Steak ‘n Shake Deal at the Fremont

I know some of you are thinking, what’s the big deal about a fast-food meal in Las Vegas? That isn’t the reason you come to this town. But this one is significant for several reasons.

First of all, McDonald’s pulled out of the D and the Plaza over the summer.  There are no McDonald’s in the downtown area. Sometimes you just want a quick bite.

Secondly, Steak ‘n Shake is more short-order cooking than fast food. I’d rate it quite a bit better than the Burger King, McDonald’s, Checkers, etc. options.

Third, $5.99 barely gets you a cup of coffee in many places. So getting a full meal for $6 is quite a find.

Finally, the Fremont Food Hall is an attractive place to visit and eat, with other good choices for good quick meals.

As a bonus, if you’re downtown and don’t want to walk to the Downtown Grand via 3rd Street , you can cut through the Fremont casino, exit the north doors, and be very close to the Grand.

Las Vegas Savings Tips

There’s a new feature on the LVA website. I have created a table that shows some ways to save money on travel to Las Vegas and how to save a little when you are in Las Vegas. The page is called Las Vegas savings tips and you can access it here.

The idea is list some different money saving ideas and also to have you share your ideas for saving some cash. The LVA site already has a ton of good information (free things to do in Vegas, LV Happy Hours, etc) so I won’t be touching on those.

If you have ideas or suggestions, please email me at [email protected].
