3655 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
(702) 944-4224
Sun - Fri • 7:00am - 11:00pm, Sat • 7:00am - Midnight

Sit on the patio, eat rich French food, and watch the Bellagio fountains.  Life doesn't get much better.  It's pretty pricy, so bring your Gold Card....but the food is great, and you can't beat the location for people-watching.  The mini French loaf and European butter is to die for!


Ellis Island
4178 Koval Lane
(702) 733-8901
24 Hours

Old school diner with good, cheap, home-style meals 24 hours a day.  $6.99 Steak Dinner Special is one of the best deals in Vegas, but you have to ask for it....it's not on the menu.


Stratta (@ Wynn Resort)
3131 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
(702) 770-3463
Late Dining: Thurs - Mon • 11:00pm - 6:00am

Upscale dining for night owls.  A bit pricy, but if you're in the mood for a really nice Italian dinner in the middle of the night, this is your spot.  Great tapas.


Mr. Lucky's 24/7 (@ Hard Rock Hotel)
4455 Paradise Rd.
(702) 693-5000‎
24 Hours

If you hit this busy diner, check out the $7.77 "Gambler's Special".  Includes a steak, choice of brocolli or potato, three grilled shrimp, and a salad.  Served 24 hours.  NOTE: Not on the menu...you have to ask for it.


Coronado Cafe (@ South Point Hotel)
9777 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
(702) 796-7111‎
24 Hours

$12.95  Choice of 10 oz. Prime Rib or 16 oz. Porterhouse.  Served with garden salad and choice of baked, mashed or french fried potato - served 24 hours. 

Also excellent Graveyard specials (10pm-6am), including 7 oz. Steak and Eggs for $3.95, a 1/2lb burger and fries for $2.95, and a Pancake Sandwich for $2.45.  It might take a little extra driving to get to South Point, but it's SO worth it!


Peppermill
2985 Las Vegas Blvd.
(702) 735-4177
24 hours

My fave.  Always there, always open.  Funky, loungy, "Old  Vegas" type restaurant.  A little pricy, but the food is good, and the portions are enormous.  Menu is reminiscent of a slightly upscale version of Jerry's Deli in Los Angeles.


Sourdough Cafe (@ Arizona Charlie's - Decatur)
740 South Decatur Blvd.
(702) 258-5200
24 Hours

If you really want cheap, here you go.  Pretty Denny's-like, but the food's not bad, and it's super cheap.  $3.99 Steak and eggs special is pretty decent for the price.  If you have a Players Club Card, you can get it for $2.99.


Sourdough Cafe (@ Arizona Charlie's - Boulder)
4575 N. Boulder Highway
(702) 951-9000
24 Hours

Basically the same as Decatur, but this location offers a $7.99 Prime rib and shrimp dinner.
