Gotta try the beignets at Grand Lux. Available only on the Palazzo’s side at their Grand Lux. When we arrive in Las Vegas, it’s the first thing I have to have with my coffee lol. They serve them with vanilla, chocolate and a raspberry sauce and are freshly made to order. To die for!
First time on your channel, love the format and variety of your dining choices. Thanks for the tips and sharing the good times. Happy belated to Heather
Thanks for watching our videos. More to come just got back from Vegas. Need to find time to edit and post before going back December 18th. Thanks for the comment.
Great review, many thanks, planning to travel later this year to Vegas and this has really helped as this is my choice of hotel and food choices sound amazing, Thanks!!
Hello Don & Heather. My wife and I just came across your Vegas vlogs this week and we are both really enjoying them. Great restaurant tour of the Venetian, so much so that we have penciled in the Grand lux cafe and Lavo for our upcoming Vegas trip tomorrow. We couldn't have come across your vlogs at a better time. Subscribed 👍.
That is awesome. The Grand Lux breakfast buffet might be the best value in Vegas. Lavo meatball is delicious. Enjoy your trip. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
@@MakeItHappenWithDon I'm definitely getting the meatball in Lavo and I'm looking forward to the buffet breakfast. Fill your boots for $25 ain't bad. We are regular visitors to Vegas but last year we went for our 10th wedding anniversary and we vlogged our trip for the first time and loved it so we are doing it again. We renewed our vows at the Graceland wedding chapel, what a day we had. We are in the airport now waiting to depart for a 2 week stay as we are from Northern Ireland. Looking forward to watching the rest of your vlogs when we get home to help with the Vegas blues. Have a good day.
@@MakeItHappenWithDon we have the ceremony on our vlog so check it out, we would thoroughly recommend doing it. Just got into planet Hollywood. We need alcohol 😜
Watching this food tour has me convinced that The Venetian is a foodie paradise in Las Vegas! The variety of restaurants and cuisines is impressive. If you could only dine at one place in The Venetian for the rest of your life, which would it be?
Wow. That's crazy to think of. 🤔 Mott 32? Maybe. But then, I would never get Italian again. MATTEOS? Maybe, but then I would never get steak again. CUT, or Smith & Wolensky perhaps. The are so many places to eat here. We only tried a small fraction of them.
I get this question alot. I personally would choose S & W for a couple reasons. First, it is way more casual. I do not feel as comfortable at fancy upscale restaurants. Second, is about the side dishes. I get annoyed paying $18 for broccoli or a baked potatoe. At S W, they allow you to order half orders on side dishes. The half order is still big enough to share and you can try a couple things for $15. Finally, my steak at S & W was huge and tasted as good as Delmonicos steak. And the chocolate cake was amazing. I have a video on both restaurants if you want to check them out.
You just missed bouchon bistro, it's a top restaurant in the Venetian, one of the best restaurants. Lavo is better than canaletos. Yardbird is a gem, the skillet cornbread is a must try. Black tap has a truffle burger that's really good too.
Thanks Ethan. We have never eaten at Bouchon but it is on our list. I enjoyed all of the other places except Canoletos. Wasn't impressed with it. Loved Lavo and Yardbird and had a great burger at Blacktap. Thanks for the comment.
I had the truffle burger last night and it was tasteless but maybe cause I got the hamburger well done instead of medium well. The fries were limp and really bad. And the shake was nothing special. Maybe cause it’s 107 here but anyway I was still shocked cause everyone was bragging about this place.
Both great. S & W is more casual and much less expensive. Demonico is much fancier. I personally like S & W much better. They let you get half portions sides so you can get a couple of them and share. If you like more upscale, you might want Delmonico. If you like it casual, S&W all day. And don't even get me started on the Chocolate cake at S&W.
Catching up on your videos. Enjoying the content. You mentioned Canaletto wasn’t the best Italian food. In your opinion, what’s the best Italian restaurant in Vegas (any hotel)?
I can not say we have a favorite. Matteos in Venetian was probably the best food. Scarpetta in Cosmopolitan was outstanding. Giada in The Cromell has tasty pasta dishes, but it's way overpriced. In a few weeks, we are going to Carbone in Aria. I have high expectations, and I have a feeling it is going to be the best. We have videos on the 3 I mentioned if you wanna check them out.
Not sure. Never had them there. We usually get the buffet. It's not a huge buffet, but your drinks (non alcoholic) are included. If you got coffee, and a small orange juice, it would probably cost $12.00 alone. For $25, it's all you can eat and quench that desert thist with as many beverages you can handle. The Henry in Cosmo has an amazing short rib eggs Benedict. Also, although pricey, Buchon has great breakfast in Vebetian only on weekends. Hope this helps. Happy to answer any questions you might have.
The Grand Lux Cafe off the Palazzo casino floor is open for breakfast from 6am till 11am. They still have the buffet. It's listed at the top of the breakfast menu but it's kind of confusing because the description is under Florentine Omelet. Grand Lux Express Breakfast. Hope you get to enjoy it Lillian. 😊
@@MakeItHappenWithDon Thank you so much for replying. I am beyond excited to be hopefully going for one week in late November. (cheapest time from Toronto, Ontario). This is a big splurge for us! :) Just trying to decide if the Prestige Lounge upgrade is worth it. We aren't huge eaters but like nice, small portions. Same with drinks, just a nice cocktail. If we don't do Prestige a fairly priced buffet would be perfect. Your video was a great help!
I see the Italians charged you for bread . In Italy, we were charged for bread and separately for butter. Often the bread was tasteless. I started to call it farmers' bread. The Venentian looks good for those who do not want to hike through massive casinos?
The Venetian is awesome. Along with The Palazzo, you get 2 resorts in 1. And endless restaurants. Only thing worse than paying for bread, is paying for Coke refills. Matteos in The Venetian is a great Italian restaurant. I wouldn't go back to Canoletto. Thanks for watching.
Of course we did. That's the whole point of the video. To show how deliscious or not deliscious the food is. Help you decide if you care to spend your hard earned money on a particular restaurant. Personally, I think steak houses are over rated. I can make a better steak at home for a fraction of the price. But, people like steakhouse reviews so I have to suffer through the meal for them. 😀
GREAT VID BUT I GO OFF TH STRIP TO EAT ALL THE FOOD DELICIOUS AT 1/2 THE PRICE UP TROPICANA OR FLAMINGO OR SPRING MOUNTAIN MANNNNN YOU GOTTA GO SURFING, GET OFF THAT STRIP FOR A WHILE!!!!!! AND THE BEST TATING SUSHI IS AT SUSHI NEKO GUARANTEED.................
Thomas Keller's Bouchon in the Venetian is amazing. Great breakfast/brunch and fantastic dinners.
Agreed. We eat there when we are in Vegas on a weekend.
Gotta try the beignets at Grand Lux. Available only on the Palazzo’s side at their Grand Lux. When we arrive in Las Vegas, it’s the first thing I have to have with my coffee lol. They serve them with vanilla, chocolate and a raspberry sauce and are freshly made to order. To die for!
Yum. We have had the fresh made to order cookies but will have to try the beignets.
Great video. I learned a lot from this review! Thank you!
That presentation was awesome! And, very much good information. You-all look like happy campers.
Good to know about the half-portion options at Smith & Wollensky!
Half portions are plenty for 2.
Thank you for this. Will be visiting these spots in March.
Very nice. We will be there on March as well. Good luck.
@HappenWithDon Hilarious I just found this video and about to dive in, we will be there in March as well.
Well, I'm there on March 13 and 14th. I'll look for you. 😆
We will be the March 3 thru 7th. Will you be there then?
Thanks a million..... great reviews and will help me on my visit!!!!! Loved your enthusiasm and honesty about each restaurant.
Thanks Lee. Hope you have a great visit. 👍

Great video and breakdown
Appreciate it!
Going to the Venetian soon, can't wait.
We will be there in 10 days. Very exciting. Here's to winning a jackpot. Have a great trip.

Hey John. You made an excellent decision. The venetian is one of our favorite places. Soooo nice, and the food is endless. Enjoy your trip.

Wow! That is so kind. You made my day with your comment. We are grateful for everyone who watches our videos.
Can't wait to be there...
Enjoy your trip and thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.
Smith and Wollensky. Agree 100%
Call me crazy, but it was the best steakhouse experience I had in Vegas so far. Thanks for the comment.
Awesome!
Thank you. Merry Christmas

If you paid $35 for spaghetti and balls, it better be the best you ever had. LOL 🤣😂🤑
Thanks for watching.
Awesome walk-through! If you had to choose best steakhouse at Venetian: Delmonico or Smith and Wollensky?
I get this question alot. I personally would choose S & W for a couple reasons. First, it is way more casual. I do not feel as comfortable at fancy upscale restaurants. Second, is about the side dishes. I get annoyed paying $18 for broccoli or a baked potatoe. At S W, they allow you to order half orders on side dishes.

I have a video on both restaurants if you want to check them out.
A ONE POUND MEATBALL?! That’s the most insanely American thing I’ve ever heard 🤣
Lol. Well, I don't think it is intended for 1 person.
@@MakeItHappenWithDon Are you sure? 😂
You just missed bouchon bistro, it's a top restaurant in the Venetian, one of the best restaurants. Lavo is better than canaletos. Yardbird is a gem, the skillet cornbread is a must try. Black tap has a truffle burger that's really good too.

Thanks for the comment. And thanks for watching.
Great video. Smith & Wollensky > Delmonico? Will be in LV in July for Anniversary.

Also, Maggianos in the Fashion Show Mall is really good and very reasonably priced.
Sounds good! Thanks for sharing.
Which property out of the Bellagio and the Venetian/Palazzo has the most reasonable dinning options? In your opinion.
Not an opinion but a fact. Venetian by far has more food options. From far food to find dining. Endless options at Venetian.
Has anyone had the best eggs Benedict at Grand lux?
Not sure. Never had them there. We usually get the buffet. It's not a huge buffet, but your drinks (non alcoholic) are included. If you got coffee, and a small orange juice, it would probably cost $12.00 alone. For $25, it's all you can eat and quench that desert thist with as many beverages you can handle.

Happy to answer any questions you might have.
I couldn't find the breakfast buffet listed on their menu on their website, do you know if it has been discontinued? Do you remember the hours?
The Grand Lux Cafe off the Palazzo casino floor is open for breakfast from 6am till 11am. They still have the buffet. It's listed at the top of the breakfast menu but it's kind of confusing because the description is under Florentine Omelet. Grand Lux Express Breakfast. Hope you get to enjoy it Lillian. 😊

I guess, l wiil be going to McDonalds or the soup kitchen
Not sure what that means, but if you like McDonalds and soup, go for it.
Y’all didn’t have to cut that steak & eat it in our faces like that. 😢

I'm sure there are plenty of of strip places. I'll have to try them soon.
Your video made me so dizzy and nauseous I couldn't even imagine eating
Hmmm. You should have turned it off immediately if you were dizzy. Sorry to make you 🤮
Over cooked steak .
🙄
You SHOULD'T eat dead animals
