The Best Places to Drink Wine in Las Vegas
"Found on the 11th floor of the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas, the Eiffel Tower Restaurant is the place for elegant French cuisine and magnificent views of the Bellagio Fountains. The view from here gets you far above the street with unimpeded views of the Strip and fountains!. The Eiffel Tower Restaurant has an excellent selection of elegant French cuisine."
"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."
"We missed you at tonight’s wine tasting with Chataeu La Nerthe!. Sign up for our email list to learn more about all of our special events: http://bit.ly/2I9rKSg. This is where quality meets class."
"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."
"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."
"Emerils New Orleans Fish House is certainly nice, but not so pricey that diners on a budget have to skip it. Go to Emerils Fish House at the..."
"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."
"The House of Blues Foundation Room found above the towers of Mandalay Bay is where you come for a nightcap and a full on party. This social haunt has some of the best food, views, and drinks in the city. An award-winning locale, the lounge offers the chance for everyone to experience the elite life."
"Lots of mouth watering flavor and I like the super fast way they get the food out to you, without feeling hurried."
"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."
"Twist by Pierre Gagnaire is as special as special occasion restaurants get. In some of the most imaginative dishes offered in Vegas, single ingredients are elevated to complete pieces of art, and every course will surprise you. Gagnaire plays heavily to seasons and regions, so if you'd like to taste the absolute essence of a place, dive into dishes like Dover Sole from Brittany, with spinach cream, shitake duxelle, cauliflower, and mousseline sauce, and you'll be completely transported."
"He may look like a Jedi master, but Pierre Gagnaire really is one of the top culinary masters in the world. His global invasion of restaurants stopped short of America, until he opened Twist at the Mandarin Oriental in Las Vegas. The Frenchman's understated elegance fits in nicely with the hotel."
"If you’re longing for the glamor of vintage Las Vegas — red tufted seating, waiters in tuxedos flambeing bananas foster tableside, a booth once frequented by Frank Sinatra — you’ll find it at The Golden Steer Steakhouse on Sahara Avenue, the oldest steakhouse in the city. Founded in 1958, this just off-Strip fine dining restaurant has a long tradition of serving wet-aged steak and classic Las Vegas accompaniments such as shrimp cocktail and oysters Rockefeller. For a special occasion, split the chateaubriand."
"Stepping into Cipriani Las Vegas feels like stepping onto a beautiful yacht. A little nautical and a lot jetsetter-y, with glossy walnut and chrome and terrazzo flooring, the space resembles other Michele Bonan–designed Cipriani restaurants in Miami, Ibiza, and Mexico City. But its own color palette—royal blue and orange—are exclusive to the Vegas location."
"Cipriani inside the Wynn Plaza Shops at Wynn Las Vegas is considered one of the top essential Italian restaurants in Las Vegas. The four-generation restaurant continues to live up to its global brand of a luxurious atmosphere, impeccable service and authentic Italian cuisine. For lunch, we recommend Cipriani’s three-course power menu."
"There are a few breweries in the Downtown area, but Banger Brewing is the only one surrounded by the high energy and bright lights of the Fremont Street Experience. Despite the location, the brewery and bar is a favorite of locals and a welcome detour for tourists. Opened by a group of service-industry friends, Banger Brewing is proving to be a great Las Vegas success story."
"Banger Brewing sits right along Fremont Street, one of the most eclectic, interesting, and happening streets in all of the United States. Fremont Street is Old Town Vegas and dates back to when Las Vegas itself was originally founded. It was the first paved street in Sin City and even had the first traffic light."
"Beer styles at this brewery, named for partner/brewer Michael "Banger" Beaman, are rarely conventional, with twists such as a jalapeño Hefeweizen or a watermelon wheat. Online ordering available. Find it at Neonopolis on the Fremont Street Experience."
"Pioneers of the finest ales, the Las Vegas Brewery, Astronomy Aleworks, is the product of four dedicated beer enthusiasts, including a local Las Vegas father and son duo. Family owned and operated, the team brews and serves delicious scientifically crafted local beer because of the dedicated astronomers who worked diligently to bring the stars and planets close to us. At Astronomy Ale Works in the artisan booze district, you’ll find quality artisan beers set to impress any ale-naut or astronaut."
"Located in Henderson’s Booze District, Astronomy Aleworkscreates “works of fermented art using keen scientific principles inspired by the hard-working men and women who labored to bring the stars and planets closer to our hearts”. Astronauts, for those who didn’t get the fancy wording. We sat next to one of the founders/brewers when we visited and he answered the question (from someone else) of “Why the name, Astronomy Aleworks?"
"One of the best parts of Las Vegas is the cheap flights running nearly round the clock. It affords the opportunity to extend a trip for a few extra hours for a bit more fun. The city of Henderson isn’t too far from McCarran International Airport and neither is its Artisan Booze District, which includes Crafthaus Brewery, Bad Beat Brewing, Las Vegas Distillery, and Vegas Valley Winery."
"Spend a few minutes talking to The Mad Fermentist himself and you’ll come to find that he just absolutely loves craft beer. He’s well-traveled, having been born on an Air Force base in Germany and traveling through Europe for the first portion of his life, and those life experiences come through in all of his beer. Located above the Three Sheets Craft Beer Bar in the Arts District, The Mad Fermentist brews its beer down in Henderson at Mojave Brewing and has a pretty diverse lineup."
"Take the chance to create a customized ice cream sandwich for less than $4. Diners can choose from 13 cookie options such assnickerdoodle or Tuxedo (white and regular chocolate chip) and from 17 ice cream flavors such as black cherry, chocolate malted crunch, strawberry cheesecake or birthday cake."
"The main goal of Shang Artisan Noodle is to bring the ancient Chinese tradition of handmade noodles onto the global stage. The company believes that noodle-making is a craft passed down from generation to generation. Shang Artisan Noodle pays homage to Shan-Xi, a northern province in China where wheat is the primary thriving cultivated crop."
"Can you put a price on noodles handmade using ancient Chinese practices?. Shang Artisan Noodle insists that their modern interpretation of the Shanxi tradition should hover around $10 (£7.20) or less. Bring your appetite for a bowl of chunky noodle soup or noodles and sauce, slurping down every drop while saving every penny possible."
"Shang Artisan Noodle is providing takeout and curbside pickup of its hand-pulled noodles plus delivery from Seamless, GrubHub, or Doordash."
"Noodles are made in house in front of diners near the dramatic fish tanks that flank the space at Beijing Noodle No. 9 at Caesars Palace. Look for street fare from Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Beijing on the menu with specialties such as handmade noodles with pork, Shanghai pork soup dumplings, stir-fried shrimp, and live seafood. Takeout available daily."
"Without a doubt, this was the most homestyle (in a good way) offering in Las Vegas, and by far the most authentic and relatable as an Asian person. The waitress was basically a stereotypical Chinese auntie. We told her I had a peanut allergy and she said “OK, you shouldn’t order this one, or this one, or this one."
"Grab a lunch special at Beijing Noodle No.9 at Ceasars Palace or split a couple of entrees and you’ll be impressed by the size of the portions compared to the final cost."
