TOP RESTAURANTS IN LAS VEGAS

The dining scene is also fed by the city’s melting pot of cultures and relative affordability. Here is a list of restaurants that locals and tourists like to visit.

Old Soul (Downtown)

Old Soul is the most recent restaurant by chef Natalie Young, a pioneer of off-strip dining. The menu features American classics such as fried oysters, peas, and carrots dolled up with dill creme fraiche, and a shockingly good meatloaf.

Golden Steer (Downtown)

Golden Steer is the perfect emblem of the Rat Pack days of old Vegas. ining here is an experience from another era where tuxedoed waiters — many of whom have worked there for years — gracefully toss Caesar salads and flambé cherries jubilee or bananas foster tableside.

The Sand Dollar Lounge (Chinatown)

A classic blues joint just west of downtown, the Sand Dollar Lounge opened in 1976 and has hosted musical legends like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Mick Jagger. Beyond the music, locals love it for the restaurant’s crispy, thin-crust pizza, including vegetarian and vegan options.

Edo Tapas (Chinatown)

EDO Tapas (pronounced ee-dee-oh — restaurant shorthand for “extra day off”) is a restaurant industry favorite. Diners will appreciate the rolling gin cart and adventurous diners can order the chef’s tasting menu for the entire table, which comes with a vegan option.
