Cheap Breakfast in Vegas

Las Vegas is all about the nightlife, but eventually, the sun rises, and it’s time to greet the day. You’re in search of a restaurant that offers excellent breakfast food at a reasonable price. You’re ready to eat, so we did the work of finding the best spots for breakfast in Vegas, where you can dig in without spending a fortune. 

Let’s just say that Las Vegas doesn’t lack in restaurants to grab a great breakfast. From the typical breakfast buffet to top-notch dining, breakfast is everywhere. Coming up with the best spot for cheap eats was a delicious challenge, and our pick is one that might seem a little unexpected. 

Mr. Mamas isn’t located among the glittering lights and glamor of the Las Vegas Strip, and it isn’t nestled in a prime location on Fremont Street. Its unassuming location is in a strip mall, about 5-ish miles from Las Vegas Blvd. Still, thousands have found this goldmine of cheap breakfasts and have left rave reviews (nearly 5 stars on Google, with more than 2,500 reviews). 

The breakfast menu is large. If you’re in the mood for an omelet, there are ten different choices, plus the option to build your own. Mama’s Homemade Biscuits and Gravy are a tried and true favorite, but they also offer lighter options like breakfast wraps and a Greek yogurt parfait. 

Many dishes hover right around $10, with some being a little less and others a little more. Portion sizes are generous, so you’re not going to leave hungry. There’s no question that Mr. Mamas is one of the tastiest best values of the Vegas breakfast scene. 

A few more details about Mr. Mamas

• Open seven days a week from 7 am – 3 pm
• Depending on the line, you might encounter a bit of a line, but the wait is worth it
• Every dish is made to order
• Great reviews for customer service 
• Great spot for lunch too!

It isn’t always easy to find a good, cheap breakfast in Las Vegas, especially on the Las Vegas Strip, but Ocean One Bar & Grille is an exception. This favorite spot for the cheapest breakfasts is located inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. 

For the record, there are several restaurants in the Miracle Mile Shops that offer good, inexpensive food for the morning crowd. Ocean One Bar & Grille just happens to be our favorite pick for the best and cheapest breakfast on the Las Vegas Strip. 

There aren’t any crazy, standout dishes here. Just really good classic breakfast food like omelets, eggs any style, a Belgian waffle with strawberries, sausage, bacon, and all the usual fixins’. Cheese lovers will devour the three-cheese omelet loaded with cheddar, jack, and American cheese. Of course, there are some healthy options too, like fresh mixed fruit and the smoked salmon bagel. 

Every item for breakfast is under $9, except for the steak and eggs that’s a bit more. Another very cheap, very Vegas feature on their menu is their three-for-one cocktail special. All day, every day (yes, even at breakfast), you can score three cocktails for only $10, which in Vegas is almost like free. 

A few more details about Ocean One Bar & Grille 

• Open daily from 7:30 am – 11:30 pm 
• Also a great lunch spot for cheap food with EVERYTHING on their lunch menu priced at $4.99
• Outside seating is great for people watching 
• Great location at Planet Hollywood means your day of Vegas adventures can start immediately after breakfast

Lou’s Diner is located a bit away from the crowds and craziness of Las Vegas Blvd and the downtown area, which can feel like a breath of fresh air if you’re doing Vegas with the kids. Lou’s Diner has a long history in Las Vegas and was once called Jo-Ells and sat on the very outskirts of town. As Vegas grew, this little hidden away spot found itself in the center of the city and soon became the treasure Vegas breakfast spot that we now know of as Lou’s. 

But, enough about history. Let’s talk about the food! Lou’s Diner offers breakfast served all day, from 5:30 am – 3 pm. If you want to save money while enjoying a delicious, filling meal with the family, this is the place to be. 

Their menu features breakfast standards like eggs made in just about every way imaginable and classic french toast, with most dishes coming in at under $10. We like the fact that they have a dedicated kids menu, which isn’t always easy to come by in a place that’s nicknamed Sin City. The portions are perfect for younger kids, and nothing on the kids’ menu costs more than $4. 

A few more details about Lou’s Diner:

• Breakfast served all day, but a lunch menu is also available
• Senior menu also available
• Guest favorites include Brad’s Buritto with eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese, sour cream & green sauce, and three eggs omelets
• Long history of serving up delicious eats in Las Vegas

A long night out in Las Vegas feels great while it’s happening, but maybe not so much the morning after. What you need is a breakfast that gives you a bit of a kickstart and perhaps helps with the pounding headache. There are two things you’re looking for – out of this world, delicious and cheap.

For you, we recommend La Salsa Cantina in the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. 

La Salsa Cantina is one of those restaurants where everything just tastes really good. This is a Mexican restaurant, so there are plenty of regional dishes to brighten your morning, like Huevos Rancheros or the breakfast quesadilla in chipotle flour tortillas. Both of these dishes are under $10. 

If you’re in more of a classic mood for curing your hangover, you’ll want to try the French Toast that’s loaded with cinnamon sugar, or a simple dish of two eggs, any style. Both will fill you up and not break the bank. 

If you’re the type to get right back at it with a little “hair of the dog,” La Salsa Cantina has a few breakfast cocktails that will do the trick. Try their Bloody Mary or Avion Tequila Sunrise. The fact that the breakfast cocktails are all under $5 might not bode so well for avoiding another hangover. 

A few more details about La Salsa Cantina:

• The Miracle Mile Shops where La Salsa Cantina is located features more than 170 stores and is a popular entertainment venue 
• Spicy or subdued, there’s something on the menu for you
• Breakfast only cocktail menu
• Also open for lunch and dinner (in case that hangover means you get a late start)

Crepe Expectations receives excellent customer reviews, and it doesn’t take much more than a quick glance at their menu to understand why. You could settle for simple cheese crepe, but why do that with so many enticing options?

Crepe Expectations offers both savory and sweet crepes, and all of them sound delicious. The Caprese is light, refreshing, and hits the spot when you’re not craving something sweet. But, if it’s rich and decadent that you’re after, the Nutty Classic is heavenly. Find Crepe Expectations 

on Eastern Avenue in Las Vegas. 

Eggslut

Another golden nugget of goodness located in the Cosmopolitan on the Vegas Strip, Eggslut doesn’t mess around when it comes to breakfast sandwiches and all things egg. At Eggslut, you approach the walk-up window and order your brand of eggy goodness. The menu isn’t huge, but most items are under $10 and decadently good. 

Try the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich with applewood smoked bacon. Pair it with Truffle Hashbrowns, and we guarantee the start of your day just got a lot better. 

PBR Rock Bar 

A rock bar as a top spot to get your brekkie on? Well, we are talking about Vegas here. The PBR Rock Bar is located inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, and they have a budget-friendly breakfast menu that will knock your slippers off. 

Their classic breakfast with Texas Toast is less than $8, but the chicken & waffles and chilaquiles shouldn’t be missed. Did we mention that there are also bottomless mimosas and bloody marys? 

District: Donuts.Sliders.Brew

District: Donuts.Sliders.Brew is a treasure located in the Block 16 Urban Food Hall at the Cosmopolitan. Donuts might not be what you first think of when it comes to New Orleans-style food, but this place is a favorite there, just as it is in Vegas. 

Choose from more than 100 rotating varieties of donuts, donut sandwiches, and kolaches. The Brews part of the name is all about the coffee, from a cold-brewed nitro coffee to Vietnamese Iced coffee; this is the spot to get your caffeine jolt. The best part is that almost everything is between $5-$10. 

There are literally thousands of restaurants in Las Vegas, and while many of them are out-of-this-world great, there are more than a few that aren’t. Las Vegas is also the land of fine dining and expensive meals, and you’d rather save some of your money for other attractions or maybe the casino instead of blowing it all on a breakfast burrito.

In a sea of culinary options, here are few things to consider when deciding where to go for a breakfast that’s both cheap and delicious in Las Vegas. 

Price

Ok, this one seems like a no-brainer when talking about finding the cheapest breakfast, but “Cheap” means different things to different people. For you, it might mean that you don’t want to spend more than $5, which means you’re more limited to grab-and-go options like a Kolaches at the District. 

If spending $10-$15 or a little less is what you’re looking for, any of the sit-down restaurants on our list will fill you up without emptying your wallet. 

Location 

Some of the best hidden gems for enjoying an affordable breakfast in Las Vegas are located away from the Strip, Fremont Street, and the general downtown area. Mr. Mamas and Lou’s Diners are just a couple of examples. If you have transportation and don’t mind straying away from the typical Vegas scene, you’ll find more places like this outside the busier areas. 

If you want to start playing and exploring right after your morning meal, someplace like Ocean One Grille at Planet Hollywood is centrally located, so most everything is a short walk away. 

Type of Breakfast Food 

Las Vegas is the land of buffets. You can find incredible breakfast buffets, like the one at the MGM Grand, where you can eat until you can’t stuff in another bite of hash browns. Buffet options usually aren’t what you’d consider the cheapest, however. Most will cost upward of $25 per person for breakfast. 

There’s also the classic diner-style breakfast food, like what they throw down at Mr. Mamas, and quick bites like what you’ll find at Eggslut. If you’re getting a late start on breakfast, the world is your oyster because most restaurants, even those offering breakfast all day, begin serving their regular menus around 11 am. 

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and you’ll definitely need some morning fuel to get you through a day of fun and exploration in Las Vegas. Whether you plan on staying close to Las Vegas Blvd or venturing off into the city, a great breakfast awaits. Check out Mr. Mamas or get crazy with some crepes at Crepe Expectations. Just make sure your belly is full for the day ahead.
