We were in Vegas a couple of weeks ago at the MGM Grand. We got a GREAT deal on our rooms and since we drove it only cost us a couple of tanks of gas to get there and back. But man oh man, the food there is NOT cheap. LOL
Gone are the $3 steaks and $5 all-you-can-eat buffets (at least on the strip -there are some deals to be had if you stay downtown). We NEARLY ate at Joël Robuchon's (voted Chef of the Century) restaurant at the Grand knowing it would cost an arm and leg but when we calculated just how much that arm and leg would run us, we passed. It would have been hard for the two of us to escape there without dropping $400-450. And yet his place was packed! Man, I'd love to be waiter there!
