Anchored in the Las Vegas Arts District, Main St. Provisions puts the spotlight on steaks and seasonal cooking. The open kitchen means you can watch your dinner take shape while you kick back in a lively, stylish dining room.
Steaks are the main draw, but there’s also sustainably sourced seafood and rotating vegetable dishes. There’s a bit of local pride here too — a Hell’s Kitchen champ is tied to its story, and the city even honored them with a proclamation day.

Chef Brian Howard’s modern American restaurant brings a laid-back but ambitious vibe to Spring Mountain Road. The team embraces Old World cooking — some techniques go way back — and layers in New World ingredients and ideas.
Dishes change often depending on what’s in season, but a handful of signatures always stick around. The custom hearth grill is the kitchen’s pride, turning out everything from dry-aged wagyu to creative small plates for sharing.
Highlights are Spanish Octopus with squid ink risotto, oxtail hummus, and whatever’s fresh from local growers. Cocktails are crafted in the kitchen with small-batch spirits and fresh-pressed juices, matching the food’s attention to detail.

The fried chicken and waffles are the thing to order, and they never disappoint. There’s also shrimp and grits, buttermilk biscuits, and slow-cooked dishes that get plenty of time to turn tender. Behind the bar, the bourbon selection is impressive and pairs with just about anything you’ll eat here.
If you’re craving something hearty and comforting, Yardbird absolutely delivers. The commitment to real-deal Southern food comes through in every dish, and the bourbon list alone is worth a pit stop.

Classic Roman pasta dishes like Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, and Rigatoni all’Amatriciana are crafted with the technique Funke picked up in Italy — no shortcuts here. Seasonal antipasti rotate in and out, depending on what’s fresh.
Pasta is the main attraction, drawing in crowds for creamy Carbonara and spicy Arrabbiata. The pizzas arrive wafer-thin, straight from a wood-fired oven, with blistered crusts and toppings that let the ingredients do the talking.

13. Mizumi
Mizumi, tucked inside Wynn Las Vegas, is where Japanese cuisine hits its stride. The kitchen sources fish daily from Japan and works with artisanal producers worldwide, so dishes look as good as they taste.
Seating options fit your mood — grab a spot at the sushi bar for a personalized experience, or head to the teppanyaki room where chefs cook right at your table with a bit of flair. If the weather is right, ask for Sansui Dining and sit on a floating table over the koi pond.
The omakase menu is where Mizumi flexes, letting the chef pick premium ingredients and prepare them in both traditional and modern styles. Robatayaki grilling brings smoky depth to seafood and veggies. Starting with Japanese whisky or sake at the bar isn’t a bad choice before you settle in for dinner.
