Last time I was there I spent all my time playing poker I obviously need to get out and eat at all these places. I went to the hot dog stand like 6 times, looking back it sounds like the worst move possible, but at the time they sounded good.

lol, I always thought the Emerald was good because I went there once at 3:30am and had the buffalo chicken wrap.

I myself was not happy with the service or the food but I have heard some great reviews.

my comment about the forest grill may be biased due to the fact my dining companion was prevaricator, but the food was way too salty and overpriced. in vegas atleast overpriced food is excellent.
edit: Bear in mind this was 2ish years ago, so it's possible the restaurant has gotten better (or worse) with age.

My fores grill experience was bad but I went with someone who ordered a steak well done while mine medium rare when I got it was very cold.
