Restaurants
Esther’s Kitchen has relocated to a bigger space just down the street. The new location can seat nearly three times as many people features a spacious bar area, an open kitchen, and a pizza oven in the middle of the dining room, where customers can watch their dinner as it’s made.
Papi Steak is more of a vibrant nightclub than a classic Vegas steakhouse, and it’s everything that makes a steakhouse glamorous. The dining room’s centerpiece is a sparkling crystal chandelier, the wallpaper is enticing, and the music is loud. Of course, you can relax and enjoy a satisfying supper of steak and potatoes. The $1,000 steak, however, is the main attraction here. It is presented in a lavish case called the beefcase and comes with its own bottle service-style parade.
After years of delays and eye-popping legal drama, former Dallas Cowboys running back and Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith has opened his steakhouse. The 30,000-square-foot Emmitt’s Vegas overlooks the Las Vegas Strip and features a succession of hardwood and cobalt blue dining rooms for dining and drinking, all with views of the Vegas cityscape.
Peter Leuger’s at Caesars Palace is widely recognized for pioneering the American steakhouse concept by expertly dry-aging their steaks in-house.

For years, Las Vegas locals have been clamoring for the fast food giant, Whataburger, to expand to Nevada. It’s now open on the Las Vegas Strip in an impressive two-story space with two bars, giant screens, and a Parry’s Pizzeria and Taphouse inside.
