Las Vegas Restaurants

Las Vegas is a food lover’s playground, with headline-grabbing restaurants on the Strip and hidden gems just a short drive away. Whether you want a celebrity-chef tasting menu, a lively buffet, or a neighborhood spot with serious flavor, here are our favorites to add to your next trip.

ON THE STRIP

Bacchanal Buffet — A no-shame, go-big buffet wonderland with everything from king crab towers to sugar-coma desserts. Come hungry, try everything, and blame the buffet for your second (or third) plate.

LPM Restaurant — Light, sun-kissed French-Mediterranean vibes that feel like a breezy lunch in Nice — but on the Strip. Share a truffle pasta or whole fish and pretend you’re on a mini European escape.

HaSalon — Equal parts dinner and party, HaSalon’s loud, late-night Mediterranean feasts are made for celebration and chaos. Go for the shareable whole chicken and stay for the DJ energy.

STK Steakhouse — Half steakhouse, half nightclub; this is where your steak flirts with the dance floor. Order a bone-in ribeye, sip a crafty cocktail, and enjoy the scene.

Esther’s Kitchen — Neighborhood Italian with warm vibes, killer house-made pasta, and a lineup of pizzas that feel like a hug. Perfect for a relaxed night of carbs and community energy.

Tacos El Gordo — No frills, all flavor; think Tijuana-style adobada tacos that hit at any hour. Lines move fast, tacos disappear faster — get the adobada and thank us later.

Bardot Brasserie — A dreamy, classy little Parisian escape inside the ARIA where French classics are elevated with playful precision. Think onion soup, duck à l'orange, and café society vibes — dress nicely, linger over cocktails, and order the pommes purée.

Toca Madera — Sexy, modern Mexican with upscale flair and a tequila-forward cocktail program that keeps the party bubbling. The menu riffs on bold wood-grilled flavors and shareable plates — try the tableside guacamole, grilled seafood, and anything with their smokey chiles.

Vanderpump Paris — Glamorous, pink-infused Parisian fantasy with celebrity sparkle; think playful French plates, over-the-top cocktails, and selfie-ready moments. Order the shareable seafood towers, steak frites, and something bubbly for maximum Vanderpump energy.

Bazaar Meat — José Andrés’ carnivore playground where steak gets theatrical and adventurous cuts steal the show. Expect bold presentations, nose-to-tail creativity, and big flavors — go for the tasting options and any theatrical meat centerpiece.

Bourbon Steak (Michael Mina) — A polished, modern steakhouse with refined sides and a cocktail program built for savoring; perfect for a special night when you want serious beef and smooth service. Try the dry-aged cuts, signature sides, and a bourbon-forward old fashioned.

Prime Steakhouse (Bellagio x Jean-Georges Vongerichten) — Elegant Strip dining where Jean-Georges’ refined touch elevates classic steakhouse fare with seasonal, plated finesse. Vibe is luxe and romantic — order a prime steak, the seafood tower, and a decadent vegetable side to share.

OFF THE STRIP:

RARE Society — A modern steak-and-seafood hangout in Summerlin where dry-aged perfection meets creative sides and cocktails. Dress a little nice, eat a lot, leave happy.

Echo & Rye — Cozy, elevated tavern fare with cocktails that actually deserve the hype. Great spot for seasonal comfort dishes that taste like home but fancier.

Momo Sushi — Solid, no-drama sushi in Chinatown: fresh nigiri, smart rolls, and an omakase that won’t break the bank. Come hungry for fish and leave feeling very satisfied.

Pizza Rock — A pizza party for grown-ups: award-winning pies that span classic Neapolitan to Detroit-style, plus a killer beer list and neighborhood energy. Perfect for groups who argue about toppings — get the signature pies and share a flight of beers.
