The Best Places to Eat in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a town all about riches and rewards – if not on the felt green tables of the city’s world-famous casinos, then certainly at the countless restaurants dotting Las Vegas’s main strip. From casual breakfast bars to five-star dining experiences you won’t find anywhere else, here are some of the absolute best places to eat in Las Vegas, each of which we heartily recommend checking out.
Triple George Grill
You don’t have to be a meat lover to enjoy a restaurant like Triple George Grill (although it certainly helps). At this elite Bay Area-influenced restaurant, premium cuts of ultra tender steak is the name of the game. Whether you order the black angus sirloin, the dry-age New York strip, or the fabled Wagyu ribeye, practically every bite is guaranteed to melt in your mouth.
Esther’s Kitchen
Transporting the flavorful presentation of West Coast Italian to the heart of the Nevada desert, Esther’s Kitchen is a seasonal institution well worth visiting. Forever finding new ways to introduce unique culinary creations into its versatile menu, Esther’s is guaranteed to leave diners loosening their rapidly overworked belt loops by the time the check arrives.
Top of the World
Granting diners a bird’s eye view of Las Vegas from the top of the Stratosphere Tower, Top of the World provides as many gorgeous views as it does authentically scrumptious dinner dishes. While you’re enjoying scenic outlooks of the surrounding city landscape, you’ll be able to tuck into any one of Top of the World’s fabulous menu items, like hearty steak filets, butter-adorned lobster, and an ice cream-topped butter cake that’s simply to die for.
Bazaar Meat By José Andrés
To describe Bazaar Meat by José Andrés as unique would simply be an understatement. At this endlessly creative bistro, guests can find an eclectic mix of more upscale menu items alongside more than a few distinct culinary creations you won’t see anywhere else, including a “Super-Giant” chicharrón appetizer, foie gras cotton candy, and applewood-smoked oysters.
Carson Kitchen
Rooftop dining? Check. An assortment of premium beer, wine, and both alcoholic cocktails and non-alcoholic mocktails? Check. A satisfying menu filled with shareable appetizers, meaty burgers, and delectable flatbreads? Check, check, and double check. At Carson Kitchen, virtually every patron can find something to fall in love with, from the caviar-infused deviled eggs to the sensational glazed donut bread pudding.
Peppermill Restaurant and Fireside Lounge
Stepping foot inside the Peppermill Restaurant is a lot like stepping back in time to the 1950s. An iconic Las Vegas venue dating back to 1972, the Peppermill Restaurant continues to delight diners from all over the nation with its neon-lit diner booths, exciting cocktails, and approachable menu (including classic American dishes like burgers, fries, pancakes, and french toast).
Eiffel Tower Restaurant
Admittedly, there is a certain tourist-esque novelty to eating at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, if only to tell your friends back home “Hey, I ate at the top of the Eiffel Tower!” with an undeniable smugness in your tone of voice.
However, it’s also worth mentioning that the Eiffel Tower Restaurant genuinely does have great food, including an assortment of delicious French dishes you’d swear were flown in straight from Paris or Nice.
Mon Ami Gabi
Next to the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, Mon Ami Gabi might just rank as the best French restaurant in all of Las Vegas. Transporting patrons to the eloquent dining halls of an authentic Parisian restaurant, Mon Ami Gabi has all the signature platters one could expect to find in any self-effacing French bistro, like steak frites, melted brie, escargots, and a massive charcuterie board filled with assorted meats, cheeses, and complimentary accouterments.
Lindo Michoacan
Given its geographic basis in the American Southwest, it’s safe to assume that Las Vegas has a fair number of worthwhile Mexican restaurants. For as many memorable Mexican eateries as there are in Sin City, though, Lindo Michoacan rises above all of the rest.
Opening its doors in 1990, Lindo Michoacan is the perfect place to sit back, relax, and unwind with any one of the restaurant’s specialty menu items, complete with an ice-cold margarita to combat that grueling Nevada heat.
Omelet House
What’s better than an exciting night out on the town followed by a nutritious breakfast out at an authentic Las Vegas diner? A casual sit-down restaurant that specializes in classic home cooking, virtually every dish at Omelet House is worth trying at some point or another, including the blueberry-stuffed french toast, the outrageously sized burgers, and – of course – the omelets.
