Review: Sedona Restaurant & Lounge

How did we not try this place sooner?! We first tried them for their 1/2 off burger and beer night which is Wednesday. Now they only offer two burgers and they’re on the lunch menu (so if you go for dinner you’ll have to request it)… But they can make you any type of burger you want and are pretty accommodating. So, while their advertisement/offerings can be confusing, it turned out to be quite a gem. At 1/2 price, the burgers were around $7, and they were GOURMET burgers. The burgers were AMAZEBALLS- high quality meat, delicious bun and flavorful and big, thick patties. The beers we chose were only $2.50 at 1/2 off, we drank Magic Hat #9- which, if you haven’t tried, is delicious. However, there were other similarly priced options. They have rotating specials such as no cork fee for bringing your favorite wine, $20 off your bill ON SATURDAYS when you use your players card (it IS Vegas, there is gambling), and 1/2 off wine (glasses AND bottles!) on Tuesdays. And, bonus, the decor/ambiance is great too!

Fabulous patio area and the venue would also be awesome for a private party of almost any kind!

We will definitely be going back and taking our friends!

Review: el Segundo Sol

El Segundo Sol in the Fashion Show Mall has got to be the best deal on the strip for happy hour. $5 premium free pour margaritas and a nachos that will fill you up for only $3.75. We will be visiting again for sure!

Review: Thai Basil

Thai Basil is a small restaurant out at the edge of the earth in North Las Vegas. Ann Road to be exact. What a little gem though! For $10.95 you get a huge bento box, soup, wontons, sushi roll, tempura- the list goes on and on! I had the Mongolian Beef and Al had the Basil Chicken and both were delicious.

Review: Lahaina Grill

We have done it. We have found the best deal on sushi in Las Vegas.

Lunch: $19.95 pp

Pros: cheap eats and drinks

Cons: ?

Verdict: must try

AYCE sushi including nigiri and apps, $2 beer selection during football games and FREE sake flight when you download their app AND current valpak coupon for buy one get one half off  (this translates to $30 AYCE sushi lunch for 2- even on the weekends!!)

We can’t rave about this place enough, we’ll definitely be back!

Review- Main Street Station Buffet

Lunch: $8.99 (with player’s card) or $9.99 (without)

Pros

• lots of options
• good food quality
• diverse selection

Cons

• not a lot of convenient, free parking
• desserts were sub par

Verdict: while it is not a gourmet buffet, this is a great, reasonable option in the Fremont district in downtown Las Vegas.

An Evening Out

A couple weekends ago we went out with friends. It has been well over a year since we have had a nice evening out with a group of adults. It was really nice to get out with other couples and enjoy a nice dinner and some drinks. It made it that much more enjoyable that the drinks were free. And, we even had a photographer catch us like real Vegas celebrities!

And, if you’re looking for the best steak in Vegas (a lofty statement I know, but you won’t be disappointed!), look no further than Herbs & Rye on Sahara 1/2 price entrees on their daily happy hour from 5-8pm and midnight to 3am that includes some of their steaks, you can’t beat it. And, for those of you who may  prefer seafood/pasta, their linguine and clams are on the 1/2 price menu too and they’re just as amazing as their steaks. Yes, this happy hour schedule includes weekends AND it’s throughout the whole restaurant, not just the bar! A far less costly meal than steak restaurants on the strip, yet only a couple miles away!

And, if you’re looking for cheap,stiff drinks before or after your luxurious dinner…. Shifty’s is a great little dive bar just two doors down.
