Eating your way across Las Vegas is one of the best things you can do when you’re in “Sin City.” So I created this Las Vegas foodie guide.

I highly recommend doing a food tour during your trip to Las Vegas. This will let you sample local foods, learn about the history of the city’s cuisine, and get recommendations from a local guide.

Reasons To Visit Las Vegas

Many Las Vegas restaurants require reservations, so book as early as possible to get a table.

Know Before You Go: in Las Vegas, it’s legal to have an open container of alcohol outside of a restaurant. So you can take any drink to go, and you can stop at takeout windows for refills while you walk around the city.
