33 Best Restaurants in Center Strip, Las Vegas

On the top floor of the towering atrium at the Strip entrance to The Forum Shops, Roku occupies an airy dining room lined with bamboo stalks and tall windows facing the Strip. Sushi is the main draw, but there's much more. You can't go wrong with the fluke kumquat with yuzu vinaigrette, or the White Lotus roll with popcorn shrimp tempura, avocado, and asparagus. But greater rewards come to those who venture deeper into the extensive menu. Feel like indulging? Go for the Roku Izakaya Feast for two.

In Las Vegas nothing succeeds like success, so it was no surprise when Caesars International announced a sister for the wildly successful Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace. Lisa Vanderpump's spot at Paris Las Vegas has somewhat more of an emphasis on food, with dishes like caviar bites, a trio of tartares, the truffle stuffed Vanderpump baguette, coq au vin pot pie, bourguignon pot pie, and a cast-iron filet with pink (of course!) peppercorn reduction. The desserts may carry the heaviest French accent, with creme brulee beignets and mousse au chocolat bites. Cocktails include shots, spritzes, and all the classics, and Vanderpump signatures like "Pump & Circumstance" (a pear and ginger mule) and "Pinky’s Poison" (a hibiscus gin and tonic).

The California-based King’s Seafood Co. brings its briny bounty to Las Vegas's Water Grill with a menu that includes many things you won’t find just anywhere. That might mean live California spiny lobster, Florida stone crab claws, Dungeness crab, live Alaskan halibut, or more than a dozen varieties of lobster—all in season, of course. Starters may range from classic clam chowder to mussels garbanzo with pancetta and harissa. Crustaceans and char-grilled or oven-roasted whole fish are sold by the pound, and there are sushi, raw bar, and chilled-shellfish menus, along with soups, salads, and a kids' menu.
