“Absolutely amazing! Charles our server, as well as other staff, went above and beyond! Food was phenomenal and will definitely be back our next trip to Vegas!“

“Can’t say enough great things about this club! Amazing staff & atmosphere! Can’t wait to return.“

“Brunch at Esther's was another great dining experience. We had the Proper Breakfast and the Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Cake. This cake is probably the best dessert ever. Juan, our server, was so fun and knowledgeable.“

“Great food and service. The simulator was awesome. We had a party of four and raced against each other. We had 30 min and that was plenty of high stress racing!
Ronnie was an amazing server with food and beverage recommendations! A great place for family, groups, company meetings.“

“My wife and I stopped by again and loved our experience! Chris did a wonderful job creating a strawberry vodka sour. Thanks Chris!“

“The food is absolutely some of the best in the downtown Vegas area. The Egg Salad Sando is legit and tastes exactly like the ones made in Japan. The bread is authentic. The Hokkaido Biru Burger is amazing and something I don't think I've ever seen before. The drinks are amazing and the service is always on point!“

“If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I was in town with a friend to see the Eagles and we wanted an amazing dinner the night before. We googled unique dining experience and this one stood out. When I say it didn’t disappoint I’m not exaggerating. I have dined at many Michelin rated restaurants all over the world and this was a favorite that I will return to. We did the tasting menu with the wine pairings. The pairings were spot on perfect and very unique (think sparkling sake ). The entire staff was both friendly and informative giving us a little history of each of the wines. It’s about a 10 minute ride from the strip and very much worth it. The only thing I would have done differently was start with one of their amazing looking craft cocktails . We will absolutely return.“

“Absolutely fantastic! We stumbled upon this place and found it to be exceptional. The inside area is small, but we found comfortable seating, and the bartender and wait staff were very welcoming, friendly, and had excellent drink recommendations. The ambience was fantastic — there was so much to look at. There was live music with a really talented singer, and a few times we even stepped outside on the patio to join the dancing. We were able to order appetizers brought over from the restaurant next door, and though we were really just there for the drinks and the atmosphere, it was convenient to have that option. Highly recommend — would definitely be back!“

“The ideal destination for a Sunday Funday brunch! The food is bursting with flavor, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between chic and welcoming. A must-try spot for brunch enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable dining experience!“

“Visiting Vegas for work and wanted to leave the strip- this place was exactly what our group was looking for! The drinks were amazing (we all got Dealers Choice and somehow they were exactly what we wanted!), the service was excellent and I just felt cooler for being there. Next time I’m in Vegas I will definitely be going back.“

“Really great find. We were staying on the strip for a conference. Read about this place in a reddit forum. Glad we made the trip.
Cocktails were really unique. The first page was full of drinks you could describe as a meal. I had a coconut and Thai oil cocktail followed by a milk-washed mezcal and mole cocktail. Fantastic. The owner even brought out a cocktail he was working on that was a take on pho. Really inventive and tasty.
The dinner was also great. We had the meatballs, spring rolls, and lettuce cups. All were solid.
For our entrees we split the Ribeye with Mole and the scallop fried rice.
That Ribeye was killer. I would come back to Vegas just for that. The owner makes his own Mole and it's great. He also brought out some of his own sauces to try, including a tomatillo and a poblano sauce. Both were delicious.
We finished the night with two great desserts. We had a tofu-based cheesecake. Our whole table was skeptical, but the owner said to give it a chance. I'm glad we did. It was light and airy. The right amount of sweetness on a great crust. We also had coconut ice cream with a honey drizzle over tapioca waffles. Fantastic. We talked about this meal for the rest of the trip.
If you read this, go and give the place a try. But don't come to this restaurant in a rush. Sit back and enjoy the experience. It's worth it.“

“Stopped by Kitty Kitty and ended up having some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had, hands down. Anthony was behind the bar and absolutely crushed it. I let him do bartender’s choice and both drinks were unreal, perfectly balanced, creative, and honestly memorable. On top of that, he was a great conversationalist without being overbearing, which is a rare skill in Vegas. You can tell he actually cares about what he’s making and who he’s making it for. I’ll be coming back specifically to sit at the bar again.“

“Amazing taste, friendly service, knowledge of menu recommendations! One of the best meals. Memorable! And that pecan pie!! My husbands only complaint-I didn’t order my own dessert and ate some of his.“

“I always have such a great time at Dusty Vegas Vickie’s ! The bartenders and servers are incredibly efficient and attentive. Every time I go, Dustin Personius is such an amazing host—he always makes sure everything is perfect. The espresso martinis are hands down the best I’ve ever had, and I’m obsessed with the Paper Plane drink! I really appreciate everyone who works there. You all work so hard, and it shows. Love you guys—keep up the amazing work!“

“I love this place … usually we order sweet potato fries… peas and rice… jerk wings and a couple of beef patties. Plenty of food for four girlfriends and the drinks are great. Cool relaxed vibes. Friendly and knowledgeable staff“

“Great cocktail bar that also serves some pretty good mocktails as well. Came with my partner and some people in town visiting. Clean and the vibes are great, has a more laid back intimate setting. There’s paid parking in the back for people wondering about parking. Or, you can try to find a spot on First st on the other side of the entrance.“

“✨ An Absolute Treasure: Anima by EDO Hosted Our Perfect Wedding Reception! ✨ My Wife and I cannot speak highly enough about Anima by EDO and the incredible team, especially Joe, who helped make our wedding reception absolutely magical. In a scramble, we reached out to Anima for a short-notice wedding reception venue for our party of 28 guests. They didn't just accommodate us; they went above and beyond to create a seamless, warm, and unforgettable evening. The experience felt truly high-end, yet we were pleasantly surprised by how incredibly affordable they made it for us—offering superb value for such quality. The Tapas Menu they put together for us was nothing short of divine. Each dish was a masterpiece—flavourful, creative, and beautifully presented. Our guests raved about the food, noting it was easily some of the best they’ve ever had. Anima delivered a true culinary experience that elevated our special night. The service was perfection. Attentive, friendly, and executed with genuine warmth and precision. The entire staff made us and our guests feel incredibly welcome and celebrated. A massive, heartfelt thank you to Joe for his coordination, flexibility, and ensuring every detail was handled flawlessly. You are a star! If you are looking for an exceptional dining experience—or a reliable, high-end, and affordable venue for a special event in Las Vegas—look no further than Anima by EDO. They gave us the reception of our dreams! 5/5 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great new sushi restaurant. Some of the freshest fish we've had in town. Cool atmosphere and staff. The owner is a cool cat!“

“Its about $100/person which includes drinks. This is fair for this area for sure. We sat outside in the evening and it was lovely. You have to take the elevator with the restaurant's logo on it. We came from downstairs and could have taken the elevator from the valet area, but we took the escalator amd then the elevator.
Sitting inside would have been too loud and too stuffy.“

“Super exciting and great for the whole family! Definitely gets you using your brain!!!“

“This bar and lounge once was the sky high but they changed the name and it is just as amazing as the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in which it is located on the 23 RD FL. The views truly are stunning, the service is outstanding and the place is beautiful of course. It is expensive but worth it. The cocktails and bites are amazing the bartenders are entertaining and talented. It is across from POLO TOWERS where we have a time share but stay at the Waldorf for the beauty and service when going to stay on the strip. The location is excellent being close to everything. We have never had a bad experience. It is a must see and do when in Las Vegas. So gorgeous, relaxing and delicious. Valet parking too.“

“Excellent food, fantastic service we loved Vincenzo, and great vibe!!! Highly recommended!!“

“My new go-to for hands down the best cocktails on the LV strip! I'm still craving their specialty Yuzu Margarita and Ube Piña Colada, especially on these hot desert days. I'm not a beer drinker, but husband loves their cold beer selection on draft! We're locals but we come to the strip often and make Buddha Bar a stop on the way to go shopping or our pregame on date nights. It's so conveniently located right in the center of the strip and just below the food court, so you know I'm also getting my drinks with my Rock n Potato fix right upstairs. Yum yum yum! Highly recommend the drinks and the vibe at this super chill bar.“

“yes food its veri good...100% recommended...“

“Amazing service and food!!“

“Inside of the Palms Casino/Hotel .
For Saturday night was not very crowded, not noisy. We were have reservation. We didn't have to wait. We just go in and sit the white clothed nicely settled table.
I ordered medium rare filet mignon, came out well filet mignon. Cook was wrong. Server changed steak.. After changed, medium rare filet test was ok. ..if Restaurants got from me 4 , There is mean that restaurants are good, High Class Restaurants. Get 5 Stars from me very difficult. They have to be top of the top restaurants.Scotch 80 overall 4 star restaurant, There is mean one of the high class, nice restaurant .“

“I love the intimate setting and decor that this place has. And it's great that they cater to live music... there's no shortage of bars in downtown Las Vegas, but it's great to be somewhere where music is center-stage. I come to Fat Cat sporadically for The Shed Open Jam.“

“Really cute, kitsch spot for drinks. Complex with the ingredients mixed together - made for very interesting flavors. We went within an hour or so after they opened and had to order at the bar (not sure if that's an all-night thing or just as early our visit), which was a slight knock on service -- but still think it's a 5-star experience for a ski-lodge themed cocktail den in the middle of a desert.“

“Start to finish, a fantastic experience. Our server Ben was awesome, very attentive, had great suggestions on drinks, and menu faves. I would love to know where y’all get your basil oil that was on the burrata heirloom tomatoes appetizer. Truly the best version of a caprese I’ve ever had. We had the Porterhouse for 2, cooked to perfection, and the pork belly mac and cheese, so so delicious!And my drink, the Cock and Bull was so good… nice touch the crystal clear square ice cube. Will definitely return whenever we come to Vegas.“

“The batender Peyton...Man thx for all the fun and taking care of us! Also the cooks plz 🙏 don't stop making food like this.“

“Drinks were strong and the food was delicious! I had the Philly cheesesteak dog. Our bartender Jo was so sweet. Glad we found this spot. Will definitely come back again“

“This was the best steakhouse I’ve ever been to we were seated in this amazing atmosphere with everything from swords shields and medieval suits of armor, They also had this live violinists playing everything from Lady Gaga to Allanis morrisette and he’s was really good, we were quickly given their toast with bacon jam which was incredible then we decided to order the Alabama chicken and the bone marrow the chicken was fall off the bone tender and tasted amazing the bone marrow and toast was delicious it had an impeccable fatty flavor after that we ordered the 50 oz dry aged porterhouse with Mac and cheese mashed potatoes and cream spinach as our sides the steak was a perfect medium and the truffle butter on top was fantastic, the mashed potatoes were delicious and had a hint of garlic, the Mac and cheese was super flavorful and the top was crispy, the cream spinach was cream spinach, then we ordered the chocolate lava cake, I’ve had a lot of chocolate lava cakes before but this one was special the molten interior was just wow, it was also my birthday so they brought out a sparkler and they actually let me wear a knights helmet and hold a sword for a little bit to take pictures which was really cool they also brought out a special kind of mini raspberry macaroon and cake for free which also tasted great, and that’s about it, I never really take this much time to write out a review for a restaurant but this one made my birthday special and i hope more people will see this and go expirience it for themselves.“

“The center bar is our go to spot when we’re at the Palms on our annual visit.
The service is always great, Beto is a master crafter! it’s always clean and even though it is a full smoking area now if you find a spot where no one smokes in your group it helps, we mostly stay in the corner couch area to the left of you come up the main stairs or the backside stairs to the left as well. You will definitely enjoy the specialty drinks, they are creative and are very good!“

“Delicious!! Everything I ate melted in my mouth. Highly recommend.“

“Great poker bar and good drinks“

“Always as for @erezcigars“

“Love this place!! Especially when Roland or Shawn are bartending. Super friendly n so funny!! Roland is such a cool guy, always feel right at home. That's why we always go to chasers everytime we go to Vegas. Big thank you Roland and Shawn!!!“

“What was NOT to love?! Great place all the way around.“

“Awesome place! Our fave bar in Vegas! #danielleandnorm“

“Fantástico lugar, excelente vista a la ciudad.“

“Really cute, stylish spot for live music and drinks. It gets super lively and has a great energy. Knocked off one star because it can get pretty crowded, but it’s totally worth checking out if you love a good upscale lounge vibe! 💕“

“Mi familia me llevaron a desayunar y la verdad quedé impresionado del servicio y la presentación de cada platillo estuvo diez de diez! 💯 recomendable!“

“The heat is on at HEAT where things are really heating up and cooking because this place is the newest addition to an ever-growing list of places that are too hot to handle because the are on fire and ready to deliver on that promise of exceptionally fun times and red hot experiences for everyone that visits this location and enjoys themselves to the absolute hottest, fullest extent possible. Elevate your level of enjoyment until you are no longer able to measure it, and you have to just go with the flow and keep enjoying and delighting in the heat of the moment, where everything comes into play and nothing is out of the question because it's all on fire at HEAT. Ask yourself, is this really for you? Of course it is! I was skeptical at first, just like you and your friends, but then they turned up the heat to maximum and everyone got burned, and now there's no going back because you have succumbed to the intensity of the moment at HEAT. Boom! Roasted!“

“My second visit with two diff friend groups! The chicken was just as amazing as I remembered. I love the happy hour! Good prices and great portion sizes! Awesome atmosphere/decor. A live musician last night. Very cool.“

“We ate here for the first time on Friday May 29th 2026. We were blown away with how good, both the service and food was. It was probably the best meal and service combination we have ever experienced, and we are 59. lol I am not sure how much Andrya and Shawn make, but whatever it is it's not enough. They took it to a whole nother level.“

“menu may read fancy but the workers can help you understand it. fantastic. 10 outta 10. what I had -chicken skins, honey is to die for. -shrimp was delish -skirt steak w pesto was awesome. -bread pudding is a must try. definitely a must try“

“Spent the evening celebrating my husbands 50th birthday which was also the F1 on the Friday The service was outstanding and the meal incredible (the beef wellington was better than Hell’s Kitchen!!) Would highly recommend and the staff were super helpful with all my questions leading upto the evening for weeks prior as it was our first time in Vegas Thank you!“

“I recently ate at the Las Vegas location. The food was absolutely delicious and my whole family enjoyed their meals. Outstanding service as well and we look forward to returning one day. Highly recommend.“
