Best Lunch on the Las Vegas Strip

The Las Vegas Strip is known for its killer food options, which means that your afternoon noshing is sure to be delicious as long as you pick the right spot.

Beer Park at the Paris Las Vegas

For Bellagio Fountain views with a backyard cookout vibe, Beer Park on the Las Vegas Strip is the place to eat, drink, and play the afternoon away. The 9,000-square-foot rooftop deck has over 100 different kinds of beers and handcrafted cocktails to start your pre-game early and a mouthwatering menu filled with smoked meats that are fall-off-the-bone delicious.For sports lovers, Beer Park has TV screens throughout for game days, special events for championships and tournaments, and hosts a variety of national broadcasts including ESPN’s ‘Sports Center.’ If the summer heat is too sweltering on the covered patio, their indoor bar and grill is just as fun as their outdoor area with plenty of seating, arcade games, and living room style setups for watching the game in comfort.

Sugar Factory at the Fashion Show Mall

For a whimsical, technicolor Las Vegas lunch spot look no further than Sugar Factory inside the Fashion Show Mall. Despite the name, the menu is way more than just their decadent desserts. One of our favorite savory dishes is their lineup of sliders with rainbow colored buns that give us some serious flashbacks to Spongebob’s Pretty Patties. But that’s not their only over-the-top burger option. They also have one of the glitziest burgers we’ve ever experienced called the 24K burger that is literally covered in edible gold with a side of gold-dusted fries and a 24K Rich Chocolate Milkshake that’ll set you back a cool $150 for the privilege. 

Besides the over-the-top dishes, every corner of this restaurant is photo worthy. From the bright pink floral walls to the adorable giant candy sculptures out front. Sugar Factory is the perfect place for people of all ages to indulge in the desire to have dessert first.

"If you are in town for a birthday party, consider planning it here. You can view the party menu on their website. Order the family-friendly sampler platter and the Pink Unicorn Hot Chocolate."


Eataly at Park MGM

This Las Vegas lunch spot offers a thorough taste of the many flavors of Italy. It’s perfect for diners wanting to try a bit of everything from the different stalls, for families with picky eaters, or even just for grabbing a gelato while you walk down the Strip on a hot summer day. The best part about Eataly is that you can take home their amazing ingredients to cook with later. Locals absolutely love grabbing some gourmet meats, cheeses, and desserts to bring back home to enjoy. But if you’re visiting and can’t throw a slab of meat into your carry-on, they have plenty of dry goods as well to help spice up your next culinary experiment.

"Great for groups because each person can eat somewhere different, but all in the same place. For a celebration, dine at Toscana Ristorante & Bar by Eataly for a fine dining experience."


Virgil’s Real BBQ at the LINQ Promenade

This spot on the LINQ Promenade is one of the best places for lunch in Las Vegas. If you’re doing it right, this meal is gonna require a stack of napkins and plenty of moist toilettes in the absolute best way. Grab a seat on their second floor balcony so you can people watch and get ready to dig into their savory menu full of smoked meats, towering sandwiches, and authentic Southern side dishes like cornbread, collard greens, and hickory pit baked beans. 

And you better save room for dessert, your meal isn’t complete without a slice of one of their droolworthy pies.

Best Lunch in Downtown Las Vegas

Glitter Gulch and the fabulous Fremont Street area is where Vegas was born, which means it’s a great place to experience the authentic side of the city away from the up-scale boutique vibes of the Strip. The food spots here are mostly locally-owned spots that offer big portions and even bigger flavor to keep you full and fueled for the day ahead.

Dirt Dog Off Fremont Street

There are multiple Dirt Dog locations across Las Vegas, but our favorite is the one off Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas. Each of their massive, 100% premium beef hot dogs are piled high with toppings so good you’ll be licking the paper once you’re done. They pair these gargantuan dogs with smothered fry baskets in flavors like dirty chili, elote, and carne asada. This is the perfect Las Vegas lunch spot for gut-busting portions that’ll leave you ready for the ultimate Fremont Street adventure.

Evel Pie in the Fremont East District

This Las Vegas lunch spot is as delicious as its namesake is daring. Evel Pie in Downtown Las Vegas serves up some seriously tasty pizza in a space that is covered floor-to-ceiling in Evel Knievel memorabilia that range from photos of the iconic daredevil to a full motorcycle hanging from the rafters. Even though we’re recommending it for lunch, this pizza joint is open until 4 am on weekends where they feature live bands every second and third Thursday of every month. 

If you’re wanting to test your skills like a real daredevil, you can try out their Reaper Challenge for your chance at a free shirt and your picture up on their Hall of Flame.

"During the warmer months, expect long wait times as it is a hot spot for all locals and tourists. Stop here after spending the day at the sportsbook placing bets!"


Best Lunch in Summerlin Las Vegas

Summerlin is to Las Vegas like you are to your older sophisticated sister, who serves fancy charcuterie boards complete with cheeses you can’t pronounce and a perfectly paired wine. What we’re saying is Summerlin is where you find some seriously amazing lunch restaurants that are perfectly prepared, absolutely delicious, and will make you feel bougie in the best way.

Honey Salt

Honey Salt in Summerlin offers diners adorable, upscale farmhouse vintage vibes alongside their delicious menu of freshly prepared dishes that are lunch and brunch any day of the week. Even with how cute the interior is, their covered patio is our favorite place to sit so you can enjoy the beautiful weather. Considered New American cuisine, Honey Salt’s lunch menu features delicious dishes like shrimp scampi linguine, crispy Brussels sprouts with a balsamic glaze and lemon zest, and a refreshing watermelon salad perfect for hot summer days. Make sure to save room for dessert because their key lime pie is top-notch with a beautiful presentation. Plus, that’ll give you extra time to sip on one of their delightful cocktails or mocktails.
