We recently went to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino for the secret menu item $7.77 Steak & Shrimp at Mr. Lucky’s 24-7.   This deal is not listed on the menu, you need to ask for it.  It is available 24 hours a day.

It comes with a side salad, 8 ounce flat iron steak, 3 grilled jumbo shrimp and garlic mashed potatoes.

The side salad was very fresh, came in a chilled salad plate and had an array of mixed veggies.   I had it with ranch dressing on the side.

I ordered the steak medium rare and it was cooked perfectly.  Good flavor and the right amount of salt.

The grilled shrimp were very good.  I could tell that they were fresh and it really enhanced my overall satisfaction of the meal.

The garlic mashed potatoes were great.  Not too overpowering and a nice starch to accompany this protein feast.

My server was Paige.  She was very pleasant, kept my diet coke filled and did not bother me more than she needed too.  The manager also stopped by to ask how everything was.

If you are looking for a good steak meal for less than 10 bucks, this is by far the best deal for a cheap steak dinner in Las Vegas.

We came across this photo that has been circulating around the net of a massive hit at Wynn.  The game is Triple Double Bonus Video Poker and the jackpot is for $400,000.  Not a bad hit!

This machine was a $100 machine that takes 5 credits to optimize the pay schedule, therefore the player was betting $500/hand.

What is also interesting about this hit was that it was a total redraw.  No cards were held on the original deal.

If you have a photo of a nice casino win, email us at tips@vegasbuzz.com with the pic and a brief story and we will post it!  The amount of the win is not important, we just want exciting stories.

A great insider tip for Las Vegas show tickets is to purchase them on the day of the show to save money. People can save from 30 to 50% off of the original ticket value on most Las Vegas shows. This will only work if people have an open mind on catching a variety of shows, so it’s best to have at least two in mind in case one show is not available. Although there are many shows to see in Las Vegas, there is no guarantee that there are tickets available for each particular show on certain nights.

Discounted Las Vegas show tickets become available for sale a few hours before the show. However, sometimes these discounted tickets are released during the morning of the show. These show tickets are released to the ticket sellers at different venues at various times as per the convenience of venue owners, which means there is a gamble when trying to get tickets to particular shows. Discounted show tickets are on availability only and are not guaranteed every night.

People can get a day of discount on Las Vegas shows at one of the eight Tix 4 Tonight booths. There is a booth in Showcase Mall at the giant Coke bottle across from New York New York. Another at Bill’s gambling hall between Flamingo and Bally’s. One just South of the Riviera, outside the Fashion Show Mall across from the Wynn. Another booth is in the Hawaiian Marketplace across from the Monte Carlo on the Strip. Also, north on the Strip there’s a booth between the Riviera and Denny’s. Off the Strip there is booth in Town Square Shopping Center, a mile south of Mandalay Bay. For those who are staying downtown a booth is set up outside the Four Queens on Fremont Street Experience.
