This buffet isn’t new to Vegas but it is new to this list!

Found in Planet Hollywood, of course Ramsay was going to make it to this list. If you are looking for a good burger in a casual but comfortable atmosphere, head to BURGER.

7. HONEY SALT

A good 20 minute drive from the strip, Honey Salt offers arguably the best brunch in town. With a farm-to-table inspired menu and a real community, family feel to it, you would never think you are in Las Vegas at all.

Average cost: The array of breakfast options cost around $13 whilst All You Can Drink options costs $18. Lunch costs a similar price to brunch whilst dinner mains cost between $24 – $36.

Creative Travel Rating: 9/10 (A little out of the way but worth the visit!)

WAZUZU Places to eat in Vegas

8. WAZUZU

Sit under the towering glitzy dragon and try the fusion of Thai, Chinese and Japanese food. This is a popular resturant in the Wynn hotel and makes a great place to have an Asian lunch.

9. LUV IT FROZEN CUSTARD

Luv it Custard places to eat in Vegas

Of course a dessert restaurant was going to end up on this list! It is me writing the list after all. Anyway, opposite The Stratosphere is this understated dessert haven. The list of sundaes is crazy long, as is the topping options!

 

Food type: Dessert

Opening hours: 1pm – 10pm

Dress Code: Casual

Average cost: With sundaes costing around $5, this is a steal!

Creative Travel Rating: 8/10 (This is only not a ten because it is only dessert and not actual food)
