41 Best Restaurants in North Strip, Las Vegas

Take a break from shopping and step into this dimly lighted restaurant and lounge that's part of a growing chain with a menu of both sushi and cooked entrées. Delicious sushi rolls might include the Gojira (with shrimp tempura, krab mix, cream cheese, and cucumber) or the Crazy Monkey (stuffed with smoked salmon, mango, and cream cheese and topped with avocado, red tempura bits, cashews, and sweet eel sauce). Heartier fare includes chicken, shrimp, or steak yakisoba, and chicken katsu with Asian cole slaw. The happy hour specials here are popular with the locals. Late-night noshers appreciate that it's open until midnight, until 1 am on Friday and Saturday.

Encore recalls the panache of vintage Vegas by dedicating one of its fine-dining venues to Frank Sinatra. Expect simple, elegantly presented Italian cuisine, such asd risotto with lobster, and ossobuco "My Way." Framed photos of Ol' Blue Eyes (as well as his Academy Award for From Here to Eternity) adorn the ivory-and-ruby-hue indoor dining room. The legendary crooner's music plays softly while well-dressed guests nibble their antipasto next to the fireplace on the outdoor patio. Some just pull up a seat at the swank bar to order a cocktail or postprandial limoncello or grappa. Go ahead and imbibe!—Frankie would approve. A "living well" menu is available. Kids under 5 are not allowed.

The generic name and less-than-glamorous location mean this one tends to fly under the radar, but The Steak House has long been beloved by locals and visitors who are in the know. Its elegant entrance opens onto a room with throwback decor, a glass-enclosed meat-aging room, and an exhibition-style mesquite charcoal broiler. On the menu you’ll find numerous steak cuts, including porterhouse, New York strip, and bone-in ribeye, as well as grilled seafood, lamb, and chicken.

Come to this trendy restaurant for its South American–influenced fresh sushi and sashimi, beautifully prepared and presented, with novel garnishes. Dim lighting, hip music, voluptuous decor, and excellent cocktails complement the exotic fusion of flavors from Japan, Brazil, and Peru. A variety of small plates and brightly seasoned raw seafood are served, as well as sizzling skewers of grilled meats, seafood, and vegetables. Try a side of purple-potato mash, coconut rice, or Peruvian corn with your tobanyaki or teriyaki, and be sure to save room for chocolate banana cake or dulce de leche Japanese doughnuts. Try Samba Hour from 3 to 6 pm Sunday to Friday at the bar. A kids' menu is available.

Isolated from the busier parts of Wynn, this bright, airy breakfast-and-brunch restaurant overlooks a serene pool and well-manicured garden off the gleaming Tower Suites lobby. For something lighter, try the steel-cut Irish oatmeal with golden raisins and almond milk, or sliced fruit with Greek yogurt. Or indulge in the short rib Benedict, French toast with apples and cream cheese mousse, or caramelized gnocchi with butternut squash. And be a sport: order the warm beignets with creme Anglaise for the table.

The tunneled vestibule of this nightclub-cum-bistro is lined with stone tubs filled with water and rose petals, leading patrons—including lots of celebrities—into the dim, lavishly decorated space. The pan-Asian menu is almost endless, with dishes from sushi to dim sum and everything in between, but most people come more for the experience than the food. Decor includes black cobblestones, bamboo, and Buddhas (one that's 20 feet tall is seated above a koi-filled pool). The quintessentially Asian decor complements the expertly prepared sushi and sashimi. Reserve a table early to enjoy dishes (Spring Mountain Roll with spicy crab and lobster, lobster wontons with shiitake ginger broth, Peking duck for two) in tranquility before loud, young crowds and thumping music descend from the nightclub upstairs. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available. 

Reserve a window-side table at twilight to see sunset melt into sparkling night while savoring updated Continental cuisine. From a height of 844 feet, the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows offer 360-degree views of the Vegas Valley as the entire 106th-floor dining room makes a complete revolution every 80 minutes. The jaw-dropping views are the big draw, but the food is not overshadowed with a menu featuring such dishes as pan-roasted sea bass with curried coconut and lime broth, a 22-ounce bone-in dry-aged prime ribeye, or rack of lamb with root-vegetable hash. Proposal packages also are available. Although it is generally quiet and romantic, the occasional bungee jumper hurtling past the windows from rooftop thrill rides provides some unexpected excitement. A stationary cocktail lounge for casual sipping is on the 107th floor.

The high-end, modern-Japanese restaurant offers six- and nine-course tasting menus, as well as a 9-course vegetarian version and a private experience in the omakase room Thursday through Saturday. If you’d rather control your own destiny, the myriad à la carte options include various types of sushi priced by the piece, as well as rolls and sashimi. Or choose foie gras, tempura, katsu, robatayaki, lamb, chicken, seasonal fish, and meats including Japanese A5 wagyu.  

This popular Southern California restaurant, wine bar, and retail store has a sprawling two-story presence in The District at Resorts World. At dinner, expect dishes finished with truffles from wherever in the world they’re in season, such as truffle Bolognese; baked brie with truffle honey, truffle butter, and shaved truffles; truffle gnocchi; or truffle pizza. Alternatively, choose from among the steaks or be tempted by grilled halibut or pork belly. From the all-day menu, choose a cheese or charcuterie plate from nearly two dozen selections. Try the wood-oven-roasted French toast with lemon whipped ricotta and caramelized peaches at brunch from 8 am to 3 pm daily. The shop carries 8,000 wine labels, plus spirits, beer, and food items from all over the world for taking along or consuming on-site.

Among the casual dining options at Fontainebleau is this whimsical (can you tell by the name?) restaurant offering a menu of dim sum and other Cantonese (and Asian) specialties. The decor is abstract and somewhat dramatic, designed to set the stage for your meal. The menu's "Hong Kong Chow" section includes a mixed barbecue plate with pork, duck, and chicken, and main dishes like Hainanese chicken, and Thai massaman curry. Dim sum merges the familiar (chicken feet) with the not-so-familiar (squash and pine nut dumplings), and the cocktails are creative. 

While the specialty here is fried chicken, if you are going here expecting a down-and-diner experience, you'll be disappointed; this is Southern, high-cotton style, though with a healthy sense of humor. The atmosphere is country-esque—rustic wood and brick with chicken-wire windows. At lunch you'll find choices such as the "YB Nashville Hot Sandwich," with Carolina reaper rub and spicy slaw, while the dinner menu tempts with "Baker's Bacon Bouquet" (chicken with spiced watermelon and a sharp cheddar waffle), or a bourbon-glazed short rib. Finish with a fried Oreo sundae or Key lime pie. At brunch from 9 am to 4 pm on weekends, try braised short rib huevos rancheros, or a fried green tomato BLT stack.
