Restaurants in Las Vegas

My family and I are travelling to Las Vegas April 2 - April 5 of this year. We%26#39;d like to eat at a different restaurant each night but we%26#39;d prefer to eat at places that are not directly on the strip since they can be incredibly pricey. We%26#39;re staying at Mandalay Bay. Do you have any suggestions for restaurants that are within walking distance from that hotel that offer great food at a reasonable price? Also, we prefer Italian restaurants, if possible. Thanks for your help!!

walking distance,from MB and not on the strip. I really think your not going to walk from there to any off strip locations,but i know someone here will offer a suggestion where you can take a cab too

Yeah, the only walkable off-strip places from there are dingy bars.

As other people said, the stuff actually ';just off'; the strip isn%26#39;t great.

A couple of suggestions: The best burgers on the west coast (in my opinion) are ';In N%26#39; Out'; and there is one near I-5 in Las Vegas. It%26#39;s a cheap option for a family (fast food but delicious) and anybody you ask at MB will know it (they eat there!). It%26#39;s a cab ride for sure. Truth be told, last time I was at MB I took some craps winnings and paid a cab to take me there, wait for me, and bring me back with In-n-out for my wife and I! The $30 cab fare was less than dinner for one at any MB restaurant....

A more ';locals'; type of restaurant is Pamplemousse (http://www.pamplemousserestaurant.com) that excellent french food at much more reasonable prices (although not cheap) than anything on the strip. They claim to be walkable from the strip, but from MB I%26#39;d recommend a cab unless you just want to walk.

You should consider renting a car if you want to be at Mandalay Bay, especially if you are going off strip. You should be able to rent a car for about $100 (check Dollar and Alamo - use Google to look for promo codes - also Priceline and Hotwire are good alternatives) and you%26#39;d easily save that with just a few meals. Also consder that if you rent a car at the airport you won%26#39;t need to pay for a shuttle/taxi to get to and from Mandalay Bay. Parking is free everywhere on the strip. You can search this forum for suggestions about reasonably priced places to eat off-strip. The only %26#39;cheap%26#39; eats I know of near Mandalay Bay is a McDonalds across the street.

Best of luck,

I%26#39;ve eaten at the Wolfgang Puck place in MB and it wasn%26#39;t outrageously expensive (we actually shared a salad, a spinach pizza, and a cioppino - told the waiter we didn%26#39;t want any leftovers and was that enough food, he said perfect and divided the salad and cioppino up for us, very nice of him and the food was delicious). I%26#39;ve also eaten at the Italian in Excalibur which is a tram ride away and I don%26#39;t remember much about it except that it was not that good. Not sure if there%26#39;s an Italian restaurant in Luxor.

Agree with everyone that you can%26#39;t really walk to too many places from MB.

if you%26#39;re into mexican food, i highly recommend you eat at border grill in manadaly bay.

it%26#39;s available on restaurants.com so you can buy a $25 GC for only $4 when you use the promo code: MADNESS

it%26#39;s a decently pricey restaurant, but with the GC you%26#39;ll save $21, making it more reasonable.

also, we loved the house of blues restaurant at mandalay bay. it wasn%26#39;t CHEAP, but it was a decent price. i ordered the soup and a side dish of mac and cheese. the mac and cheese was ridiculously good, and a huge portion for only a couple bucks. it would make an excellent late night snack if you%26#39;re wandering your hotel looking for something.

This ';old style'; Italian restaurant off Strip advertises that they will send their limo to pick you up and bring you back from the Strip. You would need to tip the driver - but certainly less than a taxi and should be memorable.Most of the reviews here have been good- reasonable prices and usually a singer entertaining:
