However, there's a great college dive with good Mexican food. I think it's Carlos Murphy's... in the same shopping plaza as the Morrocan place, on Maryland Parkway, as is Tower Records, I think. > >If you'll have a car, there is a lodge up Mount Charleston that has >excellent food and a knock-out romantic atmosphere.

RESTAURANTS IN LAS VEGAS

Post or email >>>Beverly >>>e-mail [email removed] As far as Mexican food goes, I recommend Tres Lobos in the Stardust. It is a hotel restaurant, and it isn't all that cheap, but you can eat good food (and plenty of it) for $10-12 per person.
>We will be in Las Vegas over New Years. Any suggestions for interesting >ethnic restaurants? Thank for any suggestions. Post or email There are at least two good hole-in-the-wall Thai places in Vegas. One on the west side of Las Vegas Blvd. just south of downtown. (It's a very unassuming cinderblock building.) The other, Kung Fu, is downtown on Third St. across the street from Sam Boyd's Fremont Hotel. -- Chan

Seafood is very fresh. have followed these guys for years and the quality remains consistent. Book early and expect to wait for your table when you arrive. After that you should expect a great culinary experience.

Over the past 10 years I have been forced to make an annual trip there for a business convention. That said, the only two restaurants I've found that I would return to are the Peppermill for breakfast and Fat Burger for lunch and dinner. Other than that, it's been my experience that the restaurants along the strip are either mediocre, pretentions or both. Article 3090 of alt.vacation.las-vegas:
