1. Top of the World
Number one on our list is the restaurant at the very top of The Strat’s observation tower. From this height, you’ll get an unparalleled view of the city of Las Vegas and the mountains beyond. The dining room revolves 360 degrees every 80 minutes, allowing you to admire the view in every direction while enjoying your meal.

Their mouthwatering signature dishes include a Grand Seafood Platter, Beef Wellington, and Roasted Rack of Lamb. Toast to your Las Vegas experience with a glass of fine wine while being waited on with impeccable service.
3. Rivea
Internationally acclaimed Chef Alain Ducasse’s Las Vegas restaurant sits on the 64th floor of Delano Las Vegas. The building’s location on the South Strip gives it a majestic view of the Las Vegas Strip to the east and Red Rock Canyon to the west. The prime time to make a reservation for is dusk, when the city’s neon lights are just coming on.
At Rivea, you’ll dine on French Riviera cuisine, which melds together the bold flavors of Italy with the refined tastes of France. The upscale renditions of classic French Rivera street food including Crispy Socca (chickpea crepes) and Maple Leaf Duck Breast are designed to be enjoyed as shared small plates. Rivea’s exceptional tasting menu includes several of the restaurant’s most loved dishes, while its impressive wine list is carefully curated to complement the menu.
4. Lago
This sumptuous Italian restaurant at Bellagio is brought to you by Michelin-starred Chef Julian Serrano. Lago sits right on the edge of the resort’s landmark lake, which, every 30 minutes, erupts into the spectacular water display of the Bellagio Fountains. You’ll have a front-row seat as you enjoy your meal on the breezy outdoor patio.
Lago’s exquisite menu consists of elevated Italian classics, including antipasti, pizzettas, and pasta alongside a selection of fresh seafood dishes and prime cuts of meat. We highly recommend trying the Beef Carpaccio and the restaurant’s famous Smoked Salmon Pizzeta. On the weekends, Lago offers a fabulous brunch.
5. Vetri Cucina
The industrial-chic dining room of The Palms’ Vetri Cucina features floor-to-ceiling windows offering a sweeping 180-degree view of Las Vegas. This award-winning Italian restaurant has a classy atmosphere with unique design elements that remind us of a penthouse loft, and is located on the 56th floor of the hotel.
James Beard Award-winning Chef Marc Vetri has created a menu of delectable dishes inspired by his travels in Italy. The cuisine at this Las Vegas restaurant includes favorites from Vetri’s Philadelphia flagship location, which is often considered one of the best Italian restaurants in the country. Vetri Cucina offers an a la carte menu as well as an amazing 6-course tasting menu.
6. Voodoo Steak
The 50th floor of Rio Las Vegas offers one of the best views of the Las Vegas Strip from just west of the action, and this is where you’ll be sitting when you dine at Voodoo Steak. The upscale steakhouse has a hip, modern atmosphere and you’ll get to take in the iconic views while you enjoy your meal.
The Cajun-inspired steak and seafood menu includes signature dishes like dry-aged Wagyu ribeye, lobster bisque, and an impressive seafood tower. For an after-dinner treat, we highly recommend the dessert fondue experience. If you still feel energetic after such a delicious dinner, head upstairs one floor to Voodoo Lounge, Rio’s rooftop nightclub.
7. Allē Lounge on 66
While Allē Lounge on 66 is technically a lounge, they do have a small menu of amazing cuisine and an undoubtedly majestic view of the Strip from 66 stories up. The sophisticated elegance of this place makes it almost as stunning as its glittering vistas from floor-to-ceiling windows.
Located at Resorts World Las Vegas, this stylish lounge serves a selection of fine and rare spirits, handcrafted co*cktails, and a super-impressive wine list (think a page-long list of champagne choices alone). The menu of globally-inspired small plates includes Wagyu Beef Sliders, Big Eye Tuna Crudo, and Brown Butter Lobster Rolls.
8. Top of Binion’s Steakhouse
So far, all of the restaurants on our top 10 list have been located on or around the Strip, but this one is located in Downtown Las Vegas: what’s known as the “old-school Vegas”. Top of Binion’s Steakhouse exudes old Las Vegas glamor with vintage décor straight out of a classic movie and has one heck of a view of the city from the 24th floor.
Top of Binion’s Steakhouse serves fine steaks cut in their in-house butcher shop and charbroiled on an open flame. Their menu is quite large with many delicious dishes to choose from, and the portion sizes here are huge. Signature dishes include the Cowboy Steak (a 24 oz bone-in rib eye), North Atlantic Lobster Tail Dinner, and Scottish Salmon.
9. Scarpetta
With a prime Las Vegas location at The Cosmopolitan that directly overlooks the dancing fountains of Bellagio, Scarpetta has several other locations in US cities and London. These restaurants have made a name for themselves for their understated elegance and their modern Italian cuisine.
The pasta at Scarpetta is made fresh in-house daily with the highest quality ingredients. Start with the Royal Osetra Caviar before savoring the Squid Ink Tagliatelle or Champagne & King Crab Risotto. A 6-course tasting signature menu is available until 9 pm each night.
