Rio Hotel. Tel: 702-247-7923 I haven't been in that place in several months but the last time I checked it it was very good. I had one of their baked potatoes, a spud so large I couldn't finish it. The ambience is great too. A little bit pricey, especially when it comes to dinners. The menu features steaks, seafood and salads. |
at theNewYork-NewYork, corner of Tropicana and the Strip. 702 740 6451 see detailed review.See detailed review |
| Aria
Cafe at the Aria Hotel, 3730 Las Vegas Bl. S. Regular American coffee shop fare. This purportedly isthe largest coffee shop on the strip. Open 24/7, just like all other cafes that are inside a casino here in Las Vegas. |
| Backstage
Deli Luxor, 3900 Las Vegas Bl. S. 877 386 4658. Open 24/7. 702 262 4852 |
375 Hughes Center Drive (corner of Flamingo and Paradise), 731-3252 Another excellent restaurant BUILDING at the Hughes Center (see Cozymel's) - like an old corrugated aircraft hanger in the tropics, overgrown with vegetation, palm trees inside, a water feature, and an outdoor patio where I am waiting for the right season to go to and have a few. Actually, the food is pretty good too. There's some "jerk" this and "Cuban" that on the menu, but it is all Americanized to me, so don't worry about being challenged. Oh, don't forget the pizzas. Count on a big variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and meat dishes. Add some fancy tropical drinks and about 50 beers to choose from, and you'll find something you like no matter what. |
| Beach
Cafe Tropicana, 3801 Las Vegas Bl. S. 702 739 2222. Open 24/7, Res. 800 462 8767. |
| Burger
Bar Mandalay Bay, 3950 Las Vegas Bl. S. 702 632 7777. in the walkway connecting Mandalay Bay and the Luxor. Upscale burger joint with upscale pricing. A veggie burger and a beer set me back $12, tip not included. Unfortunately, if you are hungry there are no choices that are less expensive. Sun. - Thu. 11 - 11, Fri. Sat. 11Am - 1AM. |
| Burger
Brasserie Paris, 3655 Las Vegas Bl. S. 702 946 7000. 11AM - 12AM daily. 702 946 4346. This is over the top Las Vegas style. They offer a $777.00 burger. I don't get this brasserie stuff. A brasserie is a brewery. |

3400 Las Vegas Blvd.385-7111. See what this world has come to? I now list a restaurant that has the word pizza in it's name under American food. They also serve salads and sandwiches. This is part of a chain out of Southern California. Their food is very good, the pizzas are delicious and the price is very moderate for what you get. I like their food. |
at The Orleans, 702-365-7111. Upscale featuring steaks and prime rib. Has a fireplace and other cozy interior accents. Nice room, nice food, fairly expensive. |
| Central At Caesars Palace 3570 Las Vegas Bl.S. 855 239 3931 or 702 731 7110. Open 24/7. A casual, American eatery. Zagat says it is "moderately" priced. I checked and found prices between $25 and $45. You be the judge. |

Traditional American. They call it casual dining, I would wear a suit with those prices. ($15. - $25.). Did you notice this is the third restaurant at C.P. that calls itself "American" cuisine. The other two are Central and Serendipity. Must be a lot of Americans with spending power hanging out here. |
at the Mirage hotel, next to Treasure Island on the strip. 791-7111. This is the Mirage coffee shop. Decent enough as coffee shops go. But here is a little trick I use from time to time. When you spot a long line of customers at the entrance walk right in past everyone. There is a large counter in the rear. There is also a very decent Chinese restaurant way in back of the regular coffee shop. Lots of times they have seats available. In fact, the Chinese place also has a counter that has room when everything else is filled up. They serve good Dim Sum. None of it vegetarian though. |
3780 S.Las Vegas Blvd. Tel: 702-7364501 Decent enough American style coffee shop. A bit on the pricey side. |

558 Nevada Highway, Boulder City. This location was featured on that infamous TV Show, " Diners, Drive Ins and Dives". If you are a rider (Harley) you cannot go wrong here. There are always a bunch of them here on weekends. |
| J.J's
Boulangerie Paris, 3655 Las Vegas Bl. S. 702 946 7000. Quick serve sandwiches, coffee etc. |
in front of the Hard Rock Hotel, 4475 Paradise Rd. 733-7625 Regular coffee shop fare with some specialties of the Hard Rock people mixed in. The menu is almost identical to the one of the Hard Rock in Berlin, Germany. And don't forget to look at all the rock memorabilia. I can't shake the feeling that these Hard Rock Cafes are somewhat overpriced. |

18 Fremont St. Tel: 702-385-1664 Very simple food, even below normal coffee shop standards. Best to avoid unless money is a problem. |
in the Flamingo Hotel 3555 S. Las Vegas Blvd. Listen up all you parrotheads! Grab your sandals, shorts and flowered shirts and head down to this here place. Strictly fun. With a capital F. Three bars (at last count), two of them overlooking the strip. They are on decks second and third floor. How cool is that? They have island fare (West Indies) and some American stuff too. Entertainment with guys and gals on stilts doing their thing amongst the diners. A volcano with human sacrifice (during dinner) etc. More fun than Rumjungle (Mandalay Bay) or Rainforest (MGM). They also have a small stage for a band. I paid $13.95 for jerk chicken which turned out to be very good. My friend (the vegetarian) had the Gardenburger with a portobello mushroom burger set-up. Also very good. Nothing to complain about there considering the amenities. Drinks are VERY expensive. $7 for a margarita that can be had anywhere in town for $3 to $4 But then again; you are in the high rent district and you are getting FREE entertainment to boot. |
North Las Vegas Bl. Lousy See detailed review |
1121 S. Fort Apache, 702-341-0365 Part of a chain of eateries out of California. Let me be succinct. Cute decor and lots of it, popular pricing, huge portions and mediocre quality. There you have it in a nutshell. You would actually be better off at a Denny's, Blueberry Hill or similar. |

Across the street from Circus Circus, a little farther south. I was in Las Vegas when this place first opened and look both of us are still here. It is still the same cute old decor and the same good food and good pricing. You should drop in and watch the flames shoot out of the table in the bar. |
Venetian, 3555 Las Vegas Bl.S. 702 414 1000 That master chef Wolfgang Puck has done it again. This is his fourth venue in Las Vegas I believe. And they are all excellent. This one I could call American contemporary. Beef, fish and shellfish. Very expensive and very high quality. Open for lunch and dinner. Prior to their regular dinner that starts at 6 p.m. they serve what is called an "intermezzo" starting at 3:30. It could be called "between the acts" if you wish. Check it out, money permitting.

Restaurant and Lounge Mandalay Bay, 3950 Las Vegas Bl.S. 702 632 7777. Very unique, american with Russian influences. They have a statu of Lenin at the front door. People complained about it so they cut the of it off. Sun. - Thu. 4:30 - 10,Fri. - Sat. 4:30 - 12midn. |
Stratosphere, Open 2AM - 7AM. 50's diner (where have I heard that name before?). They serve food that will kill you over time. It won't take too long either. Huge burgers, thick shakes, blue plate specials. Not bad when health concerns are not important. |
| Aria 3SAGE730 Las Vgeas Bl. S. just about center Strip. 877-230-2742. 5 - 11 p.m. They call themselves an "Amercan" eatery. It is definitely not aimed at everyday America. The tasting menu is $89. per, early birds can get a plate of chow for $59. tip not included. No telling how much a drink will run. I partially blame the hotels for the high prices. The rents are probably exorbitant. |

Groups of 12+ call 866 733 5827. This restaurant is the offshoot of the one that started in NYC in 1954. As you may have noted this is the second restaurant featuring American cuisine at C.P. But what a difference. This place serves the giant meatballs, BBQ ribs, triple decker grilled cheese sandwiches etc. You get the drift. $15. - $25 is their pricing, a very popular price point. |

4275 Industrial Rd. Tel: 702-261-6681 Another of the numerous bar-restaurant operations that have sprung up in Las Vegas in the last few years. This one has the hi-tech interior with numerous TV monitors. The food and the beer are surprisingly good and reasonably priced. Since this is close to the strip, in fact close to the Rio it would not be much trouble to stop by and sample their fare. Parking is really convenient, practically at the entrance. |
