Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Old Vegas

"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."

"When your taste buds want to be elevated to a new level at a Las Vegas seafood restaurant then an ideal place to eat is Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House. Located within the MGM Grand, this contemporary eatery has an exciting interior that features unique fish sculptures, brightly colored glass and plenty of neon. Open for lunch and dinner, award winning chef Emeril Lagasse has put together a fantastic menu that celebrates the flavors of New Orleans in his seafood creations."

"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."

"Mandalay BayBorder Grill takes inspiration from south-of-the-border, crafting a menu of unlimited shareable brunch plates for a fixed price of 39.99 per person (a few bucks less than pre-pandemic rates). Yucatan pork eggs Benedict, Peruvian shrimp and grits, and plantain empanadas lead a lineup of compelling dishes. In a town short on buffets these days, it's nice to still be able to enjoy as much (or as little) as you like."

"*Covid restrictions including masks and social distancing, limited capacity seating, and reduced capacity. Located inside Mandalay Bay, the House of Blues serves New Orleans-style food, and breakfast is served from 7 a.m."

"With colorful murals and views over Mandalay Bay Beach, this festive eatery dishes up modern Mexican fare designed by chefs from Bravo's Top Chef Masters and the Food Network's Too Hot Tamales."

"The Shake Shack located on the Las Vegas strip is a popular casual dining franchise that offers a fun atmosphere along with classic American food like burgers, hot dogs, fries, as well as delicious shakes and frozen custard. The burgers at Shake Shack are made to order and can be customized to suit even the pickiest of eaters. The food here is served relatively fast compared to other full service restaurants on the strip, so this is a great place to stop in for a bite when you’re in between seeing shows or other Vegas attractions."

"Dense, rich and creamy frozen custard spun fresh daily at the Shack!. Their vanilla and chocolate recipes use only real sugar, no corn syrup, and milk from dairy farmers who pledge not to use artificial growth hormones. Shake Shack has one Strip location, at New York, New York Hotel, known best for its death-defying roller coaster, 300-foot-long Brooklyn Bridge replica and Hershey's Chocolate World."

"Despite being relatively young, this chain has won the hearts and tummies of Americans all over the country, thanks to its high-quality ingredients. It’s basically the East Coast’s answer to In-N-Out, so if you’re a big fan of that one, you should make sure to sample this alternative as well. What to get: ShackBurger, SmokeShack, Chick’n Shack"

"The Capital Grille, a Las Vegas steak and seafood restaurant known for its relaxed elegance and exceptional cuisine, has an impressive menu of nationally renowned dry-aged steaks and the freshest of seafood as well as an award-winning wine list of more than 5,000 bottles."

"His over-the-top cake creations have garnered worldwide attention, and due to his handful of shows on TLC, Buddy Valastro is one of the most recognizable names on our list. The "Cake Boss" has given Las Vegas a cool Italian spot with Buddy V's Ristorante (try the brunch) at the Grand Canal Shoppes, but it's his Carlo's Bakery dessert shop across the hall that generates long lines of people eager to get their hands on the cream-filled lobster tails and rich cannolis."

"Shopping in las vegas strip is not complete without paying a visit to the very upscale part of City Center where Crystals is located!. It is a 500,000 square-foot retail and dining experience where you will come face with some of the most exclusive retailers in the world. Head to Wolfgang Puck or Todd English’s restaurant for a meal and end the day right!"

"The easily recognizable Crystals at CityCenter brings together couture fashion, gourmet cuisine and high-quality entertainment in an interactive and abstract 21st century park.[Learn more]"

"While the menu at Kumi follows a modern Japanese flair, there are hints of a Korean American culinary influence as well. The award winning chef Akira Back brings together these styles seamlessly in each of his signature rolls. Plus, the restaurant offers a special prix fixe menu for those interested in the Michael Jackson ONE show at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, which includes three courses and a carafe of hot sake."

"Mandalay BayThe chef is former professional snowboarder who is clearly having more than a little fun putting a Korean-American twist on a Japanese menu. Check out the Pop Rockin’ sushi roll. It includes Pop Rocks sprinkled over spicy tuna, crab, salmon, and avocado."

"This sweet and dessert shop in Las Vegas is well known for its unique collection of cakes topped with ice creams and served with espresso and drinks. You can even try the Nutella mousse and chocolate cake or the honey toast stuffed with vanilla ice cream and condensed milk topped with strawberries."

"This Vietnamese shop serves Chè (a dessert soup), coffee and teas, with the option to personalize each drink. The Bambu favorite, made with coconut milk with Pandan jelly, red tapioca and Grass Jelly and the Bambu Special, made with fresh coconut juice with Longan, basil seed, coconut meat and Pandan jelly are favored choices."
