17 Essential Vegas Restaurants
Transient is everyone’s favorite word in Las Vegas. It means that nothing and no one lasts long in this city. However, in the midst of imploding casinos and closing businesses, there are some restaurants that have withstood the test of time and have managed to continue serving the community for over 25 years (which is a long time in Vegas!). We are bringing back a conversation with former co-host Vogue Robinson and food contributor Brent Holmes where they list the most essential older restaurants for Las Vegans to try and discuss what has kept them open for so long. Plus, some newer spots that seem to have promising futures.
Restaurants mentioned:
Bob Taylor’s
Oscar’s Steakhouse
Benny Binions
Lotus of Siam
Ronnie’s
Mint
Donna Maria’s Tamales
Tacos El Gordo
Grit’s Cafe
Mario’s Market
Chicago Joe’s
