Cipriani

$$$$ | North Strip

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.

702-342–9600
Known For
  • Original birthplace of the Bellini

Delilah

$$$$ | North Strip

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.

Delmonico Steakhouse

$$$$ | North Strip

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

$$$$ | North Strip

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.

Eiffel Tower Restaurant

$$$$ | Center Strip

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.

Emeril's New Orleans Fish House

$$$$ | South Strip

Chef Emeril Lagasse's first restaurant in Las Vegas dates back to the opening of the MGM Grand, but it's still a popular choice and has been periodically updated. The menu still puts the spotlight on the chef's Creole-inspired cuisine, such as barbecued shrimp, Louisiana-style jambalaya, and oysters on the half shell with cucumber and seaweed mignonette. Sides like herbed crispy potatoes, creamy Anson Mills grits, and sautéed local mushrooms provide hearty accompaniments for a prime ribeye steak or whole Mediterranean sea bass for two. The central bar is great for a glass of white with Emeril's barbecued shrimp or Creole jumbo shrimp remoulade at lunch. Be sure to finish with a slice of banana cream pie or chocolate bread and butter bread pudding.

Gallagher's Steakhouse

$$$$ | South Strip

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.

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.

Giada

$$$$ | Center Strip

The first restaurant from TV personality and classically trained chef Giada De Laurentiis sits on a prime piece of real estate at the intersection of the Strip and Flamingo Road. The wide expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows provides commanding views, and the food's pretty impressive, too. Try the polenta waffle or a selection of pastries for brunch Friday through Sunday. At dinner, start with the signature bread board or orzo meatballs and move on to pappardelle with San Marzano braised pork or cacio e pepe bucatini served in a warm wheel of Pecorino Toscano. The chef has a much more casual spot, Pronto, at Caesars Palace.

Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen

$$$$ | Center Strip

Gordon Ramsay's fifth Las Vegas restaurant is a reflection of his popular Fox TV show, right down to the red and blue teams in the kitchen and TV monitors dotted around. The sprawling restaurant is a lively, noisy place where fire is a frequent motif. The menu lists Ramsay signatures such as beef Wellington and sticky toffee pudding, and there also is a selection of chilled seafood and a number of grilled dishes. There's also a three-course signature prix fixe menu and a power lunch prix fixe.

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.

3500 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, USA

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.

Nobu Restaurant Las Vegas

$$$$ | Center Strip

After operating for years at the old Hard Rock Hotel (now Virgin Las Vegas), celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa added this modern location at the base of his hotel tower at Caesars Palace. The result: one of the hottest tables in town. The main restaurant serves up sushi, sashimi, and other Japanese-inspired dishes à la carte (try the sweet shrimp with fried head). Various tasting menus incorporate dishes such as Nobu-style fritto misto and lobster tempura with amazu ponzu sauce. In the back, teppanyaki-style tables (think Benihana) offer a prix-fixe experience that includes beef, fresh seafood, and more. In the lounge, bartenders are happy to assist with a dedicated sake menu, most of which has been hand-selected by Nobu himself.

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.

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.
