Here are five lunch spots popular amongst the rich and famous in Vegas:
1. Ai Pono Cafe
Ai Pono Cafe is a vibrant restaurant serving authentic Hawaiian street delicacies inside Durango Casino & Resort. Each day, Chef Gene Villiatora prepares sumptuous meals such as crackhead chicken, Korean short rib, and Portuguese Sausage Musubi.
Must-try meals are the Ai Pono originals like Da Mento “Fuckin” Bento. It includes guava chili pepper chicken, mac salad rice, lollipop shrimp, hot dog, spam mahi mahi, fish jun, and beef. And, if you have lunch earlier in the day, ask for the curry oxtail soup special that sells out by 6 pm daily.
2. Proper Eats Food Hall
Proper Eats Food Hall inside ARIA Resort & Casino is your ultimate destination for diverse dishes all in one place. The food court hosts nine vendors, including burgers at Lola’s, New York-style breakfasts at Egghead, sandwich staples at Wexler’s Deli, and pizza at Steve Aoki’s Pizzaoki.
3. CraftKitchen
CraftKitchen is a chef-owned cafe and bakery with satisfying pastries and light lunch bites. All meals are prepared using local organic ingredients. Moreover, the restaurant has a distinct menu list that changes often, guaranteeing a fresh dining experience.
4. Cipriani Las Vegas
Cipriani Las Vegas is an Italian restaurant inside the Wynn Las Vegas. The restaurant prepares Italian and Venetian meals. Think of a fennel soup appetizer before a main course like Chicken Spezzatino “alla Pizzaiola” served with rice pilaf. Then, the dessert is a choice between vanilla meringue and a sorbet selection.
5. Estiatorio Milos
Inside the opulent Venetian, the sophisticated Estiatorio Milos restaurant serves a three-course lunch for $45. Reserve a table and choose oysters, tuna tartare, or octopus as your first course. Try the lamb chops served with hand-cut fried potatoes for your second course (it’s worth the extra $15). Your third course might be Grrok yogurt paired with spooned sweets or a plate of in-season fruits paired with wine of your choice.
