Vegas Travel Notes Part 1: High-Value Restaurant Recommendations

Restaurants (All Hits): ✨ 🇰🇷 Korean – Moobongri Soondae $20–30 per person for a filling meal, very authentic flavors. We went twice and tried: beef bone noodle soup, spicy pork neck soup, blood sausage soup + steamed pork & lungs, and beef bulgogi. Generous meat portions, Korean staff, great service. ✨ 🍣🦞 Seafood + Sushi AYCE – Sushi & Asian Fusion Three tiers — top tier includes Cajun Seafood Boil for $46. Huge variety of sushi rolls and nigiri; even the basic tier offers oysters and desserts. $5 discount on Wednesdays. I went mainly for the seafood boil — ate three big plates; probably won’t crave seafood again for a year 😂 ✨ 🍖 Japanese BBQ – Shin Yakiniku $30 AYCE BBQ with open-flame grilling — each meat comes in three flavor options: garlic, spicy, or sweet soy. Went on Christmas Eve — not crowded, but everything tasted great. Sides include takoyaki, wings, tempura, and ramen. Snacks & Quick Bites: ✨ 🇲🇽 Mexican – Tacos el Gordo A Vegas classic at the south end of the Strip — easy parking. Must-try tacos: lengua (beef tongue), tripa (fried intestines), and adobada (spiced pork). Each taco has its own line — still packed at 9 PM. ~$4 per taco, small size — need 4–5 for a meal, ~$20 per person. ✨ 🇹🇷 Mediterranean – Istanbul Mediterranean Popular street food stall in the market near Paris Hotel. Waited an hour at 1 PM — got the beef + lamb shawarma wrap (~$15). Definitely tasted like real lamb (gamey note ✅). Two wrap options: pita (thick, small) or wrap (thin, large). Choose 2 sauces from: spicy, garlic, tahini, or Turkish (tomato-based). ✨ 🍦 Gelato – Bellagio Patisserie Hidden inside Bellagio Hotel — their gelato is rich and a bit sticky in texture. 3 scoops for $10, mix and match flavors freely. Didn’t try but famous spots: Wicked Spoon, Gordon Ramsay’s, Bacchanal Buffet — heard they’re overpriced. 888 Japanese BBQ — closed early during the holidays, so missed it. #VegasEats #FoodRecommendations #LasVegasFood #TravelEats #NoRegrets
