Is there anyplace on/close to the strip that's relatively nice where I can get out for $50-$75 per person? Most of them aren't big drinkers, so we're mostly talking just food and tip.
All suggestions appreciated, especially those that contain recent personal experience. Thanks!
There are many, many choices, so perhaps you could narrow it down a little in terms of what's most important to your group. Any specific cuisine? Do you place importance on ambiance/atmosphere/decor? Or is the quality of the food (at your given price point) paramount?
Do you want to be within walking distance? If so, it would be helpful to know where your group will be staying. If you're going to be scattered. one Uber/cab might be the best choice.
Keep in mind that $50 might not get you a drink and an appetizer at many of the swankier Strip joints and the food isn't any better there than other places that cost a third as much. So I'm going to steer you gently over to the Gold Coast, which is easily accessible in a numer of ways:
Cornerstone Steak House: solid steak joint, really good prices and quality. Check out early bird specials.
Ping Pang Pong: Go-to place with a huge menu. Surprisingly authentic. $50 will definitely get you in and out of there with room to spare.
There are some fantastic Thai restaurants near the Strip, as well.
