Shouldn't every hotel casino go out of their way or at least TRY to have a great restaurant? It would seem if they did, that it would keep people on the property longer and they'd bet more after their meal.
Had to be 20 years ago I had the greatest burger of my life at the Mirage, and big enough for 3 people. Terrible luck in the casino but didn't care because the food was so incredible.

They always have. It's usually been a steak house, sometimes goomay, sometimes a combination of the two. The thing is, that alone didn't keep people on the property as much as a good buffet or a value-oriented coffee shop. Then, when the casinos decided they weren't going to cater to us peasants any more, it was hard to find companies with enough capital to enter (or return to) the high-end casino goomay market. And when they did, the prices they charged were astronomical.
Another factor is that all the non-casino restaurants in Vegas have to be pretty damn good, quality and/or price-wise, just to survive, so they draw away the traffic that used to flock to the casinos for fancy meals.
