Miss Craps
Excellent information. It's always good to hear "real" peoples
opionion of restaurants. I would add the following :
Zefferino's Brunch - The wife and I have eaten this twice and prefer
it to Bally's brunch. Cheaper, better atmosphere and food to match.
Others (such as yourself) might disagree.
Tao - Totally agree with you. Try the Peking Duck and Lobster Wontons.
Paris Steakhouse - Eaten here once, didn't love or hate it. No reason
to go back.
Alize - Agreed, an excellent restaurant.
Little Buddah - We prefer Tao but it is a good standby. Perhaps it's
too casual?
Okada - We have eaten here 3 times and we really enjoy it. Again we
prefer Tao slightly over Okada.
Hyakumi - Eaten here twice and found sushi to be OK. Wanted to like
to like to more than we did.
Rao's - What's up with this place? There are at least half dozen
better Italian joints on the strip alone. Eaten here twice because we
couldn't believe how average it was the first time and had to try
other things. It's not bad, just not great.
Empress Court - We also had the tasting menu and thought it was very
nice. We liked the service and room and thought the food was solid.
We would return because the prices were not outrageous.
Mesa Grill - You didn't mention but this is our favorite Harrah's
restaurant. We have been at least 6 times and have never been
disappointed.
Bradley Odgens - It's good not great (although many critics disagree).
Perhaps it's the fact that it's 50% more expensive than Mesa.
We have added B&B to our list of restaurants to try next trip!

chewy! You

Sterling

in price

recently.

have GREAT

always loves

good. Try

split is as

about $100
