Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas
Las Vegas, United States

Adam D. Tihany's clean-lined interiors, three pools, an award-winning spa, and the French-inflected Twist restaurant place it in a tier apart from the gaming-floor resorts that dominate its neighbourhood.

03.Contemporary French Fine Dining
Guy Savoy
Las Vegas, United States
Inside the Augustus Tower at Caesars Palace, Restaurant Guy Savoy operates in a register that most Las Vegas dining rooms don't attempt: unhurried, formally French, and built around a wine program that earned three consecutive Star Wine List rankings in 2026.

24.Hotel
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

25.Bar
Marche Bacchus
Las Vegas, United States
A retail wine shop and lakeside restaurant in the residential northwest of Las Vegas, Marche Bacchus occupies a category of its own in a city that rarely prioritises neighbourhood dining.

Hattie B’s Hot Chicken
