Cheap Places to Eat in Blue Diamond

"At the helm of several Las Vegas Restaurants, including Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House, is Chef Emeril Lagasse. He has earned a reputation for delivering outstanding dishes, so guests at this restaurant enter with high expectations. Undoubtedly, these expectations are met on every occasion."

"Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House is a seafood haven featuring dishes by the world-famous chef, Emeril Lagasse. This casual restaurant is modern and sea-inspired."

"Mandalay BayBorder Grill takes inspiration from south-of-the-border, crafting a menu of unlimited shareable brunch plates for a fixed price of 39.99 per person (a few bucks less than pre-pandemic rates). Yucatan pork eggs Benedict, Peruvian shrimp and grits, and plantain empanadas lead a lineup of compelling dishes. In a town short on buffets these days, it's nice to still be able to enjoy as much (or as little) as you like."

"Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger’s beloved and accessible Border Grill is a good choice for families right before or after a visit to The Shark Reef, right next door. The two floors of patio dining make a terrific spot for weekend brunch. We love the many tacos and lots of shareable dishes, from the Yucatan pork to lomo saltado."

"With colorful murals and views over Mandalay Bay Beach, this festive eatery dishes up modern Mexican fare designed by chefs from Bravo's Top Chef Masters and the Food Network's Too Hot Tamales."

"The burger is a standout among cheap food options at Shake Shack, and the rest of the menu does not blow up your budget either. For vegetarians, the Shroom burger has a combo of muenster and cheddar cheeses that adds a nice bite to the flavor. This is the pinnacle of cheap eating on the Las Vegas strip.​"

"Shake Shack is one of the most popular Las Vegas family restaurants. Here, you and your tribe can eat easy to eat meals, refreshing beverages, and finger food."

"Veggie House is a no-frills spot in Las Vegas's extremely happening Chinatown that serves veggie versions of Chinese favorites thanks to Chef Albert Ho, who specializes in cooking vegetarian and vegan food. Order plant-based versions of crispy beef, General Tso's chicken, a variety of dim sum, fried rice, and more."

"This vegan Chinese spot features a menu created by Chef Kenny Chye (although he is no longer with the restaurant) and serves vegan Chinese food that makes some people question whether or not the food is actually vegan. Spoiler alert: it is."

"Found this place after craving shrimp and I definitely filled the craving. Every dish I have tried so far is delicious. This is the best vegan Asian food..."

"PalazzoThe concept began in Hong Kong and the name honors a historic address in New York's Chinatown, but with a mix of style and substance, Mott 32 feels right at home in Las Vegas. The dining room, tucked away in the back of the Palazzo casino, is a bold, modern space with secluded corners and large, comfortable booths for added intimacy. The Peking Duck, wood-roasted in a custom brick and clay oven, is the specialty, but it's hard to overlook other elevated takes on Cantonese cuisine—most notably, the use of Iberico pork and black shaved truffles in the dim sum menu."

"Located at The Palazzo, this show-stopping Chinese restaurant from the Maximal Concepts restaurant group leaves a lasting impression with its Vegas-meets-Hong Kong decor (a neon duck and feather boa chandelier are just a few eye-catching accents). The real star however, is the applewood-smoked Peking duck, which takes 48 hours to prepare and is carved tableside. It’s no wonder that after less than a year in business, Mott 32 was awarded Strip restaurant of the year by local Las Vegas NPR-affiliated magazine Desert Companion."

"Mott 32 explores immersive dining experiences that highlight the indulgent beauty of unlikely pairings. It embraces flavors and ingredients from around China and the world and delivers it as home cooking should be, in a more rustic and honest way."

"A post shared by Carlos Gutierrez (@karurosu_001) on Sep 6, 2019 at 12:43pm PDT. Another popular Chinese bistro is China A Go Go. The food tastes great, and the portions are big, especially for the price."

"Executive chef Patrick Lee offers authentic regional noodle dishes from Thailand, Japan, China, and Vietnam. Find dim sum at Noodles at the Bellagio from 11 a.m."

"Split an entrée, and you could keep your bill under $15 per person at Noodles at the Bellagio. For a splurge, try the Dim Sum or daily seafood specials."

"This cozy restaurant offers good food and a respite from the bells and whistles in the Bellagio casino just outside its door."

"The happy hour specials are hard to beat at the Yard House in the LINQ or Town Square. The portions are ample, and the beer selection is more than substantial. Bonus: If you just need a slice of pizza while sightseeing there is a good chance that you will pass right by Flour and Barley at the LINQ."

"Whether you’re here for the beer, the food or both, Yard House does not disappoint. It has every beer imaginable and the food menu goes on for days. Find a wide selection of sandwiches, pizzas, pasta, Asian cuisine and even an expansive vegetarian menu."

"If you’re wondering what to do in Vegas on a rainy day, consider a trip to the Adventuredome. It’s a gigantic indoor amusement park with everything from roller coasters to bungee jumping stations, so it can provide hours of entertainment regardless of what the weather is like. As a bonus, it’s open 365 days per year, so it’ll always be an option for you and the kids even if you’re visiting Las Vegas in the off-season."

"This is an indoor park filled with roller coasters, bumper cars and a ton of fun stuff over five acres of land. You can get an all-day pass or pay per ride as you go exploring the space. Whichever way you go, the kids will love you for bringing them here."

"You can’t beat a theme park when you’re looking for a fun-filled day for the whole family. Naturally, Las Vegas features a pretty amazing option. You’ll find Adventuredome Theme Park right under a huge pink dome behind Circus Circus."

"Rod Huebert, a native of California, took over the market in 2017 and has since expanded it to include six other locations throughout the city, including the market at Bruce Trent Park. Find fresh produce, handmade lotions and oils, jewelry, clothing and more. There’s often live music playing during the market’s opening hours, providing entertainment for all ages."

"Bruce Trent Park was called after the original Las Vegas parks superintendent, the park honors Bruce Trent’s passion for sports and exercises with a particular fitness course. A weekly farmer’s market occurs each Wednesday from 2-8 p.m. It is also a fantastic spot to celebrate or to simply have a special event."

"One of the most fascinating places to see Las Vegas art on the Strip is at the Aria Fine Arts Collection. Located along the Strip within the Aria Hotel complex, the Aria Fine Arts Collection highlights the works of many well-known artists from around the world including Maya Lin, James Turrell, Richard Long and Frank Stella. The fine arts collection is a true testament to the hotel which in itself is a work of art with aesthetically pleasing lines at every turn inside and out."

"People who tour the 21 public art sites around the CityCenter campus are generally committed art aficionados. While everyone else is gambling, partying, or shopping, visitors to the Aria Fine Art Collection get to take in a fabulous outdoor gallery housing works by top contemporary artists. Best of all, it's a free, self-directed walk, so the tour lasts as long as you want it to."

"Take a walk through the impressive Aria complex when you’re ready for an unparalleled experience with fine art and permanent sculptures. There isn’t one specific gallery of all the pieces here at Aria, so just enjoy the experience of wandering through the complex at a leisurely pace. You’ll get to see a magnificent gallery of art for free."

"Located beside the Linq Theatre on the famous Las Vegas Strip, the Museum of Selfies is an immersive, must-visit attraction with interactive exhibits where you can let your creativity run wild and nab the ultimate selfie in the amazing and colorful rooms. Whether you’re looking to see the world upside down or have always dreamed of relaxing in a gold bath, chilling in the emoji pool, or melt your brain in the optical illusion bathroom, the Museum of Selfies offers many creative spaces for those looking for some unique and fun holiday snaps, making it one of the best museums in Las Vegas for memories!"
