Lobster ME

3377 South Las Vegas Blvd | The Strip | lobsterme.com

As a (metaphorical) oasis in the middle of a (literal) desert, you may find yourself wondering just what business seafood - particularly that seafood which thrives in the open sea - has in a city like Las Vegas. Once you lay your eyes (and taste buds) on the lobster here at Lobster ME, though, we have a feeling you’ll change your tune.

With the abbreviation for Maine in their name, we have a pretty good idea that the first thing you’d expect to find here would be lobster - even if that wasn’t also in the name! All of the lobster they use in their dishes is imported directly from their fishing boats on the Maine waters to ensure that you’re getting the freshest lobster possible.

To take things one step further, the folks who bring in the fresh seafood for Lobster ME don’t just scoop up any old lobsters. They’re patient, waiting until the perfect time of year to scoop up lobsters of the perfect age to ensure the best possible flavors.

“Food is phenomenal!!! I ordered the Connecticut Lobster Roll with extra meat! OMG soo good! Clam chowder was tasty as well! Whenever we are in Vegas & staying  at the Palazzo/Venetian I always make it a point to come here.” - Yelp Review

Trattoria Reggiano

3355 Las Vegas Blvd S | The Strip | trattoria-reggiano.com

Most of us have an idea of what the traditional Italian meal looks like: pasta, perhaps some chicken, and most definitely something involving tomatoes are probably the first things that come to mind as far as what you might see featured on a menu goes.

The truth is, though, that those ingredients that make up the base of many Italian meals barely even begin to scratch the surface of everything that goes into a traditional meal. Italians are all about their family and friends, making sure to pour as much love as they can muster into every dish. 

On top of that, you’ll likely find that those Italian staples you’re so familiar with actually probably change throughout the year, depending on what’s available in the local produce growing near an Italian cook at that given time.

Trattoria Reggiano doesn’t just provide you with the basics of Italian fare that you’re already familiar with - they prefer to take things one step further by bringing authenticity to the forefront of every dish they prepare. Here at Trattoria Reggiano, you’ll find dishes prepared with love and the freshest ingredients possible.

“Best! Everything at this restaurant was delicious. Highly recommended reservations. The staff is very proper and friendly, the food is phenomenal and the drinks are on point.” - Yelp Review

PrimeBurger

3355 Las Vegas Blvd S | The Strip | venetian.com

There’s nothing wrong with a classic burger, but what’s the point of making a trip out to Vegas if you can’t dress up that burger you’ve been craving to match the outlandish outfits of street performers you might see along The Strip?

If you’re looking for a good gourmet (or as they like to call it, boutique) burger to inhale before you attend one of the many phenomenal shows around Las Vegas, look no further than PrimeBurger, located inside The Venetian.

Their burger recipes are inspired by flavors from all over the world - which means no matter what kind of cuisine you’re a fan of, you can probably find a burger here that’s been infused with the flavors of that part of the world.

Even more enticing: they’re burgers are so juicy that you’ll probably want to forgo the stack of napkins altogether and just opt for a bib to catch your drippings instead. There’s nothing more all-American than a delicious burger, and nothing quite beats the burgers here at PrimeBurger!

“The burgers are big, and juicy.  So juicy in fact that I had to eat mine with a fork and knife so I didn't get dirty...lol!  Plus, the customer service is great too.” - Yelp Review

Grand Lux Cafe

3355 Las Vegas Blvd S | The Strip | grandluxcafe.com

If you’re a fan of The Cheesecake Factory, buckle in because you’re in for a real treat here at The Venetian. After founding, and later franchising, The Cheesecake Factory, the creators realized they still hadn’t quite satisfied that creative itch they had - and so Grand Lux Cafe was born!

Inspired by the ambiance they encountered during trips abroad to places like Paris, Rome, and Vienna, as well as the food they came across pretty much everywhere, Grand Lux Cafe offers less of the American fare you might be used to at The Cheesecake Factory, but still the same attention to detail and delicious options to choose from.

Enjoy anything from nachos brought to you straight from Mexican recipes to chicken glazed with Thai sauces. The best news: even if you’ve got a picky eater tagging along with you, they’ll be able to find something to enjoy because there are plenty of classic American fare options for them to choose from.

“Whatever you're in the mood for, they've got it! Also they're open 24/7 so if you're on the strip at 2am and want spaghetti, burgers, ribs etc... This is the spot!! Also allergy and vegan friendly options.” - Yelp Review

SUGARCANE Raw Bar Grill

3355 Las Vegas Blvd S | The Strip | sugarcanrawbargrill.com

Las Vegas is loud and bright and always bustling with droves of people no matter what time of day it is. It’s a great place for social butterflies and introverts alike, allowing you to interact or find your own corner to retreat to.

That being said, everyone needs to escape every now and then, and no restaurant offers a better escape than The Venetian’s SUGARCANE Raw Bar Grill. Self-described as “warm and welcoming,” you won’t find a restaurant that makes the bustling Vegas streets disappear quite like this one does.

With a lot of sushi on their menu, you might think this is The Venetian’s take on Japanese cuisine, but they’ve actually combined a number of different cuisines from around the world to create something that is truly unique to their restaurant. Stop by to experience the pleasant joy of a meal at SUGARCANE.

“Not only did they surprise me with having beignets but they were so good, they melted onto my taste buds, permanently damaging them with yummy goodness. Bottomless mimosas were a plus.” - Yelp Review

Canyon Ranch Grill

3355 Las Vegas Blvd S, Fl 3 | The Strip | venetian.com

Whether this is your first time in the city or you’ve been here many times over the years, you’ve probably figured out by now that it’s very hard to distinguish between The Venetian and The Palazzo. With the Grand Canal Shoppes straddling the two popular hotels, it’s easy to forget which side it is exactly that you’re on.

If you want to get technical here, Canyon Ranch Grill is located on The Palazzo side, but we figure if you’re taking a stroll through the Grand Canal Shoppes, you’re probably not all that concerned about which side you end up dining on, so we’ve lumped this one in.

As an offshoot of Las Vegas’s branch of Canyon Ranch, where you can receive massages and spa treatments, Canyon Ranch Grill is all about doing everything they can to provide you with healthy, delicious options during your stay in Vegas. Enjoy anything from brunch to dinner cooked up with only the freshest of ingredients!

“My husband and I were looking for healthy alternatives to balance out the more decadent meals and this place was perfect! There are plenty of vegan options, as well.” - Yelp Review
