 Where to eat is someone else is picking up the check?
I would suggest for an overpriced casual meal, Wolfgang Puck's at the
MGM. Its mostly foo-foo and they tack on 80% more just because Puck
thought about making it at some time. Its interesting taste though.
I've always said it would be a good place to go eat if somebody was
paying.
Everything "fine dining" at the MGM is so overpriced. If the intent
is just to overpay, then you have your choice at the MGM. Quality is
nothing above the ordinary though.
I honestly think the best steakhouse is Bally's. I also think that
the prices are a little higher than they should be. But then, I've
never actually had to pay for any more than picking up the tip on a
comped meal there. It would be a place that you can well get his
money's worth of a meal.
The Bellagio Cafe is overpriced. Its a nice atmosphere, especially
with a table overlooking the pool and gardens. The service has always
been good. The food is good but not exceptional. They sure are proud
of what they charge. It probably 20 percent higher than several other
places with the quality of food and service. I guess you are paying
for the atmosphere.
I would say that the highest ratio of $/food is the Bellagio Buffet.
Sure the buffet is good. Some have claimed it the best buffet in
town. That is like saying its the best toenail on your foot. In your
scheme to get good food at a high price, you can't do any better than
the Bellagio Buffet. And you can save that for near the end of the
trip, when he might be feeling a bit strapped by the other restaurants
you've visited. This way, you can say, "Let's take it easy, just go
to a buffet tonight."
