Las Vegas has more to offer than just slot machines and roulette wheels. In a city famous for gambling and nighttime entertainment, Las Vegas also has world-class dining. From steaks and chops to seafood and sandwiches, this city offers satisfaction for every palate. Choosing the best among many fine restaurants is not a simple task, but this list represents ten of the best eating establishments in the city.
Enjoying a hearty, delicious meal does not have to cost a fortune. Las Vegas is lucky enough to have two of the best sandwich shops anywhere. Capriotti's has several locations throughout the city and is a local favorite, with good reason. The subs are simply heavenly and are piled high with meat. The Italian sub is scrumptious beyond words. The clear winner among locals is the "Bobbie" sandwich. This sub consists of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo. It is like having Thanksgiving year-round.
Another option for tasty deli sandwiches is Hougan's Racing Sandwich Shop.
Try the Philly cheese steak or the burnout sandwich, made with pastrami, Swiss cheese, pickles and special sauce. You cannot go wrong with either of these establishments, and for convenience, both of these sandwich shops deliver. You will not be disappointed.
If a thick, juicy steak is what you crave, head to Delmonico Steakhouse in the Venetian Hotel and Casino. The atmosphere is to die for, and the service is pampering, yet professional. This restaurant is owned by super-chef Emeril Lagasse, and the dishes boast his signature "essence" flavoring. Everything on the menu is wonderful, but the ribeye steak is a standout. Other noteworthy options are the Australian lobster tail braised in white wine, and for dessert, the sinfully rich caramel crème brûlée served with gingersnap cookies.
Morton's the Steakhouse is also considered one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. They prepare a wonderful crab meat cocktail that is a real headliner, and the chops are seared to perfection.
The decor in Nobu, which is located in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, is upbeat and vibrant. But it is the food that keeps diners coming back. Although Nobu is on the expensive side, it has some of the best sushi around.Try the lobster tacos and the snow crab sushi.
With an extensive menu, King's Fish House has something for every seafood lover. This place has the best chowder in town, and the wild Ecuadorian mahi mahi is a must.
The city's best Mediterranean cuisine is served at Khoury's. Choose from gyros, kabobs and fresh-baked breads with a homemade taste. The laid back atmosphere and friendly service makes this a great place to bring the whole family.
Whether you are looking for Chinese take-out or delivery, Baidu Chinese Bistro has everything needed for a top-of-the-line feast. The General Tso's chicken and sesame chicken have an authentic Asian taste. For a change of pace, try the braised duck and a shot of sake.
What top ten list would be complete without a burger place and a pizza joint? To satisfy your appetite for everyone's favorite food, run to Metro Pizza. There are several locations throughout the valley. This pizzeria has delicious baked pasta, Chicago style pizza, buffalo wings and succulent desserts.
The Burger Bar in Mandalay Bay has the best burgers in town. Each burger is totally unique, because patrons build their own. All toppings, condiments and even a choice of bread are entirely at the diner's discretion.
