Las Vegas restaurants guide: Where to eat on and off the Strip
"Treat yourself to a romantic brunch with an amazing view of the Strip at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at the Paris Las Vegas hotel. Fill up on crème brulée french toast, lobster eggs benedict, avocado toast with poached eggs and other delicious and filling dishes. There’s also a fixed price tasting menu, though it is limited in selection."
"Set inside Las Vegas’ version of the Eiffel Tower, overlooking the Bellagio Fountains from the Eiffel Tower Restaurant’s spectacular window views. This elegant atmosphere serves fine French dining. Maybe it’s a little predictable, but this beloved Vegas staple has seen some 10,000 proposals over the course of its 20 years."
"Las Vegas is well-known for its replicas but the Eiffel Tower is the most impressive. Inside is a brilliant restaurant that has floor-to-ceiling windows. They show you the view 100 feet over the Bellagio fountains, along with a good view of the strip."
"It may sound like a blasphemy to say, but while Emeril Lagasse, a man who almost singlehandedly changed how we look at home cooking, has opened up several restaurants, not all of them are good. However, Emeril’s Las Vegas empire breaks that mold and offers consistently high-quality dishes that are simultaneously fancy enough for the pickiest gourmand and delicious enough for any eater. Plus, their Creole roots make the food approachable, which isn’t always true of high-class dining."
"We’d be amiss if Emeril’s New Orleans’ style desserts didn’t make this list, and his banana cream pie tops the list. A staple since the inception of his restaurant, this banana cream pie is rich and thick, with three pounds of bananas in each pie. If one taste of Emeril’s banana cream pie keeps you longing for more after you’ve left Vegas, check out the Food Network’s website to find the recipe and try your hand at it when you get home."
"Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House is a seafood haven featuring dishes by the world-famous chef, Emeril Lagasse. This casual restaurant is modern and sea-inspired."
"For years, the Foundation Room, with its staggering views of the Strip from the 63rd floor of Mandalay Bay, was exclusively for members. Now, everyone has access to the lounge-y, opulent club, whose private dining rooms are filled with rare artifacts (think Tibetan artifacts, confessionals from an Irish church, a chandelier that survived MGM’s devastating 1978 fire). Pair this with great cocktails, several bars, and a big dance floor, and you have the makings of one of the best spaces in Las Vegas."
"An evening at the Foundation Room feels like a house party at a mansion, thanks to the richly upholstered interior space that’s outfitted with a fireplace that lends a warm glow. The once extremely exclusive but now very accessible space is perched on the 63rd floor of Mandalay Bay. The Foundation Room features an expansive balcony with a much-desired view of the Strip, plus nightly DJs and a Nibbles & Sips happy hour Sunday through Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m."
"Set on the 63rd floor of Mandalay Bay, the Foundation Room is a vibrant and unique rooftop lounge, nightclub and restaurant. With several different rooms and areas inside, up here you also find a lovely rooftop terrace with the most amazing views over Las Vegas and The Strip. Sophisticated, yet cool and exciting in vibe and decor, this is really a one stop destination for a great night out."
"One of the most artistic and celebrated chefs in the world today, Pierre Gagnaire opened his first and only US restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas to rave reviews in 2009. Located on the 23rd floor, the stunning dining room provides the perfect backdrop for Twist’s groundbreaking menu of classic French cuisine. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a dramatic glass staircase leading up to a suspended wine loft, the romantic Las Vegas restaurant’s most striking feature is its lighting, which incorporates more than 300 gold globes designed to look as if they’re floating in the air across the ceiling."
"This is the only place in the US that diners can experience the extraordinary cuisine of Chef Pierre Gagnaire. Located on the 23rd floor of Waldorf Astoria, Las Vegas, Twist not only boasts exceptional cuisine but breath-taking views as well. Gagnaire’s ground-breaking menu is a mixture of classic French cuisine and contemporary dining."
"There’s the airy dining room, with its glass orb chandeliers and serene decor. And there’s the impeccable food that seems to transport you inside the inventive mind of Michelin-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire. Trying to anticipate how a dish will arrive is a losing game."
"Located in the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace, Il Mulino New York is an upmarket restaurant serving classic, regional Italian cuisine in stylish surroundings. Exuding an Old World Italian ambiance with crisp white linen-covered tables, soft lighting, and breathtaking views of the Strip from the private balcony, Il Mulino New York focuses on the cuisine of the Abruzzo region, which features rich dishes in a simple, yet flavorful sauces. Signature dishes on the menu include Saltimbocca with Sage and Prosciutto, Frutti di Mare Risotto, Filetto di Mango Alla Fiorentina (filet steak in a shallot, sage, and wine sauce), and Vongole Alla Posillipo (clams in a light marinara sauce)."

"The posh new Red Plate at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas brings upscale Chinese dining to the resort. Roasted meats, Chinese hot pot and dim sum are menu highlights, but the selections cover a wide range. Starting dishes include a King Crab spring roll, crispy tofu with fried garlic or abalone in cold sake."

"The Adventure Dome is located inside of the Circus Circus hotel. It’s a very large indoor amusement park that has mini golf, rock climbing, bungee jumping, roller coasters, an arcade, and more. Some of the activities do have a minimum height requirement of 48” but there are still things to do for kids that don’t."
