MGM Mirage resorts restaurants question

Going to Vegas in September. Have a $200 food voucher for any MGM Mirage property restaurant. Any suggestions on where to use it? Gonna be 2 guys. Want a casual but good restaurant. Preferrably seafood or steak. Was hoping to spread the $200 out over lunch and dinner so I really am looking for 2 places. Thanks in advance for all your help.
The list of is very good choices is quite long.
If you want Steak or Seafood:
Micheal Mina-Bellagio
Crafsteak--MGM
Sage-Aria
NobHill--MGM
Prime--Bellagio

More Seafood:
American Fish--Aria
SeaBlue--MGM

For lunch--Witchcraft at MGM has some incredible sandwhiches
These are some of my favorites.I'm sure others will have some ideas too.


Check the small print. Can you use it at more than one place? If just a piece of paper, how do they know how much you have spent?

Are drinks, tax, tip included or extra?

With that said, there are a ton of places to eat. Some are very pricey. Most can be viewed on their website with a copy of the menu. Some of the ones mentioned above will eat up the $200 in a second.
Let's say you're staying at Aria, can you eat at any MGM property and charge it to your room?

A few of these places, $200 will be good for only one meal if you include drinks, for 2.

I'm a fan of wolfgang pucks place in MGM, moderately priced, oh and also the sushi place!

Sure, you can do that.

Now, getting it to apply to whatever this coupon is, or getting it comped off is another story. And, it could be along story.
I got an email offer. $300 freeplay and a $200 food credit and 3 free nights. Ive done these before. I just charge the food to my room then they comp $200 off the bill. I can go to any MGM property restaurant.

Thanks for the info, that's what I was questioning. I think I have a $150 food credit at Aria for my next trip.
The offers we're familiar with are property specific. So, your Aria offer would only include the restaurants within Aria.

Although unusual, our Excal offer included food in Luxor (not surprising....sister properties....share the same President) and MB (very surprising....many good restaurant choices). Once again, this is not the norm.

Your play may dictate a host opting to pick up off property charges but don't expect them to be automatically covered as part of your offer. A recent change is that on your folio when you sign in you may find small print that tells you which restaurants are covered or not. Also, confirm if it's a fixed amount per visit or per day.

We've experienced the full gamut of options and it's important that you ask the pointed questions when you check in to avoid surprises when you check out.

As for the OP, I guess my suggestion would be based on how much alcohol ate into this amount. If I were there on a Friday or Saturday, I would opt for lunch on the patio at Olives. The fountain show starts at noon on these days and it's a great viewing spot.

On Sunday, I would opt for the Jasmine brunch. Not cheap at $58 pp plus if you include Champagne. This would be my only meal of the day.

You recevied many other good suggestions but some of these would gobble up the whole $200 at dinner. Recommnedations include Shibuya (sushi/tepanyaki), Nob Hill, and Craftsteak at MGM. There are prix fixe menus for $50 pp at many of the Mirage restaurants and I'd recommend Onda, Stack, kokomos, and Japonais.

The bottom line is that you'll run out of food credit before you run out of choices. Enjoy!
