The Best Places to Eat in Las Vegas, by the Record


  1. One kitchen has a comal turning heirloom Oaxacan corn into tortillas; another steams dumplings. José Andrés planted this casual restaurant inside The Cosmopolitan on the premise that Chinese and Mexican cuisines belong together, and the menu doesn't argue the point so much as demonstrate it with antojitos, dim sum, noodles, and ceviche sharing the same table. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks for a room that eats this well without the formality.



  2. Rank 104. Hakkasan

    Cantonese






  3. Rank 109. Fisher's Deli

    NY-Style American



  4. Rank 111. Gritz Café

    Southern



  5. A slice counter at the entrance means you can be in and out before the circular bar crowd even finds a seat. Pizza Rock is a big, loud, rock-and-roll pizza shop spread across multiple rooms, with booths for two and communal tables for everyone else. The menu runs several regional styles, and the staff can actually explain the differences. Named among 50 Top Pizza USA's excellent pizzerias, it draws a crowd that didn't want to eat on the Strip.



  6. The reservation line forms before doors open, which tells you everything about the temperature of this contemporary Indian restaurant inside the Aria. The room is all velvet and low light, the service is composed, and the kitchen pulls from street-food traditions without being precious about it. Curries are built for sharing and arrive bold enough to hold the table's attention, even by Las Vegas standards.


  7. Northern-style chicken pho is the organizing principle at this Vietnamese restaurant tucked into a Chinatown strip mall, where the room is bright, spacious, and runs on a boisterous pop soundtrack. The menu is long and ordered by QR code, but the chicken pho, with its fragrant broth and springy noodles, is the reason most people show up. Boba drinks and a full bar keep things lively after the bowls are cleared.


  8. Dim sum carts still roll through this cavernous Cantonese dining room inside the Gold Coast casino, just off the Strip, which is its own kind of statement. The open kitchen turns out roast duck and walnut prawns alongside the steamed, baked, and fried parade from the trolleys. The lotus-wrapped sticky rice bundles and XO fried rice rolls are the ones to flag down. A full Cantonese menu runs all day for anyone who wants something more substantial.


  9. Rank 118. Balla Italian Soul

    Coastal Italian



































  10. Rank 152. Alchemy Coffee

    Mediterranean Coffee Shop







  11. Rank 152. Gäbi Coffee & Bakery

    Korean Coffee Shop


  12. Rank 152. Gjelina

    California Mediterranean


  13. Rank 152. HaSalon

    Israeli Middle Eastern

    The menu at this Israeli fine dining room lists a dish as "Horrible Hammer smashing herbs and flowers on meat," which tells you everything you need to know about the energy here. Chef Eyal Shani's Las Vegas outpost pulls from Tel Aviv by way of Japanese and French technique, but the real point is that dinner turns into a dance party, and the tile-and-warm-wood room is built to look lived in just enough to make table-dancing feel earned.





  14. Rank 152. Osteria Fiorella

    Refined Italian
