Also, saul, did you choose The Mirage because it has a Carnegie Deli?  Seems like too much of a coincidence.  not-anit-semite

No, I did read about that though.  Won't eat there since it says it's like $20 per sandwich and sharing is extra.  

Chose Mirage b/c it seemed nice, centrally located, did ok in the Steve Dave ratings (in the vegassummerpak thread), and got a decent rate.

good reasons.  you should eat at some nice pricey places while you are there though.  pretty much the best thing about vegas is the amazing food imo.

Yeah, plan on it.  Any rec's?  Plan on spending lots of $$$ on food, moderate amount on gambling and shows.  

if you like sushi, sushi samba in the palazzo is greatness.

every big chef (mario, emeril, flay, etc) have steak houses in vegas, all good.

yeah, love sushi, any kind of ethnic food really.  More than steak houses and all that.

sushi samba.  sushi samba.  sushi samba.  great.


agree w/ sd's bouchon recommendo, i went there in august.  it's french inspired though, and really expensive.

i'm kind of like you in that i don't usually go to steak houses when i'm out of KC just because we can get (imo) the best steak in the world here in kansas.

also of note: i'lll be returning to vegas for 3/17-3/20 for 1st round/2nd round games.

Where?

Fine to start a separate Kansas/KC steakhouses vs. Vegas steakhouses thread if necessary.

i don't know the wichita area but there are steakhouses across ks that serve steaks that can go up against anything you'd have in vegas/LA.

didn't you call me and tell me that you and all your friends were coming to Omaha for Lady Gaga on the 17th?  Yes, you did.  I was all, "First round of the NCAA you Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)" and you were all, "No, gaga, we are all going".

do you know what they serve in steakhouses in LV?  dry aged prime cuts of beef.  that's it.  oh- and a baked potato or some other variant of a starch.  it's really not all that difficult.  i've eaten at places in western ks that served prime cuts of beef that were raised and slaughtered and aged in the same town.  no i don't know the name.

in kc you can go to plaza 3 or capital grille and you'll be eating the same crap they serve at carnevino, prime, charlie palmer, and cut.

ya i think that did happen.  but then vegas first round of games/st patty's day happened.

We all ordered what we were told was the best steak CG had, and it wasn't nearly as good as Vegas places.  CG was pretty weird too for a "fine steakhouse".  Dudes were rolling around on the floor and crap.

[steve dave]

I've never had a really great steak in KS or NE (both reputed to be elite steak states by their respective townies).

Even though it's just meat, pretty sure I'd rather have a pissclams offering than a chicat/pike/whoeverelsetalksBGE attempt.  You know?

Kobe steak, from Japan.

Going for my 5th time in late may for a bachelor party, most likely over Memorial day weekend. Anyone been that weekend?

I'm guessing its a little busier than normal and the hotels might be more expensive but really have no idea.

Every time I have been to Vegas in the spring time (March) it ends up being colder than it is that day in KS. I have had bad Vegas luck.

well, it's not really hot in vegas in march.  I think you just have bad knowing about vegas weather knowledge.  Lots of dumbasses think it's hot in vegas.  It's hot in vegas about 4 months out of the year.

Where can I find $5 blackjack tables with 3:2 payouts (weekdays).

Where can I find $5 blackjack tables with 3:2 payouts (weekdays). 

saul when i was in vegas in august it was hard to find a table under $25, so good luck w/ that.  i was at the north end of the strip though and have heard that there is some less expensive tables towards the other end.

[steve dave]

during the day you can find some. Try harrahs, it sucks but they have outside tables that are usually $5 and they keep the drinks coming and is right across the street from you.  The mirage will usually have some $10 tables set up during the day but I don't know that I've ever seen $5.
