Vanderpump Rules fans upset over the recent breakup of Tom and Katie can drown their sorrows in a stiff drink at Lisa Vanderpumps latest cocktail lounge. Vanderpump à Paris draws on the former Real Housewives cast member and British restaurateurs ten-year history of living in France, mixing a touch of authenticity with a few fun gimmicks in an elaborately decorated space. Much like Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, the lounge was designed with photographs and Instagram feeds in mind, but actually has a slightly darker colorscape with a few gothic elements thrown into the mix. The LoveLocked cocktail for two comes with a padlock for couples to initial and leave behind on a wall, carrying on a tradition that happens on bridges crossing the Seine River. Dishes like the Ratatouille Frites and French Onion Mac & Cheese are a playful mashup of cultures that totally work in this environment.How to book: Booking a reservation in advance is highly encouraged.
Emeril Lagasses presence in Las Vegas isnt quite as strong as it used to be after his Lagasses Stadium sports bar closed, but the former Food Network fixture still has Emerils New Orleans Fish House at the MGM Grand and Delmonico Steakhouse at the Venetian. While the former is a solid choice for seafood and Banana Cream Pie, the latter is an exceptional steakhouse in a city thats full of em. The charbroiled prime cuts often “kick it up a notch” with Creole seasoning and the whiskey list has long been one of the best in the country. The dining room was given an upgrade recently, adding welcome comfort and energy to what was previously a somewhat sterile look.Available for Reservations
Long before she actually had a restaurant of her own, Giada de Laurentiis was in the public eye as a cookbook author and television personality on the Food Network. That all changed when she finally opened Giada as the flagship restaurant at The Cromwell hotel, serving bright, inspired takes on Italian cuisine with coastal California touches. The dining room is an engaging space with windows that open up to the fresh air above Las Vegas Boulevard. Just be aware there’s a $25 per person fee for a table next to the windows—a move thats a little much in a city already full of unexpected fees and charges. However, the food lives up to the hype, especially the Shrimp and Mascarpone Spaghetti and the Cacciatore-Style Fried Chicken. The celebrity chef also lent her name to Pronto by Giada, a casual wine bar for brunch and lunch at Caesars Palace.How to book: Call 702-777-3759 to request a window table.Available for Reservations
Not into fancy fine dining? Thats okay. For some people, a good meal is a spectacle of indulgence and if you dont want to wait in line for one of the best buffets in Las Vegas, Guy Fieris Vegas Kitchen & Bar is the next-best option for a calorie overload. The signature restaurant for the host of Diners, Drive-In, and Dives is the kind of place where burgers are smothered with mac & cheese, chicken wings are infused with Fireball cinnamon whiskey, and nachos arrive at the table inside a mini trash can. The Vegas native and UNLV grad also has a Mexican spot, El Burro Borracho at the Rio, which closed temporarily during the pandemic, but a second version is open just a short road trip away at Harrahs in Laughlin.Available for Reservations
Everybody wants to come to Las Vegas—and thats especially true for celebrity chefs, whose level of star power is often determined by how often their name lights up marquees and digital billboards above the Strip. For these public figures, launching a restaurant in the entertainment and tourism capital of Sin City is the natural next step after conquering the world of cookbooks and food show competitions.
These two acclaimed chefs have been collaborating on their signature Latin cuisine for over 30 years, even appearing together in a Food Network show aptly dubbed Too Hot Tamales.

Their long-open Border Grill at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino offers modern Mexican with a focus on seasonal ingredients, while the fast-casual BBQ Mexicana serves grab-and-go burritos, bowls and salads.
A native of Spain, this Michelin-starred chef is credited with increasing the popularity of tapas in the United States.
