    John,

    I am going to Vegas this weekend for my best friend’s bachelor party. We’re looking for a place to have dinner before our debauchery begins. Looking for something relatively cheap (25-35 a person) and it doesn’t have to be on the strip. Any suggestions? I really would appreciate it. Thanks.

    Hehe. I’ll miss Vegas for the next 3 weeks. Still, I’ll try my best to make Sir Bierce proud here in The Land of “The Real Housewives”. ;-)

    DK-

    If you like burgers, go to Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay. You’ll be most likely to stay within your budget (and not subject yourself to crap) there.

    clue-

    I don’t know about “far superior”, but LBS is another good burger spot. It’s just FAR AWAY from the action on The Strip, so I don’t know if a bunch of partying bachelors want to go that far off The Strip just to eat.

    LBS is a good burger, and Red Rock is a nice casino. I wouldn’t truck it out there JUST for a burger, but it if you work in some casino and bar action too, it might be a fun way to start an evening.

    For DK, I’ll suggest Grand Lux at either Venetian or Palazzo. Good food, great selection, large portions, reasonable prices. You can even include a drink (or 2?) and stay under your $35 cap.
