66 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas, Nevada

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Las Vegas is one of America's hottest restaurant markets. Nearly every big Strip property has at least one and often two or more celebrity-chef restaurants. Away from the Strip, the unprecedented population growth in the city's suburbs has brought with it a separate and continuous wave of new eateries, both familiar chains and increasing numbers of legitimate destination restaurants.

Casino-resort dining basically falls into one of three categories. In the top echelon are the properties that have a half dozen or more bona fide star-status restaurants: Aria, Bellagio, Caesars, The Cosmopolitan, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, Venetian/Palazzo, and Wynn/Encore. At the next level are those resorts with one or two stellar restaurants and a smaller range of worthwhile but not quite top-of-the-line options. On the Strip, these include The Cromwell, Mandarin Oriental, Mirage, Monte Carlo, New York–New York, Paris, Planet Hollywood, SLS Las Vegas, and Treasure Island. Off the Strip, you can add the Lucky Dragon, Palms, the Hard Rock, M Resort, The Rio All-Suite Hotel, Green Valley Ranch, the JW Marriott, and Red Rock Resort. Then there's everybody else: casino-resorts with maybe a decent eatery or two but that simply aren't known for great food.

Downtown Las Vegas has seen a big revitalization in the past several years, and that extends to restaurants. Although Downtown still lacks a destination restaurant, notable spots are Carson Kitchen, Therapy, Turmeric, Le Thai, and La Comida in Fremont East; and Pizza Rock and the older Triple George Grill in the Downtown 3rd District. There also are a number of good restaurants in the Downtown Container Park.

Outside the tourism corridor, Las Vegas has a number of marquee restaurants with increasing cachet among foodies from out of town—places such as Todd’s Unique Dining, Marché Bacchus, Nora's Italian Cuisine, and Lotus of Siam. There's great food to be had off the beaten path in Las Vegas, and you'll pay a lot less in these areas, too.

If you haven't been to Vegas in a few years, you'll notice some major changes. Names like Wolfgang Puck, Michael Mina, and Emeril Lagasse still have plenty of pull in this town, but the Vegas chefs commanding the most attention are French imports such as Pierre Gagnaire, Joël Robuchon, and Guy Savoy, along with vaunted U.S. chefs like Giada De Laurentiis, Charlie Palmer, and Mario Batali.

There's also a trend toward high-minded restaurants with exclusive-nightclub vibes. Note the success of see-and-be-seen Pan-Asian hot spot Hakkasan and Tao Asian Bistro & Nightclub, the youthful late-night haunts LAVO and FIX, and bordello-chic establishments such as Strip House—to name just a few. Elsewhere in town, Las Vegas's growing international—and especially Asian—population has created a market for some of the best Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Pan-Asian restaurants in the country.

Genting Palace

$$$$ | North Strip

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.

Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill

$$$$ | Center Strip

Three things stand out at this comfortable, casual restaurant, conceptualized by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey: the libations, the cheery across-the-pond ambience, and the elevated British pub grub. Cocktails have names like "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Boston's Inferno," or you can slake your thirst with a Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale. Hum along with classic Brit pop and rock tunes and watch football—soccer, to us Americans—on any of the numerous flat-screen tellies. Seating is easy on the bum, the place settings rich and rustic. Start with beef carpaccio or a jumbo lump crab cake. The beef Wellington, braised short rib and cabbage, crispy-skin salmon, oak-grilled meats, and mac and cheese are standouts. Warm sticky toffee pudding has fans aplenty. A four-course tasting menu and three-course menu are other options.

Gordon Ramsay Steak

$$$$ | Center Strip

Gordon Ramsay's heavily British-themed Las Vegas flagship bridges the geographic gap with a Chunnel-like entrance connecting it to Paris Las Vegas. It bridges the culinary gap with a wide variety of beef, including Japanese or American wagyu and prime beef. Shellfish, caviar, and luxe entrées like roasted beef Wellington are joined by a milk-fed veal chop or rack of lamb. The four-course tasting menu is a tour of Ramsay's signature items.

Hank's Fine Steaks

$$$$

Start with a martini in the classy piano bar at this steak house at the much-loved Green Valley Ranch Resort (they're half-price during happy hour between 3:30 and 7). Then make your way into the ornately decorated dining room, with its marble floors and glittering chandeliers for a traditional Las Vegas steak-house dinner. Start off with the bountiful "Seafood Jackpot": a platter of Maine lobster, jumbo shrimp, oysters, lump crab, and king crab. Hefty 28-day-aged steaks are prepared in an 800°F mesquite charcoal broiler—try the 20-ounce bone-in New York strip. Dishes including Chateaubriand for two provide a cozy Old Vegas feel.

Harvest

$$$$ | Center Strip

It's no easy feat coming up with a restaurant in Las Vegas that offers more than just a gimmicky theme or celebrity-chef pedigree. Harvest, a casual but cosmopolitan spot that's secluded from Bellagio's noisy gaming areas, succeeds by presenting a locally sourced, sustainable menu with a healthful tilt. The granite and wood walls and soothing waterfalls provide a suitably soothing backdrop to the seasonal menus, which might include roasted half-chicken brined in local ale and rotisserie hay-smoked, stone-oven-roasted lobster with creamy garlic and rosemary butter, or roasted tandoori vegetables with saffron basmati rice. Quench your thirst with a classic Boulevardier or lychee martini. Happy hour's from 5 to 6 pm daily.

Ito

$$$$ | North Strip

If you want your Japanese experience to be an exclusive one, this intimate, 12-seater on the Fontainebleau’s top floor is strictly omakase, offering a 17-course mostly sushi menu limited to two seatings each evening at 6 and 8:45. Fish is flown in daily from Japan, and a traceability certificate is posted to let you know where in Japan it and your beef originated. Cocktails are both free-ranging and creative, such as the Yumei, a delicious mix of mezcal, Aperol, Luxardo maraschino, lime juice, and yuzu.

Jean-Georges Steakhouse at ARIA

$$$$ | Center Strip

This steak house, from famed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, delivers a modern spin on the traditional meat and potatoes in dishes such as the soy-glazed short rib with apple-jalapeno puree. But this is a serious beef room, with both Japanese A5 and F1 cuts, prime, American Wagyu, and certified Piedmontese steaks, with optional accompaniments of bone marrow, Hudson Valley foie gras, or jumbo prawns. You can get a 36-ounce prime Porterhouse or a wagyu tomahawk ribeye, either carved tableside. Slow-cooked halibut and Chilean sea bass with miso-yuzu glaze are among other choices, along with a raw bar (including caviar) and a long list of sides. During busy weekends, look for pros on break from the nearby poker room; "J.G.," as it's known, has reportedly become one of the favorites of several well-known players.

Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab

$$$$ | Center Strip

Drop by this bustling branch of the famed South Miami Beach restaurant for, at the very least, a pile of fresh stone crabs and a beer. But Joe's is worth a try whether for a full meal or a snack to remember. (And the stone crabs are available here year-round, unlike at the flagship location.) There are gluten-free/vegetarian, kids' and carryout menus as well. Carnivores won't go hungry here, considering the leviathan bone-in rib eye or double-cut Colorado lamb chops, and there's a bar-food selection of burgers and sandwiches. For dessert, save room for Key lime pie or banana-cream pie with Foster sauce.

Lago

$$$$ | Center Strip

Although chef Julian Serrano has stepped away from this lakeside Italian restaurant, the tradition continues. The emphasis is on seafood, with starter choices such as oysters with tangerine mignonette, hamachi or salmon crudo, and scallops and prawns with saffron fregola. Pizzettas include one with fresh black truffle, guanciale, and truffle cheese. Pasta dishes range from good ol' spaghetti and meatballs to gnocchi with wild boar sausage, and entrées include a mixed seafood grill, osso buco, steaks, and chicken.

Le Cirque

$$$$ | Center Strip

This sumptuous restaurant, a branch of the now closed New York City landmark, remains one of the city's true temples of haute cuisine, despite increased heavy-hitting competition. The mahogany-lined room is all the more opulent for its small size: in a city of mega-everything, Le Cirque seats only 80 under its draped silk-tent ceiling. Even with a view of the hotel's lake and its mesmerizing fountain show, you'll only have eyes for your plate when your server presents dishes like pan-seared foie gras with roasted figs and crossaint pudding, California rabbit with English peas, or whole roasted Dover sole with caviar. Eight-course, four-course, vegetarian, and three-course theater menus are available.

Marrakech Mediterranean Restaurant

$$$$ | Paradise Road

Feel like a pampered pasha as belly dancers shake it up in a cozy Middle Eastern–style "tent" with a fabric-covered ceiling and eye-catching mosaics. The prix-fixe feast is a six-course affair that includes Moroccan-spiced shrimp scampi, a vegetable sampler, lentil soup, beef kabob, chicken with couscous and vegetables, and the tasty dessert b'stilla, which is baked phyllo dough layered with fruit. Moroccan and Lebanese wines flow freely in this upbeat spot, where servers wear Moroccan robes and generations of visitors have been invited to join the belly dancers if they feel the urge. Factor in the short walking distance to convention facilities, and it's no mystery why this has become one of Las Vegas' longest-tenured restaurants (though, in a young city, that means 1979). A significant remodel has kept the restaurant in its time-honored location but with welcome upgrades.

Mastro's Ocean Club

$$$$ | Center Strip

In addition to food that is upscale and delicious, this impressive restaurant is known for the "Tree House," a two-story wooden sculpture that rises from the ground level and houses the main dining room 30 feet up. Menu items range from Bering Sea king crab claws or legs and bigeye tuna tartare to 32- or 40-ounce Australian wagyu tomahawk chops, Japanese A5 wagyu, rack of lamb, and filet mignon. Side dishes tend to be predictable, except for the wild mushroom and black truffle gnocchi, and the lobster mashed potatoes. The signature warm butter cake alone warrants repeat visits.

Michael’s Gourmet Room

$$$$ | South Strip

Michael’s has long had the somewhat dubious distinction of being arguably the most expensive restaurant in Las Vegas; suffice it to say South Point owner Michael Gaughan knows how to treat his high rollers. That ladies’ menus don’t have prices (and you’ll have to hunt long, and probably in vain, to find them online) feels like more of a throwback than a misogynistic move. And throwbacks are what this menu is all about, with dishes like coquilles St. Jacques and shrimp, lobster, or lump crab cocktail to start, plus entrées of Chateaubriand, Dover sole, veal saltimbocca, and prime steaks. Service and decor are definitely on the elegant side. No children younger than 12 are allowed.

Mother Wolf

$$$$ | North Strip

James Beard nominee and former Spago sous chef Evan Funke has brought his pasta prowess to Las Vegas with this sister restaurant to the locations in Hollywood and Miami. The busy and lively atmosphere matches the energetic level of his Roman-style cuisine. Funke puts a spin on the traditional; his funghi pizza has both wild and cultivated mushrooms, scamorza, taleggio, and parmigiano reggiano. Starters include squash blossoms with ricotta romana; main courses include Australian rib chops with peperonata salsa verde, and a grilled whole branzino for the table.

Mr Chow

$$$$ | Center Strip

It was a long time coming, but the venerable celebrity magnet Mr Chow finally established a beachhead at Caesars Palace, and it's acquired a following of its own. On the second floor overlooking the Garden of the Gods pool complex, the predominantly white restaurant is centered on a circular suspended "kinetic sculpture" that periodically descends and opens itself to the room. All the favorites are here, including the famous green prawns, plus Mr. Chow noodles and drunken fish. Las Vegas being an Asian magnet, there's a Chinese menu as well. There also are three "semi"-prix-fixe options. Don't miss the champagne trolley as it makes its way around the room.

One Steakhouse

$$$$

Brothers David and Michael Morton, restaurateurs whose father founded the Morton's The Steakhouse chain back in the day, maintain the tradition at the new Virgin Hotels. This one is quite a bit different than their MB Steak, dividing its seating between the front bar with a bit of a retro vibe and its rear dining room. The former is a little more casual—opening to the casino floor and punctuated with video screens—yet in a way more gorgeous, thanks to a giant acrylic lighting sculpture overhead, which changes colors every so often. The menu still offers more than a half-dozen beef choices including wagyu, as well as the 32-ounce tomahawk or double porterhouse steaks for two. Roast chicken, scallops, or Alaskan king crab pasta are options for the non-beef eaters.

Peter Luger Steak House

$$$$ | Center Strip

The venerable New York steakhouse, which dates to 1887, launched its first American location outside of New York with this spot with lots of windows and a dramatic arched ceiling. The legendarily gruff waiters are back in the Big Apple, but the on-site dry-aged prime steaks are here—for two, three, or four people. Double-thick lamb chops are another option, and whole sole is boned tableside. For lunch, indulge in a half-pound-plus Luger Burger, or take a lighter approach with sliced tomatoes and onions with Luger’s Own Sauce, both also available as part of the three-course prix-fixe Luger Power Lunch, available Wednesday through Friday and Sunday.

Petrossian Bar

This elegant bar with dark-wood paneling and a baby grand piano sits just off Bellagio's lobby, near the famous Dale Chihuly glass ceiling. The best time to visit for cocktails is during the lavish afternoon tea, held daily from 1 to 4 pm. At other times, sample fine cheeses, smoked salmon, and several different kinds of caviar. Live piano music is provided hourly.

Piero's Italian Cuisine

$$$$ | East Side

Las Vegas has very few restaurants left from the early 1980s, and none with the legend of Piero's. Located just across the street from the convention center for all but five of those years, Piero's is a blend of "expense account joint" and a classic Vegas mecca for those fascinated by the bygone mob era, having hosted the actual characters depicted in Casino and later serving as a filming site for the movie itself. Little set decoration was needed in the meandering restaurant full of nooks and crannies, low ceilings, and dark paneling with two bars serving giant martinis in the middle of the action. And, oh yes, there's food: The basics are done with detail and served on huge platters, from the osso buco (off menu but usually a special) to pastas such as the "Sunday Gravy" (rigatoni with both meatballs and Italian sausage).

Prime Steakhouse

$$$$ | Center Strip

Even among celebrity chefs, Jean-Georges Vongerichten has established a "can't touch this" reputation. Prime—with its gorgeous view of the fountains—is a place to see and be seen at Bellagio. The restaurant, which was renovated in early 2025, sets a living-room vibe from the marble-framed entrance, with accents of carved glass and 1940s Parisian sconces. The reimagined menu still focuses on steak, of course, but also has an extensive raw bar and offers briny choices such as a seafood plateau and Chilean sea bass. Land-based dishes also include the likes of truffled barbecued short rib and Parmesan-crusted chicken.

Rivea

$$$$ | South Strip

Culinary lion Alain Ducasse replaced his renowned Mix with the equally stunning Rivea, offering unparalleled views of the Strip and Riviera-style interpretations of his cuisine from the 64th floor of the W Las Vegas. It's suitably more casual fare, with options like paccheri pasta with braised short rib, and sautéed calamari and prawns with baby artichokes and radishes. Traditionalists will find comfort in dishes such as pepper-crusted bison tenderloin, or Alaskan wild halibut with braised Belgian endive. The five-course tasting menu includes a chef's-inspiration risotto. Try one of Ducasse's famous babas for dessert, but with a limoncello twist.

RPM Italian

$$$$ | Center Strip

This offshoot of the Chicago originalfrom celebrity couple Giuliana and Bill Rancic and Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises siblings R. J., Jerrod, and Molly Melmanhas a modern-Italian mission, which is reflected in its sleek, sophisticated decor. The Vegas-classic starters of steak tartare and beef carpaccio are joined by the more creative Maine lobster caprese and bluefin tuna crudo. The expected pastas are joined by one with spicy king crab, and a selection of steaks and chops, seafood, and Italian classics round out the menu. There's a three-course lunch prix fixe menu on weekdays and kids' and gluten-free menus. Happy hour from 3 to 6 pm weekdays offers discounted cocktails, wines, and small bites.

Sinatra

$$$$ | North Strip

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.

The Steak House

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.

Strip House

$$$$ | Center Strip

This lavish but cheeky steak joint, an off-shoot of the New York City original, wears its bordello-chic atmosphere with a healthy touch of irony. The red-flocked wallpaper and other decor may suggest that you're inside an early-20th-century house of ill repute, but the menu of artfully presented chops and classic American food reflects a highly skilled, contemporary kitchen. Appetizers such as roasted bacon with pickled cucumber and lobster bisque are indulgent starters. A broad variety of steaks includes 20-ounce bone-in or 14-ounce dry-aged rib eyes, as well as filets and New York strips, but you can also order miso sea bass or crispy organic chicken and will be just as satisfied. The 24-layer chocolate cake makes for a fittingly decadent end to your meal.

StripSteak

$$$$ | South Strip

The butter finish that makes restaurant steaks so delectable is done with a particularly artistic flair at StripSteak, where James Beard Award–winning chef Michael Mina puts his modern touches on the traditional steak house with a wood-burning grill and butter-poaching method turning out numerous cuts of beef every night. The menu includes several large-format choices, such as a 36-ounce dry-aged Porterhouse or a 40-ounce tomahawk, either of which will serve two (or more), plus more manageable sizes and several Japanese A-5 wagyu cuts. Or try something classically Mina-quirky, such as the 16-ounce duck-fat prime rib with blue cheese popover and fresh horseradish, or a caviar jelly doughnut. There's an extensive raw bar, seafood towers, a trolley with liquid desserts, as well as a three-course tasting menu that touches on the chef's Egyptian roots.

Sushi Roku

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.

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.

T-Bones Chophouse & Lounge

$$$$ | Summerlin South

Well-dressed local professionals are drawn in by the striking slabs of dragon onyx guarding the entrance to this upscale steak house inside Red Rock Casino. It's the perfect spot for a romantic or celebratory meal, especially since live music enhances the ambience at night. During the social hour from 4 to 6 pm Sunday through Thursday, half-price martinis and bar snacks such as the French lobster rolls or the ahi tuna tacos are served on the cheap. Much pricier, however, is the à la carte dinner served in the seductive dining room. The menu features oversized dry- and wet-aged prime steaks, seafood, and poultry, and Old Vegas–style dishes including chateaubriand.
