Located on the Strip, just North of the Wynn, Tacos El Gordo offers small but tasty tacos for about $2 each. This place can get busy with long lines and different stations serve different foods, so if you are picky about what you want make sure to get in the right line.

Silver Sevens (Formerly Terribles) – $2.99 Deuces Wild Breakfast.
The 99 cent breakfast special was a tradition among Vegas tourist throughout the 70’s and 80’s. Silver Sevens almost keeps this tradition alive with a $2.99 breakfast special.

El Cortez – $5 Burger and Beer.
The El Cortez is one of the oldest hotels in Las Vegas and even though it was renovated a few years ago there is nothing fancy at El Cortez. This beer and burger special is no different. A Pabst Blue Ribbon or Budweiser will cost $3 at the cafe so you’re essentially getting the burger for $2. There is nothing gourmet about this meal but it’s a great deal and always available.

McCormick & Schmick’s – Happy Hour.
Happy hour is always a good way to enjoy bargain bites of high quality food. The happy hour at McCormick & Schmick’s (Mon-Fri only) is one of the more famous and features some great deals like the McCormick’s Cheese Burger for $3.99.

Golden Gate Casino – DuPar’s $2.99 Shrimp cocktail.
This shrimp cocktail is…wait for it…legen…dary! The shrimp cocktail at DuPar’s was just .99 cents until a few years ago but is now $2.99. This isn’t just a few little shrimp dropped on a plate with jarred cocktail sauce. These are meaty shrimp served with a handmade cocktail sauce. This is not an appetizer like many shrimp cocktail but enough to fill you as much as a full meal. If you’re allergic to seafood DuPar’s is a bakery and known for their pancakes.
