Neal -I always gain about 10 pounds after a trip to Las vegas and most of the time I never even eat lunch. While I can see your thinking on doing some gourmet dining in while in town, I think I can spend too much money on a meal in any city. Last time I was in town I thought about having a nice dinner at Paris. I think that the least expensive, ala Carte entre was about $29. While in Las Vegas we make a game out of getting the best food for the least money. Hard Rocks $5.99 (or whatever) steak dinner, the $9.99 steak and lobster at Stardust and one of the $9.99 Champagne Brunches on Saturaday morning are always on the list. Why eat a $.99 hot dog when you can have a good steak for just a little more?
