Best Authentic Restaurants in Wynn Las Vegas and Encore

Fantastic dinner with outstanding view. We were lucky to have window table.

Breakfast here is always a treat. Besides the food and service being great, the room is very comfortable.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very much in theme with the rest of Vegas; a departure from your current reality to a place where everything feels more alive. The staff are all courteous and kind, helping you make decisions and find the meal you’ve been on a mission to find your whole life. Don’t hesitate, just order it. Share it with a friend or eat it all yourself. You can’t go wrong with any of the freshly made pastas, with sauces that make you want to take up cooking classes. Although I didn’t have the salt baked wild branzino, the table next to me did and it was all anyone around us could talk about. It looked incredible and judging by their reactions, it certainly was. I had the giant 16oz meatball, which is almost big enough to be a meal on its own. Softball sized and covered in fresh ricotta, I couldn’t help but devour the whole thing. My server suggested the bucatini carbonara to pair with the meatball and she nailed it. Tender, flavorful and the perfect portion size. I was eyeballing that 20 layer chocolate and peanut butter cake, but as able to somehow resist temptation. If LAVO isn’t on your list of places to try in Vegas, it needs to be.

Three of us decided last minute to go on Christmas day for the gaming at The M Resort and decided to try The Raiders Tavern & Grill. They were able to accommodate us within 5 minutes or walking up to the podium. Service was great, efficient, and friendly. Food was hot, flavorful, and relatively inexpensive. The menu was larger than expected for a "sports bar", but this is much more of a restaurant. There are plenty of TVs around, full bar service, fair number of beers to choose from, and the same goes for the wines. Holding a conversation was never an issue even with NFL and NBA games everywhere. Try the Shrimp & Grits; has a nice kick to it. The beer battered Fish & Chips were light and not greasy, and the fries were crunchy on the outside and tender inside. Buffalo Wings were meaty and spicy. Potato Skins were great with a crisp skin, cheese, scallions, and sour cream topping. Tacos were good. We will be back.

Our impromptu decision to dine out on Christmas Eve was a good one. Only having been to Anthony’s for a meeting in a private room, this experience was quite different. From the hostess welcome and prompt seating to the attentive wait staff, we felt warmly welcomed. The well-appointed, very large room was abuzz with celebratory excitement and held the perfect ambiance for our evening. Our server, Derek was amazing! His demeanor was friendly and informative as well as patiently interactive and thoughtful in his responses to our questions. The additional wait staff was swift to respond to our needs at the appropriate moments. We started with a Cabernet, escargot and seafood salad which were delightful. The steaks were prepared as ordered and the sides of creamed spinach and wild mushrooms were perfect compliments to rhe meal. Derek recommended the peanut butter pie which was over the top delicious and an excellent cap to our experience. Before our departure, my husband asked to speak with the manager. When he arrived at our table, we commended Derek for his excellent service and applauded the entire experience. ❤️ We will return with others!
