Las Vegas Casual Dining Thread
We have the fine dining thread, but everyone needs some good casual places to eat, either on the strip or local. I'm finding that my list of go-to casual places is lacking.

Hachi delivered straight to your door is always a good choice.
yup, that looks pretty solid
Dojo Sushi, just a couple California rolls but very good quality, will need to go back and get some of their other rolls. $10 for 2 rolls is pretty cheap.
That's less expensive than grocery store sushi 😉
Need to see filling to judge, but that's almost too cheap
Finally tried Lou’s Diner.
I got Curtis’s Haystack w a side of sausage patties, was pretty good. Not great. Lady got Huevos Rancheros which was definitely better but not a favorite breakfast dish of mine. Looked like a huge line outside, but maybe waited 5 minutes for a table. Would go back and get something different, but would rather hit Omelet House instead.
Interesting I wanted to like Omelet House but I vastly prefer Lou’s. Also Curtis’s Haystack looks solid.
Another perfect steak at Toca:
I love all those pics wj94 nice
Looks awesome WJ!
Can’t wait for some nit to come in and argue with the word ‘perfect’
French onion soup burger at Yukon Pizza 10/10 incredible. $19 for a double, well worth it. Will only be around for a few weeks so you best get your ass to Yukon ASAP.
Wow that burger looks good.
So do the calamari and steak at Toca!
Yukon is so good
Wolfgang Puck restaurant on the Strip closed by health department
Looks awesome/ isn't New York strip $72? Just not my idea of casual dining...(even for Vegas)
$79 now. InKind app promo $50 off 150 plus discounted InKind gift cards from Costco ($60 per 100) = half price Toca. The gift that keeps on giving.
Toca atmosphere is not fine dining in the least. It’s loud; has a club vibe, and you can also go there and eat $20 tacos too if you want cheap (relatively speaking, and yes the steak tacos are absolutely worth $20 for 2). Cut = fine dining. Toca = casual dining. Both have expensive steaks. That’s my take.
Mother Wolf consistently great
Focaccia - 10/10
Margherita pizza - 10/10
Sausage pizza - 9/10
Cocktails - 8.5/10
Cacio Pepe - 9.5/10
Rigatoni alla gricia - 10/10
Short rib rigatoni - 7/10
Steak tartare - 8/10
Pistachio gelato - 10/10
$420 for 4 plus tip not that includes 8 cocktails
Steak tartare.
One of my favorites, but hard to find where I live.
Mother Wolf should be considered Fine Dining.
at this point there doesn't seem to be a point of two separate threads

I don't personally consider pizza and pasta to be fine dining...you could easily go eat at Mother Wolf for $60 or less. I agree that having separate threads is kind of a waste, nobody seems to agree on where does the line of casual vs fine dining end anyway. Is it price? Ambiance? Type of food? I consider fine dining to be a chef's menu type place that's $150+ per person or a very high end steakhouse like Cut, whereas a steakhouse like Toca or STK is much more casual. A place that has a live DJ and girls eating fire probably is not fine dining.
NY strip. Toca is between Aria and the Crystals shops, right outside the check-in/concierge desk at Aria. In my opinion it's the best NY strip I've had in Vegas that wasn't a wagyu+ cut. Only one I'd say is on the same level from what I've had is SW's American wagyu one but that's also almost double the price. I haven't been to Peter Luger, Barry's, Golden Steer, Prime, or any of the other downtown casinos' steakhouses though.
