Whether you want to indulge yourself in one of the celebrity chef’s restaurants on the Strip, or save money and eat downtown, one thing is for sure. Las Vegas has incredible food. For steak and table side Caesar salads, check out Andiamo Italian Steakhouse. Bardot Brasserie at the Aria Resort is Chef Michael Mina’s place to indulge in French cuisine. Think traditional French comfort food like mussels, tuna nicoise salad, steak frites, and steak tartare. The Egg & I is everyone’s favorite greasy spoon breakfast spot, and has a variety of choices such as biscuits and gravy and eggs Benedict.
6. Have The Richard Petty Driving Experience
Race fans, if the experience of travelling at 165 mph around the 22 degree banked raceway at Las Vegas Speedway is one that you want to have, then go for The Richard Petty Driving Experience. You will experience a 3 lap ride-along, and learn about the speedway, cars and feature of the complex.
Great ideas. The Bowl of Fire is such an amazing place to hike and explore the beautiful creations of erosion. And the performances and cuisine offer great experiences in such a rich and vibrant city. – Mary @ Green Global Travel
