Whether you already live in the Bullhead City, Fort Mohave or Laughlin, Nevada areas, are considering a move or purchase here or are just enjoying your visit to the area, it's great to know what some of the locals like me do about the great places to eat--and the deals on good meals that are all over!

Of course, you can always hit the casinos, and indeed one of the best deals I know about right now is Monday thru Thursday at the beautiful Harrah's Resort Casino in Laughlin, where, if you have a local resident identification card (a driver's license or state ID), you can hit their really good buffet very inexpensively -- 2 for one and a third for half price! So around twelve bucks and change for two, or eighteen plus tax for three. They have a good selection, like prime rib, seafood, decent salads and yummy desserts. Worth trying!

The trick is always to get out past the rows of slots. But you can do it! (I didn't say I could, but you are strong!) :)

Here are some of my favorite non-casino spots for face-feeding:

On the Nevada side, there's Minato. Okay, a bit less affordable than the area's best deals, but try a similar quality of sushi in LA, Palm Springs or Vegas and compare! This is just as good as the 'big city' sushi if not better and my husband and I generally get out of there under a C-note plus tip.

The newest hotspot in Bullhead is Buffalo Wild Wings, and it is a total thumbs up! If you like HOT HOT HOT wings, you are in for a treat! They use habanero sauce in their 'Extreme' wings and if you can eat a dozen in under 6 minutes, you get your picture on the wall. I'm trying it tonight! (Will let you know how I do) If the idea of really hot wings makes you feel a bit weak in the tummy, you can ask for the mellower versions. They have great salads and desserts and lots of cool TV screens and online games you can play with others in the bar or a national group of 'buzzheads' and you'd better be both good and quick on the draw. And the panoramic views of the river and town from the outdoors dining area will remind the locals how awesome it is to live here! Our bill for two, with drinks, appetizer and dessert came to 53 bucks not including tip. A good deal!

A perennial locals' favorite is Yo-Yos Tacos in Fort Mohave. They have a little salsa bar with a selection of fresh salsas, which goes great with the seasoned tortilla chips they immediately bring to your table. I don't think I have ever been there where it took longer than 10 minutes to get your order. Great for lunch time crunch! The fish and chicken tacos are delish. If you have a huge appetite, the Gringo or Special Burritos are loaded with meat, beans, rice, veggies and sour cream cost 5 - 7 bucks. Friday is all you can eat fish taco night. Our bill for two dinners (taco salad, fish tacos, regular tacos and two beers (and they have a great selection of drinks, by the way!) came to . . . 25.49.

And China Buffet is another good place to eat good on a budget in Bullhead. ( Read Rick's Restaurant Review for more area restaurant reviews) and I will add that if you want to have decent sushi on this side of the river for cheap cheap cheap, this is the place. The sushi selection is limited and nothing exotic, but if you like salmon, tuna, shrimp sushi and tuna and California rolls washed down with a Tsingtao, you're golden. Last check I paid there was for 3 guests -- 34 bucks plus tip.

Just what we need after a month of excess, right? :) I know, I'm mischievous like that!

Bon Appetit!
