20 Iconic Las Vegas Restaurants That Define Sin City's Food Scene

"While the food scene in Sin City is unsurprisingly extravagant, you really need to know where to go to experience the crème de la crème of Las Vegas dining. We consulted travel and restaurant-industry experts for their recommendations on and off the iconic Strip. From celebrity chef restaurants and historic haunts to lavish buffets and local favorites that feel like hidden gems (for now, at least), here are the best-and most famous-Las Vegas restaurants."

""The thing about dining in Vegas is there's the best version of almost anything you want to eat," says Fora travel advisor and cofounder Henley Vazquez. "One of my Vegas go-to's is Cipriani Las Vegas, which boasts incredible Italian fare (they also have Japanese dishes from the Yotto menu)," she says of this swanky eatery inside Wynn Las Vegas. "My personal fave is the baked tagliolini with ham, a cheesy, bubbly tangle of house-made pasta paired with addictive béchamel sauce and prosciutto," says Vazquez."

"For a luxurious meal, look no further than Restaurant Guy Savoy in the Augustus Tower at Caesars Palace. The Vegas satellite of the chef's two-Michelin-starred Paris restaurant offers his signature spin on classic French cuisine, with dishes that resemble works of art. A standout is the Colors of Caviar appetizer, which layers contrasting varieties of the delicate fish eggs. Ask the sommelier to guide you through personalized pairing options from the wine collection of more than 12,000 bottles."
