The complete steak dinner at Ellis Island served 24/7 for $6.95 is currently the best Las Vegas meal value that I know of. In a city full of good meal deals, the 10 ounce filet cut sirloin with salad, garlic green beans, choice of potato and a micro-brewed beer can’t be beat.

Another great Las Vegas meal deal is the $12.95 Prime Rib dinner at the coffee shop at South Point. This meal deal which includes a big slab of quality prime rib and a choice of soup or salad plus potato and rolls (if you ask) is served 24/7.

Use “Google”, “Bing” or other search engine to get more information about these deals and more.
