We are going to Vegas in March and I am wondering if anyone could recommend things to see and visit plus quaint restaurants to eat at that don't cost an arm and leg. We are trying to be cost effective. Also, does anyone know of a cheaper way to get hockey tickets to the Vegas Knights besides buying from them directly on their website, they are so expensive! TIA

The Peppermill restaurant
Good prices, big portions, lots of fun and kinda stuck in a 70’s time warp. Servers were all wearing old prom dresses!

awesome thank you!!

Yes Peppermill brings back memories

Love Peppermill

And when we say 'big portions' - this means order only 1 item per 2 people... you will not go hungry!!

Can’t recommend those but book your your idnow pcr test at Walgreens using an American address and you won’t have to pay and get the results back in a few hours - mine was an hour

what is idnow pcr?

Sheri Herman rapid pcr test. You need a pcr to get back into Canada. CVS offers a pcr test but much slower results than the idnow test at Walgreens. Heads up this is not offered in all states, but we had our does at a drive thru in Vegas on our drive back to Calgary. As far as I know still not available in CA.

Yvonne is this for Covid test before u fly

Duane yes

It’s the pcr test you need to get back into Canada

Battista’s hole in the wall! Just off the strip by Linc, so good and old school vibes. You get unlimited wine, bread and soup with a main course purchase

Matthew thanks for that

Matthew Whenever we are in Vegas we have to go to Batista’s. I wonder if the old man that sings to you at your table is still around?

Faye awesome, thank you!!

Sheri Herman I second the mob museum, very interesting!

If you like Thai food lotus of Siam is pretty amazing

agreed. Such amazing food.

The buffet at Wynn! Felt like Alice in wonderland

Charlene Green with covid are buffets still allowed?

Ahh good point... not sure!

The Golden Tiki. Happy hour is great.

My favourite of the Vegas Tiki bars.

Greg Thanks for that

For cheap and THE best tacos - Tacos el Gordo - just north of Wynn

Janelle Thanks for the info

Gordon Ramsay's fish and chips on the Linq Promenade was delicious and not expensive.

Lorraine I had that at his restaurant in Caesar’s

Pinball Hall of Fame.
Craft beer and thrift/antique stores in the Arts District.
Downtown Container Park.
Atomic Liquors - The oldest bar in Vegas.

James has things figured out, if you are down in the arts district around lunch Cornish Pasty Co is pretty good, Makers and Finders has wicked breakfast and Rebar has mystery beer in a brown bag.

James Great thank you

Baristas hole in the wall. One block off strip. Make reservations. And there is always coupon in hotel. All inclusive. Wine. Dinner cappacino. Can’t go wrong
And pepper mill breakfast

Liz Battista's Hole in the Wall

Dualling piano bar at New York New York is a must see whenever we go to Vegas! Great vibe! Highly recommend it

Gail Staudinger-Hermanson Perfect, thank you

I'm taking my mum to Vegas in march for her birthday - so thankful for this thread!!

If you have a car and are willing to venture away from the strip, El Torito Cafe in Henderson is fantastic Mexican food. Not fancy but really good!

Shelley Love mexican food, thank you

Tape face

Jileen Awesome thank you

Absinthe is a must for a show. Just saw it there 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. You need to have a crude sense of humour though. But the talent was just incredible.

Dawn fantastic!!

Michael Grimm (winner of America’s Got Talent about 10 years ago) at the Smith Center - it’s a wonderful venue to hear him sing.

Check out the Instagram page @lasvegasfood There’s also the Vegas Arts District that puts on a lot of events and is a cool area away from the strip to walk around.
I also recommend getting a bus pass. You end up waiting for the bus a bit but it allows you to hop on and off when and wherever you want. It paid for itself very quickly.

Andrea thank you for that

Google?

The Neon Boneyard is my fav!!!

Through Group On we did an evening helicopter ride over the strip. That was a great experience

Ellis Island, just east of the strip, has a great breakfast at an even better price. Go early as it gets busy.

Use groupon! We saved so much money when we went for eating and events
