DH and I are going on our first child-free vacation to Vegas in a couple of weeks. I've never been before, so would love some food suggestions! We already have dinner reservations both nights, but I'd love some recs for breakfast and lunch.
Also, is it really lame if we take a gondola ride at the Venetian? Anyone done this? Is it worth it? DH thinks it's so lame and touristy but I really want to!

My favourite brunch spot is Bouchon: http://bouchonbistro.com/lasvegas I love the beignets and their quiche.
For lunch I like Olives: http://www.bellagio.com/restaurants/olives.aspx

I love everything at the Wynn. But that place might be old hat now!

@Mrs. Sketchbook: Haha! We're having dinner at SW Steakhouse at the Wynn one night! I think it's still "in"

Fun!! I was going to suggest brunch at Bouchon too. The most popular Vegas buffet right now is Bacchanal! But Wicked Spoon is good too.
For cheap, yummy, all night eats... go to Secret Pizza at the Cosmo, and Earl of Sandwich! Grand Lux is great too.
If you want reallllly good, phenomenal Thai food, Lotus of Siam is one of the best you'll find anywhere in the U.S.!
People seem to love Mon Ami Gabi - but we thought it was overrated. There's also Burger Bar, and for a fancier restaurant we really liked Mesa Grill (Bobby Flay's restaurant). I've always wanted to try Picasso though because it's overlooking the Bellagio watershow!

For a buffet brunch try the one at the Cosmo, it is fantastic.
The neon musuem was a really cool way to spend an hour.

@Mrs. High Heels: These all sound so good. I am going to gain 10 lbs in 3 days 
We're staying at the Bellagio Picasso looks awesome!
@Oliviapope: @youboots: Thanks! Will look into these

@lawbee11: Nice!! Best hotel in Vegas! You should totally do Picasso then - it's like getting dinner and a show. It supposedly has a very romantic ambiance too. We're going to Vegas soon too - in November for our 5th anniversary...!
Are you going to watch any shows? Cirque du Soleil? I don't know if Celine is still performing but she's amazing.

@Mrs. High Heels: Oh fun! Yes, we're seeing Penn & Teller. This was not my first choice, but DH really wants to see them. Hopefully it's good!

i second the bouchon for brunch! the brioche french toast & chicken & waffles (chicken/waffles wknds only) are amazzzzing.
also second julian serrano's picasso!
for a quick bite i love going to jean phillipe - for some reason i am forever obsessed with their smoked salmon sandwich... they also ofcourse have amazing pastries/desserts! (in bellagio & aria, the one in aria has a seating area).
for cirque du soleil - we saw zarkana and it was SO beautiful - the costumes were beautiful/so vibrant! if you are staying at bellagio you can get a really good deal on tickets through the concierge since zarkana is at aria and they are all part of mlife and they usually have some extra discount codes they can apply for you. our tickets were much cheaper than getting them through TKTS!

For breakfast (or brunch) you have to go to Bouchon in the Venentian. It's amazing!! Seriously the best breakfast (and breakfast service) I have ever had.

Brunch at the Cafe Bellagio is AH- MAZing! It was one of our favorite meals, and even quite affordable. They have amazing decor when you are about to go into the restaurant, it overlooks the conservatory. The crab cake Benedict was sooo good.

We go to Vegas a lot, (or used to pre-pregnancy), and my must do every time is brunch at Veranda at the Four Seasons. It's amazing!! They have a la carte and "buffet." Everything in the buffet is miniature portion size and gourmet so you can try everything you want. They make donuts to order, as well as different nut butters to order. The setting is lovely and the service unmatched.

I love Hash House A Go-Go for breakfast. They have one at the Rio and one at The Quad (used to be Imperial Palace). The one at the Rio is much nicer, but it's kind of far off from where you're staying. BUT the sage fried chicken Benedict dish is worth it!
If you're driving in from California, stop at the M Resort just before you get to Vegas. For lunch, they have amazing burgers at a place called Anthony's. My husband demands that we stop every time!
