Going for the 2nd time with just my brother in September. We went big and fancy last time with the Palazzo, this time we going cheaper...thinking Paris or the Linq. Anyone have experiences with those?

Also tried Golden Steer last time and it was good as hell, but so many steak houses so wanna try something different. Any suggestions? Thinking Herbs & Rye, Barry's, or SW so far.
 
went two weeks ago, the Pleasure Pit at PH isn't the same without the dancers :frown:

going a few pages back brought back some good times. quick report; went with extended fam all eating and gambling lol.

Arrive Saturday, check in and rest lol. met up with the homie who moved out to Vegas a few years back, had pizza at Evel Pie. Not bad, nothing out of this world just a solid slice of pie. Crumbl over by UNLV for dessert, highly recommend. Lives up to the hype. Was down a couple hundred for the afternoon/night at the craps tables and slots :frown:

Sunday more losses at the bubble craps machines. Stayed at Venetian so checked out the Canal Shoppes since I've never been, pretty nice. SUSHISAMBA plays dope music in the evening. Had the Bellagio buffet, whack. The state of buffets on the Strip is awful now. Only a few reopened with increased prices and from what I've heard all of them are nowhere near how they were before the pandemic. I guess Bacchanal is the only sure bet nowadays but $80+ is rough. Was hoping for copious amounts of rare-medium rare prime rib and was met with overcooked roast beef. Walked around took in some of the fountain show on the way out, Cher- Believe gotta be one of the worst songs ever made. Made the trek from Bellagio to PH stopping at Cosmo along the way and took in Vegas. I love the Strip and the city and it had been many years since I was back, stood on the pedestrian walkway and just watched Las Vegas Blvd. at work. PH stadium craps brought me back to life, guy rolled for a solid 20+ mins hitting a few hard ways. That and a few slot come ups (in 20 out 80/100 a few times) brought my bankroll back to even.

Monday more rest lol, IIRC had lunch with the folks at some random food hall nearby. Played at Venetian and was down $200 early. Wandered around to give my wallet a rest, tried to find a craps table with less than $25 minimums. Another bad side effect of post-pandemic Vegas is the higher minimums everywhere, including mid-tier casinos. Was playing at Harrah's on Sunday afternoon on a $10 dollar table and sometime around 4 pm they let us know it was going up to $15. No thanks, color me up. Cashed out a small $10 bet on the Heat to pay $38, thanks Himmy. Made my way back to PH but this time at the craps single players machine and made a run. Hard ways hit, 6s and 8s hit, 5s and 9s started to hit, press up my pass line/odds to 10/20 hitting. In 100 and was up to 800 before smarting up and cashing out at $650. Came home with some money, Vegas paid for my Diablo 4 lol. Tuesday quick lunch, head back to SoCal.

As far as steakhouses go, I liked scotch 80 prime in Palms a couple years back. Bazaar Meat in SLS is good but the atmosphere is kind of odd. Bavette’s is good too and then there’s Carversteak in resort world. Very little experience off the strip.

I need to check out SW.
 
Going to vegas next Saturday any recommendations on what hotel to stay at. Mgm charging 500 for 2 nights and I'm looking for a cheaper price in the range of 300 any hotel recommendations?
