A Definitive List of the Best Brunch Spots in Las Vegas
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Brunching in Las Vegas isn’t just a meal, it’s a religion. Locals are all about the belated breakfast, likely because many of the most popular spots offer major doses of both grease and booze (aka the perfect antidote to any hangover). Restaurants all over the Strip are constantly trying to one up each other to provide guests with the most unforgettable brunch of their lives—meaning you have a plethora of over-the-top options to choose from during your next LV vacay.
Of course, as is often the case in highly brunchable towns, there are a few unspoken rules that you’ve gotta follow, not least because they’ll help you snag the best table. First: It pays to book ahead. If you’re not that much of a planner, just be sure to get your name on the list early to minimize the wait. Second, just because most visitors stay in resorts on the Las Vegas Strip doesn’t mean you have to eat there, too. Rather than narrowing your brunch options to the four-ish miles between the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign and the Stratosphere tower, check out Downtown Vegas, Chinatown, and even the suburbs for some epic spots. The 13 brunch recs here won’t disappoint.
Chica
Location: The Palazzo at the Venetian Resort
Main courses are delicious at this Mexican-inspired brunch, served with a backdrop of thumping Latin music and reggaeton. But the real star of the show is pastry chef Jessica Scott’s rum caramel sticky bun. Three pull-apart cinnamon rolls are baked together with a salted rum caramel…and then topped with a Fresno chili graham cracker crumble, pistachio cream cheese frosting, and toasted coconut. Chef’s advice: Share it as a starter.
Ping Pang Pong
Location: Gold Coast Hotel & Casino
There aren’t many places in Vegas to get traditional dim sum for brunch, but "PPP" delivers in a big way. Regular brunch service on a recent weekend included more than 90 different options of dumplings, steamed buns, tarts, vegetables, and other goodies.
Honey Salt
Location: Summerlin
With all-you-can drink mimosas and bellinis for $19, this suburban spot on the far west side of Las Vegas is all about the bottomless booze. Chef Elizabeth Blau also rolls out a Dutch pancake and breakfast poutine, which is basically a plate of fries covered with eggs and your choice of meat. For a real treat, try the famous fried chicken Benedict.
Al Solito Posto
Location: Summerlin
Chef James Trees, a legendary Las Vegas native, serves traditional Italian dishes such as meatball parmesan and carbonara for brunch at this suburban locale. The restaurant also has three Bloody Mary variations (traditional, Italian with spicy basil paste, and botanico with cucumber juice and celery bitters), plus a Prosecco bar with all sorts of purées and cordials to add to your drink. Bonus: The restaurant is located in the beautiful outdoor mall Tivoli Village, which means window-shopping for dessert.
Peyote
Location: Downtown
Latin-inspired dishes such as chilaquiles and shrimp tacos stand out on the menu at this restaurant, which has an expansive open-air patio at Fergusons Downtown. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, try the chorizo margarita, which is made with chorizo fat-washed Teremana tequila, agave, and lime. Don’t miss Big Rig Jig, a sculpture made from two tanker trucks out front.
Lago
Location: The Bellagio Resort & Casino
Chef Julian Serrano’s Italian restaurant overlooks an eight-and-a-half-acre manmade lake, creating a vibe that’s romantic and breathtaking all at once. The menu offers a three-course brunch featuring a basket of house-baked pastries, a small pasta dish, and a main course that might include eggplant parmesan Benedict or breakfast pizza. The final course plays out like dessert, and the panettone pudding will redefine your take on fruitcake forever.
Mon Ami Gabi
Location: The Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino
While the French fare at this Strip-side restaurant is reliably good (the croque madame never disappoints), the view is what prompts guests to wait for 60 to 90 minutes to get in. An expansive open-air patio looks out across Las Vegas Boulevard at the Bellagio Fountains, an iconic attraction where more than 1,200 jets make it seem as if water is “dancing” to music every 15 minutes on most mornings.
Kassi Beach House
Location: Virgin Hotels Las Vegas
This scene-y eatery is one of the only happening destinations in the new Virgin Hotel, and it is a great spot for celeb-watching on weekends. Brunch options include avocado toast, Hamachi crudo, and a grilled octopus that’s as flavorful as it is tender. Another popular choice is the bottomless rosé for $45—on hot days, the pink drink goes down oh-so-smooth.
NoMad Bar
Location: NoMad Las Vegas
The main dining room at NoMad Restaurant is designed like a cavernous library, and the bar at NoMad comes to life on weekends as live bands play jazz through brunch. Cocktail options are inventive, including a sweet tiki drink that comes in a skull mug, and two others that come in pitchers for the table. Food options feature raw fish, fried artichokes, a truffle chicken sandwich, and old-school egg dishes.
CRAFTkitchen
Location: Henderson
The brunch menu at this popular eatery is full of vegetarian-friendly options such as a chile relleno omelette and sweet treats like churro-style waffles served with caramel sauce. A special vegan section of the menu includes a burrito made with Soyrizo and smashed avocado toast with sunflower seed pesto.
The Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas
Location: Wynn Las Vegas
Yes, including a buffet on the list of best brunch spots in Las Vegas might be cheating. But brunch at the fancy Wynn buffet is truly spectacular, with more than 60 options every weekend. Highlights include breakfast pizza and lobster eggs Benedict. There’s also a congee station, and a made-to-order pancake sitch with red velvet as an option.
Eggslut
Location: The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
There’s nearly always a line at this spot, which is the fast-casual outpost of the LA-based brand, and the diners-in-wait are onto something: Breakfast sandwiches are an art form here. You can’t go wrong with a traditional bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, but for something different, try the Gaucho, which combines tri-tip steak, chimichurri, red onions, arugula, and an over-medium egg on a warm brioche bun.
Caviar Bar
Location: Resorts World
When in Vegas, there’s truly nothing like a few spoonfuls of caviar to get brunch started off right. Standard caviar service at this restaurant includes homemade blinis, crème fraiche, and chives, and other brunch options include fresh-shaved cured meats, cheese plates, seafood towers, and more. The house martini comes with blue-cheese-and-prosciutto-stuffed olives, by the way.
