Restaurants in Las Vegas

Most of the best restaurants in Las Vegas are to be found within the hotel and casino complexes, and they each fight to sign big names to draw in the crowds. Dining choices are usually overwhelming even within individual properties, so you should have no problem finding your favourite cuisine.

The restaurants below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over $100)
Moderate ($50 to $100)
Cheap (up to $50)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one, including half a bottle of house wine or equivalent, tax and service.

There is a 7.25% restaurant tax in Las Vegas for both eat-in and takeaway purchases. The tax is normally added to the bill at the time of payment, although some buffets and fast-food chains may incorporate the tax in their prices. Service charges are unusual in Las Vegas (except for parties of eight to 10 or more); it is more usual to leave a 10 to 20% tip.

JJ's Boulangerie

Price: Cheap

This small, open French-style bakery with terrace seating serves both pastries and freshly made sandwiches. Set on the edge of a Parisian-style promenade, the bakery is a great place to people watch while sipping a cappuccino. There is also an ice cream and confectionery counter featuring various light desserts at the back of the store.

Address: Paris Las Vegas, 3655 Las Vegas Boulevard South, United States
Telephone: (702) 946 7000.

Cabo Wabo Cantina

Price: Cheap

Set inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, this two-level nightclub and restaurant replaces the highly visible location previously occupied by Trader Vic's. Offering a blend of live music and coastal Mexican fare, Cabo Wabo Cantina features traditional and contemporary selections inspired by Cabo San Lucas as well as a cocktail menu with a heavy emphasis on tequila.

Address: 3667 Las Vegas Boulevard. South, Las Vegas, United States
Telephone: (702) 785 5555.

Gonzalez y Gonzalez

Price: Moderate

With its 'fiesta' atmosphere of candy-filled piñata toys and brightly lit courtyard dining, Gonzalez in the New York-New York Hotel and Casino is probably just as popular for its selection of traditional Mexican drinks as for its food. Typical dishes include the more stereotypical Mexican dishes of burritos, enchiladas and tacos (corn or flour tortillas filled with a choice of meat, vegetables and a spicy sauce).

Address: 3790 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, United States
Telephone: (702) 740 6455.

Delmonico Steakhouse

Price: Moderate

Emeril Lagasse's offering at the Venetian Hotel delivers New Orleans-style cuisine that emphasises the finest in American-style cuts of meat. From bone-in ribeye steak to Delmonico chicken-for-two carved tableside, every dish is personally designed by Emeril, and bears his signature style. The traditional oak-wood surroundings are formal yet intimate, which sets a perfect atmosphere for those attending to serious business.

Address: 3355 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, United States
Telephone: (702) 414 3737.

Chart House

Price: Moderate

Part of the Rush Tower development at the Golden Nugget Hotel, Chart House is immediately striking, with its 75,000 gallon aquarium integrated into the interior design. The menu is also predominantly aquatic in nature, with macadamia-crusted mahi and Lobster Francese heading up the signature dishes. The tropical fish floating around among the tables make for a relaxing atmosphere, a world away from the frantic casino downstaurs.

Address: 129 Fremont Street, Las Vegas, United States
Telephone: (702) 386 8364.

Twist

Price: Expensive

Situated on the 23rd floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is the first U.S. restaurant by world-renowned, three-star Michelin Chef Pierre Gagnaire. The menu infuses the simplicity of classic French cuisine with a modern spin, relying on a pairing of flavors and textures for which Gagnaire is renowned. 300 illuminated globes light up the ceiling, reflecting the lights of Vegas below.

Address: 3752 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, United States

Le Cirque

Price: Expensive

It has stood for 30 years as a temple to gastronomy for the New York City dining scene, though its sister location inside the Bellagio has garnered an equally vaulted reputation. Restaurateur Sirio Maccioni brings a touch of the ringmaster to this jewel that sits along the lake overlooking the Fountains of Bellagio. The set menu is served underneath a silk-tented ceiling that accents the polished wood interior. Reservations required. No lunch.

Address: 3600 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, United States
Telephone: (702) 693 7223.

Joel Robuchon at The Mansion

Price: Expensive

The first and youngest chef to ever win three Michelin stars, Robuchon's restaurant at the MGM Grand does not come cheap. It does, however, serve up the best French food in North America according to many critics. Sophisticated palates will enjoy an onslaught of flavours, with many ingredients flown in from France. A true, once in a lifetime dining experience.

Address: 3799 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, United States
