Low stress lunch on the strip?

[pusherman]

Howdy All-

I'm looking for some help for an upcoming trip with a friend to Vegas -- we're all about trying some of the fancy places for our dinners, but during the day, we want to keep it lower key for lunch / breakfast options. From past trips, I have sometimes struggled to find good lunch options, I'm happy to order at a counter or sit at a bar, or if it's full service, nothing that will take too long. What lies between the food courts & buffets (yuck!) and the high end signiature restaurants? Where are the great sandwich places and taquerias of the Strip?

Thanks-

Try the Oyster Bar in Harrahs. Their clam chowder is great and they give you a bowl big enough for a meal for less than $8.

There is a really great deli at NYNY if you like such places. Pink Taco is good for Mexican. We usually do a buffet one day around 10 or 11 and don't eat til dinner. Haven't done MonAmi Gabi for lunch, but loved it for dinner. They have outside dining with a view of the strip.

The name has been changed to Otto - a quick glance indicated the menu was basically the same as under the Enoteca San Marco name.

We had lunch at Postrio on Monday (directly across from Otto in St. Marks Square). It was a decent meal, but the service was spotty and we had to remind the waiter of the locals special even after I provided him with drivers license........

delicious selection at NOODLE at the Bellagio

[kayoshi]

Paris- Mon Ami Gabi- Breakfast or lunch; LeBurger Brasserie
MGM- 'wichcraft http://wichcraftnyc.com/locations-and...; Stage Deli
Caesar's Palace- Payard Patisserie for pastries, sandwiches; Cypress Street Marketplace, is better than the usual food court.
Bellagio, Aria- Be sure to visit either Jean-Phillipe Patisserie for sandwiches, crepes and a pastry and see the Chocolate fountain at Bellagio or the giant chocolate flowers at Aria.
Venetian- Taqueria Canonita Restaurant by the canal or related Canonita Express in Canal Shoppes food court; Grand Lux (owned by Cheesecake factory) also located in Palazzo; Actually the casino level food court isn't bad. I've enjoyed a pizza slice for a quick bite, but there is Rialto Deli and San Gennaro for paninis & burgers.
Palazzo- First Food and Bar.
Imperial Palace- I agree that Hash House a go go is a fun place. Liked their vertically stacked fried green tomatoes layered with chicken salad stuck on a watermelon wedge and the huge banana pancake.
Planet Hollywood resort- Earl of Sandwich
Treasure Island- Canter's Deli
Mirage- Carnegie Deli; BLT Burger
Wynn- Zoozacrackers deli

Have fun!

Awesome, great list of recommendations, I'll print it and take with us...you've got the whole strip covered!

[johnmaggie]

Can you say "Hash House A go-go ?? It's in Imperial Palace (don't judge it by this place) Sahara has another one. Also have their original , off strip. Check out their web site. UNBELIEVABLE But, you need to share. Just too big for one.

[zippyh]

"Hash House A Gogo" in the Sahara? Don't you mean *on* Sahara several miles west of the Strip?

[johnmaggie]
