The Best Fine-Dining Restaurants in Las Vegas, Nevada
"Paris Las VegasThe next time you gaze up to the top of the Eiffel Tower replica on the Strip, lower your eyes a bit to the middle. That's where you'll find the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, where the dining room comes with sweeping Strip views that overlook the Bellagio fountains across the street. The restaurant, which features a mix of American and French cuisine, is so romantic, it's seen more than 10,000 proposals over the past 20 years with special packages available to pop the question in the best way possible."
"Parisian romance with a glitzy Vegas sparkle makes the Eiffel Tower Restaurant a must-visit for your special occasion on the Strip. Introduce your partner to a trilogy of imported caviar before nibbling on fricassée d’escargot. A Rossini-style filet mignon with foie gras and truffle sauce sets the mood for the grand finale: a chocolate Eiffel Tower soufflé."
"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants The Strip. Like the real Eiffel Tower, the Strip’s downsized homage to the Parisian landmark is home to a dining destination. Unlike its French counterpart, Chef Jean Joho’s Eiffel Tower Restaurant is an elevated experience, perched 11 stories above the Strip."
"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."
"This fish house is one of many restaurants created by Food Network star and chef Emeril Lagasse.

Takeout with online ordering available."

Starting dishes include a King Crab spring roll, crispy tofu with fried garlic or abalone in cold sake."
"If you’re ready to face your fears, enter this historic 1938 haunted mansion in downtown Las Vegas and expect the unexpected.

"Perhaps one of the longest-standing cultural entities in Southern Nevada is the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, which has existed in one form or another for more than five decades. Located in the heart of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas main campus, this spot isn’t only educational—it’s also the state’s most important collection house, complete with works formerly found in the Las Vegas Art Museum and the Nevadan portion of the 50×50 Collection from Dorothy and Herbert Vogel. Featuring a mix of contemporary and historic pieces—including artifacts dating back 1,000 years—the museum also offers space to show experimental art and rotating exhibitions."

"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."

The menu features Beyond Burgers, a breakfast all day option stacked with fried egg, bacon, hash browns and maple syrup, plus the double patty CEO, topped with candied bacon-tomato jam, truffle aioli, and Swiss cheese."
"To the immediate south of The Strip, is one of the holiest sites for Roman Catholics in Las Vegas. The sculptures around the church are truly reflective of man’s ability with stone. Amidst the chaos of the Sin City, this beautiful church offers solitude and peace."
"This church reminds us of the large population of Roman Catholics in Las Vegas, who was instrumental in the formation of this desert paradise. Located within “The Strip”, this church preserves the old Las Vegas in pristine condition, amidst the fast-paced urban developments. This basilica-styled church is famous for its stained-glass mural which depicts the resorts on the Strip in flames and is one of the central churches in Las Vegas."
"A four-sided spire capped with a cross is located to the front left of the cathedral. At its base is a statue of the Holy Family. There is a large mosaic over the main entrance of the cathedral by Los Angeles artist Edith Piczek."
