Chyna Club
Planning a trip to Sin City? Add these top-tier restaurants to your radar—because in Vegas, great food is part of the show. Just don’t forget to snag a resy; the best bites demand a little planning (and a lot of fabulousness). You’ll score major cool points taking your crew to these four culinary hotspots—three on the Strip and one off—all satiating, all superior.
CHINESE CULINARY ART
East meets elegance at Chyna Club, the sultry new showpiece inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Rich red and gold tones, captivating artwork, and vintage-inspired furnishings fill the 4,800-square-foot space, creating an atmosphere that’s equal parts opulent and intimate. Attentive servers guide guests through signature dishes and standout cocktails—like the Bloody Chyna, a vodka martini clarified in house made Bloody Mary mix for 48 hours before serving. Must-try plates include tuna carpaccio, barbecue Ibérico baby back ribs, crispy walnut prawns, and chicken sausage and garlic fried rice. Whether you’re dining in the main room or seated in one of the semiprivate spaces, every detail whispers sophistication. Our pick for the ultimate experience? The Library.
A FARM-FRESH AFFAIR
Tucked inside The Venetian, Gjelina brings its signature Venice Beach cool to Las Vegas with a dimly lit, laid-back atmosphere that feels effortlessly chic. The menu celebrates the seasons, spotlighting produce-driven dishes that evolve frequently to reflect what’s fresh from California farms and purveyors—with sustainability at the heart of every plate. Expect a refined blend of Italian and Mediterranean influences, where farm-sourced ingredients shine in every bite. Standouts include the hamachi, gruyère wood-fired flatbread, seabass, Japanese sweet potato, and corn. Behind the bar, mixologists craft bespoke cocktails and follow up to ensure each sip meets your satisfaction. Thoughtful, fresh, and undeniably stylish—this is Gjelina, Vegas-style.
FAMILY RECIPES INSPIRE FLAVORFUL FOOD
Nestled in a Summerlin strip mall, Sorellina is the kind of hidden gem locals whisper about—a 2,604-square-foot Italian eatery where warmth and authenticity take center stage. Once seated, your server offers a brief history of the restaurant as family portraits on the walls set an intimate, homey tone. Though Sorellina is new, it already hums with regulars chatting up the bartender while cocktails are stirred and stories are shared. The menu celebrates Italian tradition with a modern touch: the restaurant is completely seed-oil free, and all pastas are made from scratch in-house using ingredients imported directly from Italy. Signature dishes include Mimi’s Ca Coots (crispy zucchini with lemon-whipped ricotta), the show stopping tableside burrata, pan-roasted branzino, and roasted asparagus and broccolini. Don’t miss Mimi’s Tiramisu—dessert in a glass—or the bright Grapefruit & Rose cocktail. For a sweet finale, indulge in house made strawberry sorbet or vanilla gelato.
GORGEOUS GARDENSIDE CAFE
Before settling in for a meal, take a moment to soak in the splendor of “Autumn Majesty: A Glamorous Harvest” at the Bellagio Conservatory, where cascades of color and artistry frame the path to Sadelle’s Café. Open for breakfast and lunch, this bright, elegant spot delivers American classics elevated to perfection—think grapefruit brûlée, egg white garden omelette, Waldorf salad, and fried chicken drizzled with truffle honey. For an unforgettable experience, book The Garden Table, where you’ll dine inside the Conservatory amid the blooms. The pre-set menu features delights like avocado toast, house-cured salmon tower with caviar and bagels, raspberry cheesecake, tea, and mimosas, creating a picture-perfect feast for the tastebuds and eyes.
