The foodie’s guide to Las Vegas

Vegas calling? Get the inside scoop on where to eat in Sin City.

Las Vegas may be famous for its casinos and entertainment, but the city also packs a punch when it comes to eateries. Here Blogger and Vegas fanatic Victoria Brewood tells us why Sin City is a foodie heaven and lists her favourites places to eat when she’s in town.

Las Vegas. Sin City. The Gambling Capital of the World. Whatever you like to call it, Las Vegas exists for entertainment - it’s a place to eat, drink, play and have as much fun as humanly possible.

Every time I catch sight of the desert landscape as my plane lands at Las Vegas McCarran, I get butterflies.

I love the sight of the neon lights and the sound of people playing the slot machines. Las Vegas is my Disneyland. Since my first visit I’ve been going back every year.

And you don’t have to be a gambler to love it, as there are so many things to do, from large shopping malls and amazing restaurants, to epic pool parties and dazzling shows. It also happens to be a foodie heaven, with countless eateries from Michelin restaurants to casual late night diners.

Here are some of the Vegas eateries I love the most.

Mon Ami Gabi at Paris Hotel & Casino has a lovely terrace overlooking The Strip, making it one of the few Las Vegas restaurants to have outdoor seating. It’s perfect for people watching over a Parisian-style breakfast.

No trip to Vegas would be complete without a visit to a buffet. And The Buffet at Wynn is really quite something thanks to the décor - flower sculptures beneath a beautiful glass atrium.

Serving Italian tapas plates by award-winning chef Julian Serrano, Lago at the Bellagio has a beautiful outdoor terrace with views of the Bellagio fountain show. This is also a great spot for Sunday brunch.

Not all your meals have to be eaten on The Strip - there are lots of restaurants outside of the hotels, too. Tacos & Beer is a place to get your fix of Mexican food paired with a choice of 20 beers on tap.

Aureole at Mandalay Bay was one of the earliest additions to the Las Vegas strip and has become well known for its wine angels, who fly up into the air to collect your wine for you from a four- storey tower.
