Best food joints for $30 or under per person

[bbatt]

Spago at Caesar's Forum and Fin at Mirage came through pretty clutch this weekend. Tasty food, nice ambience, and under $30 each with apps and a soda

For those considering Spago, there isn't an entree under $30.

Top notch place but probably cant stay under $30 unless you go for lunch

Partially, but not entirely true. We ate dinner there for $25 each and got an entree and a soda each.

Website isn't loading, but in addition to the menu you posted, they also have a more casual "cafe menu", in which entrees are under $20 and still very good. You can eat in the cafe area (the outdoor patio) or inside and still get that cafe menu, even at dinner. Just a heads-up.

Edit: Here's the cafe menu (with no prices): http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/content/...2007-23-10.pdf

As mentioned, you can order from this menu anywhere.

Oh, gotcha. Similar to the Wolfgang restaurants in the airport. Not exactly the actual high quality Wolfgang vibe and all, but still good food

Yeah, exactly.

Of course, if you're vegetarian like me, this cafe menu is a Godsend.

Carnegie Deli inside the Mirage. Me and a girl split the Pastrami sandwich because it was so huge. And that sandwich in itself is under 30.

Grand Lux is an easy one. Very large amounts of food. I'd suggest splitting an entrée, they're that big. I wanna say under 20$ (an entrée). Also we ate breakfast at Enzo (Casino level Venetian, near main lobby) and it was amazing for 15$ a person.

I was only half joking, I fucking love Chipotle.

Nice list, boss.

Just a suggestion from my personal experience with Spago -- add a note recommending to ask for the cafe menu; the items on there are significantly more affordable and you don't have to worry about splitting dishes then.

highlights:

$6.99: 10-ounce steak at Ellis Island. Includes potato, bread, green beans and a beer.

$7.77: Gambler's Special: Steak, three grilled shrimp, a choice of potato or broccoli and a salad. At Mr. Lucky's 24/7 in the Hard Rock Hotel. (have to ask for it, not on the menu)

Mon Ami Gabi, affordable French with pretty good steaks too.

Has anyone here been to Firefly? It's a tapas place off the strip. ESPN's Keith Law (baseball guy, used to work in the Blue Jays' front office, also a foodie) raves about the great food and the really reasonable prices.

I eat here almost every time I'm in town! It IS great! I like to ask the server to bring some of the house favorites... things I'd never order myself. Bacon-wrapped dates, Fliet Mignon Sliders, Grilled Shrimp in Diablo Sauce (there's a fancier name for this one). Their Mac & Cheese is the best too. They recently opened a location in the Plaza (downtown) and I think out on W. Sahara too. I've only been to the Paradise location.

BTW... there several other good dining options in the Paradise strip center as well.
