153 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas, Nevada

If you're looking for a type of place where the waitress calls you \"honey,\" this locals' diner for more than 35 years has an old-fashioned, family-owned vibe. The food is better than most nearby chain places, serving up hearty Mexican specialties, fruit-topped pancakes and waffles, and senior specials. Blueberry Hill has four locations, two of them near each other on the East Side, a couple of miles apart on Flamingo Road. This one is closest to both the Strip and UNLV and is open 24 hours a day.

Since Bobby Flay has always been known for his grilling skills, a burger place just seems like a natural choice. But these aren't just any burgers; order Bobby's Crunchburger, and you'll find it piled with potato chips for the signature sound. There are sides, of course, as well as thick shakes and even beer and canned cocktails. Breakfast is served from 7 to 11 am daily. Also at Caesars Palace on the Center Strip and Harrah's on the North Strip.

Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger are the popular, green-minded chefs who created this cheery, sophisticated outpost of their now-closed Santa Monica restaurant. Service is snappy, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a tastier margarita in town—particularly the blood orange and chili-citrus versions. Starters include three citrusy ceviches and plantain empanadas, and grilled sustainable fish and hormone-free meats, such as short ribs and marinated pork, make healthful, flavorful fillings for tacos and tortillas. The all-you-can-eat weekend brunch, served from 10 to 3, features creative small plates, such as horchata French toast, diablo chicken with a churro waffle, and cajeta churro tots with cinnamon and raspberry sauce.

Renowned chef Michael Mina has added to his stable of Las Vegas restaurants with this intimate spot at the Four Seasons. Some of the dishes that made Mina famous are here—the lobster pot pie, his caviar \"Twinkiee\"—but as you’d expect the stars are the steaks. The list of offerings includes a filet mignon, wagyu rib cap, bone-in or boneless ribeye, as well as a hay-smoked and salt-baked bourbon-flamed tomahawk ribeye, if you’re feeling especially flush. Non-beef options include chicken, duck, and seafood.

One of the more recent entries in the Viva Italiano! culinary scene, the Milan-inspired restaurant at Grand Canal Shoppes is a creation sitting right on The Venetian's replica of St. Mark's Square. Taking its name from the Brera neighborhood of Milan, the menu focuses on Milanese favorites. Try these mouth-waterers: squash blossoms, braised beef cheek, lamb chops, calamari, branzino, pizzas, and pastas; there also are vegetarian selections. Top it off with premium Italian wines and cocktails for an experience that aims to be thoroughly and authentically northern Italian. Brunch selections augment the lunch menu, and during Apertivo Hour from 2 to 5 pm daily, pizzas, cocktails, beers, and wines by the glass are half-off.

Step into the regal dining room, tricked out with opulent chandeliers and elegant artwork, and any doubt that a buffet could meet Bellagio's standards vanishes. Even the most discerning foodie should find something to like among the bone marrow, pork belly, crab legs, oysters, shrimp and grits, made-to-order crêpes, and elaborate pastries. Some call the buffet overrated and overcrowded, but don't be put off by the naysayers—if you skip items that you could easily get at any Vegas buffet (such as pizzas from the wood-fired oven), you'll do well here. The staff does a first-rate job tending to everybody's needs. Beverage packages—offering two hours of mimosas, beer, margaritas, and more—are available.

The Wynn prides itself on doing everything bigger and better than others in town, so the fact that fans rave about this buffet is no surprise. The place boasts 16 \"food kitchens\" (or live-action cooking stations), with such specialties as eggs Benedict or Latin food. There are 90 choices in all, some of them made to order and including vegetarian and vegan selections. Dinner has an emphasis on seafood, including Dungeness crab, snow crab legs, sushi, oysters, clams, shrimp, and pan roasts, but meat selections may include prime rib, brisket, strip loin, steamship round, tri-tip, ham, and roasted duck. The dessert table, with highlights including crêpes and crème brûlée, never disappoints. Upgrade to the Ultimate Buffet Experience to get a 1.5-pound lobster served to your table, or indulge in the Unlimited Pour Package for unlimited wine, beer, or cocktails.

This Flamingo restaurant honors the resort's founders, notorious mobsters Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky, in a fun way, with a “hidden” entry that looks like a bakery. Inside, you’ll find decor that evokes the 1940s and a classic steakhouse menu: crab cakes, truffle beef carpaccio, lobster bisque, and onion soup are among the starters, and the menu of wet and dry-aged steaks is augmented by seafood, lamb chops, and short ribs. There also are seasonal three-course prix-fixe menus. As for cocktails, many of them are suitably mobster-themed. The tucked-away, speakeasy-style Count Room has its own menu of vintage cocktails.

This East Coast transplant with locations all over the Valley satisfies Sin City's cravings for giant sub sandwiches, including a Philly-style cheese steak, a hot pastrami sandwich, and a divine creation called the Bobbie—basically Thanksgiving dinner on a bun. Numerous locations around town include outposts in a few outlying casinos, such as Red Rock, Santa Fe, and Green Valley Ranch.

Wolfgang Puck adds to his stable of Las Vegas restaurants with this Italian restaurant he has dedicated to his mother. With modern decor that utilizes some Renaissance styles, the restaurant celebrates the tradition of fine Italian cooking in such dishes such as grilled Spanish octopus with a tomato emulsion and purple potatoes, and grilled whole Branzino, not to mention a wide range of pastas and pizzas. Fresh black truffles are available on several dishes, and there’s a salumi bar, a selection of antipasti, as well as steaks and seafood. 

Dine on the fairyland patio or inside, behind a wall of windows, in view of gardens in and out. The menu does, as you might expect, lean heavily to steaks, including domestic and imported wagyu, but there’s also a good variety of seafood, including a raw bar. Start with the \"Everything Spiced\" brioche or caviar poppers and move on to lobster en croute or black cod with oyster mushrooms. There are special themed headliner menus, a prix-fixe three-course pre-show menu, and a vegan menu. No guests younger than 18 are allowed on Fridays and Saturdays.

Fine-dining Mexican restaurants aren’t common on the Strip, and this one, which specializes in coastal cuisine, is special and also especially good. The menu emphasizes seafood, with starters including West Coast oysters with prickly pear mandarin mignonette, and Mexican blue shrimp ceviche. Dungeness crab esquites is a corn salad with huitlacoche and cotija cheese, and lamb birria comes with roasted salsa verde. Dishes for the table—such as pork belly with roasted baby pineapple, or whole snapper tempura—are served with fresh tortillas and salsas. A late-night menu is available in the lounge beginning at 10:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

The excitement from Philadelphia-native locals and visitors surrounding this Sahara spot is palpable, largely because of its legendary (and reportedly addictive) crab fries—french fries with crab seasoning, also available topped with actual crab or lobster (or try the Crabby Sweets, a sweet-potato version). There’s plenty more on this sports-bar menu, though, including four varieties of Philly cheesesteaks, warm or chilled lobster rolls, an impressive variety of other seafood, burgers, sandwiches, salads, pizza, and more. The late-night menu, served at the bar from 10 pm to midnight daily, is brief, but all the favorites are on it.

It has a famous forebear known for a cocktail—Harry’s Bar in Venice, where the Bellini was created by Giuseppe Cipriani Sr. in 1948—but this intimate spot tucked away among the Wynn Plaza Shops, near the main gate, is worth seeking out for the food, too. Try a signature dish like steak tartare or carpaccio “alla Cipriani,” seafood or lamb chops from the Josper grill, or calves’ liver with fried polenta. Or splurge on the 28-ounce grilled wagyu tomahawk. 

This pub serves up some of the best comfort food Vegas has to offer, including a great \"Hangry\" burger and Baja fish tacos. A convenient space between the hotel and convention center, it's lively and casual but can sometimes get loud during peak hours. Citizens, as it's known, also offers a mélange of side dishes and signature cocktails. Try the chocolate stout milkshake or a maple bacon coffee cocktail.

Fried-chicken sandwiches are all the rage now, but this is the OG, having started back in San Diego in 2015. This more recent outpost in The Park, between New York–New York and Park MGM, serves the brand’s nearly irresistible sandwiches, such as the \"Coop Deville\" (chicken breast with pickled Fresno chiles, lime mayo, and Napa cabbage on brioche), and the \"Cali Drip\" (pollo asado piled with fries, chipotle-bacon mayo, pickled onions, jalapeños, and melty Oaxacan queso on a crunchy torta roll). Whole fried chickens in half or whole birds, sides including fries and Mexican poutine, and bowls and meals fill out the flock.

The first (and so far only) fully plant-based fine-dining restaurant on the Strip, from ground-breaker Tal Ronnen, is a haven for vegans and vegetarians as well as those who want to eat healthful Italian/Mediterranean cuisine (and eat well). The \"short-rib\" tart served here is made with lion's mane mushrooms, while the lasagna Bolognese is made with Impossible meat. In addition to the à la carte menu, there are five- and seven-course tasting menus (hmm . . . truffles are vegan) as well as a nut-free menu. During happy hour, from 4 to 5:30 pm Monday through Thursday, small plates such as \"calmari\" fritti (made from hearts of palm) and \"caviar\" (made from kelp) and chips are $10.

The vibe at Resorts World is primarily refined and Asian, but at Dawg House you can cut loose Nashville-style. On the menu are such shareables as hot chicken bites, smoked Buffalo cauliflower, and bacon \"candy,\" but the menu also offers burgers (the Rottweiler has bacon jam, crispy onions, cheddar, and barbecue sauce), sandwiches (such as the Dawg House Club or pulled pork), salads, soups, and all manner of  “dawgs.” Shooters, specialty cocktails and a long—long—list of drafts and other beers complete the picture. An extension of a spot on Nashville's Music Row, it features live music and dancing and a relatively raucous atmosphere. Breakfast is also served from, 7 to 11 am daily.

This supper club in the Tower Suites at Wynn, where guests are advised to dress elegantly (no athletic apparel or flip-flops), evokes a more glamorous era in its decor and menu of classics with elevated twists. The Caesar salad is topped with king crab, the crispy potato pave is served with caviar, and the pigs in a blanket are made with wagyu franks. Beef Wellington for two is made with prime filet mignon and served with black truffle pomme puree, and there are steaks, seafood, and even a burger (though made with dry-aged Angus beef). Close your eyes, listen to the jazz singer, and you may just be transported to Las Vegas showrooms of the 1950s. A late-night menu is served after 11 pm.

Chef Emeril Lagasse gives a New Orleans touch to his big city–style steak house at The Venetian. Enter through 12-foot oak doors to find a sedately decorated, modern room in which to relax and enjoy your Strip View or Way Out Westward cocktail, each featuring one of Emeril's signature spirits, along with appetizers such as truffle and Parmesan potato chips; Lagasse's signature barbecue shrimp, served with a petite rosemary-buttermilk biscuit; or the Caesar salad, prepared table-side for two. Among the most popular entrées are the ample, tender cuts of beef, especially the prime boneless or bone-in rib eyes; and grilled buffalo rib eye with chimichurri sauce. And don't miss Emeril's banana cream pie with caramel sauce, chocolate shavings, and whipped cream.

Spiegelworld strikes again with this “friendly finer diner” that has been designed as a companion to the company’s new Discoshow. Diner Ross is suitably Spiegelworld-wacky, carrying out the 1970s disco theme with cocktails such as the Wallbanger and the LSD (\"Love Saves the Day\" . . . what did you think it was going to be?), which mixes gin, aquavit, and falernum with Earl Grey yogurt. To carry out the theme, the food includes a \"dirty martini\" salad (with bibb lettuce and green olives) and green goddess wedge, as well as steaks, buffalo chicken schnitzel, steelhead trout, and burgers. Don’t miss the \"disco fries\" with cheese, gravy, and caramelized onions.

Dominique Ansel may have found fame as the creator of the \"cronut\" and the chocolate-chip-cookie shot, but he proves he has far more to offer in this new boite at Paris Las Vegas. All of his bakery favorites are served here, of course, including fine pastries, crêpes, and fruit tarts. But Ansel carries out the French sidewalk-café spirit of this place by adding such savory choices as rotisserie chicken, turkey, and porchetta, in addition to sandwiches, salads, flatbreads, and more

Don’s Prime (one of two steak house options at the Fontainebleau) is steakhouse-y cozy, with dark upholstery and accents and bold graphics on the walls. Prime cuts are by Pat LaFrieda and include a dry-aged Porterhouse and two sizes of filet mignon; Japanese and American wagyu also are available. Other selections include tableside sole Meuniere, dry-aged branzino, lamb, chicken, and seafood. An indulgent side is the King crab loaded potato—with caviar, if you wish.

You'll forget you're in Las Vegas after a few minutes in this relaxed and unpretentious Downtown cantina. All the combinations and specials are good, but the best play here is to order the house-made tamales. There are five tamale options in all: pork, chicken, beef, cheese, and a sweet dessert tamale with pineapple and raisins. You also won't go wrong with the Mexican sandwich, served with guacamole, tomatoes, and fries. Stop in on a Wednesday night, and you might see a crowd gathered for the fútbol game on satellite-provided Mexican TV. There is another area location at 3250 North Tenaya Way in Summerlin.

This Paris Las Vegas restaurant is a room with a view, though you'll pay considerably more for a few of the Fountains at Bellagio, directly across the street. Guests are often pleasantly surprised that the food here measures up to the setting: the French-accented menu usually includes appetizers of cold foie gras torchon with duck prosciutto. On the entrée list, you might find individual Eiffel Tower beef Wellingtons, herb-crusted rack of lamb with truffle bread pudding, and vegetarian dishes such Parisian crepe with sauteed greens and wild mushrooms. The restaurant also offers a variety of caviar priced by the ounce. Brunch is served from Friday through Sunday. The restaurant is about a third of the way up the hotel's half-scale Eiffel Tower replica, with vistas from all four glassed-in sides, so even if you don't want the higher-priced seats, you will get a view.  

Every day is Día de los Muertos at this chic, skull-festooned cantina in Tivoli Village, where a pair of brightly colored calacas guard the entryway. Once inside, prepare to encounter a different kind of spirit: namely, a vast selection of tequila, with more than 100 varieties available in this eye-popping, high-end Mexican eatery. The menu is as inviting as the rose-covered walls, ranging from gourmet filet mignon tacos to lobster fajitas to signatures like their cedar chipotle salmon. Brunch is served all day, with bottomless bloody Marys and mimosas available to properly lubricate the festivities. The focus here is on using organic and non-GMO ingredients made fresh daily, meaning there's not a microwave in the house.

Inside Downtown's bohemian temple, the Emergency Arts Building, this restaurant features what they call a \"scratch kitchen concept.\" It may sound rather pot-lucky, but this isn't the standard chain-food menu (despite being part of a California-based chain). How does this sound: skirt steak with broccolini, red chimichurri, chili flakes, Parmesan, and lemon zest; a cowboy burger nearly tipping over with shoestring onions, bacon, cheddar cheese, and a beer barbecue sauce; and a bourbon barrel cake. That's just for starters. For imbibing purposes, sample the local craft beers, small-batch whiskeys, and classic cocktails. And don't miss the daily \"Hoppy Hour.\"

Food halls have replaced buffets in several Las Vegas casino-resorts, but nobody does it as well as Resorts World, which has one with more than a dozen mini-restaurants and even a pour-it-yourself bar. Famous Foods is inspired by the street markets of Southeast Asia, and the cuisine skews in that direction, with dumplings, hand-pulled noodles, clay-pot rice, ramen, sushi, and sashimi among the main offerings. But you’ll also find fish and chips, Mediterranean foods, Texas barbecue, and Marcus Samuelsson’s Nashville-style hot chicken.

Like time-traveling to Vegas’s vintage days when upscale restaurants were quiet and atmospheric, venerable Ferraro’s features a dark and decidedly romantic dining room with candles on every table, and a pricey menu stocked with steaks, fresh-made pastas, and Mediterranean-style seafood. Around since 1985 and in this location since 2009, this fine Italian eatery offers a cheaper happy hour of small plates nightly from 5 to 7 pm and bigger feasts throughout the evening. Among the popular entrées not found at most Italian restaurants are the popular stewed rabbit with mushrooms served over polenta, and tripe served in a spicy tomato sauce. And you can’t beat the signature veal osso buco.
