Some people go to Vegas to gamble; I go to eat.
After visiting Las Vegas over 50 times, my husband and I have a dining strategy: We return to a few of our favorite spots and then try a couple of new ones.
And with Las Vegas tourism levels reaching a record-breaking high at the end of 2023, knowing where to make a reservation — or where you can pop by for great food without one — is as crucial as ever.
Here are some of my favorite restaurants on The Strip.
As a fan of the movie "The Chef," I knew I had to try The Chef Truck, a bright-yellow food truck parked inside the Park MGM.
The truck serves Cuban-inspired food and is a collaboration between celebrity chef Roy Choi and actor/director Jon Favreau that opened in late 2023.
I suggest starting with a warm sandwich, like the Cubano, and ending with the chocolate lava cake.
The prices are reasonable — every dish is under $20 — and there's a small seating area nearby, making this the perfect lunch stop between gambling or shopping on The Strip.
I'm a sucker for a restaurant with a view of the Bellagio Fountains —especially at night — so I often head to one of the restaurants in the Bellagio Hotel & Casino for a romantic dinner.
Lago by Julian Serrano serves upscale Italian fare, my favorite cuisine. During our last visit there, we shared the delicious seafood linguine and prime rib with peppercorn sauce.
Both were accompanied by a bottle of Chianti recommended by our server.
Try to snag a table on the outdoor patio for the best possible views. You have a better chance of getting a spot if you reserve a table in advance.
In 2023, Ocean Prime opened on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon Avenue — it even has a rooftop terrace overlooking The Strip.
The upscale restaurant chain is known for steak and seafood, and we dined here for our 32nd anniversary. We began with oysters and bubbly, moved on to scallops and martinis, and ended with warm butter cake.

Everything was delicious and Ocean Prime had excellent service. It's a splurge — most appetizers are $25 or more — but worth it for a special occasion.
Catch is filled with beautiful decor and photo opportunities that make it obvious it was designed to be a place where visitors can take the perfect Instagram photo.
At first, that made me doubt the quality of the food — but I've learned the food is even better than the decor.
On a recent trip to Catch, I got the best French toast I've ever eaten.
The French toast offerings vary by season, but the one I tried was filled with a delicious Meyer-lemon cream. We topped off our meal with a couple of cocktails with fun names like Lush Lemonade and Detox Retox.
Another great brunch option on The Strip is Bardot Brasserie, located inside the
