I'm asking this because I've been disappointed with the touristy places my husband keeps dragging me to. Nascar and Star Trek have to be the most pricey awful tasting food I have ever had. He's like, the kids will love it. Wrong!
I want to go somewhere that at the end of dinner, the food was good and the check doesn't give me sticker shock!!

i have only limited experiences, but food off the strip has always seems very reasonably priced.

am also interested to hear the take of the longer term locals on this.

Let's see I think you are west side.

Flemings and Roy's - Charleston - A little expensive but very good.

Claim Jumper - Boca - Very good food in large quantity moderate to low.

Kona Grill - Boca moderate - good

There are a couple of pretty good restaurants in Sun Coast and Rampart. We like the coffee shop in rampart. Moderate

Steiner's - Durango at Cheyenne - VP joint Better hamburgers than almost anywhere. Other on Buffalo at Cielo Vista..

Shucks - Durango at Elkhorn - VP parlor - Good shellfish and such. Their 45 buck clambake will fill a couple and a couple of kids easy. Augment with chowder and starters.

Burrito Inn - Rampart and Del Webb - Very good inexpensive Mexican. Those Sun Citiers know how to live cheap. Greap pasta soup.

Zapatas - Craig just east of 15..Really good Mexican VP Parlor. Go for lunch and loaded with flyboys to make the kids day.

Cracked Egg - Buffalo and Cheyenne - Exceptional breakfasts...Great Hamburgers. Another coming at Ann and 95

Vinters Grill - Charleston and Hualapai - More expensive but not too bad if you watch the wine. Delicious food and great service...a gem.

Bob Taylor's steak house. Rio Vista off Ann just east of 95...A throwback. Not bad but too expensive. Try it once. Quite authentic.

Lots of locals are very fond of the Circus Circus Steak House and their Sunday Champagne Brunch. I liked their steaks but have not done the brunch. Moderate by strip standards.

Mon-Ami-Gabi in the Paris is the place we take visitors. It is also quite moderate by strip standards.

Grape Street - Sandwiches and wine - Buffalo and Lake Mead - Not bad.

Akasaka - Buffalo and Lake Mead. Pretty good Japanese. The original on Sahara around Valley View is better though.

Rosemarys. Sahara at Buffalo Expensive...worth it.

Let me just put in my two cents here. We have a Kona grill in Denver and my fiance, being Hawaiian, had to try this. I thought it was wonderful. She liked it, she gave it her seal of approval. So we recomend that one.

We ate at Rosemary's last time we were there and it is SOOOO worth it, but not cheap.

Apple bees not my choice!!!! , but if you are into Italian food, try this one: Roma Deli, it is on Spring Mountain just before jones. It is very good

Any place to eat inside NY NY is wayyyy to pricey for what you get. We also love Grape Street. Agave in Summerlin is also vey good. It is Mexican with a different flare. Islands in the same center is also very good. A side note about Claim Jumpers... It is very good but also very hard to get into if you have more than 2 in your party. I suggest either going early or late...dinner time is next to impossible. I have to agree with the OP about the Nascar place. We ate their one night on our way to see the Schinta's and we were very disappointed. We also occasionally like to go to Marie Calendars, it reminds us of Bill Knapps or Bob Evans. The new Mexican place at 95 and Ann is also excellent, the best guacomole in town. I can't recall the name at the moment, maybe someone else can help me out.

Are you talking about Vega's Cafe? If so, my brother in law and his family own and operate it. Website built by Chest Rockwell himself hahaha!

Metro is OK, but it's not NY style pizza if that's what you're looking for. Not worth the money IMO.

I always liked the Guadalajara restaurants in the Station properties- excellent guac and salsa, and great inexpensive food if they're still around.
