Indulge your inner gourmet at Las Vegas’ 10 best fine dining restaurants

Fine dining enthusiasts have an abundance of excellent restaurants to choose from in Las Vegas. Although the Strip has a large percentage of the city’s fine dining restaurants, talented chefs and gourmet food can be found throughout Las Vegas. The city’s dynamic food scene continues to evolve and attract the stars from the culinary world.

French cuisine exerts a big influence on the fine dining options in Las Vegas, but each restaurants has its own interpretation of French cuisine. Some restaurants opt for a classic interpretation of French food, while others have a more modern approach.

Dinner at Joel Robuchon, for instance, is an exceptional experience that will probably be one of the most elaborate and expensive meals you’ll ever enjoy. Their fine French creations are served in an opulent room featuring Art Deco touches, the perfect setting for the hours-long, multi-course experience. At Partage, by contrast, the incredible French-inspired food is also impressive but the menu isn’t set, instead reflecting seasonal ingredients, and the dining area is sophisticated but not intimidating.

For non-French options, diners will find many exceptional choices. Inside the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Jose Andres’ é takes Spanish-influenced food to a new level in an exclusive experience created for just eight guests. At Wing Lei, located at Wynn Las Vegas, guests can enjoy the fine Chinese cuisine that earned the restaurant a Michelin star.
