"Chef Kerry Simon has established a destination restaurant with his Carson Kitchen in Downtown Las Vegas. The modern gastropub is serving twists on standard dishes like the gyro tacos pictured above. Stylish and sleek, the late Chef Kerry Simon’s Carson Kitchen is proof of Downtown Las Vegas continuing renaissance."

"Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s massive restaurant outside of Caesars Palace brings the excitement and energy of its namesake show to the Las Vegas Strip. Prior to opening Hell’s Kitchen, Ramsay already operated four restaurants in Las Vegas, but this one is by far the most opulent. The menu features plenty of Ramsay luxuries, such as beef Wellington, truffle lobster risotto, and sticky toffee pudding."

"Yardbird feels like a combination of honky-tonk and family dining room, which is the perfect atmosphere for its Southern food. They're most well-known for their fried chicken, which is amazingly juicy. Food is served on platters that make for easy sharing."

"A modern take on Southern comfort means shared plates, craft cocktails, critically acclaimed fried chicken, and an ideal place for brunch or dinner."

"The Peppermill Fireside Lounge is as Vegas as Vegas gets: With an over the top, neon-lit, flaming pool, plush romantic booths, and fabulous food. Its central location on the Strip, inside Somerset Shopping Center, means that it is easily accessible no matter where you are staying, so treat yourself with a truly Vegas breakfast. Indulge with one of their huge omelets with hash browns, English muffins, toast or a hot lemon-cranberry or blueberry muffin, or everyone's favorite - Munches' breakfast with sautéed peppers, onions, linguica sausage, tomatoes and mushrooms, served with three eggs, cheddar and Jack cheese, with toast or an English muffin."

"The Peppermill Restaurant & Fireside Lounge is one of my favorite restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip. This iconic diner, located just north of the Venetian near Resorts World and Circus Circus, dates back to 1972. Its unique old school interior featuring mirrored ceilings, bright purple and blue upholstered booths, fake trees, and neon lights is worth the visit alone."

"In-N-Out is a burger place that hasn't strayed far from its roots as a basic drive-thru hamburger restaurant. The succinct menu is all about the burgers--you won't find chicken sandwiches or salads at In-N-Out. You also won't see the "secret" menu that In-N-Out devotees find so exciting: options like "protein style," with the patty wrapped in lettuce, or the most popular choice, "animal style," with pickles, extra spread, and grilled onions."

"This West Coast favorite is the one burger joint to cross off your bucket list. While the double-double cheeseburger is a guaranteed hit, tap into the secret menu: Get your burger Animal Style and even your fries, which includes special sauce, grilled onions and gooey melted cheese. It’s a three-way tie with the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry shake so choose wisely… or all three."

"Rachel’s Kitchen is a local chain restaurant that has several locations in Las Vegas, including one in the Montecito marketplace, one in Summerlin, and one in The Ogden in downtown Las Vegas. Rachel’s Kitchen is a perfect destination for health-conscious brunch seekers, as its menu offers plenty of healthy and delicious options for breakfast food, such as steel cut oatmeal, fresh fruit salad, and delicious fresh veggies on their omelets and scrambles. Rachel’s Kitchen at The Ogden is open from Monday to Saturday, from 8am until 3pm, and serves breakfast all day."

Must-orders include Nobu's yellowtail with jalapeño, artichoke salad, Japanese snapper with dry miso, and rock shrimp tempura with creamy spicy sauce."

"Not if you find one in a shopping mall at home but if you are in Las Vegas do not dismiss them entirely. The food court at Caesars Palace has a slew of low budget options from around the globe from pizza, to halal, to crepes, to Chinese."

"If you’re craving Jamaican food, Jammyland can provide—with a stylish and funky patio space to boot!. In the heart of Las Vegas’s Arts District, this Caribbean kitchen and bar offers mostly outdoor dining flanked by two bright murals (and some indoor seats when it gets too hot). Finish off a round of pepper pot sliders or jerk wings with tangy and rich cocktails like the Hocus Pocus (tequila, watermelon, lime, and rose cordial) or the Hotel Nacional (white rum, lime, and roasted pineapple syrup)."

"Jammyland brings a Jamaican-inspired bar to the Arts District filled with rum cocktails such as the Golden Misfit withh Bounty Gold St. Lucian Rum, Bitter Truth Golden Falernum, fresh lime, Liquid Alchemist Passionfruit Syrup, and Angostura bitters or the Smart Move, a rum punch with Bounty Premium dark aged rum, lime, hibiscus, pineapple, and Creole bitters. Sit out on the patio when the weather permits."
