Affordable Las Vegas! - Baidu Chinese Bistro


7625 S Rainbow Blvd, Suite 100
Las Vegas, NV 89139
702-382-6688

Baidu is a new restaurant that opened January 2007. 

The interior is clean and spacious.  I feel they really were able to meld Chinese and Bistro in their decor.

Their food presentation is one of the best I have seen in this price range.  Your appetizers come out with all the appropriate dipping sauces served in elegant yet modern dishes.  Your entrees come plated ...

Affordable Las Vegas! - Archi's Thai Kitchen


6360 W Flamingo, Suite A
Las Vegas, NV 89103
702-880-5550

This restaurant has a fun twist.  They have a drive thru!  You don't see many Asian restaurants with a drive thru (I do not count Panda Express!)  All their food is cooked to order, so don't get to excited.  Their drive thru is more in line with Olive Garden, BW3 and other restaurants where you order in advance and when you get there ...

Affordable Las Vegas! - Famous Uncle Al's Hot Dogs and Grille


7385 S Rainbow Blvd
Las Vegas, NV 89139
702-385-3647

These aren't your street corner vendor hot dogs.  They don't taste like that and they aren't priced like that.

 What these are, are some amazing hot dogs that were made famous in Virginia Beach.  (Go, Virginia!!) 

Uncle Al's offers 12 different hot dogs, including Chicago, New York, and the Virginia Beach Chili Cheese Dog.  You can choose from the distinctive Uncle Al's dogs that have a ...

Affordable Las Vegas - Golden Dragon


The Golden Dragon
6120 W Tropicana, Suite A-1
Las Vegas, NV 89103
702-253-5148

Golden Dragon is your typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant.  Nothing to write home about but good enough that you'll go back.  I wouldn't recommend bringing friends or a date here but if you are in the neighborhood and want some inexpensive Chinese food, drop in. 

The menu reads like any menu in any low end Chinese restaurant that caters to American tastes.  You'll ...

Affordable Las Vegas - Himalayan Cuisine


Himalayan Cuisine
730 East Flamingo Road
Las Vegas, NV 89119
702-894-9334

This restaurant is at the top end of affordable.  In fact I'm not really sure if I should include it here or under a different heading. 

 Himalayan Cuisine is a small, clean, and nicely decorated restaurant in a strip mall on Flamingo Road.  One word of warning, you can only access this strip from westbound Flamingo or south bound Swenson.  I'm convinced that this ...

Affordable Las Vegas! - Lao-Thai Kitchen


Lao-Thai Kitchen

1000 N Nellis Blvd, Suite I
Las Vegas, NV 89110 

702-453-9188 

Okay, I have to admit that on entering this restaurant I almost left.  In fact I almost drove by it...  The place is small and dingy in a small and dingy strip mall near Nellis Air force base.

But the enticement of a new restaurant and a lunch buffet to try it at made me look for my courage and give it ...

Affordable Las Vegas! - Thai Style Noodle House


Thai Style Noodle House  

3516 Wynn Road(at Spring Mountain)
Las Vegas, NV 89103
702-873-8943 

Thai Style Noodle House is an affordable Thai restaurant that doesn't make you feel like you are in a cheap restaurant.  Those who like a bargain know what I mean. 

First, the decor is clean, new, and modern.  

Second, the staff is clean, attentive and can clearly explain each dish and make recommendations. 

Third, the portions are large, the prices are very reasonable ...

Affordable Las Vegas! - Angkor Wat


Angkor Wat

5693 South Jones Blvd, Suite 105-106
Las Vegas, NV 89118

702-257-1163

This restaurant bills itself as a Cambodian, Vietnamese, Thai restaurant.  Whatever it is, it is  great!

The decor is minimal, you can tell this is a family run place.  The TV in the middle of the room is constantly playing, though thankfully it isn't always Asian martial arts films. 

The food is the reason to come here.  (The service is good too!) 

Lunch specials ...

Affordable Las Vegas! - Lotus of Siam


Lotus of Siam 

953 E Sahara Ave #A-5
Las Vegas, NV 89104

702-735-3033

This wonderful Thai restaurant is just a few blocks of the north end of the strip.  It is in a rather depressing strip mall, and area of town.  But once you get past that and into this delightful little restaurant you will be pleasantly surprised.

At lunch time with the buffet table in the middle of the room Lotus of Siam only ...
