Yes, the fine dining choices in Las Vegas have multiplied to such numbers that it would take you forever to try them all. No they are not cheap, unfortunately that means you might not have Foie Gras or Seared Halibut on a bed of Saffron Rice or tiny over priced Filet. If you are going cheap you can still eat well.

• Try a few of these 25 for under $25 restaurants Most of these restaurants have meals that can get you out for under $15. Just do not drink any alcohol and you should be fine.

• Hotel food courts can be found in almost every hotel and they vary from pizza and hot dogs to full blown tours of cultural cuisine.
