While the masses flock to spendy, upscale celebrity chef restaurants, people like us are looking to save a few bucks by hunting down fast food in Las Vegas.
While fast food restaurants on the Strip garner little buzz on social media, options are numerous, with more and more resorts offering food courts packed with inexpensive options.
I thought it would be helpful to publish a resort-by-resort guide to finding fast food on the Strip, so you can find a budget-friendly meal that fits both your tastes and budget.
Not surprisingly, the number of fast food restaurant options at a casino & hotel directly correlates to whether or not that resort is recognized as a “value” option itself.
For our purposes here, I’ll stick to pointing out popular fast food chains, but know that there are also cheap sit-down restaurants on the Strip ($15 or under).

Tacos El Gordo is located across the street from Resorts World and could be described as “fast food” also as food is prepared immediately as you order it. I put “fast food” in quotes because there’s typically a significant line to place an order. In my opinion, it’s worth the wait.

That wraps it up! Fortunately for value seekers, there’s an abundance of fast food restaurants on the Strip to choose from, with almost every resort offering something.
If you’re in the vicinity of either Cosmopolitan or Resorts World, I’d recommend upgrading your fast food experience and leveling up to the higher-end quick offerings that each offers in their food halls.
At Caesars Palace, it’s tough to go wrong with a gyro bowl at The Halal Guys, which offers plenty of food, and spice if that’s your preference.
