PRO’s

  • Cheap food, if you’re in the mood for Chinese but don’t want to spend a lot of money
  • Several locations, easy to find and reach
  • Small place, more suitable for take-out but pretty confy if you’d rather sit at a booth and eat there
  • Not crowded, usually you don’t have to wait in line to get your food
  • Fast service, I got my food in a few minutes
  • Pretty friendly Chinese staff
  • The choices of food are very interesting and diverse, ranging from Moo Shu Chicken or Beef, General Chicken, Egg Foo Young, Wonton Soup, Crab Rangoon, to Chop Suey
  • They have lunch specials, from 11 AM to 4 PM, you can get egg drop soup, fried rice, Lo Mein noodles and your choice of meat or vegetables for around $6
  • They have family specials
  • Vegetarian specialities and seafood
  • They deliver

CON’s

  • The place looks more like a fast-food, pretty small, not really a restaurant atmosphere. More suitable for a quick lunch, take-out or delivery
  • You get what you pay for: a quick Chinese meal, just like Panda’s or any other Chinese fast food. Don’t expect anything special, like an authentic Chinese atmosphere
  • The lunch specials are small (but still worth the $6) 
  • It’s a place for locals more than tourists, located off the Strip, you’d have to take at least 2 buses to get there from a hotel

Overall, I’d say it’s a good deal to eat there if you’re in the neighbourhood and in mood for Chinese.

Steakhouse 46 (The Flamingo)

If you’re in the Flamingo, and want a fancy dinner, or maybe you want to impress your lady, this is the place to go.

 

You can make reservations here:  (702) 733-3333

Hours: Dinner: 5:30PM - 10:30PM; Nightly

Cost: 25-40 $

           

PRO’s:

  • The menu includes aged beef and fresh seafood,  gourmet cuisine at an affordable price (cheaper than a lot of other steakhouses)
  • The  furnishing is fairly attractive and sumptuous, and the tables candlelit. This creates a romantic atmosphere
  • It offers a large selection of wines
  • The service is very good
  • You get discounts when you purchase show tickets for the Flamingo (I’ve got a show ticket for George Wallace that came with a discount for the Steakhouse)
  • There’s a private dining room, where you can bring 20-40 friends! (if you can find that many)

CON’s:

  • The room is too big and apparently it can get noisy (ruins the romantic atmosphere)
  • The prices are high for the average consumer, but I think they’re not as high as many other steakhouses. It’s not a place where you’d wanna wine and dine your lady every night!       

Overall, I think it’s a pretty nice and classy place you’d wanna go for a special occasion. Maybe to celebrate your wedding anniversary, or just to have the experience of fine dinning in Vegas.
