And... Everything Else...

Not once on this trip to Las Vegas did we hit up a food court. Here's the low-down on all the other restaurants we opted to try out...

Gilley's at TI: This place was okay. The operator told us the only places open to eat at around 11:30 on a Tuesday night in Vegas was the McDonald's and Subway across the street from our hotel. Uh... not an option. So we walked around until we came up this place inside our hotel. I ordered barbeque with macaroni/cheese and corn on the cob; Mary Jo ordered the sampler appetizer platter. The food was okay. It came out hot and fresh, but it was nothing to write home about.

Chipotle: I guess this place is sort of like a Moe's Southwest Grill, or maybe like Baja Fresh. Anyway... it was really good. We got this on our walk back to TI the second night we were in Vegas. The burritos were hot and fresh and as big as your head, stuffed full of deliciously seasoned organic foods. LOVED IT!! I wish we had known about this place the night before when we sat down for dinner at Gilley's.

The Coffee Shop at TI: This place was open 24/7 I believe and it was right smack dab in the middle of the casino. We decided this was the place for breakfast on our last day in Las Vegas. By this time, Libbi and her husband, Aaron, had joined us and we sat down together for an expensive breakfast. I ordered a chicken quesadilla (Hey now! I'm not big on breakfast! lol), Mary Jo ordered a cup of grapefruit (she was sharing with Libbi), Libbi ordered this pancake tower thing (pancakes layered with sausage patties, covered with eggs - scrambled in this case - and bacon), and Aaron ordered this massive country fried steak with hasbrowns and toast. I'd have to say that breakfast was pretty good. The service wasn't great... the server left to go on break but no one else really checked after us for a while. It was good food, though.

Garden Buffet at South Point: We enjoyed dinner at this buffet on our last night in Las Vegas. Libbi was really wanting to eat there because she said they had great seafood. I, not being a seafood lover, didn't love this place. I ate a few things there and sampled a couple of desserts, but nothing was great about it. The Buffet at TI was so much better. I guess I got spoiled by that one.

I can't think of any other restaurants we tried on this trip, though Mary Jo did bring some really great snacks which helped us through the times when we were hungry between meals. LOL.
