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.

WAZUZU Places to eat in Vegas

Luv it Custard places to eat in Vegas

9. LUV IT FROZEN CUSTARD

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!
