200 Best Restaurants in Nevada, USA

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.

The Coffee Cup is a bustling breakfast-and-lunch diner that's been featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Tourists line up on weekends for the quintessential small-town diner experience, complete with newspaper-strewn counter seating and the owners' family photos and water-sports memorabilia on the walls. It delivers on the food front, too, with giant portions of favorites such as huevos rancheros, biscuits and gravy, and barbecue sandwiches.

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.

Locals and visitors alike were delighted when New York's cronut king set up shop in Las Vegas, at Caesars Palace across from The Colosseum. The shop serves Ansel's cronut creations as well as French pastries such as the best-seller kouign-amann, tiger-striped pain au chocolat, huge nutty almond croissants, macarons, Liege waffles, and canneles. Mini-madeleines are piped to order and served warm. Ansel's signature chocolate chip cookie shots and frozen s'mores are made while you wait, and there's even a Thousand Layered Hot Dog Roll. Creative, beautiful pastries like the Blueberry Muffin—blueberry mousse and blueberry gelee atop a citrus almond financier cake with fresh blueberries—are another specialty, and sandwiches are available. There are a few seats inside if you'd like to sit while indulging in a croque monsieur.

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.

Chef Emeril Lagasse's first restaurant in Las Vegas dates back to the opening of the MGM Grand, but it's still a popular choice and has been periodically updated. The menu still puts the spotlight on the chef's Creole-inspired cuisine, such as barbecued shrimp, Louisiana-style jambalaya, and oysters on the half shell with cucumber and seaweed mignonette. Sides like herbed crispy potatoes, creamy Anson Mills grits, and sautéed local mushrooms provide hearty accompaniments for a prime ribeye steak or whole Mediterranean sea bass for two. The central bar is great for a glass of white with Emeril's barbecued shrimp or Creole jumbo shrimp remoulade at lunch. Be sure to finish with a slice of banana cream pie or chocolate bread and butter bread pudding.

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.

As the name suggests, this bistro focuses on small plates that encourage sharing and camaraderie, especially when it's the daily happy hour and/or paired with Firefly's signature sangrias or mojitos, both available by the glass or pitcher. The rough rule of thumb is for each person to order two plates, drawn from four categories: Chilled, Hot, Seafood, or Meat & Poultry. The range of choices is head-spinning, from beet salad and stuffed dates to empanadas, steamed mussels, and even manchego mac & cheese. In 2023, the original location moved a mile or so to a larger building (which some may remember as McCormick & Schmick's) on the edge of the Hughes Center office park. The atmosphere is completely different: plenty of windows and light paint replacing the dark and romantic, folk-art plastered original. There is also a second Firefly in Southwest Las Vegas (7355 S. Buffalo Drive).

Old-timers will recognize the building as a vintage Taco Bell, but for years it has been the grounded location of a popular food truck. The burgers have that adventurous food-truck flair, and all come with one modest, uniform price, they're topped with fusion combinations such as wasabi mayo and pickled red ginger. A lively little place (open until 1 am), it's adorned with Japanese pop-art, and seems to sell as much beer as soft drinks. There's another location in the Southwest part of town (7365 Buffalo Dr.).

This is maybe the best example of a Las Vegas adage, \"Never judge a place by its ugly strip-mall facade.\" In a shopping center you'd usually drive by lies a coffee and tea house that's about as beautiful as they come. An indoor greenhouse covers the central kitchen area, amid a well-appointed warehouse feel with plants, art, and cozy seating and a singular three-tiered reading and browsing area (shoes off, please) in back. The coffee's first rate as well, and it's not unusual for customers to take way too long to ogle the display case of delicious-looking pastries or read the full menu of specialty-drink temptations. There's a soup, sandwich, and quiche menu for those who want to extend a coffee break into a meal. Gäbi now has a second location in Henderson (136 N. Stephanie St.).

This credible remake of the famed 1927 Manhattan original offers an old-school carnivore experience inside the cleverly decorated New York–New York casino. The convivial tavern's walls are lined with black-and-white photos of sports stars, actors, and politicos, and the hardwood floors and tray ceilings transport guests directly to Gotham. You can admire the aged steaks in a big cooler visible from the cobblestone promenade near the entrance. The menu's refreshingly simple: pick your main dish (center-cut filet mignon, bison ribeye, and so on) and maybe add one of the six sauces (béarnaise, brandied peppercorn, blue cheese, among others) to accompany it.

You’ll know you’ve arrived at Resorts World’s premier Chinese restaurant simply from the elegant, elaborate entry of dark wood with green accents. Inside, there’s a decidedly contemporary feel and a wide-ranging menu of such traditional delicacies as bird’s nest soup and Peking duck but also plenty of vegetarian options, including crispy vegan spring rolls. The extensive menu includes dim sum, barbecue (including pork belly and duck), and live seafood in various preparations, plus poultry, pork, and beef. The five-course tasting menu has such dishes as chilled duck salad with black truffle sauce. There's also an all-you-can-eat Cantonese seafood buffet option.

The first restaurant from TV personality and classically trained chef Giada De Laurentiis sits on a prime piece of real estate at the intersection of the Strip and Flamingo Road. The wide expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows provides commanding views, and the food's pretty impressive, too. Try the polenta waffle or a selection of pastries for brunch Friday through Sunday. At dinner, start with the signature bread board or orzo meatballs and move on to pappardelle with San Marzano braised pork or cacio e pepe bucatini served in a warm wheel of Pecorino Toscano. The chef has a much more casual spot, Pronto, at Caesars Palace.

Since Gordon Ramsay's been known to flame a contestant or two, it's only fitting that his burgers are cooked over a hardwood fire. Consider the Hell's Kitchen Burger, with asadero cheese, roasted jalapeños, and roasted tomatoes; or the Farmhouse Burger, with Dubliner cheese, bacon, and a fried egg. Salads include the \"hellfire\" chicken, and sides run to truffle Parmesan fries and beer-battered onion rings. Dig into one of Ramsay's rich desserts, or sip a cocktail while enjoying the roaring fire. There's another location at the Flamingo.
