Nice writeup chief but... no, it's not

I struggle to think of one place with better food in such a small area, it thrashes NY, London prob has better high end but LV does it on a higher average
Oh and we are not allowing any pretentious entries from the surrender monkeys
suppose Bray might have a claim in a good food / area ratio contest

Brought back about 35 kilos of new clothes though
I bet you have! It looks like a two or three new belt hole trip
Looks like great fun

It certainly doesn't thrash NYC, or London, Tokyo, San Sebastián. There's lots of pretty good restaurants, but low and high end it's got nothing compared to some other cities in the US.
NYC and London are so much bigger it's like comparing the Isle of Wight to England. Per square mile there is no better place on the planet to eat than Las Vegas. Or if there is, I have yet to find it.

Tokyo perhaps?
Then it depends how they measure Tokyo as it is HUGE ! A bit like if you think London ends when you get outside the circle line or is it outside the M25.

Michelin should stick to tyres and leave the food critique to Rotty and I

Soho then. Or, as I mentioned, San Sebastian.
Seriously, look at walking distance from Soho, the huge variety and quality vs. Vegas.
Soho is very good but I just think the diversity and quality in such concentration in Vegas is better. Each to their own I guess
I see you went to Hash House a Go Go? How far off the strip is that located? Walking distance?
I remember it from Man V Food. Their portion sizes looked crazy big. Did the quality match the quantity?
I went to the one in the M Resort. There are three in Vegas and one is on the strip in The Quad hotel. The food was good just the insane portion size overwhelms you. Since you eat with your eyes too you already feel full when it arrives. Its a novelty really but nothing special.
Forgive me for being nosy, but how much did you end up spending on food? I've been looking at various buffet and resteraunt websites for Vegas and it looks like between breakfast, lunch and dinner you could easily spend over $100 a day for one person, without even going that upmarket.
Or are there any ways of making it cheaper? Any ways of getting a free/discount meal without being a big gambler?

No
its very average food, nothing special at all, it is cheap though
Yikes! Mind you... I did spend £45 for a 3 course dinner in York, and that was only with a soft drink, so I'm not adverse to the idea of spending money for a good meal.
That's fine. I'm not that fussy. As long as its edible and cooked properly I rarely find a reason to complain. Even the budget buffets would be fine for me

Denny's breakfast comes in at about 8-10 dollars for scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, coffee and juice. It's huge and keeps you full for ages.
Lunches, we drove to places like in and out burger or Memphis championship BBQ where you can eat lunch for under ten dollars.
Dinner, well, it's as cheap or expensive as you want. Outback is a reasonably priced, above UK quality steak place. Here's a menu for the one by the south outlets.

Vegas is as expensive or as cheap as you want it to be for food. In terms of how much we spent a day I can't remember,but certainly not lots in contrast to last year's trip to Nice and Monaco
