Growing up in California, I have been lucky enough to visit Las Vegas more times than I can count. When I was younger, I visited Vegas for the nightlife and gambling. Now that I am getting older, I realize there is a lot more to Vegas than meets the eye. While the city was built on gambling, today, Las Vegas is one of the best food cities in the world.
Las Vegas seems to have it all when it comes to food. Everything from buffets to Michelin star celebrity chef restaurants to hole-in-the-wall eateries only known by locals. This diversity is what keeps me coming back.
While Las Vegas can be expensive, there are still affordable places to eat on and near the Strip. These are 14 of my favorite cheap eats, including tacos, pizza, burgers, breakfast, and late-night food.
I personally visited every restaurant in this guide and paid for my own food. Prices are either what I paid during my visit or what I later verified from an official menu. Since Las Vegas prices change often, I include the month and year where available.
For this guide, I define a cheap eat as a meal or substantial item costing about $20 or less per person before tax and tip. A few higher-priced items are included because the portions are large enough to share.
Tacos El Gordo is my top overall pick. The rest of the list is numbered for easy navigation rather than ranked from best to worst.
1 – Tacos El Gordo
Tacos El Gordo is my top pick for cheap food on the Las Vegas Strip. The Strip location is across Las Vegas Boulevard from Resorts World and serves Tijuana-style tacos, mulas, sopes, tostadas, and more.
I have eaten here multiple times, and I usually order the Taco de Adobada. It comes with marinated pork, onions, cilantro, salsa, and a slice of pineapple on a handmade corn tortilla. I always enjoy my visits here, especially after a few drinks.
During my June 2026 visit, the Adobada Taco cost $4.12 before tax. Most tacos on the menu were $4.12, while Lengua and Sesos tacos were $4.44. Since tacos are sold individually, you can order one or a few depending on how hungry you are.
The ordering process can be chaotic if it is your first visit. Instead of waiting in one general line, you need to find the line for the meat you want. The carne asada, adobada, lengua, and other stations have separate lines. If you wait in the wrong one, you might have to get into another line to order a different type of taco.
Paying can also be confusing. You do not pay the cook who prepares your food. After receiving your plate, carry your tray over to the cashier and pay before finding a place to sit.
Insider Tip: The Strip location can get very busy during peak hours, especially late at night. For a shorter wait, try visiting around lunch or before the late-night crowds arrive.
What to order: Taco de Adobada or a Mula
Price during my visit: $4.12 for an Adobada Taco before tax in June 2026
Best for: Tijuana-style tacos and late-night food
Main drawback: Long lines during peak hours and separate ordering lines that can confuse first-time visitors
Tacos El Gordo
Address: 3041 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
Hours: Sunday-Thursday, 10:00 AM-2:00 AM; Friday-Saturday, 10:00 AM-4:00 AM
2 – Secret Pizza
If you are looking for a slice of New York-style pizza on the Las Vegas Strip, Secret Pizza is one of my favorite stops. It is located on Level 3 of the Cosmopolitan and is a great place for a quick slice before your night begins or after a night out.
It is not much of a secret these days, but it can still be easy to miss since there is no sign. Once you find the entrance, follow the record-lined hallway to the walk-up counter.
At the time of my visit, a cheese slice cost $8.00, a one-topping slice cost $9.00, and a two-topping slice cost $9.50. I know that is not exactly cheap for a slice of pizza, but cheap is relative at the Cosmopolitan. It is still one of the easier ways to grab a quick meal without paying sit-down restaurant prices.
The wait is pure luck of the draw. Sometimes you can walk right up to the counter, while other times the line stretches down the hallway.
Seating can also be difficult. There are stools along the counter, but there are not many of them and groups sometimes move them around. You might have to stand while you eat. You will also find glass shakers of chili flakes and Parmesan along the counter, so grab them when you see them.
Later at night, the counters can get messy faster than the busy staff can clean them. People sometimes leave behind plates, napkins, and other trash after they finish eating.
Insider Tip: If the counter is crowded or messy, order your slice to go. There are lounge seats just outside the hallway on Level 3. If those are full, head down one floor to the tables near Eggslut on Level 2.
What to order: White Pizza or a Pepperoni and Sausage Slice
Price during my visit: $8.00 for cheese, $9.00 for one topping, or $9.50 for two toppings in July 2025
Best for: A quick slice and late-night pizza
Main drawback: Expensive for a slice, with unpredictable lines and limited seating
Secret Pizza
Address: 3708 Las Vegas Blvd S, Level 3, The Boulevard Tower, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (located inside the Cosmopolitan)
Hours: Sunday-Thursday, 11:00 AM-2:00 AM; Friday-Saturday, 11:00 AM-4:00 AM
3 – Shake Shack
I know what you are thinking. Shake Shack is a massive global chain, so why is it on this list? For me, the answer is the location. This spot at New York-New York has an outdoor patio right along the Las Vegas Strip.
The outdoor patio is one of the best parts of this location. It sits right along the Las Vegas Strip and is a great place to people-watch with a burger and beer.
The classic ShackBurger is the safest choice. It comes with an Angus beef patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun. At the time I checked, a single ShackBurger cost $8.29, while the double cost $10.99.
Shake Shack also comes out with limited-time items throughout the year. On one of my visits, I tried the Korean-Style Fried Chick’n. It was a nice change from the usual burger, but since limited releases come and go, the ShackBurger is the more reliable pick.
This location is also close to T-Mobile Arena, making it an easy stop before a Golden Knights game or concert. The downside is that it can get packed before events.
Insider Tip: Use the Shake Shack app to order ahead and skip the ordering line. The app also offers occasional deals and coupons, so it is worth checking before you order.
You can read my full review of Shake Shack here.
What to order: Double ShackBurger and Cheese Fries
Price when checked: $8.29 for a single ShackBurger or $10.99 for a double in July 2026
Best for: Burgers, outdoor Strip seating, and a quick meal before an event
Main drawback: Can get crowded before Golden Knights games and concerts
Shake Shack
Address: 3790 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (located at New York-New York)
Hours: Open daily from 6:00 AM-3:45 AM
4 – Eggslut
If you are looking for breakfast on the Las Vegas Strip, Eggslut is one of my favorite stops. It is located on Level 2 of the Cosmopolitan and is especially popular in the morning.
I always go for the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich. It comes with applewood-smoked bacon, an over-medium egg, cheddar cheese, and chipotle ketchup on a warm brioche bun. It is messy, rich, and the perfect hangover food.
At the time of my visit, the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich cost $12.00. The Fairfax and Sausage, Egg and Cheese sandwiches were also $12.00.
The line is the biggest drawback. It usually moves faster than it looks, but during the morning rush, I have waited as long as 45 minutes.
Finding a seat can also be difficult. There are a few counter seats where you can watch the kitchen, but they are usually taken when it is busy. I normally grab my food and look for one of the open seating areas nearby on Level 2.
You can read my full review of Eggslut here.
Insider Tip: In my experience, the line is longest between 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM. For a shorter wait, try arriving before 8:00 AM or after 1:00 PM.
What to order: Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich
Price during my visit: $12.00 in January 2026
Best for: Breakfast sandwiches and hangover food
Main drawback: Long morning lines and limited seating
Eggslut
Address: 3708 Las Vegas Blvd S, Level 2, The Boulevard Tower, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (located inside the Cosmopolitan)
Hours: Monday-Thursday, 7:00 AM-2:00 PM; Friday-Sunday, 7:00 AM-3:00 PM
5 – Village Pub & Cafe
While it is not technically on the Las Vegas Strip, I couldn’t leave Village Pub & Cafe off this list. It is located inside Ellis Island, a small casino just east of the Strip behind Horseshoe and Paris.
Many visitors skip Ellis Island because they do not want to make the 15-minute walk from the Strip. However, the lower food and drink prices make the short detour worth it. During my June 2026 visit, parts of the property were under construction, although the work may be finished by the time you visit.
The best deal I found on my most recent visit was the $8.99 Graveyard Steak & Eggs Special. It included an 8-ounce broiled New York strip steak, two eggs any style, and toast. The special was available daily from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
You need a free Passport Players Club card to get the Graveyard Special. During my visit, I did not have to play a slot machine or print a separate coupon. I just used my players club card when ordering. Since casino promotions can change, it is still a good idea to ask your server before ordering.
Ellis Island also offers a separate $9.99 Filet-Cut Top Sirloin Steak Special, available 24 hours a day. This deal does not include eggs. To get it, you need a free Passport Players Club card, play $5, and print the “Play $5, Get $2” coupon from the kiosk. Then ask your server for the steak special. I believe this is the deal I ordered on an earlier visit.
Do not confuse either special with the regular Top Sirloin Steak & Eggs on the breakfast menu. That meal cost $22.99 during my last visit.
Insider Tip: Ellis Island brews its own beer. Since you are already saving money on the meal, order one of the house beers to go with your steak. They are usually much cheaper than beer at the large Strip resorts.
What to order: Graveyard Steak & Eggs or the Filet-Cut Top Sirloin Steak Special
Price during my visit: $8.99 for the Graveyard Steak & Eggs Special in June 2026 with a Passport Players Club card
Best for: Cheap steak and late-night breakfast near the Strip
Main drawback: The deals have different hours and requirements, which can be confusing
Village Pub & Cafe
Address: 4178 Koval Ln, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (located inside Ellis Island)
Hours: Open 24 hours daily
Graveyard Steak & Eggs hours: Daily from 11:00 PM-6:00 AM
$9.99 Filet-Cut Top Sirloin Steak Special: Available 24 hours daily with a qualifying Passport Players Club coupon
6 – Dirt Dog
If you have spent any time around Los Angeles late at night, you have probably seen bacon-wrapped hot dogs cooking on street carts. Dirt Dog takes that style of hot dog and turns it into an over-the-top meal with plenty of toppings.
You can find this location inside the Grand Bazaar Shops in front of Horseshoe. It is a good late-night option in this part of the Strip, especially if you want something other than pizza.
All of the hot dogs are made with all-beef franks, wrapped in bacon, and served on a toasted lobster roll-style bun. My go-to is the Elote Dog, topped with corn, lime mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro, and bacon bits.
At the time of my visit, the Elote Dog cost $12.45 before tax. If you want the cheapest option, the House Dog was $9.25. These are not $5 street-cart hot dogs, but they are large enough to work as a full meal.
Insider Tip: Dirt Dog also has an adjacent full-service bar in Suite 618. You can sit at the counter, order a beer or cocktail, and order your food from the bartender. Outside of the bar, seating is limited to tables scattered around the Grand Bazaar Shops.
What to order: Elote Dog or House Dog
Price during my visit: $12.45 for the Elote Dog or $9.25 for the House Dog in June 2026
Best for: Loaded bacon-wrapped hot dogs and late-night food
Main drawback: Prices climb quickly for the more heavily loaded dogs, and seating outside the bar is limited
Dirt Dog
Address: 3649 S Las Vegas Blvd, Suite 617, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (located at the Grand Bazaar Shops)
Hours: Monday-Thursday, 11:00 AM-12:00 AM; Friday-Sunday, 11:00 AM-2:00 AM
7 – Greenberg’s Deli
If you are looking for a big New York-style deli sandwich on the Las Vegas Strip, Greenberg’s Deli is one of my favorite stops. It is located along the Village Street Eateries inside New York-New York, surrounded by faux cobblestone streets, storefronts, and steam rising from the manholes.
The most popular choice is the Greenberg’s Reuben with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing on rye. The meat is steamed and sliced to order right in front of you.
At the time I checked, the Reuben cost $18.95. I know that is not exactly cheap for a sandwich, but the sandwiches here are massive. The Reuben is easily large enough to split between two people, bringing the price to less than $10 per person.
If you visit before 11:00 AM, the breakfast specials are an even better deal. A sign during my visit listed a Croissant Sandwich, NYC Deli Burrito, Pastrami & Egg Bagel, or Vegetable Burrito for $10.95, including coffee or hot tea.
Insider Tip: If you order one of the larger sandwiches, ask for an extra plate and split it. This is one of the easiest ways to turn an expensive-looking deli sandwich into a cheaper meal for two.
What to order: Greenberg’s Reuben or one of the breakfast specials
Reuben price when checked: $18.95 in July 2026
Breakfast special during my visit: $10.95 with coffee or hot tea
Best for: Large deli sandwiches and an affordable breakfast before 11:00 AM
Main drawback: Most sandwiches are no longer especially cheap unless you split one
Greenberg’s Deli
Address: 3790 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (located inside New York-New York)
Hours: Open daily from 7:00 AM-10:00 PM
Breakfast specials: Available daily until 11:00 AM
8 – Whataburger
For those of us from California, Whataburger is a rare treat since there are still no locations in the state. The Las Vegas location sits next to the Waldorf Astoria in a large two-story space shared with Parry’s Pizzeria & Taphouse.
The shared setup can be a little confusing at first, but it is also a nice perk. You can order a burger from Whataburger and then grab a craft beer or frozen cocktail from the Parry’s side.
The best part of this location is upstairs. The second-floor outdoor patio has views of the Las Vegas Strip and is a great place to sit with a burger and watch the crowds below. For the price of a fast-food meal, the view is hard to beat.
On an earlier visit, I ordered the Bacon & Cheese Whataburger shown above. It now costs $12.99 on its own, which I do not think is a great value for a fast-food burger.
If you are trying to keep the price down, the regular Whataburger is a better choice at $9.99. The smaller Whataburger Jr. costs $7.99.
Whataburger also has a rotating Whatadeals menu. When I checked, the Big Ranch Wrap was only $3.00. The available deals can change, so check the app or online menu before ordering.
Insider Tip: Head upstairs to the outdoor patio instead of eating on the first floor. Whataburger also serves breakfast from 11:00 PM to 11:00 AM, making it another option after a late night.
What to order: Whataburger, Whataburger Jr., or one of the current Whatadeals
Price when checked: $9.99 for a Whataburger, $7.99 for a Whataburger Jr., or $3.00 for the Big Ranch Wrap in July 2026
Best for: Cheap rotating deals, outdoor Strip views, and late-night food
Main drawback: Some burgers, including the $12.99 Bacon & Cheese Whataburger, are expensive for fast food
Whataburger
Address: 3752 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89158 (adjoining the Waldorf Astoria)
Hours: Open daily from 9:00 AM-3:00 AM
Breakfast hours: Daily from 11:00 PM-11:00 AM
9 – The Peppermill Restaurant & Fireside Lounge
The Peppermill Restaurant & Fireside Lounge is a Las Vegas icon that has been open since 1972. It is located between Wynn Las Vegas and Resorts World and is known for its neon lights, mirrored ceilings, purple booths, fake trees, and old-school Vegas atmosphere.
I almost removed the Peppermill from this list because the regular menu is no longer cheap. I decided to keep it because it is part of Las Vegas history, the portions are massive, and there are still ways to save money.
Many of the breakfast plates, omelets, and other entrees are large enough to split between two people. The French Toast Ambrosia is especially huge. If you are willing to share, the price per person becomes much more reasonable.
The other way to save money is to visit the Fireside Lounge during happy hour:
- Daily Happy Hour: Every day from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM with special pricing on well drinks, select beers, and house wines, plus half-off select appetizers.
- Reverse Happy Hour: Monday through Thursday from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM and Friday through Sunday from 12:00 AM to 3:00 AM. This also includes discounted drinks and half-off select appetizers.
- Locals Happy Hour: Tuesday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM in the Fireside Lounge. Las Vegas residents must show a valid ID.
For an idea of the prices, an October 2025 happy hour menu listed specialty cocktails and local beers for $7.00. Food ranged from $5.50 for chips and salsa to $15.00 for a Brazilian flat iron steak. Other choices included $8.50 mozzarella sticks, $9.50 sliders and fries, and $10.00 chicken fingers and fries. These exact prices may have changed, so check the current menu before ordering.
Insider Tip: If you are not visiting during happy hour, split one of the larger meals. This is the easiest way to make the Peppermill work as a cheap eat.
Important Note on Parking: The parking lot is small and can be difficult to navigate when it is busy. Taking a rideshare or taxi is often easier, especially at night.
What to order: French Toast Ambrosia, a large omelet to share, or select happy hour appetizers
Happy hour prices seen: $7.00 cocktails and local beers, with food starting at $5.50 in October 2025
Best for: Huge portions, old-school Las Vegas atmosphere, and happy hour
Main drawback: Regular menu prices are no longer cheap unless you split a large meal or visit during happy hour
The Peppermill Restaurant & Fireside Lounge
Address: 2985 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109
Hours: Monday-Wednesday, 7:00 AM-2:00 AM; Thursday-Sunday, open 24 hours
Last seating Monday-Wednesday: 1:15 AM
10 – Earl of Sandwich
Earl of Sandwich is one of my favorite spots in Las Vegas for a late-night, carb-heavy meal that is both affordable and filling. It is located inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, which is one of the best areas on the Strip for cheap food.
Even with food prices going up everywhere, many of the sandwiches here have stayed reasonably priced. During my June 2026 visit, all of the hot sandwiches were $9.99. This included the Original 1762, Holiday Turkey, Full Montagu, and Chipotle Chicken Avocado.
The 6-inch cold deli sandwiches were also $9.99, while the larger 12-inch versions cost $18.99. Most people will be fine with one of the regular hot sandwiches, especially if they just want a quick meal without spending $20 or more.
I usually order the Chipotle Chicken Avocado with grilled chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, lettuce, and chipotle sauce. The Holiday Turkey is another good choice with turkey, cornbread stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, and mayonnaise.
Insider Tip: Join the Royal Rewards program before your trip. Members earn points and receive coupons, exclusive offers, and birthday rewards. You can also use the app to order ahead, which is useful when the Miracle Mile Shops are busy.
What to order: Chipotle Chicken Avocado, Holiday Turkey, or the Original 1762
Price during my visit: $9.99 for a hot sandwich or 6-inch cold deli sandwich in June 2026
Best for: Affordable sandwiches, late-night food, and a quick meal
Main drawback: It is a chain, so it is not the place to go for a uniquely Las Vegas meal
Earl of Sandwich
Address: 3667 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (located inside Planet Hollywood and the Miracle Mile Shops)
Hours: Open 24 hours daily
11 – La Salsa Cantina
I am going to be honest with you: La Salsa Cantina will not win any awards for its food. There are better places to eat in Las Vegas. However, if your goal is to fill up without spending much, this is still one of the best cheap breakfast deals on the Strip.
You can find this casual Mexican restaurant inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. It is located deep inside the mall and can be a little tricky to find if you are coming in from the Strip, so check the directory if you get turned around.
The main reason to visit is the $6.99 Breakfast Special. It comes with two eggs any style, your choice of bacon, ham, or sausage, southwest potatoes, and corn or flour tortillas.
During my January 2026 visit, the $6.99 special was available every day until noon. This is different from the old deal, which had separate weekday and weekend prices.
Insider Tip: You can add a Bloody Mary for only $0.99. It is not going to be the best Bloody Mary in Las Vegas, but it is hard to complain at that price.
La Salsa Cantina also has a daily happy hour from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. During my visit, well drinks and house wine were $5.00, Dos Equis drafts were $5.50, Casa Margaritas were $6.00, and a 48-ounce Casa Yard was $15.00.
What to order: Breakfast Special and a $0.99 Bloody Mary
Price during my visit: $6.99 for the Breakfast Special in January 2026
Best for: A filling cheap breakfast and inexpensive drinks
Main drawback: The food is basic, and the restaurant can be tricky to find inside the Miracle Mile Shops
La Salsa Cantina
Address: 3663 Las Vegas Blvd S, Suite 380, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (located inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood)
Hours: Monday-Thursday, 8:00 AM-10:00 PM; Friday-Saturday, 8:00 AM-11:00 PM; Sunday, 8:00 AM-10:00 PM
Breakfast Special: Available daily until 12:00 PM
Happy hour: Daily from 3:00 PM-7:00 PM
12 – Flour & Barley Walk-Up Window
The second pizza spot on this list is the Flour & Barley Walk-Up Window at The LINQ Promenade. While Flour & Barley also has a sit-down restaurant, the walk-up window is the cheaper and quicker option if you only want a slice.
I usually order the Pepperoni Slice. It comes with small pepperoni cups, tomato sauce, melted cheese, and a crust that is crispy on the outside but still soft inside.
At the time of my visit, a cheese slice cost $7.00 and a pepperoni slice cost $8.00. Other slices ranged from $8.00 for veggie to $9.50 for meat or buffalo chicken.
After you get your pizza, look for one of the standing tables nearby. If those are taken, you can sit on the concrete ledge surrounding the large fountain in front of the restaurant. The LINQ Promenade is always busy, so it is also a good spot for people-watching.
Insider Tip: If you only want a slice, do not walk into the main restaurant. Go to the small walk-up window to the left of the entrance. The main restaurant serves whole pizzas rather than individual slices.
What to order: Cheese or Pepperoni Slice
Price during my visit: $7.00 for cheese or $8.00 for pepperoni in January 2025
Best for: A quick pizza slice and people-watching at The LINQ Promenade
Main drawback: Limited seating, and the more expensive slices can cost close to $10
Flour & Barley Walk-Up Window
Address: 3545 S Las Vegas Blvd, Suite L-25, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (located at The LINQ Promenade)
Hours: Sunday-Thursday, 11:00 AM-10:00 PM; Friday-Saturday, 11:00 AM-11:00 PM
13 – Footlong Hot Dog at Casino Royale
One of the cheapest things you can still eat on the Las Vegas Strip is the Footlong All-Beef Nathan’s Hot Dog at the Snack Nook inside Casino Royale. The stand is tucked toward the back of the casino, so it can be easy to miss if you are just walking past.
As of July 2026, the footlong hot dog cost $4.99. You could also make it a combo with chips and a small drink.
The hot dog comes plain with condiment packets on the side. Standard toppings, including onions, jalapeños, relish, and tomatoes, cost $0.49 each. Premium toppings, including grilled peppers and onions, nacho cheese, and all-beef chili, cost $0.99 each. Even if you add chili and cheese, the total is still less than $6 before tax.
The Snack Nook also sells sliders for $3.99 each. During my visit, a limited-time $9.99 combo included two sliders, fries, and a small drink.
I would not go out of my way just to eat here. The hot dog is simple and works better as a cheap snack or quick late-night meal. Still, at $4.99, it is hard to find anything this filling for less on the Strip.
What to order: Footlong All-Beef Nathan’s Hot Dog
Price during my visit: $4.99 in July 2026
Best for: A cheap snack or quick late-night meal on the Strip
Main drawback: The food is basic and not worth making a special trip for
Footlong Hot Dogs at the Snack Nook
Address: 3411 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (located inside Casino Royale)
Hours: Sunday-Thursday, 10:00 AM-1:00 AM; Friday-Saturday, 10:00 AM-3:00 AM
14 – In-N-Out Burger
The final spot on my list of the best cheap eats in Las Vegas goes to In-N-Out Burger. Sure, it is a fast-food chain, but it is still one of the easiest places to get a filling meal for less than $10 on the Strip.
The location covered here is at The LINQ Promenade near the large fountain. It is especially popular with visitors who do not have In-N-Out back home, so expect a line during busy times. Even when the line looks long, it usually moves at a steady pace.
I always order the Double-Double with two beef patties, two slices of cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and spread on a toasted bun. I like mine with both fresh and grilled onions, along with chopped chilies.
During my January 2026 visit, the Double-Double cost $6.55. A cheeseburger was $4.65, a hamburger was $4.10, and an order of fries was $2.70. A Double-Double and fries came to $9.25 before tax.
If you want something more filling, order the fries Animal Style with melted cheese, spread, and grilled onions. They are messy, so make sure to grab a fork.
There is now a second In-N-Out location directly on the Strip at BLVD Las Vegas, across from Aria. It opened in June 2026 on the third floor of the shopping center, making it another option if you are staying farther south.
Insider Tip: If you find the regular fries too soft, order them “Light Well.” They cook them a little longer, giving them more crunch. The dining room at The LINQ location is often full, so order your food to go and sit on the concrete ledge around the fountain outside.
The In-N-Out Company Store is also next door if you want shirts, socks, towels, or other merchandise without waiting in the restaurant line.
What to order: Double-Double and Fries Light Well or Animal Style
Price during my visit: $6.55 for a Double-Double and $2.70 for fries in January 2026
Best for: An inexpensive burger and fries in the middle of the Strip
Main drawback: Long ordering lines and a crowded dining room during busy times
In-N-Out Burger at The LINQ Promenade
Address: 3545 S Las Vegas Blvd, Suite L24, Las Vegas, NV 89109
Hours: Sunday-Thursday, 10:30 AM-1:00 AM; Friday-Saturday, 10:30 AM-1:30 AM
Final Thoughts on Cheap Eats on the Las Vegas Strip
Cheap food on the Las Vegas Strip is harder to find than it used to be, but there are still good deals if you know where to look. Tacos El Gordo is my top overall pick, La Salsa Cantina has one of the cheapest breakfasts, and the $3.99 footlong hot dog at Casino Royale is still hard to beat.
For bigger meals, splitting a sandwich at Greenberg’s Deli or one of the massive plates at the Peppermill can help keep the price down. Happy hours, rewards programs, and ordering individual items instead of full combos can also save you quite a bit.
