What we looked for

On the Strip the big hotels are the restaurant row, and each of these six has a table worth planning an evening around. In 2026 the first MICHELIN Guide Southwest gave a star to é by José Andrés at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and to Restaurant Guy Savoy at Caesars Palace, and Forbes rates Wing Lei at Wynn Las Vegas Five-Star.

Location decides the rest. The Cosmopolitan, Bellagio and Caesars Palace sit around the Bellagio fountains, so dinner at a neighbour is a walk rather than a taxi, and The Venetian Resort Las Vegas is just to the north. Wynn faces The Palazzo and The Venetian across Sands Avenue. Fontainebleau Las Vegas, at the north end, is a taxi ride from the centre, with two chef-led tables of its own. Book the dinner that matters when you book the room, and budget for the extras: menus are priced before Clark County's 8.375% sales tax, and a tip of 15 to 20% is expected at a sit-down meal.

Wynn Las Vegas

North Strip, Las Vegas

Wynn Las Vegas has 14 restaurants of its own, and three are worth planning a trip around. Wing Lei is a gold and jade dining room looking onto a garden of century-old pomegranate trees, where Chef Tam Kwok Fung of the two-star Chef Tam's Seasons in Macau directs Cantonese, Shanghainese and Sichuan cooking, and the Imperial Peking duck, carved beside you, is the dish to order. It holds a Forbes Five-Star rating, and its star in Michelin's first Las Vegas guide, for 2008, was the first for a Chinese restaurant in North America. It serves dinner Thursday to Monday.

SW Steakhouse has the patio at the edge of the Lake of Dreams, with the show every half hour from dusk, and Mark LoRusso, here since the 2005 opening, dry-ages cuts in house. Delilah is a 1950s-style supper club with singers and musicians through dinner and a late menu until 1am from Thursday to Saturday.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

Center Strip, Las Vegas

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas stacks 14 restaurants and its bars above the casino, and é by José Andrés is the one to plan for. Behind a glass door off Jaleo, nine seats surround a steel-topped counter for a long tasting menu of Spanish avant-garde cooking, played for wit and surprise by José Andrés's team. It won a MICHELIN star in the first Southwest guide, in August 2026, with seatings at 5.30pm and 8.30pm from Tuesday to Sunday. China Poblano, a Bib Gourmand, is the everyday table: one open kitchen turns out dumplings and noodles, another tacos on Oaxacan heirloom-corn tortillas.

Then comes the drinking. The Chandelier pours a different menu on each of its three levels inside two million crystal beads, with the most inventive cocktails on Level 1.5 from 5pm to 2am. Late at night, a hidden pizzeria serves slices.

Bellagio

Center Strip, Las Vegas

Several of Bellagio's twelve restaurants face the lake. Jean-Georges Vongerichten's PRIME Steakhouse has been here since the resort opened in 1998, a chocolate-brown and Tiffany-blue room down an escalator from the casino that opens on to a garden patio for up to 80 at the water's edge, facing the fountains. Order the tableside smoked bacon or the 36oz porterhouse. LAGO and Spago face the fountains too, and so does The Mayfair Supper Club, with live performance.

Michael Mina, cooking here since the opening and under his own name since 2004, is in the MICHELIN Guide's 2026 Southwest selection: a raw bar, phyllo-crusted sole, Maine lobster pot pie and a seasonal ten-course tasting menu, in a pale wood room with an open kitchen. During the autumn display it also runs The Garden Table, dinner inside the Conservatory itself. Mornings start at Sadelle's Café beside the Conservatory, from 6am on weekdays.

Caesars Palace

Center Strip, Las Vegas

Caesars Palace has both ends of Las Vegas dining under one roof. Restaurant Guy Savoy opened in 2006 and is still the chef's only restaurant outside France, up on the second floor of the Augustus Tower, away from the casino, with trolleys of Champagne, bread and cheese doing the rounds. The dish to order is his artichoke and black truffle soup with toasted mushroom brioche. The list runs past 2,800 wines, the Krug Chef's Table serves nine courses, and the first MICHELIN Guide Southwest gave it a star in 2026.

Bacchanal Buffet is the other end: more than 25,000 sq ft, ten kitchens and more than 250 dishes, from prime rib and smoked brisket to dumplings, lobster and crab claws at dinner and crêpes made to order. Between the two are Peter Luger, Nobu, Bobby Flay's Brasserie B and Amalfi, two Gordon Ramsay rooms, Café Americano around the clock and Dominique Ansel's bakery, with the Cronut from 7am.

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas: A gondola on the Grand Canal under a painted skyThe all-rounder

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas

Center Strip, Las Vegas

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas counts more than 40 restaurants across The Venetian and The Palazzo, and the MICHELIN Guide's 2026 selection includes Bouchon, COTE and Estiatorio Milos. Thomas Keller's Bouchon has been here since 2004, a Parisian room of blue velvet banquettes and wood-panelled columns on the tenth floor of the South Tower, with steak frites, escargots and oysters at dinner. Brunch is the reason to come, from 8am on Thursdays and from Friday to Sunday, for the crab Benedict and the crème brûlée.

COTE comes from the team behind New York's COTE, the first Korean barbecue restaurant to hold a MICHELIN star: prime, dry-aged and A5 Wagyu beef cooked at the table on smokeless grills, with a wine list past 1,200 labels. For the hours between, Grand Lux Cafe never closes, the Via Via food hall serves breakfast from 7am, and Bouchon Bakery has croissants and coffee from 6am.

Fontainebleau Las Vegas

North Strip, Las Vegas

Fontainebleau Las Vegas has two chef-led tables worth planning a night around. At Mother Wolf, Evan Funke's Las Vegas sister to his Hollywood restaurant, about 185 seats are given over to Roman cooking alone: carbonara, amatriciana, gricia and pasta al burro made with the pasta he is known for, thin pizzas from the wood oven and seasonal antipasti. Funke also gives the occasional pasta class here, with lunch and wine to follow.

Cantina Contramar, the first Contramar in the United States from Gabriela Cámara, opened on 28 March 2026 in a room by Frida Escobedo: bright Mexico City seafood and plates for the table, with Casa Dragones tequila flights at the bar. Around them are two steakhouses, La Fontaine's French brunch with a 90-minute endless champagne option, and the Chez Bon Bon patisserie, which never closes.

Questions people ask

Good questions about Las Vegas

Which Las Vegas hotels have a MICHELIN-starred restaurant?

Of our ten, two: é by José Andrés at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and Restaurant Guy Savoy at Caesars Palace each won one star in the first MICHELIN Guide Southwest, in 2026. é is nine seats at a counter, with seatings at 5.30pm and 8.30pm from Tuesday to Sunday and tickets released three months ahead. Guy Savoy serves dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, 5pm to 9pm, in business attire. China Poblano at The Cosmopolitan holds a Bib Gourmand, and Michael Mina at Bellagio, Wing Lei at Wynn Las Vegas and Bouchon and COTE at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas are in the guide.

Do you need to book restaurants in Las Vegas hotels?

For the tables that matter, yes. é at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas releases tickets three months ahead, so book the day your dates are fixed. Book Restaurant Guy Savoy at Caesars Palace ahead, and a time for Bacchanal's weekend brunch rather than queue. At Wynn Las Vegas, book SW Steakhouse and ask for the patio. At The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, book Bouchon's weekend brunch, and at Fontainebleau Las Vegas a weekend table at Mother Wolf.

Is breakfast included at Las Vegas hotels?

Not in the standard rates at these six, so check what yours includes. Wynn Las Vegas adds a $50 daily breakfast credit to Tower Suites rates sold at full price. Otherwise the day starts early: Sadelle's Café beside Bellagio's Conservatory, from 6am on weekdays, Bouchon Bakery at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, from 6am every day, and Eggslut at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, from 7am. Café Americano at Caesars Palace never closes, and Vida at Fontainebleau Las Vegas serves breakfast from 7am.

How much should you tip at restaurants and bars in Las Vegas?

Brand USA, which runs the official Visit The USA site, suggests 15 to 20% for a sit-down meal and 10% at a buffet, and at a bar $1 a drink or 15 to 20% of the tab. Restaurants may add a service charge for groups of six or more, so read the bill before adding your own. Prices are shown before tax: Clark County's sales tax of 8.375% is added at the till.

Can children eat at Las Vegas hotel restaurants?

Yes, though some of the best rooms set an age. Wing Lei and SW Steakhouse at Wynn Las Vegas take no children under five, and Delilah none under 12, with 21 and over after 7pm. Cantina Contramar at Fontainebleau Las Vegas takes children from five. At The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas children may cross the casino only with an adult, and Nevada law bars anyone under 21 from gambling or loitering where gaming takes place. Smoking is banned in restaurants, even inside casinos.

How did you choose these hotels?

Independently, through extensive research, trusted sources and first-hand visits. Hotels cannot pay to be included, and every one of the ten has to exist for a different reason.
