Las Vegas is a foodie haven as there are tons of great celebrity chef restaurants to choose from. The restaurants excel at providing great menus, opulent interiors, and stellar service.
Following are the best celebrity chef restaurants in Las Vegas:
Mesa Grill
Iron Chef Bobby Flay opened the doors of Mesa Grill in 2004. You won’t find any Mexican food in this restaurant as Flay and his team don’t cook it. What they cook is Southwestern cuisine, using a wide range of bold flavors, chilies, and earthy spices that deliver mouthwatering results. The bar offers a long list of mezcal and tequilas, so look past Patron when choosing your spirits. The menu changes quite often so you will need to ask about the specials. It is highly recommended that you try the Mesa Burger. It comes with Southwestern fries and is one of the best burgers in town.
Libertine Social
Tony Abou-Ganim (actor) teamed with Sean McClain (a James Beard Award-winning chef) to create Liberate Social, and the results are creative cocktails and delicious dishes. The two epicureans met at Iron Chef America and together they decided to create this restaurant in Mandalay Bay. Liberate Social offers artisanal sausage boards, ahi tuna cones, ‘New American bar food, a whole roast chicken, to belly-busing burgers. For a special cocktail experience, try Abou-Ganim’s very own recipe Cable Car with lemon juice, curacao, and rum.
Twist
If you want to experience the outstanding cuisine of three-star Michelin chef Pierre Gagnaire, then Mandarin Oriental on the Stirp is the place to visit. At Twist, he introduces a whole new concept, mixing and matching textures and flavors in the most distinctive ways.
