Lazy Joe's Fish & Chips - 7834 Rainbow Blvd. - Family owned and operated since they opened. Obviously they serve seafood.

Maggiano's Little Italy - Located in the Fashion Show Mall on the Strip, this is another chain restaurant but one of a different ilk. Their decor is dark and upscale, and they have an extensive menu and wine list.

Market Grill Cafe' - 7920 W. Tropical Parkway - Serving Mediterranean food in the freshest way possible. They are located in the Centennial Shopping Center (next to Wal Mart, I believe).

Mimi's Cafe' - With several locations all over the Vegas area, this is another chain restaurant serving American food. That being said, they have a great selection of items, and they serve breakfast all day. A good, casual restaurant with a nice atmosphere. They are great at arranging for large groups, too.

Mix Zone Cafe' - 2202 W. Charleston Ave. (at the corner of Rancho Dr.). Thai food. They tend to close for holidays, so check before you go.

Outback Steakhouse - Found upstairs in the Casino Royale Hotel and Casino, it's yet another chain restaurant you're probably very familiar with. This one just happens to be conveniently located center-Strip and gets a lot of business. Reservations are recommended because of the location and popularity.

Pei Wei Asian Diner - Yes, it's another chain. This one is found at 10830 W. Charleston Blvd, Suite 110 in Las Vegas. The Pei Wei restaurants are owned by PF Chang's, and their just a little less expensive. The food is very good for the price.
