The MGM Mirage Las Vegas
The Carnegie Delicatessen at the MGM Mirage is perhaps one of the few restaurants that opens all day and night. There are times where I struggle to find a restaurant, that’s not fast food, after 11:00pm. Unfortunately the Mirage is quite far from the MGM Grand where I stayed, but it is nice to know what there are restaurants open all night. If you’re around the area and you’re done watching a late night show, definitely stop by at this restaurant for an inexpensive late night snack.
Carnegie Deli hails from New York City and it is amazing that I have yet visited there. Since I was in Vegas and brand name chain restaurants seems to be all within walking distance, Finechinaguy and I took the opportunity to stop by here after visiting the Siegfried and Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. Also, the Deli is famous for their roast beef, which I’m not particularly a fan of, but Finechinaguy is so all the more reason to stop by!

After walking though the entire Caesars Palace, Finechinaguy and I were famished! Do you know how big this Hotel/Casino is? Huge! They have this huge shopping center called “The Forum Shops” and there are just tons of stores that you can go shop. Anyways, I was craving for Japanese and decided to check out this restaurant before we went in. We looked at the menu which is conveniently located outside, see below, and saw how expensive a bowl of noodles are! Regardless, I was not in the mood to go anywhere else because I was so drained from all the walking so we settled down for this restaurant.

MGM Grand Hotel @ Las Vegas
Finechinaguy and I visited Las Vegas in November of 2007. After nearly two years of hiatus, I finally can write about this post! Of course there are just so many more posts to cover, but I will cover what time will allow! So please be patience and stay tune for more posts, and many of them are from Vegas!
Craftsteak Restaurant
When you come to Las Vegas, you have to at least try one of the “brand name” restaurants! Sure there are lots of affordable buffets, but let your tastebuds indulge in deliciously crafted gourmet food! Yes it can be expensive, but you pay for what you get.
MGM Grand was the hotel that we stayed at and fortunately for us Craftsteak was conveninetly located here! The only reason I know about Craftsteak is because of Top Chef. Tom Colicchio, who is a familiar face on that show, is the owner of this restaurant. After watching many episodes of Top Chef and having great respect for Chef Colicchio, I knew I had to try this restaurant. It’s funny how this restaurant is also located in New York City, but I never really bother to go because of time or because I never think it’s in my budget. But since I’m on vacation, I might as well splurge a little!

Executive Chef: Kai-Wa Yau
Hours of Operation:
Sunday – Thursday, 5:30pm – 10:00pm
Friday & Saturday, 5:30pm – 10:30pm
This restaurant located within the MGM Grand (inside where all restaurants are) is a Four Diamond Restaurant. Top notch in terms of decor, service, food as well as prices. We just had to try this Chinese restaurant to gauge whether it really is top notch or not. The cuisine is mainly Cantonese with an influence from Shanghai and a hint of Western flavor in certain dishes. Notice the hours of Operations. All the Four Diamond awarded restaurants are open for dinner only. Reservations are suggested but not necessary. When we went, it was not very packed.

Giant Burrito & Coaster Ride @ Nascar Cafe (Sahara Hotel Casino, Las Vegas)
A 2 feet 6 lb. Burrito nicknamed “The Bomb” (we all know why) has been created at the Nascar Cafe in the Sahara Hotel & Casino, Vegas. If you complete the challenge, you’ll win Free Unlimited Rides on the Sahara’s Speed Rollercoaster! (Be prepared for disasterous outcomes.) There is a downside to losing the challenge too, you’ll have to take with a tiny Pink Tshirt that says “Weenie”.
I love burrito’s and seeing this astounds me. If this was available when I went to Vegas, I would have been all over it but results of eating this monstrosity probably would not be pretty. I would love to see this burrito in person. Read more here.
