My list:

1. Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris
2. Old Homestead at Caesars
3. Nobu at Caesars (steak, mushroom soup, avocado rolls)
4. Room service at Caesars
5. Room service at Bellagio

Basically I'm a steak guy but I like a minimal amount of Asian food but I had to give up sushi because of my transplants and dietary restrictions. I'm also a creature of habit. I'd rather go to a restaurant that I am comfortable with and familiar with than try something new.

Some of the restaurants I've tried but are not my favorites and don't necessarily want to return to are Bobby Flay's and Rao at Caesars. Beijing Noodle 9 at Caesars I will definitely not return to.

Guys, I am no food connoisseur, but I did go to the Circus Circus steakhouse a couple of times way back when. Is it still considered a high quality place? It seemed so misplaced in that mess of a casino.

I really enjoyed the "old school" old steakhouse at Bally's. I ate at a steakhouse in the Bally's/Paris complex last year, but don't remember if it was branded. It was not an old school look.

1. Table 10 at Venetian
2. Bouchon Bakery at venetian (breakfast)
3. Any Michael Mina restaurant
4. Raku (off strip)
5. Rao at Caesars

I have threatened to try Beijing Noodle for years and somehow never made it. Curious about your bad experience there.

Table 10 is my absolute favorite. I'm not a steak guy---seafood is my preference. $1.00 oysters at a happy hour is a big thrill for me.

In my days as a big gambler, they treated me like the second coming at the Ballys "old school" steakhouse. The new one is BLT which has some name recognition and reputation but I didn't care for.

By "top five," I'm going with fun, not cost. I have a friend who is a pizza connoisseur and he rates hundreds of pizzas. He recommends the Di Fara's Pizza out in the strip mall immediately before Red Rock. If you can't get there, the Detroit pizza at Pizza Rock downtown is his choice, also. I haven't gotten his word on the Di Fara's that opened in the Caesars food court. He rates different locations separately.

I really liked that place. Vintage photos on the wall. Very old school. The waiters were also very old school. A whole different style.

It just wasn't good. Food that was spicy was too spicy. Lack of substance for me, a steak eater. Too expensive for the level of service, setting.

I agree that it's overpriced for what it is. I like the food, but I've only ordered from the vegetable and noodle menus. In those dishes, I've found the spice levels fairly tame compared to most Asian restaurants. If you eat at the counter you can watch the man making noodles while you eat. But it's not a big meal although the price tag is. If you're used to having a big dinner, like a steak and appetizer, then you'd probably want to go there for lunch.

I have to admit something: several times I took a break away from Caesars, got in my car and did a drive thru at Jack In The Box for a grilled cheese. It was worth it even tipping the valet out and back in.

I'll also go with Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris, I had the best Filet Mignon of my life last November on my wife's birthday. We were seated at a table next to George Foreman, I was going to give him a joke about grills, but he seemed engrossed in a conversation with his table mate (a pretty young lady) and I thought I'd respect his privacy.

How about Lotus of Siam?

I've read about that place being great for years.

Anybody here ever been, or maybe knows someone that has been and shared their experience?

[Dan Druff]

Honestly I'm surprised at some of the answers here.

Raos, for example, has a bad reputation and is seen as very inferior to the NY version.

The Carnival World Buffet at Rio is considered a has-been.

Old Homestead is a typical prime steakhouse, but is WAY overpriced (a lot more expensive than Mastros Beverly Hills, for example), and it has ZERO atmosphere.

Here are my favorite places to eat in Vegas:

- Nobu, Caesars Palace. Expensive, but really good.

- Twist, Mandarin Oriental. Mostly overlooked, but is owned and directed by Michelin 3-star chef Pierre Gagnaire, who makes personal appearances there a few times per year. Not cheap, but not backbreakingly expensive.

- Gordon Ramsay Steak House, Paris. Aside from them double-charging my RCs one time, the food there was really good, and the service was also good.

- Lawry's, not in a hotel (on Flamingo Blvd). Not for everyone, but this is where you should go if you like prime rib.
