In Las Vegas, dinner isn’t just about the meal. From innovative dishes crafted by celebrity chefs to tableside presentations that are almost performance art, the destination offers one-of-a-kind culinary delights. And whether you’re watching aerialists soar overhead while you eat or you’re sitting in a fully immersive, themed environment, Las Vegas can turn any meal into a show, the likes of which you won’t find anywhere else. Welcome to the place where cuisine and spectacle collide.
Brunch Experiences That Are Uniquely Vegas
You haven’t seen what a brunch can truly be until you’ve had the LAVO Party Brunch at The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. It’s a daytime club scene/brunch all rolled into one, with pulsating music, dancers and a giant brunch board that’s a must-try. It’s a full nightclub vibe during weekend brunch hours.
For a more relaxed, sophisticated experience, spend your brunch gazing at the serenity of the Bellagio Conservatory at The Garden Table. Enjoy a three-course meal in an intimate group setting (a maximum of six guests for brunch), inspired by each season of the year. The Garden Table can also be booked for dinner, with a maximum of four guests.
The Gospel Brunch is a Sunday staple at the House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. Served buffet style and featuring Southern-inspired favorites, it features a rotating cast of local gospel, R&B singers and performers belting out traditional and contemporary gospel songs.
Immersive and Intimate Experiences
For a memorable night of luxury and opulence, dine at the exclusive Krug chef’s table at Restaurant Guy Savoy inside Caesars Palace. Enjoy fabulous French fare in a nine-course meal at the only Krug table in North America, where two to six people can enjoy a live video feed. You’ll see views of the kitchen where camera angles can be adjusted to see four different cooking stations. Amplify your evening with premium wine pairings for an unparalleled evening of divine tastes.
Seeing isn’t always believing. Allow your other senses to guide you at BLACKOUT Dining in the Dark, where you’ll enjoy a seven-course prix fixe “secret” menu — total darkness. Night-vision-wearing staff members will guide you to your seat and assist you as needed as you dine on seasonal, international flavors, with wines paired to each course, all in a distinctive sensory-driven experience.
Tantalizing Tableside Presentations
Las Vegas has several restaurants that serve you up close and personal. At Four Sixes Ranch Steakhouse inside Wynn Las Vegas, the tableside peach Melba is always a star attraction. It’s flambéed with brandy and brandied Yorkshires all on a custom-antlered trolley. While dining in this ranch-style atmosphere, you can also enjoy a 40-ounce tomahawk steak from Wyoming’s Grazing Star Ranch carved tableside.
In Downtown Las Vegas, enjoy elegant tableside flair at Andiamo Steakhouse inside the D Las Vegas. Along with serving premium American steaks and classic Italian favorites, they’ll also carve up Caesar salads, flaming cherries jubilee and tomahawk steaks right before your eyes, and all are delivered with plenty of sizzle and showmanship.
Turquoise carts carrying shellfish and caviar are delivered to your table at Bourbon Steak inside Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas, adding another dimension to its surf and turf offerings. Along with an upscale dining ambiance, Bourbon Steak includes an exceptional beverage program featuring a vast assortment of wines and spirits. For additional entertainment, you can enjoy live music on Saturdays in the lounge from 6:30-9:30 p.m.
It’s not technically tableside, but you’ll want to take a few steps to the counter at Omakase Kyara Sake Bar to see its lavish tuna cutting. Knives, a saw and even a samurai sword are part of the ritual of dicing up the fish at this Japanese eatery, about 5 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip. Besides, where else can you take a shot from a giant tuna head?
And for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, Papi Steak inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas offers an outlandish cart and beef case presentation. It’s a full show as a display of hanging meats and a case containing a flaming steak is brought directly to your table, with pulsating music and flair from the waiting staff. Papi Steak also has live DJ sets nightly beginning at 6:00 p.m., creating a high-energy, truly Vegas atmosphere.
Dinner and a (Only in Vegas) Show
Where else would you expect to find unrivaled entertainment while you eat? Check out the opulent vibe at The Mayfair Supper Club at Bellagio, a venue that you can witness live jazz, singers, and dancers right from your seat as they perform around a theatrical stage. Many seats also offer views of the Fountains of Bellagio, adding another stunning view for guests.
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas’ Superfrico is half restaurant, half house party, where Italian-American dishes are accompanied by roaming Spiegelworld performers, surprise acts and an all-vinyl DJ, keeping the mood lively all night long. Venture through its bars, lounges and dining rooms for a night out like no other. And for a true dinner-and-show experience, join The Party, a three-course meal in a boutique dining room featuring select performers and the Circus Automaton — a distinctive, coin-operated mechanical toy theater.
Take a step back in time at the elegant Delilah at Wynn Las Vegas. Sip on creative cocktails deep into the night as you’re immersed in live music, DJs and other performances in this modern-day supper club inspired by Las Vegas’ earliest showrooms in the 1950s. Phones aren’t allowed, adding to the intimacy of the atmosphere.
Step inside Bar Zazu inside Resorts World Las Vegas and enjoy live music from 6:00-9:00 p.m. in an upscale and cozy atmosphere. The walls feature digital artwork showcasing “The Ladies of Zazu” that change while you eat, adding to the unique ambiance. The menu is stacked with sharable plates inspired by the flavors of Europe, as well as a diverse offering of creative cocktails.
Stunning Views You’ll Only See Here

At Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, you can sit outside and overlook the iconic gondolas outside The Venetian Resort Las Vegas anywhere from its 52-seat patio. Dig into traditional American fare taken to massive proportions, from its award-winning burgers to the signature milkshakes.
