As more and more celebrity chefs choose to work in Vegas, this has meant one thing: the cost of eating has risen significantly in the last two decades. But you don’t have to lose your shirt to get a great meal in Sin City.

Here are some ways you can save money on the Strip while still eating like a king of queen. All it takes is a little common sense and creativity.

First, if you want to splurge, do it at lunch. Instead of spending a fortune on dinner at that fancy restaurant, go for lunch and you’ll find that entrees are a third less expensive.

That’s just one example. In fact, many restaurants use the same menus as they do at dinner … and simply shave 25% to 50% off the cost of the items.

It’s a great way to figure out which of the big boys is really worth shelling out for, should you decide to do a blowout night on the town. Next, have a Strip picnic.

Yes, the temperatures can get downright Cialis Professional boiling come summer, and it can get pretty chilly in December and January, but the rest of the year, the weather’s, well, a picnic. So don’t feel like you have to have a sit-down-meal, or even a stand-up-and-graze-buffet for every meal.

Instead, grab some food on the run, a sandwich perhaps from Wichcraft, at the MGM Grand, or Capriotti’s in Red Rock Casino, or a sausage from Jody Maroni’s in NY, NY, and stroll with it down the Strip. If you need to sit, grab a show or take a breather in a lounge.

If you’re gambling, make sure someone knows it. If you lose enough of your money or time, you may just qualify for a free trip to the buffet.

So do sign up for the players-and-slots clubs at the casinos you plan on frequenting, and let the pit bosses know how happy you are to be losing your money to them. A lot depends on your stamina, how busy the casino is, or how generous the pit boss is feeling.

Next, follow Mom’s advice and eat a big breakfast. In terms of bang for your buck, there are few better investments than breakfast in Vegas.

Breakfast will usually cost half of what lunch does, and a third of what you’ll pay for dinner, and the portions in Vegas are massive. Besides, it’s healthier to have your bigger meals earlier in the day, anyway.

Next, go “ethnic.” Every major casino on the Strip has a Mexican restaurant, and its menu is always about half as pricey as the restaurants that surround it.

The same can be said for the Asian noodle places that have wiggled into many of the Strip casinos. Off Las Vegas Boulevard, most of the better restaurants are owned and run by immigrants, who bring all of their skills, exotic spices, and outsized ambitions to make it in America.

So you’re not only getting a great meal, you’re helping someone’s “American Dream” come true. Last, don’t be afraid to clip some coupons.

You know all those free magazines that you’ll find in your hotel room? Take a quick look through them.

Don’t read the reviews — they’ll be uniformly glowing, as the restaurant has paid for them to appear. Instead, troll for discount coupons.

As well, stop by the Tix4Tonight booths that sell half-price show tickets in various locations along the Strip. They now also sell coupons for $2-$4 which saves either 50% or 33% off the cost of entrees or 35% off the entire bill, including drinks (the type of discount varies by restaurant).

Using these coupons, you can pay $22 for a $44 rib eye steak at the Bally’s Steak House and saved 50% off the entrees at Mario Batali’s Enotec San Martin, which is in a prime location in “St. Mark’s Square” at the Venetian. A number of other fantastic gourmet restaurants are being discounted.

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to go to all of the high class over priced restaurants you want to eat at, without losing all your money to food which will be out of your system in a day. Play it smart, and you can have your cake and eat it too!
