Grandiose, spectacular, and heart-stopping are three words to describe NoMad Library, the restaurant at NoMad Las Vegas. Inspired by the celebrated library of NoMad New York, the restaurant has 40-foot ceilings and is ringed with shelves of books—a backdrop that creates an intimate and sophisticated vibe. The food is worthy of this setting. Most dishes are communal, meaning they're designed to share. A signature dish is an American Wagyu prime rib (rubbed with porcini and black garlic) for two. Towers of seafood from the raw bar are nice starters, and tuna tartare is prepared tableside. Next door, in the NoMad Bar, a more casual menu is available for dinner and late-night bites. On weekends, there's jazz brunch, too.

If you're looking for a type of place where the waitress calls you "honey," this locals' favorite has an old-fashioned, family-owned vibe. The food is better than the chain places, serving up hearty Mexican specialties, fruit-topped pancakes and waffles, and senior specials. Blueberry Hill has four locations, two of them near each other on the East Side a couple of miles apart on Flamingo Road. Both are open 24 hours.

This pub serves up some of the best comfort food Vegas has to offer. Dishes include a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich; chicken and waffles; a prime rib dinner; and loaded nachos with corn chips, black beans, jalapeños, and your choice of meat. Citizens, as it's known, also offers a mélange of side dishes and signature cocktails. Try the Sam's mac and cheese, or maple bacon coffee cocktail. This handy space between the hotel and convention center is lively but casual; sometimes it can get loud during peak hours.

With 24-hour service and graveyard specials, Crown & Anchor is uniquely Las Vegas (and a favorite haunt of students from nearby UNLV). Most of the food is British, including the steak-and-kidney pie, bangers and mash, and authentic fish-and-chips. Sandwiches with American and British flavors are plenty, with frequent specials. The decor and faux-cottage exterior are decidedly British, and special events add to the fun: on New Year's Eve the celebration starts when it's midnight in the United Kingdom, which is 4 pm in Las Vegas. Long known as the all-hours Las Vegas mecca for British soccer die-hards, the pub has changed with the times and found ways for Vegas Golden Knights broadcasts to cohabitate with the Premier League, such as offering half-price appetizers during Knights games. The Little Crown & Anchor on Spring Mountain Road is, as the name implies, a smaller version.

The vibe at Resorts World is primarily refined and Asian, but at Dawg House you can cut loose Nashville-style. On the menu are such shareables as hot chicken bites, smoked tuna dip, and bacon "candy," but the menu also offers burgers (the Rottweiler has bacon jam, crispy onions, American cheese, and barbecue sauce), sandwiches (such as a Monte Cristo or pulled pork), salads, soups, and all manner of “dawgs.” Shooters, specialty cocktails and a long—long—list of drafts and beers complete the picture. An extension of a spot on that city’s Music Row, it features live music and dancing and a relatively raucous atmosphere. Breakfast is also served from, 7 to 11 am daily at the Mouse House Gourmet Grilled Cheese trailer tucked inside.

Locals and visitors alike were delighted when New York's cronut king set up shop in Las Vegas, at Caesars Palace across from The Colosseum. The shop serves Ansel's cronut creations as well as French pastries such as the best-seller kouign-amann, tiger-striped pain au chocolat, huge nutty almond croissants, macarons, and canelés. Mini-madeleines are piped to order and served warm, and Ansel's signature chocolate chip cookie shots and frozen s'mores are made while you wait. Creative, beautiful pastries like the Goldfish, flavored with calamansi, coconut, and mango, are another specialty, and quiche and sandwiches are available. There are a few seats inside if you'd like to sit while indulging in a croque monsieur.

You'll forget you're in Las Vegas after a few minutes in this relaxed and unpretentious Downtown cantina. All the combinations and specials are good, but the best play here is to order the house-made tamales. There are five tamale options in all: pork, chicken, beef, cheese, and a sweet dessert tamale with pineapple and raisins. You also won't go wrong with the Mexican sandwich, served with guacamole, tomatoes, and fries. Stop in on a Wednesday night, and you might see a crowd gathered for the fútbol game on satellite-provided Mexican TV. There is another area location at 3250 North Tenaya Way in Summerlin.

Eat may serve only breakfast and lunch, but chef Natalie Young's food is so hearty (and so uniquely appealing), you may not feel the need for dinner. Among the specialties are cinnamon biscuits with warm strawberry compote, shrimp and grits with bacon, and the "DWBLTA" (thick, toasted sourdough bracketing thick-sliced bacon, tomato, lettuce, and avocado). The "Killer Grilled Cheese with Kick Ass Tomato Soup" lives up to its name on both counts. Then, of course, there are the deviled eggs, for which the whites on the bottom are fried. Need we say more?

This Tivoli Village standout is all about meat. The menu offers a healthy list of options and cuts, from skirt steak, tri-tip, and hangar steak to a rib-eye cap and more. An on-site butcher shop offers diners the opportunity to buy fresh meat to take home with them as well. The rest of the food at Echo & Rig is pretty good, too: small plates and veggies such as summer corn with fresh marjoram are a big hit. Because the restaurant is large and dimly lit, it has a modern industrial hipster vibe. Don't let that feeling turn you off; you'll be hard-pressed to find a better steak dinner around town.

Every day is Día de los Muertos at this chic, skull-festooned cantina in Tivoli Village, where a pair of brightly colored calacas guard the entryway. Once inside, prepare to encounter a different kind of spirit: namely, a vast selection of tequila, with over 100 varieties available in this eye-popping, high-end Mexican eatery. The menu is as inviting as the rose-covered walls, ranging from gourmet filet mignon tacos to lobster fajitas to signatures like their cedar chipotle salmon. Brunch is served all day, and there are family packages to feed the whole brood. The focus here is on using organic and non-GMO ingredients made fresh daily, meaning there's not a microwave in the house.

This is maybe the best example of a Las Vegas adage, "Never judge a place by its ugly strip-mall facade." In a shopping center you'd usually drive by lies a coffee and tea house that's about as beautiful as they come. An indoor greenhouse covers the central kitchen area, amid a well-appointed warehouse feel with plants, art, and cozy seating and a singular three-tiered reading and browsing area (shoes off, please) in back. The coffee's first rate as well, and it's not unusual for customers to take way too long to ogle the display case of delicious-looking pastries or read the full menu of specialty-drink temptations. There's a soup and sandwich menu for those who want to extend a coffee break into a meal.

Warm earth tones, soft music and lighting, cloth napkins, and marble-topped tables are an elegant milieu in which to enjoy a glass of wine and mélange of appealing, freshly cooked flavors and textures—Asian nachos, double-stuffed potato spring rolls, stacked chicken quesadillas—24 hours a day. Located right off the main casino floor, this convenient chain eatery offers eclectic menu items and familiar crowd-pleasers: pizza, pastas, barbecue ribs, burgers, BLTs, and even wood-grilled filet mignon or rib eye. The "Lux" operates as a subsidiary of the Cheesecake Factory, so not only is it a reliable option for a more casual meal, it also offers its signature cheesecake for dessert. (You can also get one to go in the adjoining bakery, as well as coffee and pastries.) Happy hour, from 4:30 to 6 on weekdays in the bar, brings food and beverage specials. And there's another location in the Palazzo.

The brainchild of restaurateur Elizabeth Blau and chef Kim Canteenwalla, Honey Salt is, quite simply, a fun place to eat a meal. The atmosphere is convivial, dishes are designed for sharing, and a creative kids' menu encourages diners to bring the whole family. Stand-out dishes include savory monkey bread, a salad with duck confit, and chicken curry. At weekend brunch, try the pumpkin pancakes or breakfast nachos. Even the desserts are noteworthy: you'll be thinking about the Brookie, a blend of chocolate chip cookie, brownie, and ice cream, for weeks. This is one of the places where chefs in the Vegas Valley come on their days off.

This soothingly neutral Italian restaurant will satisfy carb cravings as well as yearnings for dishes that Grandma used to make. Crusty loaves of freshly baked bread, pasta, and dough for the excellent thin-crust, wood-oven pizzas are all made in-house. You can not only taste the love in your lasagna, but also feel the comfort that comes from watching it prepared in the exhibition kitchen, whence seasoned fish, grilled meats, and pork osso buco are also created and plated with fresh ingredients. Tiramisu is a must and best enjoyed from the terrace, where you can watch passersby. Buy a loaf to go in the diminutive bakery, just steps away; other foodie finds are also available. Il Fornaio is a great place for breakfast and brunch or for pastry takeout from the bakery.
