buffets in Las Vegas. Cheapest is probably still at the Circus Circus and it's so bad that I wouldn't even eat there if it was $1.95.

Orleans buffet is probably still the best for the price - breakfast, lunch and dinner.

say it ain't so  :'(


We used to always go to the breakfast buffet at the LUXOR before the Olympia prejudging, when it was held at the mandalay bay...

It seemed like the "official" Olympia breakfast, as Lycra shirts, fake tans, and fake boobs packed the place  ;)
just not good enough

i think that spaghettini's is over priced, the food is good, but overpriced

Brutal, I understand that they are making a lot of upgrades in the Luxor and that the Luxor buffet is now called "MORE" which usually means that the price is more. I won't be able to check it out prior to the USA but "cheap" buffets are a thing of the past in LV now.

I can assure you that one of the better meal deals in town is at Ellis Island, Koval lane behind PARIS (the coffee shop type room in the back). Great meals at great prices but not a fancy venue by any means. Sometimes the steak dinners are in the $6 range. Ask about the SPECIAL as it usually isn't mentioned in the menu - You simply had to point to the picture of the steak on the menu cover. Sort of like belonging to a secret "I Know How to Order the Special" club.
