The 38 Best Restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip
Casa Playa. | Casa Playa The best places to eat on and immediately around the Las Vegas Strip, including steakhouses, Italian, sushi, and Chinese food Welcome to the Eater 38, the answer to any question that begins, “Can you recommend a restaurant?” This group of essential restaurants covers the entire city, spans myriad cuisines and price points, and collectively satisfies all dining needs, from where to go for a reliable quick bite to Las Vegas’s best splurge meal. Each quarter, the list is updated to include restaurants that have newly become eligible (restaurants must be open at least six months), those that have reshaped their approach in a significant way, and others that reflect the culinary dynamism that Las Vegas and its surrounding suburbs have to offer. Eater’s editors, who are constantly eating out and checking in with restaurant industry insiders, compile this list every quarter to update it with the essential restaurants you need to know about in this moment. In this latest refresh, we’ve revamped our write-ups to include even more relevant info for diners, including a rough range of pricing for each destination — ranging from $ for quick, inexpensive meals with dishes largely under $30, to $$$$ for places where entrees exceed $150. Las Vegas is one of the greatest culinary cities in the country right now — with more talent than ever flooding just a few square miles with award-winning chefs, big ideas, and food that is as memorable as the restaurants themselves. As such, the latest update of this list focuses its attention to the Las Vegas Strip and the can’t-miss restaurants found there. Some destinations veer just off the Strip — a ride of no more than two(ish) miles from Las Vegas Boulevard — half the distance of Strip’s length. As such, off-Strip favorites Gritz Cafe, Moia Peruvian Restaurant, Pizza Rock, Carson Kitchen, Yukon Pizza, Main St. Provisions, Stay Tuned Burgers, Herbs and Rye, Rollin’ Smoke, Kaiseki Yuzu, Other Mama, Shang Artisan Noodle, Milpa, Anima by EDO, Aroma Latin Cocina, Yui Edomae, Trattoria Nakamura-Ya, and Vetri Cucina have exited the list. New entrants include Chyna Club, Sinatra, the Buffet at Wynn, Casa Playa, Diner Ross, Oyster Bar, Wakuda, Ito, Miznon, NoMad Library, Bouchon, Double Zero, Momofuku, Bar Centro, Ocean Prime, Dominique Ansel Marché, StripSteak, Crossroads Kitchen, Sadelle’s and Bavette’s Steakhouse join the list.
