Want to go real cheap?
Answer: Johnny Smalls at the Hard Rock
You can’t pull this one off with someone in a new relationship. You’ll end up going home alone. But if you and your sweetheart are big on love but short on cash and really want a night out for Valentines Day, try Johnny Smalls. They do small plates and sushi in a casual but very cool atmosphere and you can do an all you can eat for only $19.95 per person (with players card that easy to get). Read more here. Then take your honey over to the Bellagio and watch the Fountain Show. It’s free and it’s the most romantic spot in Las Vegas.
