• Best Strip Restaurants: Restaurant Guy Savoy is a legend in Paris and this offshoot is just as stellar. A second choice? Estiatorio Miloswhich serves impossibly fresh Mediterranean seafood.
  • Best Downtown Restaurants: The gourmet-yet-cool The Kitchen at Atomic, and the funky, homemade-style Mexican dishes at La Comida prove that the dining scene in Downtown has arrived.
  • Best Off-Strip Restaurant: Sparrow + Wolf is a 10-minute drive from the Strip, but the eclectic American fare with plenty of global flavors, and creative, on trend cocktails have even visitors from around the world stopping by for a meal.
  • Best Comfort Food:  The heaping portions of classic American comfort food at Hash House A Go Go (in The Linq) will satisfy even the most ravenous of eaters, while the eclectic mix of Korean, Mexican, and American down-home fare at Best Friend will charm the most jaded.
  • Best Theme Restaurant: Generally speaking, we think theme restaurants are overpriced tourist traps, but Hell’s Kitchen lets you feel (and eat!) like you’re on the set of Gordon Ramsay’s TV cooking competition of the same name.
  • Best Steakhouse: The Vegas staple restaurant is alive and well in the hands of modern chefs like José Andrés, whose Bazaar Meat celebrates the one thing that matters in a steakhouse: the meat. One of the stars of the show is the open kitchen with its wood-fired grill in the center of the dining room, surrounded by a butcher counter showcasing huge cuts of meat. The only better look you’d get of that beef is if you were face to face with the cow itself.
  • Best Cheap Meal: Flock & Fowl serves one of the quintessential Asian comfort foods—Hainanese chicken rice—in the cool backdrop of Downtown Las Vegas.
  • Best Splurge: Food should not cost as much as it does at Joël Robuchon at the Mansion and the slightly less expensive sibling L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, but a few bites of the exquisite cuisine will make you understand why it does.
  • Best Buffets: It’s expensive, but the Caesar's Palace Bacchanal Buffet serves high-quality food worthy of tablecloths and candlelight. Bargain hunters, however, won’t need to sacrifice quality at the Main Street Garden Court Buffet.
  • Best Hamburgers: Holstein’s grinds it out at the Cosmopolitan, putting out really inventive burgers such as the Gold Standard, topped with bacon, goat cheddar cheese, and tomato confit. Not into beef? Not to worry, they’ve got pork, turkey, and veggie burgers to suit everyone. Plus some killer milkshakes.
  • Best Desserts: An off-shoot of the NYC original restaurant, Black Tap is known for its Instagrammable and enormous milkshakes. We think the Brooklyn Blackout shake is not just wacky looking, but also the best treat in town on a hot Vegas day.
  • Best Views: You can see the entire city, and big chunks of southern Nevada, from the revolving Top of the World, situated more than 800 feet up the Strat Tower, while at Rivea, at the top of Mandalay Bay, you get a virtually unobstructed view of the Strip and delightfully crafted Mediterreanean-inspired cuisine that may make you forget the vista entirely.
  • Best Breakfasts: Don't let long lines at the cheekily-named Egg Slut deter you. We didn't think egg sandwiches were worth the wait until we came across these bad boys.
