The best restaurants in Las Vegas on the Strip and beyond

What is it? Miami’s farm-to-table Michelin-starred restaurant lands in Las Vegas with a stellar tasting menu.  

Why we love it: Top Chef season 13 champion Jeremy Ford’s affordable tasting menu ($145 per person) is a welcome addition to Resorts World. The menu changes seasonally with the vegetable-forward meal coming with proteins like Japanese yellowtail, duck or Wagyu beef—all artfully plated with swipes of sauces that appear like a painter’s brushstroke and airy foams. A wine pairing is available for $70. 

Time Out tip: An à la carte menu is available at the bar, where guests can grab everything from oysters ($30) and iberico ham fritters ($22) to a double wagyu smash cheeseburger with smoked beef bacon and crispy onions ($28). 

Address: 3000 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Bar & Lounge, Daily 4–10pm; Main Dining Room, 5–10pm

What is it? A fine dining Indian restaurant in the Town Square shopping center. 

Why we love it: Sometimes you find gems where you least expect them. Tamba is a prime example. What chef Anand Singh has created is already attracting notice and could receive Michelin recognition when inspectors arrive later this year. His innovative dishes, such as kimchi butter oysters and his seasonal twists on Indian classics, are showstoppers, and the fact that he uses a wok, tandoor, Josper charcoal oven, and mangal grill means many surprises await. 

Time Out tip: I’m always intrigued when I see octopus on the menu and Tamba’s charred version with cauliflower purée, beetroot and chaat aioli is worth a visit alone. 

Address: 6671 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119

Opening Hours: Daily 5pm–10pm

What is it? A seafood-driven restaurant from chef José Andrés at the Shops at Crystals.

Why we love it: Bazaar Mar scours the ocean for the world’s freshest fish and seafood. On the menu, diners will find bluefin tuna sashimi with quail eggs, Ora King salmon carpaccio and a crudo with Hokkaido sea scallops. For a grand tour, try the Bazaar Mar Experience ($175) or José’s Creative Experience ($235) tasting menu to sample the best Bazaar has to offer.  

Time Out tip: Slip into Bar Centro on the mezzanine downstairs for casual bites. It’s a Spanish bakery and coffee bar by day, serving sandwiches and sweets before transforming into a cocktail lounge with street snacks, caviar and desserts during the early evening.  

Address: 3720 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89158

Opening hours: Sun–Thu 5–9pm; Fri, Sat 5–10pm

What is it? A fine-dining, French tasting menu from a Michelin-recognized chef. 

Why we love it: When Guy Savoy opened his namesake restaurant at Caesars Palace, he joked about being “imported” to America and laughed about how his Las Vegas restaurant had one thing none of his famed Parisian ones did: a view of the Eiffel Tower. Sure, it’s a twinkling replica, but it’s a nice backdrop when you’re staring at A5 Japanese Wagyu beef and lobster on your plate. The restaurant offers a Forbes 5-star celebration menu ($500 per person, $800 with wine pairing), a Prestige menu ($1,000 with wine) and à la carte options with Savoy’s legendary Colors of Caviar ($105) and artichoke and black truffle soup ($100) available separately. And with 12,000 bottles of wine, you won’t leave thirsty. 

Time Out tip: The restaurant has its own valet entrance, so you won’t have to slog through the casino to get there.

Address: 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Tue–Sat 5–9pm

What is it? A spacious, clubby, Michelin-starred Korean BBQ with a stellar wine list.

Why we love it: Cote may have made a name for itself in other cities, but the Las Vegas location at the Venetian is a super-sized version with more bells and whistles. Terraced seating gives diners an elevated view as servers prepare melty Wagyu on smokeless tableside grills. For a premium experience, opt in on the omakase menu ($225), which features higher-quality Japanese A5 cuts.  

Time Out tip: Don’t expect a quiet night out. Cote brings the party with a DJ spinning tunes from an elevated booth. 

Address: 3355 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Sun–Tue 5pm–11pm; Thu–Sat 5pm–midnight

What is it? Fresh fish and seafood from a two-time Michelin restaurant vet. 

Why we love it: Capturing the vibe and energy of Tokyo’s Golden Gai district in the Shinjuku neighborhood, Wakuda’s entrance of bright neon and glowing lanterns gives way to a modern dining room featuring stone and wood surfaces and Shohei Otomo’s large ballpoint pen canvases. What awaits inside this restaurant at the Palazzo is Michelin-recognized chef Tetsuya Wakuda’s delicate menu of fine sushi, Ora King salmon, soft shell crab and grilled meats. 

Time Out tip: Want to really treat yourself? Make a reservation to dine in the exclusive eight-seat omakase room and indulge in the nine-course menu ($300) while savoring rare Japanese whisky and small-batch sake.

Address: 3325 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Daily 5–11pm

What is it? A neighborhood Mexican cafe with healthy options and handmade tortillas. 

Why we love it: Milpa is best known for its masa making—turning roughly 150 pounds of dried corn into tortillas daily. Tucked into those tasty tortillas are everything from beer-battered mahi-mahi, asada steak, barbacoa, and, our favorite, the juicy birria, priced between $5-6. There are also two veggie tacos, featuring cauliflower or mushrooms, and several healthy harvest bowls ($14-$16) that include ingredients such as chickpeas and quinoa. Another must is the tetelas: triangle masa pockets stuffed with either cheese and beans or creamy squash and served topped with eggs ($16). 

Time Out tip: With just about 30 seats, Milpa’s menu is geared for takeout. Order online for pickup. 

Address: 4226 S Durango Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89147

Opening hours: Mon–Sat 8am–9pm; Sun 8am–5pm

What is it? Upscale Indian restaurant that has earned two Michelin stars at its London location. 

Why we love it: There is a reason Londoners fell in love with Gymkhana as we did following our first bites. Of course, the live peacocks at the grand opening added more intrigue. Gymkhana specialties include mince quail kebabs and tikkas such as Goan salmon or chicken roasted over charcoal in a tandoor clay oven. But aside from favorites like tandoori masala lamb chops, the Vegas outlet has a few firsts—beef dishes like a naan filled with spiced wagyu mince and short rib stir-fried with South Indian spices and coconut. Signature cocktails include a green spicy mezcal margarita.  

Time Out tip: Save room for dessert. Two standouts are the cardamom-infused rice pudding with figs and chikoo ice cream, and a Mango Rasmalai – sweet milk dumplings with mango and cardamom milk and mango foam topped with rose petals.

Address: 3730 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89158

Opening hours: Sun–Thu 5–10pm; Fri, Sat 9am–10:30pm

What is it? A throwback supper club with live entertainment accompanying dinner. 

Why we love it: When supper clubs came back into vogue in Las Vegas, Delilah set the bar high. Inspired by the old Vegas dinner-and-a-show concept, the stylish Art Deco room is designed to feel modern while retaining a retro vibe, enhanced by nightly jazz performances throughout dinner service. Delilah’s menu is heavy on steak and seafood. Diners will find beef Wellington for two ($190), Australian spiny lobster tail ($225) and caviar service.

Time Out tip: Delilah offers a special late-night menu with items such as shrimp cocktail, spicy BBQ chicken tenders, yakitori skewers, and Korean street tacos, priced from $20 to $60.

Address: 3131 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Daily 5:30–10:30pm; late-night dining: Thu–Sun 11pm–close

What is it? A chic, cozy space where Cantonese cuisine shines.  

Why we love it: Fontainebleau’s Chyna Club marries a French Art Deco design with the flavors of East Asia. Request a table in the red room, which resembles a vintage study, and prepare for some Cantonese flair. The Peking duck, carved tableside, is among the best in Las Vegas to the point that there is even an entire tasting menu dedicated to showcasing it in a variety of ways. Other signatures include spicy Mongolian-style Wagyu with white asparagus, drunken ginger chicken and crispy walnut prawns.  

Time Out tip: The Chyna Club is closed every Monday and Tuesday, so you may want to adjust your itinerary to ensure you can visit for a meal here. 

Address: 2777 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Wed–Sun 5:30–9:30pm

What is it? A luxury seafood experience with bow-tied servers and views of the Bellagio fountains. 

Why we love it: Just like the Picasso and Renoir paintings that grace the walls, Carbone Riviera prides itself on the art of seafood. A lot of care goes into plating dishes here. Examples being the whole sea bream that seemingly swims on the plate or a somewhat deconstructed two-pound lobster on a bed of fettuccine. Its location on Lake Bellagio is also a star, even if you don’t get a chance to cruise around it on the restaurant’s 33-foot yacht.   

Time Out tip: The best seat in the house is on the patio. Be sure to reserve in advance to enjoy the fountain show with your meal. There is a minimum spend of $175 per person, but honestly, that won’t be a problem here. 

Address: 3600 Las Vegas Blvd S., Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Sun–Thu 5pm–10:30pm; Fri, Sat 5pm-11pm; Sun 5pm–11pm

What is it? A standalone steakhouse and whiskey lounge on the north end of the Strip. 

Why we love it: There’s something to be said about an unpretentious steakhouse that doesn’t go out of its way to try to impress you but just does everything right. That’s Mae Daly’s. Here, it’s all about the beef, and Mae’s has four types of steak to choose from, from grass-fed and American Wagyu to wet or dry-aged. These rock star cuts run from $79 for an eight-ounce filet mignon to $175 for a porterhouse meant for two. Once you settle on your steak, pair it up with a lobster tail ($46) or a chilled seafood tower. Oh, and bacon lovers won’t want to skip the $35 bacon tasting: five meticulously prepared flavor-packed ways to enjoy America’s favorite breakfast staple. 

Time Out tip: Located across the street from the Strat, Mae Daly’s features free valet parking.

Address: 2211 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89104

What is it? Soulful, neighborhood Italian restaurant with an incredible weekend brunch. 

Why we love it: Sometimes you just need comfort food and perhaps nobody is doing it better right now than Nudo Italiano. The Southern Highlands restaurant offers fresh takes on Italian classics at prices that bring some locals in multiple times a week. We’re talking solid wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, pan-roasted Mediterranean sea bass with eggplant purée, and housemade pastas like pappardelle with veal ragu. Nudo’s weekend brunch has some carryover items, but we gravitate toward the three-egg Benedict, short rib hash, and tiramisu pancake.  Be sure to order the “spaghetti and meatballs” for dessert. It’s a fun cheesecake topped with raspberry sauce, chocolate meatballs and white chocolate shavings that the kids will love. 

Time Out tip: Visit for social hour (Mon–Thu 4pm–5pm) for $9 pizzas and $4 craft beers. 

Address: 4390 W. Cactus Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89141

Opening hours: Sun 10am–2pm, 4pm–9pm; Mon–Thu 4pm–9pm; Fri 4pm–10pm; Sat 10am–2pm, 4pm–10pm 

What is it? An ode to classic French food with a delightful brunch. 

Why we love it: The weekend brunch at Bardot inside ARIA has become a Vegas institution. Chef Michael Mina has created a menu and experience that attracts as many locals as it does visitors. The brioche French toast with vanilla mascarpone and almond brittle is enough on its own to return, but the short rib hash and quiche are just as popular. You can also order a variety of croissant Benedicts topped with either ham, smoked salmon, blue crab or avocado. 

Time Out tip: For more Mina, book the Garden Table at the Bellagio for an intimate dining experience in a gazebo in the middle of the botanical display.

Address: 3730 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Opening hours: Tue–Thu 5–10pm; Fri, Sat 9am–10pm; Sun 9am–2pm; brunch Fri–Sun  9am–2pm
