10 food halls in Las Vegas, ranked from worst to best
Looking for the best meal in Las Vegas? Food halls are all the rage. We’ve done a deep dive to make sure you grab the best meal next time you’re on the strip.
Food halls are the perfect place to grab a meal with friends and unwind after a long week of work. Few cities do food halls as well as Las Vegas. Just about every hotel on the strip has its own version. What was once a bustling buffet scene has been taken over by cafeteria-style eateries.
Buffets used to be a major draw to tourists and locals alike. As the 2020s rolled in, diners became less interested in all-you-can-eat settings. Hotels across the Strip slowly phased out their buffets and replaced them with open food halls offering a diverse range of options. High-quality meals in a setting where everyone in a group can find exactly what they’d like to eat became a quick hit.
Just about every hotel offers its own food hall, but which ones are worth your time? We’ve ranked Vegas’ iconic food scene from worst to best to ensure you grab the best meal next time you’re roaming the strip.
10. Excalibur: Castle Walk Food Court
Listen, if you’re in a pickle (no pun intended) and are seeking food after a Golden Knights game at T-Mobile Arena or are starving after a day of casino hopping, the Castle Walk Food Court isn’t the worst place to stop. This food hall has mostly fast-food-style chains, like Del Taco, Krispy Kreme, and Pizza Hut.
If you’re craving something greasy rather than high-end, look no further than the castle. Locals love this for a reliable light-night food stop, especially when parking at the hotel to head over to the arena.
9. The Venetian: Food Courts
Again, this one is technically a “court,” but it has big food hall energy. Of course, there are some fast food options, but The Venetian brings Italian flair to its list of options. There are traditional Venice-inspired cafés, paired with diverse options of quick take-out food.
I wouldn’t recommend this one if you’re seeking a high-end food hall experience, but The Venetian has plenty of options to choose from.
8. Caesars Palace: Celebrity Food Hall
If you’re a fan of the Food Network, you won’t want to miss the food hall in Caesars Palace. Here, celebrity chefs like Bobby Flay, Guy Fieri, Rick Bayless, Esther Choi, and even the Cake Boss himself, Buddy Valastro, bring their classic recipes to the Las Vegas strip. This is a great spot to take friends who are visiting from out of town. The food is highly reviewed, and the fun of dining at a celebrity restaurant can’t be beat.
7. Fontainebleau: Promenade Food Hall
If you’re seeking a truly aesthetically pleasing food hall, Fontainebleau Promenade Food Hall is one of the cutest spots you can dine at. Each food stall has long, hanging plants dangling from the top. Plus, there are a lot of unique options, like Nonna’s Lobster Shack, a spot to grab quick seafood delights.
6. Harrah’s: Fulton Street Food Hall
The food hall in Harrah’s features two of the restaurants above: Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay and Chicken Guy, from the mayor of Flavor Town himself, Guy Fieri. If you want to try these restaurants in a less crowded environment, Harrah’s could be the stop for you. However, it is not solely celebrity-based. It also offers Fulton Coffee, a sandwich and coffee bar, as well as Fulton Noodle Bar, which serves delicious Chinese cuisine and soups.
5. Rio: Canteen Food Hall
Heading out with a big group that’s all craving different things? Rio’s Canteen Food Hall has options for just about everyone. From sushi to burgers, burritos to cheesesteaks, the diverse options make it a great stop when you’re feeling indecisive about which style of food you’re looking for. Locals especially love the variety of comfort food.
4. Aria: Proper Eats Food Hall
This food hall is a great choice for breakfast, as it features Egghead, which is known for its impeccable breakfast sandwiches. There’s more to this hall than just breakfast, of course. You can also grab Korean fried chicken from Seoul Bird or Italian-inspired sandwiches at Parm.
If you’re looking for that old-school Vegas buffet feeling, every Sunday during football season, eat all you can for $59 in a promotion called The Ultimate Football Tailgate. Cheer on the Raiders while eating all your favorite dishes!
3. Cosmopolitan: Block 16 Urban Food Hall
The Cosmopolitan’s take on the food hall packs a punch. While they may not have the most options, the restaurants in the hall do not disappoint. You can grab a hot chicken sandwich from Hattie B’s or New Orleans-style donuts, coffee, and sliders from District.
2. Resorts World: Famous Food Street Eats
Talk about options! Resorts World’s food hall offers a whopping 20 restaurants. There is a serious variety to be had here. There’s build-your-own ramen and pho bowls, Texas-style barbecue, and Mediterranean options, and that’s just scratching the surface.
If you’re looking to dine at another celebrity restaurant, Resorts World offers Streetbird, which specializes in Nashville-hot sandwiches and is created by Marcus Samuelsson. Would you rather have something more musical? You can snag a teriyaki bowl from Kuru Kuru Pa Yakitori, which was pioneered by DJ Steve Aoki. Locals say this is one of the best spots on the strip to check out!
1. Park MGM: Eataly
Of course, Park MGM’s Eataly tops our list. Locals and visitors alike can’t get enough of the delicious Italian options offered at MGM’s Eataly. It has a tremendous amount of 5-star reviews, and for good reason. This food hall features stops for wine, waffles, pasta, pizza, and more. There’s even an option for private dining if that’s something that interests you.
Try out one or many of Park MGM’s Eatly delicious options, and don’t forget to end the meal with a scoop or two of gelato!
