Sure Las Vegas has some incredible restaurants but we need to be honest about the prices. They are outrageous, $350 for two people? Really! Find your way to a few places where good does not mean overpriced it means reasonably priced food. There are plenty of options for you to keep costs down.
Important to note, if you are looking to be frugal while in Las Vegas consider the choice of hotel when making a decision on your Las Vegas vacation. Do a little research and compare room rates before booking. You might save enough to have a very expensive Las Vegas meal.
Oyster Bar at Pennazi at Harrah's
Stay away from the beer and have yourself a bowl of chowder and the bread and crackers that com e with your meal. $10 dollars get you full, that is the way to do a cheap meal in Las Vegas
Maggiano's at the Fashion Show Mall
Family style is a good way to invite the cheap people like myself into an establishment. Large portions, free bread and water get you out of here with a good deal.
Noodles at Bellagio

If you like noodles you'll love this place. Personally, the Vietnamese noodles are a staple for me at Noodles in the Bellagio. You'll get out of here for a tiny amount on a relative scale to the rest of Las Vegas restaurants with far better quality.
Cheesecake Factory at the Forum Shops
The portions are large at the Cheesecake Factory and that usually means you can share. Order an Iced Tea and a Ceasar Salad and two people can load up on bread and a big salad for under $20.
Carnegie Deli at the Mirage
I always include the Carnegie Deli in the cheap food category of my daily excursions. Lets face it, more than a pound of corned beef for about $11 means you can share a sandwich and a drink for less than $20.
Burger Bar at Mandalay Place at the Mandalay Bay Hotel
A coke and a burger as you watch a game on the screens that surround the Burger Bar at the Mandalay Bay. Yes, you can order an outrageously expensive burger, but you don't have to. Go simple and your budget might include a beer.
The Brew Pub at Monte Carlo
The food is not over the top fantastic but it is cheap, consider that you most likely will have a beer and you might find this place does it for you. If you enjoy watching sports it makes this a great place.
Ah Sin at Paris Las Vegas
I'll be honest even I was surprised by the prices at Ah Sin. What you get is quality food and a decent choice of en tree's all for a very reasonable price. Once again, don't order alcohol! Twenty feet away in the casino the drinks are free, don't balloon your bill with something you can get for free.
Lucky Strike at the Rio
Bowl, drink, get a cheap meal. The restaurant is adjacent to the lanes and the food is typical of a chain, themed restaurant. It's reasonable and it won't break you.
P.F.Changs at Planet Hollywood
It's good and its is priced right. Stay away from the appetizers or the bill can rise sharply, however, if you choose to go with the lettuce wraps ask for a few extra pieces of iceberg and you might have an entire meal in an appetizer.
