Milo's (Cosmo) - great value, 3 course lunch menu for $20.13. Excellent fresh fish. Little disappointing that many items have an upcharge.

Gordon Ramsay Steak (Paris) - didn't think it could live up to the hype but it was fantastic. Very lively and loud restaurant but had great energy. Not a cheap meal by any means but my prime rib cap was quite possibly the best piece of meat I have ever had. Also, the sticky toffee pudding desert was excellent. Highly recommend.

Border Grill (Mandalay) - awesome tapas style all you can eat brunch on weekends for $29.99 plus $5 for bottomless mimosas. Highly recommended.

Comme Ca (Cosmo) - only had a couple drink and a few apps before a show, great deal at happy hour. Very nice hand crafted cocktails.

American Fish (Aria) - stopped in late after a show and ordered a few small plates and an appetizer, very fresh fish. Great service at bar.

Secret Pizza (Cosmo) - down an unmarked hallway, they should keep it a secret, not worth the late night calories.

Holsteins (Cosmo) - wanted to try Burger Bar at Mandalay but if was getting late and we were starving. Really good burger (Nom Nom burger), pretty nice beer list.

Bartolotta (Wynn) - ate that bar here after a show at the Wynn, great service, and very good fish. we had an octopus appetizer that was excellent, a pasta (can't recall name and menu on line is not the same) and the orata salmoriglio. Probably the best meal we had although not cheap either, the fish alone was $105.

Wicked Spoon (Cosmo) - we had 2 free vouchers for buffet breakfast and am I glad I didn't pay for it. lots of variety but I'm just not a buffet person. skip it unless it is free.

Mandarin Bar - stopped in early evening to get a view of the strip as the lights came on and to get a drink. Drinks and view were fine but we had a better view from the Cosmo 47th floor. The unfinished Harmon hotel blocks your view.

Chandelier Bar - only stopped here one evening before a show and great hand crafted cocktails. Told him to make me something with vodka and mixed up a couple items and it was fantastic.

Fancy/expensive and on the strip? Or casual and family friendly? Are you willing to go off the strip?

Former local, if you give more specifics I can give you my list of favorites.

Check tripadvisor.com.

We ate at the one with the wine angels (forget the name and it was years ago).

Honestly, there are so many great ones....

We are heading to Vegas next week. There are so many great choices of restaurants. What are your favorites? We are open to anything! Staying at the Bellagio...
