Doesn't it freak you out when they ask you how you want your burgers done? Raw, med, well done?

Not really,lots of buger joints in the US ask that.I got the Kobe beef and realized I payed too much when I tried the wifes angus burger,man was that good.Jalapino bacon and a fried egg,ahhhhhhh still fresh in my memory

Spending 2 days in the bathroom on vacation time freaks me out! No matter how many times I go to the states it always catches me off guard when the server asks how I want my burger done. We just had an american burger franchise open in the Park (5 Guys Burgers & Fries), it's really good but they don't ask how you want the meat cooked.

I've stayed at the MGM Grand, The Luxor and Treasure Island multilple times. I like TI because it's fairly central and it isn't HUGE. The MGM is nice but damn it takes forever to walk through that place. The Luxor was two far at the one end of the strip for my liking.

I'm away from Canreef for a day & there's lots & lots of good info & options!

Thanks for your input guys!

I'm definitely going to stay on the strip. Maybe somewhere near the middle as I'm not planning to rent a car.

Burger Bar sounds like my dream come true. I'll try to persuade the other half... talking of food, I'm hoping to hit a few of the foodie places with Joel Rubouchon, Craft, Shibuya, Wolfgang Puck etc.

Anyone try the high end gourmet places?

Expedia are throwing in 2 tickets for shows so I might go & see KA or Zumanity.

Anyway, thanks again for your ideas.

Also with the buffets... Buy the Buffet pass. It was around $40 bucks but allowed you to have any buffet throughout the major hotel chains and all you can eat, anytime for a 24 hour timeframe. So if you want to put on 20 pounds and have a buffet marathon, that is a great deal!

As I stated prior, Table 10 - Emeril Legassi, was great... Will be about $100 bucks for 2 people with some drinks. Very good food, great portions, and of course Southern/Cajun if you like that stuff.

My wife had the scallops dish, and I must say it was TO DIE FOR!!!

Thanks for the tip. Good to see a foodie on Canreef.

$100 for 2 is very good value for a 'celeb' chef's joint. I'm not a huge fan of Southern/Cajan cuisine but might have a look for the seafood.

mmmmmm..... s-c-a-l-l-o-p-s
