20 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas, Nevada

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

Chef José Andrés was one of the first to capitalize on the tapas concept in the United States at his original Washington, D.C., location, and small plates are the highlights of his restaurant here, too. You haven't thoroughly explored the menu until there are stacks of plates on your table. There are classic choices like jamon iberico (Spanish ham) and gambas al ajillo (shrimp in garlic). Or turn it over to the chef, with a tasting menu (two-person minimum). Another highlight: paellas, in at least four varieties. Bring a sense of humor to the main dining room, as some tables are fashioned out of foosball tables that still function perfectly (balls available upon request). For a more formal and intimate experience, try dining in the adjacent "é," an intimate, prix-fixe experience with seats that overlook a separate kitchen.

If you’re looking for something a little more sit-down-and-relax than Eataly’s forage-style food hall, consider this mid-priced part of the Italian behemoth. Two towering, gold-tiled pizza ovens turn out Neapolitan-style pies in numerous varieties, while the pasta side offers house-made fresh pasta dishes, such as pappardelle al ragu di funghi, lasagna Emilia, and ravioli di zucca, and others made with dried pasta imported from Gragnano, Italy, such as bucatini cacio e pepe, and linguine alla scoglio. Antipasti and salads also are served. The prix-fixe Taste of Italy menu has three courses.

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.

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. 

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.

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. 

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.

This offshoot of the Chicago original—from celebrity couple Giuliana and Bill Rancic and Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises siblings R. J., Jerrod, and Molly Melman—has 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.

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.

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.
