The modern restaurant features a casual urban design, sleek industrial tables, and a stunning outdoor rooftop patio for diners to enjoy the trendy downtown atmosphere.

"Although this list is presented in no particular order, I do have a favorite Las Vegas restaurant and, it just so happens, I have listed it in this first position. Hell’s Kitchen by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is a restaurant that all Las Vegas visitors look forward to experiencing. Conveniently located at Caesars Palace, it’s a great choice for either lunch or dinner, and the option to order from a prix fixe menu can help budget-minded travelers plan appropriately."

"Another Gordon Ramsay creation, the Pineapple Carpaccio at Hell’s Kitchen, is an unusual yet impressive dessert. Be wowed by a foaming cloud of liquid nitrogen that gives way to thinly sliced pineapple served with coconut sorbet, passionfruit, and coriander. If you’re more of a traditionalist and would rather skip the food show, opt for the Coconut Three Ways, which comprises coconut sorbet, passion fruit caramel, and coconut cake."

"Gordon Ramsay is a Michelin Star chef who has a reputation as one of the best and most temperamental industries. Foodies obsessively follow his reality-based shows, including Hell’s Kitchen. When in Vegas, you have the chance to eat at real Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen and discover for yourself what all the fuss is about."

"in Cocktail Bars, Lounges, 24 Hour Restaurants, American Restaurants, Unique Restaurants. Established in 1972, Peppermill is a reminder of what Vegas used to be like back in the days. Its decor includes neon lights, faux vines, purple and aqua-blue seating and fire pits surrounded by bubbling water."

"Hash House A Go Go isn’t the only restaurant that serves up a hearty breakfast. Another one of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots is the Peppermill Restaurant, located on the north side of the Strip between Encore and The STRAT. Peppermill’s portion size is enormous, with one meal often being enough to satisfy two diners."

"Every city needs a good diner, and the Peppermill fulfills that need, all wrapped in neon nostalgia on the north Strip. The 14-page menu runs the gamut from omelets and French toast to burgers and steaks. Patrons who sit at the counter can watch the greasy spoon kitchen at work."

"If you watch sports, the last thing you want to see is a huge tab at the end of a game. You can remedy that with the large portions at TAP Vegas and with the game day specials on beer and appetizers. If you aren't that hungry, split the Captan's Burger with a couple of people."

"Whoever said that fast food had to be greasy cheeseburgers and artery-clogging fries has never stepped foot into Grabbagreen Food + Juice. This ‘fast food’ type establishment prides itself on its ‘Eat Clean’ menu that is comprised of nothing but quality, fresh ingredients, and 100% whole foods. Grabbagreen may be one of the newer restaurants to hit the Las Vegas streets but has quickly grown since its humble beginnings in 2013."

"Rounding out the Henderson Booze District and one of the many Las Vegas breweries, Mojave Brewing’s founder spent 30 years brewing, drinking, and sharing his own beer with friends before starting the process of beginning his own brewery. His internships took him to some well-known and high-profile breweries before finally starting his own in the historic Henderson neighborhood. The tasting room has a patio and even uses an abandoned bank vault as a private tasting area for members of its Founders Club."

"John Griffith has been sharing his own home brews with family and friends for more than 30 years. Griff got so good at it, he was convinced to open his own place -- Mojave Brewing Company, renovated from an old Bank of America building in Henderson’s historic Water Street district. It’s an engaging, industrial space with roll-up, garage-style doors, bistro string lights, and a long patio where doggies are welcome."

"Fascinating multimedia exhibits focus on science, technology and the social history of the 'Atomic Age,' which lasted from WWII until atmospheric bomb testing was driven underground in 1961 and a worldwide ban on nuclear testing was declared in 1992. View footage of atomic testing and examine southern Nevada's nuclear past, present and future, from Native American ways of life to the environmental legacy of atomic testing. Don't miss the ticket booth (how could you?); it's a Nevada Test Site guard-station replica."
