I recently posted about cheap buffets, but let’s be honest. Even with coupons, buffets are a bit more of a luxury. For those who are lighter eaters and won’t benefit from an all-you-can-gorge fest offered through the Buffet of Buffets, here’s a few ways to eat cheap in Vegas – like, really cheap.
The best way to get cheap food is to research what nights and what times already-inexpensive restaurants are offering deals. If there’s a particular food you’re looking for, just type that with “cheap” and “Vegas” into Google, and you may pull up some awesome cheap eats. One of my favorite picks is Pink Taco’s dollar tacos. Check their website or Google the days and times – I believe they offer the special weekdays, once for lunch and once for dinner. Although it’s a bit more expensive, P.J. Clarke’s offers dollar oyster shooters between 3 and 6pm on weekdays. You can also get two-for-one drinks here, so it’s a good place for a quick snack and drink.
The Riviera, one of the cheapest hotels on the Strip, also offers some awesome food deals. PennyTown, their penny slot casino serves hot dogs, fries and more for 99¢. Another cheap bet for hot dogs is the hot dog cart at the Orleans – I’ve never had it, but I’ve heard it’s only 75¢!
For a more substantial meal, one of the best “secret” meals on the strip is the $7.77 Gambler’s Special at Mr. Lucky’s in the Hard Rock. If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s actually not offered on the menu, but you can still ask for it. The dish offers steak and shrimp for under $8! If you’re willing to travel off the Strip, Ellis Island Casino and Brewery has a similar off-menu special; for 6.99 you get steak, salad, baked potato and root beer. You’ll have to ask your waitress for these deals, so write them down if you can’t remember the price or what they consist of.
Coupons are also a big help, and sometimes if you search the internet, you can find coupons for already discounted meals. Here’s one of my favorite websites that features a ton of great deals:
