Food halls for a group
When a group cannot agree, a food hall solves it. Proper Eats at Aria takes walk-ins for burgers, sushi hand rolls, deli sandwiches, ramen and salads. Famous Foods Street Eats at Resorts World has counters for dumplings, pho, hot chicken, tacos and noodles. Neither publishes one price, but most counters sit comfortably in cheap-eats territory.
Before a pool day
Eat before you go in: most resort pools and dayclubs do not allow outside food. Eggslut at The Cosmopolitan opens at 7am, from Monday to Thursday until 2pm and Friday to Sunday until 3pm, which makes it the quick breakfast before Marquee Dayclub. Where to eat near every dayclub has the options at each resort.
Stretching the budget
- Breakfast specials before noon, such as La Salsa Cantina’s at $6.99.
- Graveyard specials overnight, such as Village Pub’s steak and eggs.
- Share a burger counter meal instead of paying resort restaurant prices for lunch.
- Budget for tax and tip: the prices here are before both.
