200 Best Restaurants in Nevada, USA

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).

This dependable if not fabulous Italian family restaurant serves a dozen pasta dishes, many pizzas, and chicken, veal, shrimp, and beef entrées. All dinners include soup or salad and garlic bread, making Azzara's a pretty good value.

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.

Across from the Truckee River, this Reno favorite serves earthy, country-style French food—escargots, cassoulet, steak frites with red wine sauce, sweetbreads with Madeira, and fish and vegetarian selections—with zero pretension. Wooden floors, large windows, and brick walls with a fireplace create a welcoming and intimate atmosphere.

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.

Chocolate—dark, white, and milk—flows from a tall glass fountain at the entrance of this stunning pastry shop just off the Bellagio's famed conservatory. This artful homage to chocolate has decadent desserts, including cakes, cookies, macarons, gelato, hand-dipped chocolate candies, and particularly memorable crêpes (try the one with Nutella sauce inside and out, candied hazelnuts, and whipped cream), as well as salads and sandwiches Seating is limited. It's open late, until 10 pm daily.

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.

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.

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.

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.
