Las Vegas is firmly on the map as a culinary juggernaut with the most complete collection of world-class restaurants, making the destination one of the best cities in the world to dine out. We’ve selected several extraordinary places to eat at right now, with some indulgent dishes you can’t experience the same way anywhere else. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s eat. 

1. PISCES Bar & Seafare at Wynn Las Vegas

Executive chef Martin Heierling’s new restaurant is an impeccable choice for seafood lovers looking for a memorable night out. Heierling is a globally recognized chef who has guided restaurants in several high-profile hotels including Bellagio and Vdara, and who won the prestigious HAT Award from the Good Food Guide. 

Enjoy Italian coastal dishes and fish sourced daily from the Mediterranean and nearby waters, along with creative cocktails (try the Sun Sign spicy margarita, served in a pufferfish glass). The restaurant is set against the spectacular Lake of Dreams, where tranquil waters come to life nightly in a multimedia experience. Vibrant puppetry, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and an engaging soundtrack provide an unforgettable background for any guest. 

The glamorous interior design is equally inspiring, from its handmade Italian mosaic chandeliers and marble flooring to the fish-inspired leather chairbacks. A lavish raw bar sits in the center of the restaurant featuring 400 overhead Murano glass orbs, a tribute to the glassmakers of Venice. The exquisite details, both in the look and feel of the restaurant and its menu offerings, will have you setting sail for an adventurous culinary evening.  

And, of course, the food itself is innovative, from the wagyu beef carpaccio with pine nuts and truffles to the spicy lobster spaghettini. 

2. Golden Steer near the Las Vegas Strip 

Less than a half mile from the Strip, this ritzy, plush steakhouse was once a favorite of well-known entertainment icons like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.  

An iconic Las Vegas restaurant that has been open since 1958, Golden Steer features a divine interior, highlighted by its dark wood paneling, signature red-leather booths and dim lighting that create an opulent and sophisticated experience for diners. The décor offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of the city’s past.  

The walls are adorned with vintage photographs and memorabilia, and gilded mirrors contribute to its vintage charm. Along with gold-rimmed plates and cutlery, the servers all wear tuxedos. A must-order is its legendary Caesar salads, which are prepared tableside from scratch for each diner, and is a hallmark of the fabled restaurant. 

Its choice, prime cuts of beef are accentuated by the largest baked potato you’ve ever seen. Golden Steer is a must for anyone looking for an old-school Vegas steakhouse feel. 

3. The Mayfair Supper Club at Bellagio 

Inspired by top supper clubs around the world, you’ll take a trip back to the classic eras of Las Vegas and New York City, where entertainment was always part of the menu and every meal was also a chance to indulge in an adventure.  

With antique décor and the backdrop of the fabulous Fountains of Bellagio, the ambiance is a callback to the Golden Age, so dress to the nines and break out your most dapper sportscoat or classy, elegant gown. Singers and dancers highlight a stage show that evolves as your enchanting evening progresses.  

On Fridays and Saturdays from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., the club transforms into Mayfair After Dark, a high energy, late-night lounge experience. Enjoy stellar performances and magnificent food and cocktail presentations as you dance the night away.  

Classic elevated American cuisine, including caviar, sushi, prime rib and filet mignon, is always on the menu. Note: Children under 12 are not permitted into the club. 

4. Hard Hat Lounge in Downtown Las Vegas 

Renovated and restored in 2022, this longtime downtown staple is a vintage Vegas bar, restaurant and live music venue, as well as a popular venue for local hospitality industry workers.  

Catch live jazz every Monday and bust out your vocal cords on Wednesdays for karaoke excitement while you enjoy a comforting neighborhood atmosphere. 

Hard Hat Lounge is open 24/7, and whether you’re enjoying afternoon cocktails or late, late-night beverages, the two daily happy hours from 2-5 each day (a.m. & p.m.) feature $4 well drinks and $5 draft beers, while you enjoy the Stay Tuned smash burgers, tots and other comfort foods.
