We ate, drank, and found the best food deals in Las Vegas. No press releases. No AI. Just the City Cast team munching and slurping our way through the valley, trying to save a few bucks.
🧑🍳 Anima By EDO
Let’s go on the record: Anima By EDO has the best lunch deal in Vegas right now. The $25 two-course power lunch includes an appetizer (I went with the “green tartare” of veggies drenched in a pistachio vinaigrette) and a main entree like steak and fries, saffron risotto, or rigatoni with pork belly. I chose a perfectly pan-seared salmon with potatoes and a spicy aioli that proved the quality at lunch is just as strong as the dinner menu. The deal is available Monday-Friday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

☘️ Nine Fine Irishmen
Nine Fine Irishmen just renovated its outdoor terrace and patio on the Strip at New York-New York. Enjoy the seasonal fresh air with $7 bites, including deviled eggs, sausage rolls, beer 'n’ cheese dip with country bread, fish 'n’ chips, pastrami sliders, and a mini shepherd’s pie — plus Guinness pints, Jameson shots, and other $5 drink specials. The deals were just extended through the end of the year.
🍽️ Bites of Europe
Located in the near Lone Mountain, Bites of Europe already has reasonably priced items on the regular menu, but the family-owned restaurant also has unadvertised four-course tasting menus for $49.99 a person that touch on all corners of the continent. The deal requires the whole table to participate, featuring options like Siberian-style beef and pork dumplings, Georgian cheese bread, and French beef bourguignon with potatoes.
🍔 Summer House
The bar at Summer House gets busy between 3 and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday for a little thing the restaurant calls Martini Hour. The deals help make up for the Sundry’s sorely missed happy hour across the street (R.I.P. 🪦), including $5 cheeseburgers, which I’d describe as “bigger than a slider,” and $10 bottomless truffle fries. The wines aren’t bad for five bucks and the $12 thin-crust pizzas are sliced into squares, Chicago-style, for easy sharing. My favorite deal is the “Triple B” — the aforementioned burger, plus a decadently rich house-baked brownie and a beer (in one recent case, the Silver State blonde ale by CraftHaus Brewery) for 12 bucks.
- Summer House is at Durango, which carries Stations Casinos’ $1.99 frozen margaritas and has another strong happy hour at Mijo — both of which were discussed on a recent podcast episode. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
🐮 William B’s Steakhouse
The Suncoast casino, a favorite for Summerlin-area locals, is enjoying a new wave of renovations. (Hello bingo room 👋) Opened less than two years ago, William B’s Steakhouse is one of the best bang-for-your-buck steak joints in Vegas. See for yourself with the $40 pan-roasted seafood tower during the twice-daily Tower Hour (4-6 p.m., and 8 to close) and on Wagyu Wednesdays when couples can share a 20 oz. Texas-bred domestic Wagyu ribeye, plus two starters, two sides, and two desserts for $145.
- We also know the best $1.50 meal deal in Las Vegas too 😀 [Hey Las Vegas ✍️]
