Dinner and a show, but which to do first?

We are going to Vegas in a few weeks and are planning to see two shows. I am not sure if we should by the 7:00/7:30 tickets and then do dinner afterwards, or buy the 9:30/10:00 tickets and eat dinner first. I don%26#39;t like being rushed when I eat dinner, so I would rather eat after the shows but 10pm is late for dinner (well, maybe not in Vegas). Any advice?

(BTW... this is our first visit to Vegas.)

this is going to be our 3rd trip and i still dont know whats best. personally my wife prefers buffets,even if i offer to buy something nicer. we usually eat earlier befor the show,but i hate it if im dressed up and my belly is busting out of my clothes while sitting in a theater,. I dont usually eat lunch but this trip im thinking of a laate lunch so we wont be too hungry if we eat after the shows. tough call. ps enjoy your 1st trip,beware it can become addictive

Actually, myself - I always go to the later show, having dinner first. After the show it%26#39;s always nice to relax talk about how great the show was while enjoying a glass of wine or coffee. I don%26#39;t know - filling my face after seeing a good show just doesn%26#39;t seem as enjoyable or romantic (depending on the situation)

dinner, then show, then dessert with coffee/wine after is my preference.

actually after thinking about it,dinner befor show!. seems like we find it more romantic going back after a show,walking the strip being dressed seems like a nice way to end an evening

consider how the time differencer will affect you. if you are from NJ as you imply, and will be in LV a limited number of days your body clock may never adjust fully. Dinner after a show in LV is 1-2am your time.

For us, we eat before a show. rarely do a ';fine dining'; experience and a big show the same night unless schedule dictates.

Eating dinner before the show may work best for your body clock. unless you are trying to make reservations someplace you don%26#39;t need to decide now. be flexible - a key to enjoying LV. Buy show tix for 7ish and play it by ear - food available all day.

I prefer eating first.

Food is the bigger priority.

How about drinks and appetizers before the show- then more food afterwards, depending on how hungry you are. That way you won%26#39;t have as much rush beforehand, but won%26#39;t be hungry during the show.

We frequently do drinks and appetizers before, and a goopy dessert,like cheesecake afterwards ( I delude myself into counting the cheese as a ';dairy'; serving !)
