Restaurants in Las Vegas
Some of the world's top dining destinations are on The Strip, with epicurean French feasts at Joël Robuchon and Picasso. Near The Strip you'll find budget selections without sacrificing quality, including Thai masterpieces at Lotus of Siam and Italian sub sandwiches at Capriotti's. Some restaurants are only open for dinner after 5pm but family/budget options mostly serve breakfast and lunch as well. It's common to add a 15% tip for good service.
Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas
Above average buffet
The concept of an all-you-can-eat buffet brings to mind trays and food kept
warm for hours on end. The Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas on The Strip couldn't be
more different, with delightful English garden surroundings and a vast
selection of food worthy of many traditional restaurants. Bustling open
cooking stations provide made-to-order delights.

Alizé
Food with a view
It's hard to say what commands more attention at Alizé - the sweeping views
from 40 floors up or the stunning French cuisine. Near The Strip, local Chef
André Rochat and his epicurean skills produce masterpieces at this
restaurant. If the green peppercorn-encrusted fillet is on the menu, make
sure you order it.

Fine food and art
Award-winning chef Julian Serrano's Picasso on The Strip is regarded as one

cuisine will stun the palette, while the walls adorned with authentic

Joël Robuchon/L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon
Cuisine worth shouting about
Famed Chef Robuchon was lured out of retirement to open his namesake
restaurants on The Strip. Winner of enough epicurean awards to fill a
warehouse, the fine French creations at Joël Robuchon are outrageously
expensive but well worth it. The more casual L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon is
slightly cheaper but the food no less special.

Austins Steakhouse
Beef lovers' paradise
Steakhouses are a dime a dozen in Vegas, usually overpriced or underwhelming,
but Austins Steakhouse in North Las Vegas hits the spot with superior
steaks/chops at prices that won't break the budget. A casually elegant
environment and great staff complete the package. Try the fillet - almost
tender enough to cut with a fork.

Mesa Grill
Tex-Mex specialities

Southwestern US cuisine but it is his quesadillas, prepared in a specially

tequila available.

Fine French buffet dishes
Designed to resemble a French countryside town, the dining room is just the
first surprise at Le Village Buffet on The Strip. The second is the food,
all fresh and finely prepared with an emphasis on regional specialities from

cap it all off.

Red 8
Asian barbecues

serves everything from Dim Sum and Cantonese noodles to Hong Kong barbecue.
The surroundings are sumptuous, with Chinese-styled black and deep red

are especially recommended.

Hash House a Go-Go
Alternative farm food
The delirious takes on American farm food at Hash House a Go-Go in West Las
Vegas are astounding in both presentation and flavour. Breakfasts with their
signature hashes, pancakes, waffles, and eggs of all kinds are the primary
lure but dinner selections are just as delicious. Portions are enormous and
meant to be shared.

Lotus of Siam
Thai spice
No less than Gourmet magazine picked Lotus of Siam, a hole-in-the-wall
joint near The Strip, as the best Thai restaurant in North America. High
praise indeed, but justified for their traditional and hard-to-find dishes
all bursting with flavour at prices that should be three times what they are
for food this good.

M&M Soul Food
Traditional southern US cooking
The southern US is renowned for its deep-fried flavours and tangy barbecue
and M&M Soul Food near The Strip is faithful to the cause. The fried
chicken, smothered in gravy, is a cholesterol watcher's nightmare but so
good you won't care. The neighbourhood is a bit dodgy at night so go during
daylight.

Main Street Station Garden Court Buffet
What buffets should be
The Main Street Station Garden Court Buffet in Downtown is one of the best
examples of the all-you-can-eat-style restaurant in town. A beautiful
garden-style dining room charms while seemingly endless varieties of food
from brick-oven pizzas to Hawaiian specialities are on offer. The fact that
it is inexpensive is merely a bonus.

Capriotti's
Subs worth sharing
The giant submarine sandwiches at Capriotti's near The Strip are packed with
fine cuts of meat and tangy seasonings; regular sandwiches will never taste
the same again. Try a traditional Italian or go for a fun option like 'The
Bobbie', emulating Thanksgiving in a roll with turkey, cranberry sauce and,
of course, stuffing.

Margaritaville
Margaritas and American food
You needn't be one of singer Jimmy Buffet's 'parrot-head' acolytes to enjoy
Margaritaville on The Strip, since the American dishes - many with Caribbean
influences - go beyond the usual theme restaurant offerings in both flavour
and value. Don't miss the margarita-spewing volcano for some fun, and the
outdoor patios for good views.
