The 20 BEST Restaurants in Las Vegas [2021 UPDATED]
"One of those Las Vegas restaurants with a view, this Eiffel Tower restaurant offers you the charm of Paris in the Sin City. The place is charming and undoubtedly romantic. They have both lunch and dinner option available with two and three courses, and the former is cheaper than the latter if budget is your concern."
"The best spot for a view of the Bellagio Water Show also happens to be an amazing place to take pictures of Paris Las Vegas’ Eiffel Tower. You can snap photos of both of the angles shown above by walking up Bellagio Drive. We took the first photo directly in front of the Bellagio entrance and valet."
"The Louisiana native scores high on the list due to his longevity, as well as the variety and quality of his creations. Emeril Lagasse's New Orleans Fish House has been at the MGM Grand for more than 20 years now (which might as well be a hundred years in Las Vegas terms) and is still competitive, with frequent menu updates. The chef who made "Bam!" a common kitchen phrase can also boast the whiskey-soaked Delmonico Steakhouse at The Venetian, and over at the Palazzo, Table 10 and the Lagasse's Stadium sports bar."
"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."
"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."
"Stop by the Foundation Room and experience great panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip with its upscale casino hotels, high-end restaurants, shops, and attractions. Originally an exclusive private club for members only, this cocktail lounge is located on the 63rd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel right above the House of Blues. It has several bars, a big dance floor, and an upscale restaurant."
"Great views of the city come with the Foundation Room at the top of Mandalay Bay. Deejays and cocktail such as the Cucumber Zen, Perfect Gin & Tonic, or the Ginza Fashioned make the menu. The patio offers stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip."
"If Robuchon is the most elaborate and Savoy the most elegant of Vegas's great restaurants, Gagnaire matches them for the creativity of its cuisine, which is often as baffling as it is exhilarating. One look at his scallop carpaccio with Campari or mushroom broth zézette tells you that you're in the hands of the enfant terrible of French cooking. The years haven't dimmed Gagnaire's incessant search for astounding edibles and his Nebraska sirloin with escargot sauce and venison ice-cream provides a window into the intellectual curiosity that drives his talent."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This elegant, off the Strip steakhouse offers a luxurious atmosphere and exquisite dishes, including the finest steaks from Angus filet to bone-in rib eye. The immense wine wall and cellar together contains over 1500 bottles of wine. Hours of Operation: Monday – Sunday"
"Cili promotes itself as a visual and culinary celebration of the idyllic, whimsical splendor of Bali and other far-off tropical lands."
"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."
"Sail back in time, as you go through a 17-display attractive exhibition hall brimming with curios and diversions of the Titanic. Guided via prepared performers in period dress, jump profound into 100 years of history, from the shores of England to the profundities of the Atlantic. Located into a 20,000-square-foot, this museum contains shows, ancient pieces, and full ranges of reproductions of the ship areas like the Grand Staircase, a First Class Cabin, the Verandah Cafe, and the boilers."
"Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor Hotel showcases hundreds of artifacts and realistic replicas from the RMS Titanic along with personal tales and belongings from the passengers of the ship. Visitors will see a massive 15-ton piece of the ship’s hull, amazing replicas of the ship’s Grand Staircase, the promenade deck and passenger cabins. Visitors will also see many items from the ship, its passengers and crew, like plates, jewelry, whistles, currency, luggage, etc."
"It’s been years since I last visited the Titanic exhibit, but the haunting sights have stayed with me. The exhibit transports guests to a lost world of glamour and tragedy. The artifacts are incredible, and you’ll feel both awe and empathy as you learn about the doomed ship.” –C."
"rom its location at the strip mall on Spring Mountain Road (Las Vegas' Chinatown), you wouldn't expect much. Raku is teeny-tiny inside (so call ahead, especially if you're ordering omakase), and basically unadorned, but it's bright, minimalist, and super clean—and filled with serious diners looking for a high-quality meal. The fish is the absolute pinnacle of sashimi quality, and Mitsuo Endo (a James Beard "best of the Southwest" finalist in 2014 and 2105) treats it like the treasure it is."
"Las Vegas’s award-winning Raku restaurant serves authentic Japanese cuisine on a genuine, oak “binchotan” imported from Japan. Their dishes are made from the finest quality meats, including fish that has been expediently from Tsukiji, Japan by air. Stop in and try incredible dishes such as the Kurobuta Pork Cheek, the Salmon with Ikura Oroshi, or the Agedashi Kama (fish belly)."
