66 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas, Nevada

This steakhouse, in an elegant room with an actual window, is named for the Old Las Vegas neighborhood occupied by the city's power elite. The atmosphere is contemporary but white-tablecloth restrained, and the menu's as beef-centric as you would expect, with steaks from a wood-fired grill on both a standard and sub-menu dedicated to wagyu options. The departures are in the Filipino touches given some dishes, such as the raw bar's tiradito, by chef Marty Red DeLeon Lopez. Showier highlights include a mesquite-fired crustacean tower in two sizes, traditional caviar service, and, of course, an extensive Scotch program. There's a "social hour" from 5 to 7 pm Mondays through Thursdays offering discounts on select entrees as well as cocktails and appetizers.

Chef Barry Dakake made a name for himself in this town with his work at N9NE Steakhouse inside the Palms (back when the Palms was at the forefront of cool). This new eponymous restaurant, on the lowest level of Circa Las Vegas, is a mix of old and new, blending classics from N9NE with modern dishes and a variety of fish and shellfish. Big parties love the bone marrow appetizer, which includes the opportunity to drink a shot of vodka through a hallowed-out bone. Another crowd favorite: seafood towers, which come in a variety of sizes. Cocktails here are strong and creative; some are made tableside by scantily clad mixologists working different cocktail carts. The dining room at Barry's is swanky and sophisticated, with plenty of hidden alcoves. Perhaps the only demerit: sometimes the music can be deafening. 

This sleek restaurant may be decorated primarily in neutrals, but the food by James Beard–nominated chef Nicole Brisson brings plenty of color. Her updated Italian classics include Tuscan carne cruda with lemon, capers, and shallots; herb tagliatelle with rabbit ragu; a whole branzino; and a 120-day dry-aged 42-ounce tomahawk. At lunch, choices include a sausage and fontina tart, and charred octopus. Ciccetti Hour is from 3:30 to 5 pm daily. When the weather’s grand, dine on the lovely expansive patio, which is surrounded by olive trees saved from the old Stardust.

Top Chef star and James Beard Award–winning chef Tom Colicchio presides over this streamlined spot tucked into a corner of the MGM Grand’s Restaurant Row. The menu is as sophisticated as the surroundings, with an emphasis on top-shelf beef, including Japanese Certified A5 Wagyu as a rib eye or New York strip, plus domestic Wagyu, dry-aged and prime beef, and seafood, including lobster, diver scallops, and a tower. 

The rare Greek restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip certainly doesn't disappoint, although you'll pay exceedingly well for the experience. Chef Costas Spiliadis flies in fresh fish from the Mediterranean; you pick out the piece of fish at market price and select how you'd like it prepared. Starters such as Greek bottarga are a nice complement to the main courses. Also worth sampling: the Milos Special, lightly fried zucchini with eggplant, tzatziki, and saganaki cheese. And the aesthetic experience matches the cuisine, the architecture echoing ancient Greece with stone, wood, and marble. The Greek gods would approve.

In a town where restaurants come and go almost as quickly as visitors' cash, the longevity of this steak house, which opened in 1958, is itself a recommendation. Both locals and visitors adore the classic atmosphere with red-leather seating, polished dark wood, and stained-glass windows for the huge slabs of well-prepared meat. Steak, prime rib, lamb chops, king crab legs, and Italian classics such as eggplant parmigiana and chicken of the angels are particularly popular, as are tableside preparations of Caesar salad, bananas foster, and cherries jubilee. Some of the booths are reputed to be the same ones where Elvis, Frank Sinatra, and other members of the Rat Pack—not to mention some infamous mobsters—used to sit.

This venerable restaurant dates to the Rat Pack era. The "cellar" aspect (it's about a half-flight below ground) gives it a cozy feel, as do Old Vegas touches like table-side salad preparation with every dinner (you choose what you want from the cart), a red rose for each woman, and formal, impeccable service. The menu presents a 1960s vibe, with dishes like Duck Anise Flambé, chateaubriand and lobster for two, and table-side cherries jubilee and bananas Foster. But entrées are prepared with modern sensibilities and are joined by new-era choices like a grilled stuffed portobello mushroom and other vegetarian entrées.

The Lake of Dreams is the crown jewel of Wynn Las Vegas, and Lakeside is the setting. If the weather’s pleasant, opt for a waterside table with a view of the outdoor water show and the resort’s pine forest. You’ll find lots of classics on this menu, such as bouillabaisse, roasted lobsters, and king crab, as well as an array of steaks. Caviar is served with warm blini and toast points for that authentic experience.

When "Iron Chef" Masaharu Morimoto opened his restaurant in what he proudly called "the most famous city in the world," it marked his first foray into teppanyaki, sure to be popular with conventioneers. There's also sushi and sashimi, of course, and some of his standards: braised black cod with a ginger-soy reduction, and tuna pizza with anchovy aioli, olives, and jalapeños. The menu includes oysters with foie gras and uni, as well as ishi yaki chashu bop and ishi yaki buri bop—pork or yellowtail-rich dishes cooked at your table in a hot stone bowl—plus a selection of steaks. It's all served in an expansive, streamlined spot on MGM Resort's restaurant row. 

The Waldorf Astoria has extended its Peacock Alley brand with an outlet on the 23rd floor of the Las Vegas resort in the space formerly called the Tea Lounge. Lounge seating and floor-to-ceiling windows make for a comfortably elegant vibe, and a bar adorned with feather motifs and a blue-and-gray palette to carry out the theme. Afternoon tea is served at three seatings Wednesdays through Sundays, with a menu of tea sandwiches and scones and two exclusive tea blends. 

In an ultraswank dining room on the second floor of the Augustus Tower, Michelin three-star chef Guy Savoy introduces diners to his masterful creations, such as crispy branzino roulade with ceviche and fennel. The seven-course 5 Star Celebration Menu features signature dishes like the artichoke-and-black-truffle soup and binchotan-charred octopus with caviar. Prices are a little lower if you opt for the à la carte menu. The selections from Savoy's 15,000-bottle wine cellar only add to this restaurant's epicurean mystique.

With all the panache of an Asian royal palace, this fine-dining restaurant serves some of the choicest Chinese food on the Strip. Chefs present contemporary French-inspired cuisine that blends the Cantonese, Shanghai, and Sichuan traditions. The decadent imperial Peking duck dinner, carved table-side, is a showstopper, but don't overlook options that could include fried prawns with candied walnuts and a kalamansi-honey sauce, garlic beef tenderloin with black-pepper sauce, or the amazing Three Cup Sea Bass with ginger-soy reduction. Vegan options are available.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.  

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.
