Top 36 Restaurants in Las Vegas Worth Your Time and Money
Morels French Steakhouse at The Palazzo made our list of favorites.
Doing a “Best Restaurants in Las Vegas” list is sort of like doing the “Sexiest Man Alive” issue of People magazine. We’ve probably missed a couple of hotties; you might think a few are past their prime; and we may even have you shaking your head in a “What-the-hell-were-they-thinking-picking-Zac-Efron?” kind of way but, hey, it’s our list and we’re sticking to it. (At least until our next trip to Vegas later this month….)
And while you can go to innumerable websites and find scrolls and scrolls of Las Vegas restaurant listings, we’re going to give you a workable, two-page printable list of our favorite Las Vegas restaurants — mostly on the Strip — conveniently arranged into different categories. We’ve even included the 36 links you need to check them out for hours, phone numbers and all the info you may need. Also, be sure to check out the most up-to-date Las Vegas dining deals and restaurant coupons at our sister site, BestLasVegasValues.com.

Love Mon Ami Gabi. Excellent food and a great place to people watch.
Next time I am there, I will make a reservation for a patio table so I can enjoy both the great view and the food.
This post is really making me anxious to visit again soon!

I can’t wait to try the new restaurants at Wynn Encore, especially Switch — the one that changes every 20 minutes. How cool is that?
But with all the new spots in town, we’ll still make time for Mon Ami Gabi and I’m with you…the patio is perfect.

I am curious about Switch also. It sounds like a “must see” at least once!

Please let us know how the servers switch outfits that often and still keep up the service.

I hadn’t thought of that angle, Bob. Would be pretty funny if some half-naked server came running to the table with your entree’. I’ll be sure to pay attention to how smoothly this operates in practice.
Thanks for pointing that out.
