Best Restaurants in Las Vegas (2026)

Las Vegas is one of the most varied places to eat in the United States, and the best meals are not all on the Strip. For a special occasion, Restaurant Guy Savoy at Caesars Palace offers French tasting menus, while Hugo's Cellar at the Four Queens Downtown keeps old-school traditions alive with tableside salads and flambéed desserts. The Golden Steer Steakhouse, founded in 1958, is the place for a classic steak dinner with Rat Pack history, and Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars is the modern face of the Las Vegas buffet.

Some of the city's most loved restaurants are a short ride from the resorts. Lotus of Siam on East Flamingo Road is known for its Northern Thai cooking, Sparrow + Wolf brings live-fire American cooking to Chinatown, and Esther's Kitchen in the Arts District serves sourdough, pasta and pizza. Carson Kitchen is a good Downtown choice for sharing plates, the Peppermill serves big breakfasts until late, and Tacos El Gordo is the best-known cheap eat on the Strip. Book ahead for dinner at weekends and during big events, and check whether a resort restaurant has a dress code.
