They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but there’s an exception to that rule – fine dining. Once a city known for cheap buffets and likely some digestive issues, today’s Las Vegas is now home to world-class dining presented by award-winning chefs. This is a sampling of the restaurants where you need to eat to experience fine dining Las Vegas style.
Restaurant Guy Savoy
Located in Caesars Palace, this offshoot of the famed Guy Savoy in Paris emulates the original’s menu. This includes many of their iconic dishes including soupe d’artichaut à la truffe noire, brioche feuillellée aux champignons et truffles, Fondant au Chocolat, and Terrine de Pamplemousse.

The Zagat review sums it up best: “An amazing dining experience” awaits at this Bellagio offshoot of Michael Mina’s San Francisco New American, where an “expertly prepared” menu starring “excellent” seafood (including a “scrumptious” lobster pot pie) is presented by “professional” servers who go “out of their way to discuss what’s special about every dish”; the “beautiful setting” is an “oasis of calm” amid the bustle of the Strip, bolstering agreement that the “steep” tabs are “worth every penny.”
Sage
Farm-to-table is a bit unexpected in the desert of Nevada. Sage dispels that myth with their organic, locally sourced, farm-to-table menus and fare accompanied by handcrafted cocktails. All of this is set in a sleek, gorgeous, and also modern space in the Aria Resort and Casino. Chef Shawn McClain says, “I start with the finest local produce, artisanal meats, and sustainable seafood to create dishes that are clean and simple with creative twists.” His diligence pays off and Aria notes that he “is no stranger to receiving accolades for his inspired cuisine, but with Sage, he has taken things a step further and built one of Las Vegas’ most stand-out dining experiences.”
