The best cheap breakfast options in Las Vegas

September 26, 2021 by lvd0zias

For those of us who are actually up in time for breakfast in Las Vegas, there are lots of options. And as with everything Vegas, you can usually find what you are craving for a range of prices. We have compiled a list of the best cheap breakfast options in Las Vegas (or at least reasonably priced) so you can get your day started without breaking the bank.

10. Village Pub and Café

Location – Ellis Island Hotel, 4178 Koval Lane, one block east of the Las Vegas Strip

The original Village Pub location was opened in 1968, on the corner of Koval and Flamingo, where Ellis Island Casino & Brewery sits today, as a small locals’ bar with only two items on the menu; a bowl of chili and a ham sandwich. They have now expanded to over 12 locations in Vegas and are known for great food, at great prices.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner or late night, the Village Pub & Café is sure to satisfy your cravings. With prices that won’t break the bank, the menu has a wide variety of items always available to ensure that 2 a.m. steak craving is satisfied.

The Breakfast Special, which is not on the menu, is Steak and Eggs for $6.99. An eight-ounce New York steak grilled over the open flame, served with two eggs any style, house made potatoes and your choice of toast. Even cheaper, but just as yummy is the Two Eggs Any Style breakfast. Two eggs cooked any style served with housemade potatoes and toast for $5.99.

Great food, good sized portions, great price.

9. La Salsa Cantina

Location – inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Hotel, 3663 Las Vegas Blvd South

La Salsa Cantina offers fresh versions of traditional Mexican fare and a full bar featuring 40 premium tequilas, specialty rum drinks, wine and a full compliment of Mexican beers and its signature “Margarita by the Yard”, an actual yard-long flask filled with the award-winning libation.

This location at the Miracle Mile shops at Planet Hollywood was opened May 11, 2002. For those of you old enough to remember, it was called the Desert Passage at Aladdin back then.

The Breakfast Special comes with 2 eggs any style, choice of bacon, ham or sausage, southwest potatoes and choice of corn or flour tortilla for $4.79. But you will need to get there before noon when the special ends. No reservations. As a bonus, Bloody Mary’s are only 0.99 cents.

Excellent service, great price, good food. Arrive early to avoid a lineup.

8. Eggslut

Location – inside the Cosmopolitan Hotel, 3708 Las Vegas Blvd. South

Eggslut is a chef driven, gourmet food concept founded in 2011. It’s inspired by a true love for eggs. The menu is a balance of comfort and innovation, celebrating food that appeals to both novice and extreme foodies through classic comfort fare with a twist, all encompassing the key ingredient, eggs.

With an average cost between $7 – $10 Eggslut may not fall perfectly into the cheap eats category. The prices are reasonable, and the sandwiches excellent. The Bacon, Egg & Cheese sandwich is our favorite. Hardwood smoked bacon, cage-free over medium egg, cheddar cheese and chipotle ketchup in a warm brioche bun.

Friendly service, great food, good price. The lineups can be long. Although they move fast, be prepared to wait.

7. Ocean One Bar and Grille

Location – inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Hotel, 3663 Las Vegas Blvd South

Next on our list of the best cheap breakfast options in Las Vegas is Ocean One Bar & Grille that brings its famous 3-for-1 all-day happy hour specials to its fifth location – inside the Miracle Mile Shops. This upscale bar and restaurant is a regular spot for the after-work crowd to socialize with friends and meet new people. Ocean One Bar & Grille offers classic bar and grill menu items, like burgers, salads and appetizers, as well as fresh fish, steak, chicken and chop specialties. Additionally, Ocean One Bar & Grille boasts one of the best values on the Strip – most lunch items are $3.99 and most dinner items are only $6.99.

For breakfast, give the 2 Eggs Any Style a try. 2 eggs your way with house potatoes, toast, and choice of ham, bacon or sausage for $5.99. And of course, Ocean One Bar and Grille is famous for 3 for 1 Cocktails for only $10 (no sharing).

Good food, great price, incredible drink offer.

6. Earl of Sandwich

Location: inside Planet Hollywood Resort, 3667 Las Vegas Blvd South

A sandwich is much more than just meat between two slices of bread. The extensive menu at Earl of Sandwich pays tribute to the art of sandwiches with fresh-baked, artisan bread and the finest ingredients at this delightfully upscale sandwich shop.

What makes Earl of Sandwich so great is not only the incredible tasting sandwiches, but also reasonable prices. For a fast, casual breakfast this is the place. All the breakfast sandwiches are under $5.00, like the Ham & Swiss with ham, swiss, sour cream & mustard sauce for $4.99. Breakfast is available from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Good food, good portion, fast and casual.

5. Hash House a Go Go

Location: inside Plaza Hotel, 1 North Main Street downtown Las Vegas

“Twisted farm food” is what happens when homestyle Indiana favorites meet the excess of the Strip. Famous for creative menu offerings, oversized portions, unique presentation and flavorful dishes using the freshest ingredients, Hash House A Go Go is home to breakfasts, one pound stuffed burgers , colossal salads, and a variety of innovative dishes at dinner. Decadent desserts like the Chocolate Snickers Bread Pudding and a drink menu renowned for its mimosas and Bloody Mary’s plus freshly squeezed juices plus the house favorite Kiwi Watermelon Lemonade round out Hash House A Go Go’s offerings.

The Two Egg Breakfast includes two eggs any style, served with potatoes and your choice of bacon, sausage links, turkey sausage patties, plus fruit garnish and biscuit or toast for $9.99. Although there are three other locations in Vegas including one at the LINQ and another at the RIO, the above breakfast special only appears on the Hash House a Go Go Plaza location.

Good price, good food, good portion.

4. Donut Bar

Location: 124 South 6th Street

Modern counter offering coffee & oversized donuts in inventive flavors like mud pie & caramel latte. Want to taste one of the most ordered items on the menu at this morning go-to? Order the apple fritter, or try the creme brulee and the strawberry split, which are two of the items commonly ordered together.

Our favorite is the Big Poppa Tart Donut (choose s’mores, strawberry or blueberry) for $5.00. Don’t let the price fool you, this is a BIG donut. The smaller donuts, such as the Boston Crème (yum!) are $3.00.

Open from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. (8-12 Saturday and Sunday), the Donut Bar is a big hit.

Light, fluffy donuts, friendly staff, known to close when they run out of donuts!

3. House of Blues Restaurant and Bar

Location: inside Mandalay Bay Hotel, 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd

House of Blues Restaurant & Bar is a unique dining experience featuring a menu created by noted celebrity chef Aarón Sanchez. Signature dishes include shrimp and grits, meatball sliders, hand stretched grilled flatbreads, chile braised short ribs and street tacos.

Open for breakfast, the Breakfast Special includes 2 eggs any style, toast, hash browns and choice of meat for $12.99. Although not the cheapest breakfast on the list, the atmosphere is excellent. Plus, if you are staying at Mandalay Bay or W Las Vegas, your choices are limited so this becomes much more attractive.

Good food, OK price, good atmosphere qualifies it for our list of the best cheap breakfast options in Las Vegas.

2. Blondies Sports Bar and Grill

Location: inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Hotel, 3663 Las Vegas Blvd South

Blondies offers a traditional bar menu of starters and entrees, sandwiches, salads, pizzas and desserts. Blondies carries every big sports game on its over 60 plasma and big-screen televisions. Blondies Sports Bar and Grill Las Vegas is your one stop shop for an awesome atmosphere, great service, amazing drinks, and delicious food!

Open for breakfast, this place is incredible. The Breakfast Special is your choice of a burrito filled with scrambled eggs, ham sausage, bacon, hash browns, jack cheese, Pico de Gallo, wrapped in a flour tortilla OR a plate of 2 eggs, bacon or sausage and country potatoes. Either only $3.99 each.

Great food, incredible price, excellent atmosphere.

1. Pyramid Café

Location: inside Luxor Hotel, 3900 South Las Vegas Blvd

Last on our list of the best cheap breakfast options in Las Vegas is Pyramid Cafe which features breakfast specials including golden buttermilk pancakes, three-egg omelets and cranberry walnut French toast. Try the continental breakfast with your choice of fresh pastries, juice, coffee and tea. For lunch, sink your teeth into a Philly cheese steak sandwich, oven-roasted baron on beef, or chicken Caesar on focaccia. You can choose from a selection of specialty burgers and soups. For a casual dining experience, the Pyramid Cafe offers prime rib entrees, Atlantic salmon and chicken parmesan.

Open for breakfast and lunch only (closes at 2 p.m.). For a great beginning to your day, try the Chicken & Waffles, Pyramid Stacks or the French Toast Sticks! Or, if you want something a little faster, try the continental Breakfast or Breakfast Parfait.

Our favorite breakfast is the Pyramid Classic for $16.49. It includes three bacon or two sausages, two eggs, hash browns and choice of toast. It is the most expensive breakfast on our list, but the food is excellent, quiet atmosphere, and is a reasonable option for those staying on the south end of the Strip. Excellent food, friendly staff, quiet atmosphere.

Las Vegas Hidden Treasures

September 26, 2021 by lvd0zias

Each trip to Vegas usually includes discovering something you did not know about. Maybe it is a store you are seeing for the first time, an art display, a special view, or a show you did not know was playing. In the Entertainment Capital of the World you almost always come across some Las Vegas Hidden Treasures.

With so many incredible sites to see and activities to do in Las Vegas, it can be easy to miss or overlook some of them, even when they are right in front of you! Let’s have a look at some of our favorite Las Vegas hidden treasures.

1. THE Steak House

Location: Circus Circus Hotel, 2880 S Las Vegas Blvd

A Las Vegas dining tradition for over 30 years, THE Steak House at Circus Circus is acclaimed for serving the finest quality Midwestern beef, dry-aged to perfection in a glass-enclosed room viewable from the main dining room. Prime cuts are prepared over an exhibition-style, open-hearth mesquite charcoal broiler.

If you are familiar with THE Steak House, referring to it as a hidden treasure will seem strange. But that is just it. THE Steak House is so obvious it is easily missed. Entering Circus Circus from the Las Vegas Strip, curve around the Main Casino then continue straight, passing Krispy Kreme. THE Steak House will be on your left. No fancy eye catching exterior. No grand view of inside the restaurant or exterior seating area.

The Steakhouse at Circus Circus

THE Steak House is known for great food. With an average rating of 4.5\5 on Tripadvisor, the reviews say it all. A simple one-page menu with appetizers, salads, entries and accompaniments to choose from. Entries come with soup or salad and the portions won’t leave you hungry. You won’t find hamburgers, chicken fingers or pasta type items on this menu, they stick to seafood and steak. And do it well. They claim to have the best cheese cake ever (even at times offering to not charge you for the cake if you disagree!). Not surprisingly they are right, the cheese cake is incredible.

The atmosphere is unique. The lighting and décor seemingly transport you back to the 70’s, but not in a bad way. Everything is neat and clean. It feels like old school Vegas, almost as though it could be a scene from the movie Casino.

2. Le Macaron

Location: in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian hotel, 3355 S Las Vegas Blvd

Le Macaron is a franchise with locations all across the United States. They are known for the macaron which is considered to be the jewel of French pastries in Europe. And they don’t disappoint. The macarons delight, with the first bite being a surprise for those who have never tried one. The second bit you will notice the flavor. And by the third bite, it is nothing but pleasure. In total, a mouthful of heaven!

Las Vegas Hidden Treasures - Le Macaron Venetian Las Vegas

3. Hard Hat Lounge

Location: 1675 Industrial Rd, Las Vegas

Perhaps best known for the mural on the wall allegedly painted by Frank Bowers in 1962 to pay off a bar tab, the Hard Hat Lounge is referred to as a dive bar. Dive Bars are typically a small, unglamorous, eclectic, old-style bar with inexpensive drinks and may feature dim lighting, shabby or dated decor, neon beer signs, packaged beer sales, cash-only service, and a local clientele. Which perhaps describes this place perfectly.

Las Vegas Hidden Treasures - Hard Hat Lounge

Built in 1958, and a full bar since 1962, the 24-hour location with an outdoor patio is best known for catering to local workers, and being in an industrial area, that is to be expected. This place has a real authentic feeling. The vibe is chill and the staff is super nice.

If you are looking for an authentic Vegas dive bar experience, the Hard Hat Lounge fits the bill. Their vegan pizza is popular – we had pepperoni pizza and it was delicious!

4. Frankie’s Tiki Room

Location: 1712 West Charleston Blvd., Las Vegas

Frankie’s Tiki Room is a unique combination of south seas exotica and modern primitivism, with just a hint of Las Vegas kitsch. A place where you can escape to the fantasy 24/7.

The interior of Frankie’s was built by Bamboo Ben, the world’s foremost tiki bar designer and grandson of Eli Hedley, famous for creating the décor at such fabulous destinations as the original Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland and the Las Vegas classic Aku Aku at the Stardust. Frankie’s also boasts original artwork and carvings by such renown artists as Shag, Bosko Hrnjak, Crazy Al Evans, Tom “Big Toe” Laura, Doug Horne and the revered godfather of all tiki carvers Leroy Schmaltz.

Las Vegas Hidden Treasures - Frankies Tiki Room Las Vegas

Get boozed-up amid a remarkable combination of traditional island decor and modern lowbrow art while listening to a soundtrack that bounces from exotica and surf to psychobilly and garage. Frankie’s is a one-of-a kind experience that will absolutely blow your mind.

The atmosphere is dark (no windows) and smoky, in a good way. Hawaiian music, and drinks add to the cool, mellow vibes! You will forget you are in Vegas! As a tourist, Frankie’s Tiki Room is off the beaten path, but this is one Las Vegas hidden treasure worth discovering.

How to Experience the Las Vegas Strip to the Fullest on a Tight Budget

August 26, 2021 by lvd0zias

The Las Vegas Strip provides glitz and glamour. It also has an “expensive” connotation. Therefore, many travelers avoid the Strip because they are concerned they may not be able to afford the trip. Fortunately, experiencing the Las Vegas Strip to the fullest on a tight budget is not only possible, it’s actually quite simple. We’ll show you how to How to Experience the Las Vegas Strip to the Fullest on a Tight Budget …

Every Visitor Must Experience the Bellagio Fountains Show
Las Vegas is known for its amazing shows. One of the best shows in town – the Bellagio Fountains show – is free. In front of the world famous Bellagio Hotel and Casino rests a row of gorgeous fountains. From 3 p.m. until midnight (Mon-Fri) and 12 p.m. until midnight (weekends) – once every half hour – dance in unison to the sounds of Frank Sinatra or other legendary musicians.

To ensure you have a good view of the fountain show, make sure you arrive at least 5-10 minutes early. There are usually places to stand with a great view either across the street in front of Paris Hotel & Casino or directly in front of the Bellagio fountains as long as you arrive a bit early.

Play a Role in Determining the Fate of a Potential CBS Television Show
Tired of all those mediocre television shows that come and go? Here is your chance to help determine the fate of potential CBS television shows at MGM Grand. Upon entering the MGM Grand hotel you will notice employees passing out tickets to the CBS Research Center. These tickets are good for free admission to a taping of a pilot episode of a potential CBS television series.

You won’t be able to choose the type of show you get to watch, but the experience is entertaining regardless. During the show, you will rate how interested you are in the show. Your opinions will be used to determine if the show will ever make it to television. This is a cool experience and will only take about an hour out of your day. After you’re done rating the show, you will receive some free coupons. Sometimes patrons receive cash as well ($20-$50 usually).

Nothing Beats Sightseeing in Las Vegas
You’ve seen pictures of the bright lights and fancy hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. Now it’s time to experience it firsthand. Sightseeing is something every Las Vegas visitor must do. There are few places in the world with better sightseeing opportunities than the Las Vegas Strip.

You will have a few different sightseeing options. You can walk the Strip, which is about 4 miles in length (preferred). The monorail costs $5 per way and that isn’t a bad idea if you want to avoid driving through Las Vegas Boulevard or walking. The other options are to ride the Deuce or Strip Express bus ($8 for 24 hours) or drive. Whichever sightseeing option you choose, make sure you don’t miss stopping by any of the following spots (and don’t forget your camera!):

• Conservatory & Botanical Gardens and Chocolate Fountain inside Bellagio
• Eiffel Tower outside Paris Hotel and Casino
• Forum Shoppes at Caesars Palace
• M&M World next to MGM Grand
• Hershey’s Chocolate World at New York New York
• CityCenter
• The Linq (shopping and dining center next to Flamingo and The LINQ hotel)

Start at Mandalay Bay (south end of the Strip) and work your way to the Stratosphere (north end of the Strip, and also one of the world’s highest points). You can spend hours of fun simply by walking or driving down the Strip, viewing all the fancy hotels and sights. At night, the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip provide some amazing scenery.

Eating Cheap Scrumptious Meals Near the Strip
Although many restaurants on or near the Las Vegas Strip are expensive, there are some hidden gems. Whether you’re in the mood for a pizza, sandwich or a steak, Las Vegas has an affordable tasty restaurant to satisfy your appetite. The first hidden gem is located directly behind the Strip – Ellis Island Casino.

Ellis Island is a block east of the Horseshoe, or a 5-minute walk from the Strip. At Ellis Island, you can indulge in the best $8.99 complete steak dinner you’ll ever have. The meal includes a tasty 8-ounce steak, vegetables, a choice of potato, a side salad and a beer or root beer. It’s tough to eat better for less than $10.

Not in the mood for a steak? There are many other inexpensive options. Grab a delicious footlong hot dog inside Casino Royale for just $1.99. If that doesn’t strike your fancy either, certainly one of these options will:

  • A burger at Johnny Rockets. There are nearly a dozen on the Strip. You will find a coupon on Groupon for $6, which is good for $12 worth of food.
  • A slice of pizza, side salad and soda at Pop’s Pizza. Located directly across Las Vegas Boulevard from Mandalay Bay. Less than $10 for this combo. Pizza there is very good.
  • There are food courts in most of the hotels on the Strip with inexpensive popular restaurants such as McDonald’s, Subway, etc.

Enjoying your trip to Las Vegas doesn’t have to be expensive. We hope us showing you How to Experience the Las Vegas Strip to the Fullest on a Tight Budget has provided many great activities and places to eat on the Las Vegas Strip that are inexpensive. Enjoy your vacation!

High Roller at The Linq

Caesars Entertainment has produced many awesome hotels and casinos on the Las Vegas Strip (Caesars Palace, Paris, Horseshoe, etc.). Early in 2014, they opened an entertainment and dining district right on the Las Vegas Strip called The Linq. The Linq is home to some fancy restaurants and shops.

But the main attraction is the High Roller. What is the High Roller? It is, as of 2014, the world’s tallest Ferris wheel. Riding the High Roller is quite an experience. Riders have an amazing view of the Las Vegas Strip. The view at night is out-of-this-world awesome. One ride lasts 30 minutes, which is one full revolution around. Prices are more expensive after dark and range from $19.95 to $44.95 for one-ride.

Additional Awesome Activities for Families

Looking for more activities to last your entire vacation? There are plenty more family friendly Las Vegas activities than our Top 5 list above. First off, sightseeing is a must when visiting the Las Vegas Strip. During summer months, Las Vegas temps almost always exceed 100-degrees so plan accordingly and drink plenty of water. When sightseeing, there will be a lot of walking involved. But it is well worth it because the views are stunning.

Shopping at the Premium Outlets just off the north end of the Strip is a great idea for those in need of new clothes at affordable prices from top brands. This is one of the best outlet malls you’ll ever find. Last but not least, The STRAT is home to some of the best thrill rides in the world. If you or your children have ever wanted to ride a roller coaster atop one of the tallest points in the world, head up to the Stratosphere and fulfill your fantasies.

Las Vegas truly is a town for everyone, and that’s what makes it such a popular tourist destination. There are plenty of fun activities for parents, young children and teenagers. Las Vegas isn’t just a giant adult playground. It is an everyone playground. Enjoy your trip!
