Chica

Location: The Palazzo at the Venetian Resort

Main courses are delicious at this Mexican-inspired brunch, served with a backdrop of thumping Latin music and reggaeton. But the real star of the show is pastry chef Jessica Scott’s rum caramel sticky bun. Three pull-apart cinnamon rolls are baked together with a salted rum caramel…and then topped with a Fresno chili graham cracker crumble, pistachio cream cheese frosting, and toasted coconut. Chef’s advice: Share it as a starter.

Honey Salt

Location: Summerlin

With all-you-can drink mimosas and bellinis for $19, this suburban spot on the far west side of Las Vegas is all about the bottomless booze. Chef Elizabeth Blau also rolls out a Dutch pancake and breakfast poutine, which is basically a plate of fries covered with eggs and your choice of meat. For a real treat, try the famous fried chicken Benedict.

Esther's Kitchen

Location: Arts District

This Arts District mainstay from Las Vegas native and chef/owner James Trees is renowned for innovative Italian fare, and brunch is no exception. Dishes such as porchetta Benedict and breakfast pizza complement the prosciutto cotto Monte Cristo, the Nutella and orange French toast, and the smoke ocean trout. But the hands-down fan favorites are the impossibly soft cheesy eggs on Japanese milk bread, and beef-cheek hash with latke sticks. For those who prioritize drinking at brunch, the creative cocktail list includes mimosas and a Bloody Mary.

Peyote

Location: Downtown

Latin-inspired dishes such as chilaquiles and shrimp tacos stand out on the menu at this restaurant, which has an expansive open-air patio at Fergusons Downtown. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, try the chorizo margarita, which is made with chorizo fat-washed Teremana tequila, agave, and lime. Don’t miss Big Rig Jig, a sculpture made from two tanker trucks out front.

Lago

Location: The Bellagio Resort & Casino

Chef Julian Serrano’s Italian restaurant overlooks an eight-and-a-half-acre manmade lake, creating a vibe that’s romantic and breathtaking all at once. The menu features several standout brunch options, including a fritatta with broccoli, sweet peppers, and spinach, and banana pancakes with caramelized bananas and a Nutella drizzle. Larger groups love sharing the salmon crostini appetizer: a toasted baguette topped with ricotta cheese, thinly-sliced layers of smoked salmon, and a quail egg.

Mon Ami Gabi

Location: The Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

While the French fare at this Strip-side restaurant is reliably good (the croque madame never disappoints), the view is what prompts guests to wait for 60 to 90 minutes to get in. An expansive open-air patio looks out across Las Vegas Boulevard at the Bellagio Fountains, an iconic attraction where more than 1,200 jets make it seem as if water is “dancing” to music every 15 minutes on most mornings.

Kassi Beach House

Location: Virgin Hotels Las Vegas

This scene-y eatery is one of the only happening destinations in the new Virgin Hotel, and it is a great spot for celeb-watching on weekends. Brunch options include avocado toast, Hamachi crudo, and a grilled octopus that’s as flavorful as it is tender. Another popular choice is the bottomless rosé for $45—on hot days, the pink drink goes down oh-so-smooth.

NoMad Bar

Location: NoMad Las Vegas

The main dining room at NoMad Restaurant is designed like a cavernous library, and the bar at NoMad comes to life on weekends as live bands play jazz through brunch. Cocktail options are inventive, including a sweet tiki drink that comes in a skull mug, and two others that come in pitchers for the table. Food options feature raw fish, fried artichokes, a truffle chicken sandwich, and old-school egg dishes.

The Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas

Location: Wynn Las Vegas

Yes, including a buffet on the list of best brunch spots in Las Vegas might be cheating. But brunch at the fancy Wynn buffet is truly spectacular, with more than 60 options every weekend. Highlights include breakfast pizza and lobster eggs Benedict. There’s also a congee station, and a made-to-order pancake sitch with red velvet as an option.

Eggslut

Location: The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

There’s nearly always a line at this spot, which is the fast-casual outpost of the LA-based brand, and the diners-in-wait are onto something: Breakfast sandwiches are an art form here. You can’t go wrong with a traditional bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, but for something different, try the Gaucho, which combines tri-tip steak, chimichurri, red onions, arugula, and an over-medium egg on a warm brioche bun.

Caviar Bar

When in Vegas, there’s truly nothing like a few spoonfuls of caviar to get brunch started off right. Standard caviar service at this restaurant includes homemade blinis, crème fraiche, and chives, and other brunch options include fresh-shaved cured meats, cheese plates, seafood towers, and more. The house martini comes with blue-cheese-and-prosciutto-stuffed olives, by the way.
