Edgewood Tahoe

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

The three restaurants at Stateline's classy resort, all in spaces that make the most of the lakeside setting, deliver some of the area's best dining, if on the pricey side. Head to the Bistro for casual-fancy breakfast, lunch, and dinner; Brooks Bar & Grill for inventive lunch and dinner comfort food; and the Edgewood Restaurant for evening fine dining with views across the lake to Mt. Tallac.

Hugo's Cellar

$$$$ | Downtown Fodor's Choice

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.

Lakeside

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

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.

NoMad Library Restaurant

$$$$ | South Strip Fodor's Choice

Grandiose, spectacular, and heart-stopping are three words to describe NoMad Library Restaurant, tucked away at NoMad Las Vegas, which itself is tucked away at Park MGM. Set up to look like a private library, the restaurant has 40-foot ceilings and is ringed with shelves of books—a backdrop that creates an intimate and sophisticated vibe. The food is worthy of this setting. Many dishes are communal, meaning they're designed to share. A signature dish is an American wagyu prime rib (rubbed with porcini and black garlic) or a roasted chicken with foie gras and truffle stuffing (both for two). A seafood platter or caviar service is a nice way to start, and tuna tartare is prepared tableside. Next door, in the NoMad Bar, a more casual menu is available for dinner and late-night bites.

3772 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA
702-730–6788
Known For
  • Breathtaking atmosphere
  • Delicious communal dishes like prime rib, stuffed chicken, or seafood platter

1228 Main

$$ | Downtown

Celebrity Chef Wolfgang Puck got in early on the rise of the Arts District when he opened this casual bar and café in 2023 (the name is pronounced "Twelve Twenty-Eight"). The restaurant side is a full-service bakery, cranking out breads and pastries all day long. It also serves food for three meals a day, as well as brunch on weekends. The bar side is a typical Las Vegas cocktail room, and is a welcoming spot to pass time while you're waiting for a table. Arrive early for weekend brunch as the place gets packed.

Bobby's Burgers by Bobby Flay

$ | Center Strip

Since Bobby Flay has always been known for his grilling skills, a burger place just seems like a natural choice. But these aren't just any burgers; order Bobby's Crunchburger, and you'll find it piled with potato chips for the signature sound. There are sides, of course, as well as thick shakes and even beer and canned cocktails. Breakfast is served from 7 to 11 am daily. Also at Caesars Palace on the Center Strip and Harrah's on the North Strip.

The Border Inn

$

This low-key local staple a few miles outside of Baker is the place to go for big portions and cold beers every single day of the year except Christmas. It's family-run and has a homey feel, with photos of local ranchers adorning the walls.

U.S. 6/50, Baker, NV, 89311, USA
775-234–7300
Known For
  • Old-school diner favorites like chicken-fried steak, hamburgers, and grilled cheese

Boulder Dam Brewing Company

$
Across the street from the Boulder Dam Hotel, the Boulder Dam Brewing Company is a lively, family-run brewery decorated with historic Hoover Dam photos and memorabilia. The menu focuses on hearty pub fare and beers with names such as High Scaler Pale Ale and Powder Monkey Pilsner. A popular patio garden offers live music on fair-weather weekends.

Bumbleberry Flats

$$
The New Pioneer Hotel's signature restaurant starts the day off right with hearty breakfasts that locals claim are the best in town; late risers don't need to fret—breakfast is served all day. As the day progresses, the kitchen also serves up huge portions of comfort-food classics such as burgers, fried chicken, and meat loaf.

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop

$ | West Side

This East Coast transplant with locations all over the Valley satisfies Sin City's cravings for giant sub sandwiches, including a Philly-style cheese steak, a hot pastrami sandwich, and a divine creation called the Bobbie—basically Thanksgiving dinner on a bun. Numerous locations around town include outposts in a few outlying casinos, such as Red Rock, Santa Fe, and Green Valley Ranch.

Carson Kitchen

$$ | Downtown
The late rock-and-roll chef Kerry Simon brought his fun, contemporary cuisine to this restored hotel in the Downtown redevelopment district, and his legacy continues. It's small and kind of rustic, with an airy (and kitschy) patio out back and one on the roof. Inside you'll find an open kitchen with counter seating for such dishes as crispy chicken skins with smoked honey, bacon jam with baked Brie, or cocoa-espresso New York steak.

Chickie's & Pete's Crabhouse and Sports Bar

$$ | North Strip

The excitement from Philadelphia-native locals and visitors surrounding this Sahara spot is palpable, largely because of its legendary (and reportedly addictive) crab fries—french fries with crab seasoning, also available topped with actual crab or lobster (or try the Crabby Sweets, a sweet-potato version). There’s plenty more on this sports-bar menu, though, including four varieties of Philly cheesesteaks, warm or chilled lobster rolls, an impressive variety of other seafood, burgers, sandwiches, salads, pizza, and more. The late-night menu, served at the bar from 10 pm to midnight daily, is brief, but all the favorites are on it.

2535 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA
702-761–7000
Known For
  • Crab fries with cheese dipping sauce
  • Lively, sports-bar atmosphere
  • Magnet for Philly expats

Citizens Kitchen & Bar

$ | South Strip

This pub serves up some of the best comfort food Vegas has to offer, including a great "Hangry" burger and Baja fish tacos. A convenient space between the hotel and convention center, it's lively and casual but can sometimes get loud during peak hours. Citizens, as it's known, also offers a mélange of side dishes and signature cocktails. Try the chocolate stout milkshake or a maple bacon coffee cocktail.

Dawg House Saloon

$ | North Strip

The vibe at Resorts World is primarily refined and Asian, but at Dawg House you can cut loose Nashville-style. On the menu are such shareables as hot chicken bites, smoked Buffalo cauliflower, and bacon "candy," but the menu also offers burgers (the Rottweiler has bacon jam, crispy onions, cheddar, and barbecue sauce), sandwiches (such as the Dawg House Club or pulled pork), salads, soups, and all manner of  “dawgs.” Shooters, specialty cocktails and a long—long—list of drafts and other beers complete the picture. An extension of a spot on Nashville's Music Row, it features live music and dancing and a relatively raucous atmosphere. Breakfast is also served from, 7 to 11 am daily.

Diner Ross

$$$ | Center Strip

Spiegelworld strikes again with this “friendly finer diner” that has been designed as a companion to the company’s new Discoshow. Diner Ross is suitably Spiegelworld-wacky, carrying out the 1970s disco theme with cocktails such as the Wallbanger and the LSD ("Love Saves the Day" . . . what did you think it was going to be?), which mixes gin, aquavit, and falernum with Earl Grey yogurt. To carry out the theme, the food includes a "dirty martini" salad (with bibb lettuce and green olives) and green goddess wedge, as well as steaks, buffalo chicken schnitzel, steelhead trout, and burgers. Don’t miss the "disco fries" with cheese, gravy, and caramelized onions.

  • Companion to Discoshow

Echo & Rig Steakhouse & Butcher Shop

$$$ | Summerlin South
This Tivoli Village standout is all about meat. The menu offers a healthy list of options and cuts, from skirt steak, tri-tip, and hangar steak to a rib-eye cap and more. An on-site butcher shop offers diners the opportunity to buy fresh meat to take home with them as well. The rest of the food at Echo & Rig is pretty good, too: small plates and veggies such as summer corn with fresh marjoram are a big hit. Because the restaurant is large and dimly lit, it has a modern industrial hipster vibe. Don't let that feeling turn you off; you'll be hard-pressed to find a better steak dinner around town.

Eureka!

$$ | Downtown

Inside Downtown's bohemian temple, the Emergency Arts Building, this restaurant features what they call a "scratch kitchen concept." It may sound rather pot-lucky, but this isn't the standard chain-food menu (despite being part of a California-based chain). How does this sound: skirt steak with broccolini, red chimichurri, chili flakes, Parmesan, and lemon zest; a cowboy burger nearly tipping over with shoestring onions, bacon, cheddar cheese, and a beer barbecue sauce; and a bourbon barrel cake. That's just for starters. For imbibing purposes, sample the local craft beers, small-batch whiskeys, and classic cocktails. And don't miss the daily "Hoppy Hour."

Gordon Ramsay Burger

$$ | Center Strip

Since Gordon Ramsay's been known to flame a contestant or two, it's only fitting that his burgers are cooked over a hardwood fire. Consider the Hell's Kitchen Burger, with asadero cheese, roasted jalapeños, and roasted tomatoes; or the Farmhouse Burger, with Dubliner cheese, bacon, and a fried egg. Salads include the "hellfire" chicken, and sides run to truffle Parmesan fries and beer-battered onion rings. Dig into one of Ramsay's rich desserts, or sip a cocktail while enjoying the roaring fire. There's another location at the Flamingo.

Grand Lux Cafe

$$ | North Strip

Warm earth tones, soft music and lighting, cloth napkins, and marble-topped tables are an elegant milieu in which to enjoy a glass of wine and mélange of appealing, freshly cooked flavors and textures—Asian nachos, double-stuffed potato spring rolls, stacked chicken quesadillas—24 hours a day. Located right off the main casino floor, this convenient chain eatery offers eclectic menu items and familiar crowd-pleasers: pizza, pastas, barbecue ribs, burgers, BLTs, and even wood-grilled filet mignon or rib eye. The "Lux" operates as a subsidiary of the Cheesecake Factory, so not only is it a reliable option for a more casual meal, it also offers its signature cheesecake for dessert. (You can also get one to go in the adjoining bakery, as well as coffee and pastries.)   And there's another location in the Palazzo.

Great Full Gardens Café and Eatery

$$

The owners of this bright-and-chipper, health-oriented restaurant open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner aim to please all palates, from carnivore to vegan. The ingredients—grass-fed burger meat, organic chicken, wild-caught seafood, and a wide range of produce—are sourced as locally as possible.

Hash House A Go Go

$ | West Side

Hearty appetites will be richly rewarded at this quirky purveyor of so-called twisted farm food. Heaps of savory comfort food are cooked to order in this spacious restaurant done up in industrial, urban-farmhouse decor. Breakfast skillets runneth over, with tender, house-cured hashes, fresh eggs, house-made biscuits and jam, and sage-fried chicken and eggs. Non-breakfast platters include sage-fried chicken and waffles; griddled meat loaf, or a hot-chicken sandwich. This national chain has another West Side location inside the Rio (3700 W. Flamingo Rd.) as well as casino outlets on the Strip at The LINQ Resort & Casino, downtown at the Plaza Hotel & Casino; and another stand-alone building in Henderson (555 N. Stephanie St.). Only the casino outlets are opening evenings; most close by 2 or 3.

Honey Salt

$$ | Summerlin South

The brainchild of restaurateur Elizabeth Blau and chef Kim Canteenwalla, Honey Salt is, quite simply, a fun place to eat a meal. The atmosphere is convivial, dishes are designed for sharing, and a creative kids' menu encourages diners to bring the whole family. Stand-out dishes include savory monkey bread, a salad with duck confit, and branzino. At weekend brunch, try the pumpkin brioche French toast or fried chicken benedict. Even the desserts are noteworthy: you'll be thinking about the "brookie," a blend of chocolate chip cookie, brownie, and ice cream, for weeks. This is one of the places where chefs in the Vegas Valley come on their days off.

Lazy Dog

$$ | South Strip

As casino companies relax their historically strict no-pets policies, canine companions are popping up with increasingly frequency on the Strip. While they're still no-go inside restaurants, they're frequently welcomed by those with patios, including this spot first established in Las Vegas at Town Square. The name's a clue, of course, as is the fact that LD has a special menu for dogs. As for humans, they'll find a varied menu including such starters of spicy tuna poke on crispy sushi rice, or Cajun fries with chipotle-ranch dipping sauce. Entrees include such homey choices as campfire pot roast, or a chicken pot pie, as well as steaks, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. There's a menu for human kids, too, as well as a gluten-sensitive menu; brunch dishes such as mountain berry pancakes and quiche are served on weekends. Suburban locations are in Summerlin and Henderson.

Lehman Caves Cafe and Gift Shop

This casual spot is a great place to soak in the vast desert view and offers simple breakfasts and lunches. The sandwiches, filled with meats smoked by the owner, are especially good.

Libertine Social

$$$ | South Strip

This casual spot from James Beard Award–winning chef Shawn McClain puts the emphasis on "social." The food's fun but seriously good: try the caviar fried egg, in which fish eggs are paired with a chicken one and corn pudding, or boards like charcuterie, house-baked bread or pretzels. Among the entrées are a roasted chicken and pappardelle with oxtail ragu. There are conversation-inducing seating areas and a cocktail program that includes a house old-fashioned with Calvados and cinnamon, and a refreshing pisco sour. Grab-and-go lunch is available at the window on weekends.

Little A'Le'Inn

$

Even if you aren’t hungry for a tasty "alien burger," a pilgrimage to this restaurant/bar is practically a requirement to earn those Area 51 bragging rights. While the food is typical diner fare such as chili and sandwiches, it’s pretty reasonably priced, and the owners put some tender loving care into keeping their oddly famous outpost in top shape. You can commune with visitors from around the globe and check out a bounty of Area 51–theme merchandise, from bottles of wine to license plates. The walls are also adorned with fuzzy photographs of UFO sightings. Don't be confused if the town of Alamo pops up on your GPS. Rachel shares its zip code. If you don't want to drive back to Las Vegas the same day, there are some very basic motel-like accommodations available.

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.

Mountain High Sandwich Company

$

A casual, plank-floored, all-natural deli serving breakfast and lunch, Mountain High may well be the only place in Tahoe to find coconut chia seed pudding and similar delicacies. More familiar fare—biscuits and gravy (sausage or veggie) for breakfast, house-smoked tri-tip sandwiches (also tofu barbecue) for lunch—is also on the menu.

Netflix Bites

$$$ | South Strip

Las Vegas has had restaurants themed for Motown, ESPN, Star Trek, magic, Hello Kitty, and more over the years, so this zeitgeist-grabbing spot feels inevitable. The energy of the casino floor carries into the neon-bedecked restaurant, where you'll find food and drink inspired by Netflix favorites, such as "Eggs Benedict Bridgerton" (with smoked salmon) "Stranger Wings" (with Buffalo, lemon pepper, or bbq sauce) "Orange is the New Mac" (mac and cheese with hot Cheetos), or drinks like the "Dalgona Rum Buzz" or "The House of Usher." Or indulge in the full Bridgerton Regency Tea, with finger sandwiches, scones, and everything else Lady Whistledown would expect. This is a pop-up that is expected to last into early 2026, but maybe it'll get a second season. It closes from 2 to 5 daily.

Raiders Tavern & Grill

$

With Las Vegas Raiders games packing Allegiant Stadium, fans of the Silver and Black will likely find this sports bar and grill at the M Resort as intoxicating as the spirits on tap at one of two bars in this large, 3,400-square-foot room. Raiders helmets and footballs line the entryway, while framed jerseys of past gridiron greats and a gift shop loaded with Raiders gear make this a must-stop for team diehards. The all-night menu ranges from stadium fare like burgers and Philly cheese steaks to homemade BBQ, wood-fired pizzas, street tacos, and steak and salmon entrees. Breakfast is served on Saturday and—of course—Sunday, so you can fuel up before the big game and then root, root, root for the home team on one of 45 TVs.
