153 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas, Nevada

This steakhouse, in an elegant room with an actual window, is named for the Old Las Vegas neighborhood occupied by the city's power elite. The atmosphere is contemporary but white-tablecloth restrained, and the menu's as beef-centric as you would expect, with steaks from a wood-fired grill on both a standard and sub-menu dedicated to wagyu options. The departures are in the Filipino touches given some dishes, such as the raw bar's tiradito, by chef Marty Red DeLeon Lopez. Showier highlights include a mesquite-fired crustacean tower in two sizes, traditional caviar service, and, of course, an extensive Scotch program. There's a \"social hour\" from 5 to 7 pm Mondays through Thursdays offering discounts on select entrees as well as cocktails and appetizers.

Chef James Trees has had a bit of a Midas touch around his native Las Vegas; every restaurant he creates is gold. It's no surprise, then, that this French-influenced Arts District restaurant has become an instant hit among locals and visitors alike. The menu features fresh spins on classic dishes such as escargot, boeuf Bourguignon, and sole Veronique, but the real stand-outs are the appetizers. The \"Plateaux de Fruits de Mer\" allow guests to assemble their own seafood towers, while three different pates options will make mouths water. The space itself is exquisite, with a marble-capped bar and lights that resemble palm fronds. After dinner have a nightcap at the Petite Boheme cocktail bar out back.

Chef Barry Dakake made a name for himself in this town with his work at N9NE Steakhouse inside the Palms (back when the Palms was at the forefront of cool). This new eponymous restaurant, on the lowest level of Circa Las Vegas, is a mix of old and new, blending classics from N9NE with modern dishes and a variety of fish and shellfish. Big parties love the bone marrow appetizer, which includes the opportunity to drink a shot of vodka through a hallowed-out bone. Another crowd favorite: seafood towers, which come in a variety of sizes. Cocktails here are strong and creative; some are made tableside by scantily clad mixologists working different cocktail carts. The dining room at Barry's is swanky and sophisticated, with plenty of hidden alcoves. Perhaps the only demerit: sometimes the music can be deafening. 

When chefs name their idol, more than a few will cite French Laundry chef Thomas Keller, the star behind this stunning, capacious French bistro in the Venezia Tower. Soaring Palladian windows, antique lighting fixtures, a pewter-topped bar, and colorful tile lend a sophisticated take on French country design, a fitting setting in which to dine on savory, rich cuisine. Menu options include classics such as escargots de Bourgogne, steak frites, mussels with white wine, and an extensive seafood bar, and selections of cheese and caviar. Finish with profiteroles or crème caramel. A three-course prix-fixe menu honors the late culinary lion Paul Bocuse. A charming garden outside is perfect for an alfresco dinner or post-meal stroll. Return for brunch from 8 am to 1 pm Thursdays or 8 am to 2 pm Fridays through Sundays, when you might try roasted chicken with a bacon-chive waffle, Croque Madame, or seared foie gras. There's a freestanding Bouchon Bakery near the Venetian Theatre, offering breads, pastries, and confections.

This sleek restaurant may be decorated primarily in neutrals, but the food by James Beard–nominated chef Nicole Brisson brings plenty of color. Her updated Italian classics include Tuscan carne cruda with lemon, capers, and shallots; herb tagliatelle with rabbit ragu; a whole branzino; and a 120-day dry-aged 42-ounce tomahawk. At lunch, choices include a sausage and fontina tart, and charred octopus. Ciccetti Hour is from 3:30 to 5 pm daily. When the weather’s grand, dine on the lovely expansive patio, which is surrounded by olive trees saved from the old Stardust.

Top Chef star and James Beard Award–winning chef Tom Colicchio presides over this streamlined spot tucked into a corner of the MGM Grand’s Restaurant Row. The menu is as sophisticated as the surroundings, with an emphasis on top-shelf beef, including Japanese Certified A5 Wagyu as a rib eye or New York strip, plus domestic Wagyu, dry-aged and prime beef, and seafood, including lobster, diver scallops, and a tower. 

The rare Greek restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip certainly doesn't disappoint, although you'll pay exceedingly well for the experience. Chef Costas Spiliadis flies in fresh fish from the Mediterranean; you pick out the piece of fish at market price and select how you'd like it prepared. Starters such as Greek bottarga are a nice complement to the main courses. Also worth sampling: the Milos Special, lightly fried zucchini with eggplant, tzatziki, and saganaki cheese. And the aesthetic experience matches the cuisine, the architecture echoing ancient Greece with stone, wood, and marble. The Greek gods would approve.

In a town where restaurants come and go almost as quickly as visitors' cash, the longevity of this steak house, which opened in 1958, is itself a recommendation. Both locals and visitors adore the classic atmosphere with red-leather seating, polished dark wood, and stained-glass windows for the huge slabs of well-prepared meat. Steak, prime rib, lamb chops, king crab legs, and Italian classics such as eggplant parmigiana and chicken of the angels are particularly popular, as are tableside preparations of Caesar salad, bananas foster, and cherries jubilee. Some of the booths are reputed to be the same ones where Elvis, Frank Sinatra, and other members of the Rat Pack—not to mention some infamous mobsters—used to sit.

This venerable restaurant dates to the Rat Pack era. The \"cellar\" aspect (it's about a half-flight below ground) gives it a cozy feel, as do Old Vegas touches like table-side salad preparation with every dinner (you choose what you want from the cart), a red rose for each woman, and formal, impeccable service. The menu presents a 1960s vibe, with dishes like Duck Anise Flambé, chateaubriand and lobster for two, and table-side cherries jubilee and bananas Foster. But entrées are prepared with modern sensibilities and are joined by new-era choices like a grilled stuffed portobello mushroom and other vegetarian entrées.

The Lake of Dreams is the crown jewel of Wynn Las Vegas, and Lakeside is the setting. If the weather’s pleasant, opt for a waterside table with a view of the outdoor water show and the resort’s pine forest. You’ll find lots of classics on this menu, such as bouillabaisse, roasted lobsters, and king crab, as well as an array of steaks. Caviar is served with warm blini and toast points for that authentic experience.

When \"Iron Chef\" Masaharu Morimoto opened his restaurant in what he proudly called \"the most famous city in the world,\" it marked his first foray into teppanyaki, sure to be popular with conventioneers. There's also sushi and sashimi, of course, and some of his standards: braised black cod with a ginger-soy reduction, and tuna pizza with anchovy aioli, olives, and jalapeños. The menu includes oysters with foie gras and uni, as well as ishi yaki chashu bop and ishi yaki buri bop—pork or yellowtail-rich dishes cooked at your table in a hot stone bowl—plus a selection of steaks. It's all served in an expansive, streamlined spot on MGM Resort's restaurant row. 

After a 2018 makeover, Palace Station is nearly unrecognizable from the old days, but for one holdover: the justly popular Oyster Bar, which has a cult following among the cognoscenti, not to mention long waits during peak hours (reservations aren't taken for the limited seating area). You won’t go wrong with chilled seafood or steamers, but the pan roasts are truly sublime, with a base of brandy-infused tomato creating a seafood stew. It’s open 24/7, so avoid the long lines by going at an off-hour.

In an ultraswank dining room on the second floor of the Augustus Tower, Michelin three-star chef Guy Savoy introduces diners to his masterful creations, such as crispy branzino roulade with ceviche and fennel. The seven-course 5 Star Celebration Menu features signature dishes like the artichoke-and-black-truffle soup and binchotan-charred octopus with caviar. Prices are a little lower if you opt for the à la carte menu. The selections from Savoy's 15,000-bottle wine cellar only add to this restaurant's epicurean mystique.

With all the panache of an Asian royal palace, this fine-dining restaurant serves some of the choicest Chinese food on the Strip. Chefs present contemporary French-inspired cuisine that blends the Cantonese, Shanghai, and Sichuan traditions. The decadent imperial Peking duck dinner, carved table-side, is a showstopper, but don't overlook options that could include fried prawns with candied walnuts and a kalamansi-honey sauce, garlic beef tenderloin with black-pepper sauce, or the amazing Three Cup Sea Bass with ginger-soy reduction. Vegan options are available.

Celebrity Chef Wolfgang Puck got in early on the rise of the Arts District when he opened this casual bar and café in 2023 (the name is pronounced \"Twelve Twenty-Eight\"). The restaurant side is a full-service bakery, cranking out breads and pastries all day long. It also serves food for three meals a day, as well as brunch on weekends. The bar side is a typical Las Vegas cocktail room, and is a welcoming spot to pass time while you're waiting for a table. Arrive early for weekend brunch as the place gets packed.

Chef Bobby Flay scored another hoped-for hot spot at Caesars Palace with his replacement for the popular Mesa Grill. With a menu emphasizing seafood (thanks to Flay's visits to Italy's Amalfi Coast), the new restaurant encourages diners to visit a \"market\" section near the back, where they can choose a whole fish and one of three ways to prepare it. A \"knowledgeable fishmonger\" is on hand to answer the diners' questions, right down to where the fish comes from and how long it's been sitting. One thing to note: this is Flay's first foray into an Italian restaurant concept.

This offshoot of Joe Vicari's numerous restaurants in the Detroit area is right at home in the loosely Detroit-theme D Las Vegas. The menu is evenly split between steak-house classics and Italian-American favorites. There's atmosphere aplenty; customers enter through a long, arched brick passage to emerge into a candlelit room staffed by tux-clad waiters. And the food matches the elegant aura, with such starters as a rich lobster bisque with butter-poached lobster, or banana peppers with house-made sausage; entrées include a half-dozen steaks along with Italian pastas and fish, chicken, and veal dishes.

Anima means “soul,” and the unique fusion of Italian and Spanish cuisine found at this upscale eatery certainly has it. The boldness of the menu is mirrored by the eye-popping octopus mural that adorns a dining room wall and a charcuterie bar positioned in the front of the house. In the The Gramercy apartment complex, Anima is the latest creation from the team behind the acclaimed EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine in Chinatown, and some favorites originating there can be found at Anima, including the \"Bikini\" (a pressed ham and cheese sandwich). Entrees include vegan mushroom risotto as well as the the must-try braised short ribs, served with semolina gnocchi, maitake mushrooms, and black pepper sauce. There’s also a spirited selection of spirits, from a deep wine list with an emphasis on Italian and Spanish offerings to an extensive array of amaro varieties to try.

Anthony's is the M Resort's version of the steak house that's de rigueur in every casino. The atmosphere is sleek and sophisticated, with the feel, food, and service of a Strip spot without the steep Strip prices. Start with the Signature Oysters Rockefeller and they'll arrive on a bed of rock salt strewn with aromatics, and follow it with a dry- or wet-aged steak. During happy hour in the bar from 5 to 6 pm daily, certain appetizers are buy one, get one free.

Caviar Bar has tweaked its name to clarify its broader mission, but Michelin-starred chef Shaun Hergatt is still at the helm, and this still is the place if caviar is your thing. Hergatt brings his A game with at least six types of the precious little fish eggs; caviar appears in such dishes as Tasmanian ocean trout with calamansi and trout roe, but there are plenty of (fish) egg-less dishes, too, including seared foie gras, Alaskan black cod, steaks, and fresh oysters. Needless to say, you can also order your caviar in portions of 50 or 125 grams, and the menu offers many other selections from the shellfish and raw bar.

Fans of Thai food flock here for spot-on exceptional chow with few surprises—just expertly prepared curries, tom yum soups, fish cakes, and pad Thais. In particular, the shrimp \"ginger ginger ginger\" (or you can choose it with meat or tofu) has drawn raves; yes, it really is that gingery. Archi's was one of the first Thai restaurants in Las Vegas and still holds a reputation among locals as one of the best. Reasonably priced three-course lunch specials are served from 11 am to 3 pm weekdays. This original location has held its own for more than 20 years, but there are two other branches, in the Southwest part of town (6345 S. Rainbow Blvd., Summerlin and 9350 W. Sahara Ave.), and a fast-casual spot (9310 S. Eastern Ave., Henderson).

Caesars Palace completely revamped its buffet experience with the Bacchanal Buffet. It's a culinary extravaganza of more than 250 menu items daily, plus nine chef-attended action stations and the support of 10 kitchens, with an emphasis on seasonality. Made-to-order sushi, baked-to-order soufflés, pizza made in a wood-burning oven, and individual portions of dishes that are served in steam tables elsewhere are consumed in three distinct dining areas with glass, wood, and steel decor themes. As at most buffets, brunch is served—Bacchanal's features snow crab—which is served from 1 to 3 pm Mondays and Thursdays and 9 am to 3 pm Friday through Sunday.

James Beard Award–winning chef Shawn McClain has long had a presence on the Strip, but he ventured north for this restaurant that draws high energy from the live-action kitchen and pasta-making window. The menu is studded with familiar dishes with creative twists, like the speck with sweet basil and figs, and hand-rolled cavatelli with braised lamb and kale. A wood fire is employed for the likes of sea bream with lemon and capers, and New York strip with dried tomatoes and aged balsamic; a variety of sides round things out. A three-course family-style tasting menu for groups of four or more is reasonably priced compared to most on the Strip.

This casual restaurant from James Beard–nominated chef Nicole Brisson offers a panoply of tapas-inspired dishes from around the world in a slightly funky, highly energetic atmosphere. Bring a friend or four and share dishes such as roasted beets with charred oranges, baby kale salad with apples and chorizo, or Basque seafood stew. There also are cheese and salumi boards, pizzas, and sandwiches.

Michael Mina’s stunning Belle Époque dark-wood-and-glass wonder on the mezzanine level of ARIA has, as you might expect, a decidedly French accent, and old-world glory shines in dishes such as caviar deviled eggs, crêpe madame, and sea bass Provençal for two. At brunch, which runs from 9 am to 2 pm Friday through Sunday, you can indulge in French toast with vanilla mascarpone and almond brittle, or the pastry selection that includes canelés and kouign-amanns. Happy hour is from 5 to 7 pm daily, accompanied by cocktails like La Vie en Rose and Le Pêche Mode.

With tufted leather banquettes, subdued lighting, and dark decor accents, Bavette's, inside Park MGM, offers a much stronger dose of Gallic flair than the typical Las Vegas steak house. The restaurant offers a full complement of popular steak cuts ranging from a 32-ounce wagyu Porterhouse to a 6-ounce filet mignon, as well as seafood, steakhouse sides and a few vegan selections. Following in the tradition of its Chicago progenitor, the bar pours classic cocktails and curates an international wine list. If you feel like getting cozy, the speakeasy-style lounge has an air of intimacy.

Legendary chef Jose Andres has built on the success of his longtime Bazaar Meats on the North Strip with his newest entry on the Center Strip, at the Shops at Crystals. Here, as you might guess, the emphasis is on seafood, presented in a theatrical atmosphere. There’s an extensive raw bar and whole fish grilled, fried, baked in sea salt, or as sashimi. Guests are invited to “sea what else” as in rossejat, a traditional paella of toasted pasta with spider crab gratin, or Alaskan king crab chawanmushi, with umami egg custard. “Little sandwiches” include the Po Boy Jose (with fried squid) and Not So Po Boy Jose (with fried oysters and caviar), but carnivores aren’t forgotten.

The doyenne of domesticity and queen of all things culinary opened her first restaurant in late 2022 at Paris Las Vegas, and the raves just keep on coming. It’s named for her beloved New York farmhouse and designed to evoke a farmhouse-to-table ethos, with clean-lined rustic furniture and a plethora of plants along the boulevard that winds through the resort. Some carp about the high price of the roasted chicken for two (a half-chicken for one also is available), but in the next breath proclaim it the best extant. Big Martha’s Pierogis are here among many of Martha’s favorites, and in an only-in-Vegas touch, you can get them topped with golden osetra caviar. There’s also a four-course prix-fixe menu of the classics, and a selection of specialty cocktails (along with beers and wines) that include the Martha-tini and two Martha-ritas. Brunch is served Friday through Sunday.

Famed Los Angeles chef Roy Choi debuted in Las Vegas with this lively concept inside Park MGM serving Korean BBQ as well as a panoply of favorites from Choi's Koreatown experience. While a DJ spins tunes at a turntable in the corner, the meal starts with a sampling of banchan: tiny dishes that include kimchi, broccoli, cucumbers, spinach, and more. From there, try the slippery shrimp, the kimchi fried rice, the kogi short rib tacos, and the pork belly hot pot. Service is family style, meant for sharing. Decor brings to mind a colorful stop at a food truck. Before you leave, be sure to peruse the shelves at the working convenience store out front.

What warms the blood more swiftly at this down-home hang: the fresh-from-the-oven biscuits or the 80-plus varieties of bourbon? Find out at this unique addition to the ongoing refurbishment of the Water Street District in downtown Henderson, where you will find drinks served in Mason jars and a menu of smoked meats, from pulled pork to apple-brined chicken, in big portions. The biscuits are served à la carte with your choice of flavored butters, honeys, and jams. (You can't go wrong with the classic buttermilk biscuits topped with apple cider caramel butter, clover honey, and mango habanero jam.) The room is small, with a rustic-yet-modern, wood-grained decor. (Those with truly formidable stomach capacities can take on the \"All In,\" which pairs three-quarters-of-a-pound servings of three meats with an equal number of large sides.) Brunchers would do well to indulge in the fried chicken waffle, as good a reason for getting up early on the weekends as any.
