Dinner 800 feet above the Strip — the highest restaurant in Vegas
Sitting atop The STRAT Tower at 800 feet, Top of the World is the highest restaurant in Las Vegas. The dining room slowly rotates 360°, giving every table a complete panoramic view of the Strip, downtown, and the surrounding desert. Come for the views, stay for a surprisingly solid American menu.
Elevated cocktails above the Strip — no casino required
Perched on the upper floors of the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas, this sophisticated bar sits above the mid-Strip with sweeping views and a refined atmosphere that feels worlds away from the casino floor below. The cocktail program is serious, the crowd is calm, and the views are exceptional.

Hidden GemCasual & LocalVegas's best-kept secret — since 1979

A carnivore's paradise from culinary genius José Andrés. Whole roasted suckling pig, A5 Wagyu, and theatrical tableside preparations make this the most memorable steakhouse experience in Vegas.
A Vegas institution since 1972 — open 24 hours
The Peppermill is one of Las Vegas's most beloved originals. The retro-glam interior, glowing fire pits, and enormous portions have made it a local institution for over 50 years. The Fireside Lounge is one of the most atmospheric bars in the city — a true Vegas original that no tourist guide can do justice.
The best value meal in Vegas — locals swear by it
Just off the Strip, Ellis Island is the ultimate locals' secret. Their house-brewed beers are excellent, but the real draw is the steak special — a full dinner with soup, salad, bread, and a beer for under $15. It's been the same deal for decades and it's still the best value in Las Vegas.
Cult FavouriteCasual & LocalThe breakfast queue worth every minute
The LA cult favourite landed in Vegas and the queues haven't stopped. The Slut — a coddled egg on potato purée in a glass jar — is the most Instagrammed breakfast in the city.
