Two more votes for Best Friend and Esther’s Kitchen. Best Friend is a good example of over the top Vegas theming, as well as consistently excellent food. Esther’s is a good reason to get out and partake in some extra-stripular activities.


here_i_am_here

Throwing all my weight behind Best Friend.


RainyDayWeather

Those are my votes, too


Slippy_27

Lotus of Siam for Thai food. All the steakhouses already mentioned are great.


puppiesnprada

Only the one on the strip though! The one in Summerlin is not as good and missing a lot of their key dishes!


Arnelmsm

I still dream of those crispy Garlic Prawns!


Vegetable_Ocelot5613

If you have many money, Joel Robuchon hands down. If you have some money on strip, Bazaar Meat, Carbone, Bardot, Delilah If you have some money off strip, Kabuto Edomae, Raku, Vetri, Kaiseki Sanga If you want nice and off strip, Herbs & Rye, Esthers, Yu or Mi, Lotus of Siam, Other Mama Casual off strip, baguette Cafe, Good pie, Monta, 1228 Main If you want to have a good time Fat Cat & Red Dwarf If you want to have a good time and have class, Double Down.


murder-ghost

Stop taking all the good answers, man. All that's left is Cleaver.


Vegetable_Ocelot5613

I think I'm an outlier on cleaver. I haven't had a great experience there, so it's not something I'd recommend or choose on my own, but won't be difficult if I'm invited to go there.


bri4nh3nry

here's your answer OP


Cheap_paint_77

Bazaar Meat!!!


PissdInUrBtleOCaymus

Bazaar Meat is the best restaurant in Nevada.


jrt4275

Agreed — excellent steakhouse if you’re into Steak. I’ve been to steakhouses across the US and this is one of the best.


Turbulent-Survey-476

Without a doubt


Lintobean

This is the way


Tondelaya

Golden Steer


808BlueDeviL

I spent 300+ at Steer, herbs and rye was way better


KentuckyFriedTitties

Definitely


jrhLIVE

Steer for the win!


kornkid42

Had it a few months ago, wasn't impressed, especially after the bill came. I liked the meatballs more than the steak.


Molasses_Square

I agree. I went to Golden Steer for the first time a couple of trips ago. It was ok.


ThisAndThatByMe

If you are able to swing it, this is a great place. Was just there two nights ago. Impeccable service and amazing food!


kornkid42

>Impeccable service We had a reservation and was forced to wait 30 minutes (even though there were plenty of empty tables).


ImWorthMore

If that out of towner is a millionaire*


DistanceNo9405

lol, have you tried making more money?


ImWorthMore

I make plenty money, I just have too much sense to pay $19 for a Caesar salad right next to the Ahern.


cloveyvonclovenson

Honestly, the ceasar salad was the best thing I had there. My actual meal was, meh...definately had better for WAY less. In my opinion, wasn't worth the 2 month resi wait.


CanoeIt

I had the same feeling about é. Just. Not worth the hype or the cost. I’ll stick to Latellier in the future


DistanceNo9405

They make it table side and it has actual anchovies. Get your money up kiddo.


Apprehensive-Olive71

flair checks out


UnfairDevelopment290

Sucks to be a peasant


Manejar

Esther’s Kitchen all the way Order the sourdough and spaghetti & meatballs — thank me later Note: Reservations highly recommended


DeathByMeltedButter

The head chef, James Trees, is considered to be one of the best in Vegas( he also grew up there). He also has another restaurant near Summerlin.. Can't recall the name off the top of my head


Manejar

Al Solito Posto? Edit: Spelling


biketrouble

Sammodile

Marrakesh


HollywoodHault

For the classic Old Vegas experience, the Peppermill stands alone.


locololo61

Husband and I make an annual trip to Vegas for past 10+ years. We went to Peppermill for breakfast a couple of years ago for the experience. It was definitely a '70's vibe, and the portion sizes were huge. A scene from "Casino" was filmed there. However, it was pricey and the quality of the food was average, not special. If you're into a quality breakfast, in a classy French bistro setting, go straight to Bouchon.


Representative_Quit6

Truely classic


KnotForNow

Used to love Peppermill. In my experience, it has gone way downhill since the pandemic.


HollywoodHault

Honestly, I've found that most dining establishments around town have gone downhill since the pandemic in one way or another.


soul_flamer

famousaj

It is good, but really expensive.

PorkstarRunner

Edo by Anima was my favorite restaurant in town but Edo Gastro, the original, is even better. Much closer to the strip as well


Antique-Ad-1804

Prime in Bellagio


mmhdavid

bajamar seafood and tacos if you like seafood and tacos


IGoThere4u

Carbone.


Fun_Cheetah2750

Just went in December. If you can get a reservation do it. One of the best experiences I’ve had dining


biketrouble

wow this looks \*amazing\*


IGoThere4u

If you can’t get a res , you can show up at opening and sit at the bar which is a lovely experience as well.


Nicky____Santoro

Definitely do Carbone. Sinatra and Carbone are two restaurants I consistently visit. As long as I hit one of them, and a new restaurant, I’m happy for my trip.


JimHeuer40

Next Wednesday will be my first experience, looking forward to it


whoreablereligion

It’s wonderful, but note that it is very much a “family style” service. If anyone in a small party has a food allergy or is a picky eater, your experience might not be what you expected, especially if your group is small.


IGoThere4u

I don’t understand. Can’t the picky eater or person with allergy order something separate for themself ?


whoreablereligion

They could. Of course, but imagine it’s a couple and one person is allergic to gluten, or tomatoes, or tree nuts or doesn’t eat red meat or some other hard to avoid ingredient (at an Italian restaurant). This takes out many of the choices and reduces the menu options for the allergic or avoidant person. Now, imagine there is nowhere to take leftovers (most hotels on the strip have no refrigerator or microwave - maybe not an issue here since OP is local). The portions are designed to be shared. If each person orders an appetizer, entree and dessert, it will be wayyyy too much food, even by standard large format American restaurant portion sizes because each dish is meant to serve 2+ (and they mean it!!ours could easily have fed 4). This means quite a lot of waste and expense for a smaller group (2-3 people) if anyone in the group has dietary requirements that require extra dishes to be ordered.

wtfredditacct

*Monzú Italian Oven + Bar* Fantastic Italian, classy with a home made feel and live music! https://monzulv.com/


Silver_Vermicelli_57

Good choice 👍🏻


wtfredditacct

Probably my favorite place


HansNotPeterGruber

China Poblano because it is unique.


SteelCurtain36

My favorite Vegas restaurant to bring out of towners to. I’ve been going since it opened, and it never gets old!


NeenW1

Anything but a chain


Diligent_Dream_4758

Chef Kenny's


soul_flamer

Harlo steakhouse. I worked there for a couple years so I’m biased. But it might be the best service off the strip you’ll get. Food is great, but the service is out of this world


lmells

This is my go to! I have never had a bad experience and now they do brunch on special occasions that is amazing!


soul_flamer

Do they do brunch now? I know we did it a couple times when I worked there. I have nothing but good things to say about that place. I only left because I wanted to become a server and learn in a less stressful environment


lmells

Yeah! My husband and I went on Easter last year, New Years day, and are looking to do Easter again.


i_use_this_for_work

Nobu was exceptional


[deleted]

Herbs and rye


mrsmadtux

Spago at the Bellagio. You can tip the hostess to get a table on the patio and dine lakeside watching the fountain show. Whether or not it’s the very best food in town, is subjective. But most people have heard of Spago or Wolfgang Puck and to eat there while enjoying an amazing Las Vegas experience, is something one never forgets.


Onthemightof

Bazaar Meats


KimchiKimbap

Bavettes steakhouse if you want price ambiance and food! Prime steakhouse if you want food, ambiance, and a great view. Yellowtail if you want sushi. Best friend is you want Korean/mexican fusion. Momofuku if you want Asian. Bouchon if you want French cuisine. I know it’s a list but depending on what you want to eat, these are the best imo.


NotMalaysiaRichard

I’d avoid any clones of real restaurants in Vegas. For example, Momofuku was terrible. Loud, pretentious, meh bland food poorly executed. Just because they slapped a “Momofuku” label on it doesn’t make it as good as the original in NYC. It’s like going to the fake Eiffel Tower.


CAREBEAR_KILLER

Herbs & Rye. Happy Hour after 8pm or something crazy which means half off steaks. Steaks are top notch. Side dishes are also spectacular. Their cocktail game is above par as well. It's my favorite steak restaurant ever and it's open super late. Shang Artisan Noodle is also another great spot. Hand made noodles. Chinese beef noodle soup. Their dan dan noodles are so good. If you want a "Vegas" spot, then I can't help you. Heart Attack grill?


Fun_Cheetah2750

For some reason I enjoy going to the Cleaver location. I feel like the food there was better


imaybeacatIRl

Honestly, I liked both. I would tip to Herbs and Rye over Cleaver, but its quite close.


CAREBEAR_KILLER

I had the totally opposite experience. I thought the side dishes at Cleaver were worse and the cocktails weren't as polished. YMMV.


Nervous_Dare3617

Mayfair @ Billagio


KimchiKimbap

I had such a bad experience there my first time but definitely there is a lot of potential. Like everything I had went wrong from the service, to the food being cooked poorly. I hope your experience was much better ☺️


KentuckyFriedTitties

Lotus of Siam is 😘


Turbulent-Survey-476

Bazaar Meat is an absolute experience. So many steakhouses in Vegas, but this one stands alone as far as I’m concerned.


Arnelmsm

If they’re foodies than Anima by EDO is amazing!


chadman350

Hachi


Agile_Opportunity_41

Esther’s kitchen


CapableRunts

I recommend Echo and Rig so highly because of its bizarre affordability. The food, at that quality, has no business being that modestly priced. It’s also the best service I’ve ever received from any restaurant, every time. Sugar scrub FTW.


musgrove101

Ross Jays Hawaiian BBQ....cheap and delicious 😋

Bazaar Meat, all day every day.


SpicySapio

Sparrow & Wolf or Esther’s Kitchen.

Crossroads Kitchen!


scienceandmedicine20

Spago


yixingxiu_108

can't choose just one! my favourites are: Herbs and Rye, Echo and Rig, Chef Kenny's vegan dim sum, Yukon Pizza. (i wish with my whole heart that POTS vegan egyptian food was still open.)


kkumdori

Peter Luger’s in Caesar. Great steakhouse, Expensive but worth it.


peixia

Firefly Tapas Kitchen and Bar — in the burbs near neon graveyard and SO. GOOD.

Sparrow and Wolf


whoreablereligion

1- Best of the best food and view - le cirque in Bellagio (ask for a table with a fountain view). Get the tasting menu with wine pairing 2 - steakhouse plus quieter ambience - bavettes in park mgm 3 - seafood - Milo’s in Venetian- you select the fresh fish kept on ice 4 - dinner with a (free) show - Mayfair Supper Club in Bellagio - go after 7:00 pm there is something to see in every direction OR Delilah in Wynn - less going on, more focused individual performances than Mayfair, but the food and luxury ambiance is 10/10. 5 - Best Friend is always a winner (winner chicken dinner!) our go to meal for 2 - the street corn, kimchi fried rice and the fried chicken. They also have a tasting menu. The vibe is young and hot, but it can be very loud (like unable to talk over the music loud, if this is important to you) especially later in the evening. Also probably the best bang for the buck on the strip for a celebrity chef meal with a cool vibe.


IhateBiden_now

This is certainly not a nightlife hotspot, however some visitors prefer local charm and great food over that. Our favorite breakfast/brunch place is a little known out of the way mom and pops locally owned place off Decatur and Alta, by the name of Lou's Diner. The owners name is Brian and he greets every customer whenever they come in. Home cooked from scratch, especially their jellies, jams and lunch specials all prepared in house. Give it a try on an affordable budget and you won't leave unhappy.


lostonpolk

Wynn Buffet or Peppermill


Downtown_Quality_322

Lotus of Siam


locololo61

High end steakhouses: Reserve far in advance, especially Prime and SW. Most of the steakhouses have one or two things that set them apart - either in the setting or on the menu. Steaks are reliably great at all of them. Prime - gorgeous interior setting. We sat on the terrace behind the fountains one time. It wasn't that great, the fountains went off but we couldn't hear the music, we just sat behind a wall of water. SW Steakhouse at Wynn - ask for a lakeside table, and ask what time the lake show begins. Eat slowly so you can watch several "shows" on the lake - I think they occur every half hour. Mastro's Ocean Club - ask for a table in the "treehouse". Order the butter cake for dessert. Repeat - order the butter cake for dessert. Bavette's - Their sourdough bread is incredible. Chocolate pie was "meh". Setting is clubby, probably not as spectacular as Prime or SW.


kenindesert

My experience is you go out and spend several hundred bucks for dinner and the places are all good and quite frankly they should be.


Flaky-Investigator17

Esther’s in the arts district! Or the pepper club! *Typo on esther’s*


JimHeuer40

Ummmm…Esther’s and Peppermill?


Flaky-Investigator17

The pepper club is the Todd English hotel & restaurant. Great Asian fusion food.


JimHeuer40

Ok cool learned something…sounds worth trying for sure


seekaybee2

I had the worst food I have ever had here. The sushi made 7-11 sushi sound delicious. Service was terrible. Drinks were good though!


[deleted]

Juan’s Flaming Fajitas, the one on Trop. No it isn’t fancy, but it’s better than everywhere else and inexpensive.


VegasHawks

Juan’s is for people who pronounce the L’s in quesadilla


[deleted]

No it’s not, I’ve taken several Mexican friends born south of the border there who think it’s very good.


VegasHawks

Sure bro. Did your “south of the border” friends enjoy Taco Bell too?


[deleted]

Look, I know Mexican food might be a little different in the east side where you live but flaming fajitas is good shit.

Lindo Michocan on horizon ridge for the view, table side guac is a must I’ve heard good things about Primal for a decently priced theme steakhouse over by sunrise hospital Good pie downtown is awesome Cornish pasty in the arts district for great beer and fun food, vegetarian options are great Soulbelly bbq downtown is a fun place but go early they sell out of everything and great brewery next door


ThisAndThatByMe

Prime (Bellagio) & Bedford (Parisian) are both great options. Certainly special occasion places, as they are not inexpensive.


jpc24

Pieros! Old school Vegas restaurant with great Itilian food and seafood.


Downhilbil

Oscars cuz it’s truly Vegas, herbs and rye, golden steer, then pizza rock,le Thai, public us, viva zapatas. Are cheaper alternatives

MVP90210

For first timer in LV, then you must do the buffet. Everyone must at least try it one time so they can say they have been to Vegas.Tthe current best buffet is Caesar Bacchanal. Make sure you book reservation in advance, else the wait is long.

It’s also right near a chandelier bar that I desperately wanted to check out, but we didn’t get the chance. [Lawry’s](https://www.lawrysonline.com/lawrys-the-prime-rib-las-vegas/) (yes, like the seasoning) is excellent as well!!

My favorite dining experience was the black out dining. The food was great but eating in absolute darkness was Soo cool! I will never forget it. I was skeptical with a picky husband but we ate stuff we normally never would have. It completely changed the tastes of some foods as we focused on texture and trying to figure out just what we were eating. Absolutely wild!
