Any recommendations for places to eat in Vegas, there will be 11 blokes so nowhere too expensive, romantic or posh but not mcd's, KFC etc

I looked up the cheesecake factory which looked good with a massive menu, has anyone been

What about the best places for steak, ribs, shrimp etc

Thanks

Fat Burger is a good shout for a post - boozing, late night snack...

I've eaten in the steak restaurant in Circus Circus, which is pretty good...

Holsteins for Burgers in Cosmo is great http://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/taste/restaura...
Gordon Ramsey's Steak in Paris is good but pricey.

Heart attack grill

Ballys Steakhouse

Craftsteak in the MGM if you want a blow out

You can get good deals on food from tix4tonight stalls located on the strip, like half price dinners makes it easier on the wallet if you go somewhere where you will spend over $100 / head.

ETA - Cheesecake factory was awesome. Just don't go with eyes bigger than your belly smile

Sporting House at New York New York is good if you just want a beer and a bite.

Denny's Diners are actually fairly good food (above MuckDonalds, etc anyway) for not much money.

Not 'a meal out with your girl' good, but certainly 'something edible and not full of grease'.

Get yourself up to The Mix on the 64th floor of The Hotel (Mandaley Bay) best view of the strip at night by far.

I went to an Outback Steakhouse with a bunch of lads in Vegas a few years and that certainly fits your criteria above. We went to the one in front of Casino Royale (opposite the Mirage) - 3411 S Las Vegas Blvds. You go in a door and its upstairs.

Been to lots of them, although not the LV one. Most UK people think it's amazing but food snobs will say it's boring factory produced food (which in my experience suits most lads). They're usually very busy.

Their website says there isn't one on LV.

Cheesecake Factory is a must as many have said. Also, in the same complex is Tao. http://taorestaurantlv.com/

For breakfast, we went daily to Denny's. Custom pancake, refill coffee, and a ton of combo's besides, for about $12/head

Hard Rock Cafe on the strip is good for some beers and average food-I went there with the wife last September and it was good-not as good as other Hard Rock Cafes though.

I've been here (http://www.margaritavillelasvegas.com/) and the food is very good. Be warned though, the portions are MASSIVE and I barely touched my main after having a starter.

Alternatively, there is a Bahama Breeze in Vegas (http://www.bahamabreeze.com/locations/?restaurantid=3020) and whilst I haven't been to that one, I have been to the one in Orlando and can fully recommend it yum

I really liked the food at the Hardrock cafe on the strip, I had the nachos to start and a BBQ pulled pork sandwich, fries and onion rings for a main. The portion sizes were massive, definitely the biggest plates I had while I was there, I still don't know how I walked away from that table.

If you feel like Mexican, definitely check out Hussong's Cantina in the Shoppes at Mandalay place (the shopping centre that joins the Luxor and Mandalay bay hotels), I think that was probably the best food I had in Vegas. The Baja lobster tacos were like nothing I've ever tasted, and they serve delicious Modelo Negra beer.

You wont struggle. The place is well catered for.

All you can eat Buffet at the Wynn is a must, as is the 2 foot Nacho's in Margaritaville.

The one evening we dined out posh, we went to the steak house in Bellagio called Prime, It was incredible. but not cheap.

We had steak (prime rib) in a steakhouse in Caesar's (can't remember the name), without doubt the best I have ever eaten and my god was there a lot of it! Not the cheapest steak I've ever eaten but a great experience nonetheless.

Encore is amazing - you will love it.

I would recommend california pizza across the road in the shopping mall.

I would also get a taxi to In and Out burger - their stuff is amazing.

Another thumbs up for cheescake factory as well.

We stayed at the Encore/Wynn and went to the Peppermill Diner/Lounge a short walk down the road (head in the direction Old Las Vegas) - it was a relatively small standalone diner with cute waitresses and traditional diner decor and food - and through the back was a smart lounge bar for late drinks.

We went a couple of times for brunch and drinks as it made a great change to the big Casino places good value eats & drinks I seem to remember too.

Cabo Wabo Cantina is always a pretty chilled out place for big groups. There's usually some quite loud music on too if you like that sort of thing.
