To go up to the observation deck at the Stratosphere is $16 each so we decided to go up and have lunch instead. My husband had the salmon caeser salad and a bowl of lobster bisque and I had the 3 course lunch tasting and our bill came in $50-ish. Seeing as we would have spent $32 just for the view I felt this was a good value and we spent over an hour there. We were wearing jeans and I didn't feel under dressed for lunch there at all.
The food was great and the restaurant was not too busy at all so we had a great time. If you are a fan of lobster bisque you HAVE to try their version of it--it's amazing! We all had it and loved it. It was the best thing I ate in Vegas period. I chose salmon as my entree and there was a trio of desserts. One of them was the banana bread pudding and I would say it also makes the list of one of the other best things I ate.
My mom did the $37 trio and had steak and lobster tail as her entree. It was a pretty small amount of lobster but it was lunch and she said the steak was really good. She also ordered a sangria and I had a sip it was pretty tasty but not worth $13 in my opinion.
Bottom line: go for a nice lunch and you won't be sorry!
