From a quick bite to a multi-course gourmet meal, you can find whatever restaurant you want in Downtown Las Vegas!
For years, eating during a trip “Downtown” meant finding a place at one of the casinos on Fremont Street. Nowadays, there’s a wide-ranging bar and restaurant scene across Las Vegas Boulevard from the casino district in an area known as “Fremont East.” There are also several non-casino options on Fremont Street and within a block or two.

Quick Bites on or near Fremont Street
Project BBQ Las Vegas
HOURS: Mon – Thurs: 11 am – 2 am | Fri – Sat: 11 am – 4 am | Sun: 11 am – 3 am
What started as a food truck in the area was so popular it actually became incorporated into the construction of the new Circa Resort a few years ago. Project BBQ Las Vegas is Carolina barbecue at its best and can be found at the head of Fremont Street, near the Main Street Stage (which usually has a fun cover band playing!).
International Eatery
HOURS: Sun – Thurs: 11 am – 11 pm | Fri – Sat: 11 am – 1 am
The International Eatery, inside Neonopolis at 450 Fremont Street, offers – as the name implies – a variety of cuisines, usually including Mexican, Italian, and Chinese. The menu is always changing, so be sure to check out your options.
American Coney Island
HOURS: Open 24 Hours
Hot dogs, chili fries, burgers, gyro sandwiches… Do I have your attention? Satisfy a quick craving for a reasonable price at American Coney Island, under the outside escalator at The D Casino. There is a small seating area or you can grab and go watch the many street performers!
White Castle
HOURS: Open 24 Hours
Right across the street from the Eatery is a place East Coasters swear by: White Castle. Please note that Harold and Kumar sightings are rare. Famous for its sliders and open 24/7.
Fast casual on Fremont Street in the Casino District
Heart Attack Grill
HOURS:Daily 11 am – 10 pm
The name says it all: Heart Attack Grill! Some burger joints try to pretend they aren’t that bad for you… but this place revels in its badness! The theme is taken to extremes, from the waitresses dressed as nurses to diners wearing hospital gowns. And did we mention you get a spanking if you don’t finish your meal?!?
Located at the corner of Fremont Street and Las Vegas Blvd – just look for the sign that says, “Over 350 LBS Eats Free”!
Triple 7 Restaurant & Microbrewery
HOURS: Fri – Sat: 5 pm – 11 pm | Sun, Mon & Thurs: 5 pm – 10 pm | Tues – Wed: CLOSED
If you love good beer, head to the Main Street Station Casino and check out Triple 7 Restaurant & Microbrewery. Scour their huge menu of pub food, sushi, and excellent hand-made beer.
Tony Roma’s
HOURS: Daily 4:30 pm – 11 pm
The only remaining Tony Roma’s restaurant in Las Vegas is inside the Fremont Hotel/Casino! Ribs, steaks, chicken, and seafood are available, as is the signature Kickin’ Shrimp appetizer, but the best bargain in town might be the $8.99 prime rib special.
Only available from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, with the special, you get a generous cut of meat and two sides – definitely an old-time Vegas deal!
Chicago Brewing Co.
HOURS: Daily 11:30 am – 1:30 am
Another top spot for beer and good bar eats is Chicago Brewing Co. inside the Four Queens Hotel/Casino. The pizza is excellent and cigars are available for those who imbibe!
Fine Dining on Fremont Street in the Casino District
Redwood Steakhouse
HOURS: Daily 11 am – 10 pm
One of our favorites is the hidden gem, Redwood Steakhouse, inside the Hawaiian-themed California Hotel/Casino. There is something for every diner, from the bone-in ribeye steak to the Colorado lamb chops to the seared scallop and shrimp platter.
Save room for dessert, especially the Apple Dumpling! Service is excellent. Reservations are suggested, as the dining room does get busy.
Hugo’s Cellar
HOURS: Daily 5 pm – 10 pm
Look to Hugo’s Cellar inside Four Queens for the consummate old-school Vegas dining experience in Downtown. The ladies are greeted with a long-stemmed red rose upon arrival. Most diners relax in deep booths – just like you could imagine Frank or Dean would have done.
The menu includes steaks, lobster, beef wellington, Caesar salads prepared tableside, and desserts. The bananas foster and Cherries Jubilee are prepared tableside.
Top of Binion’s Steakhouse
HOURS: Fri – Sat: 5 pm – 11 pm | Sun, Mon & Thurs: 5 pm – 10pm | Tues – Wed: CLOSED
In 1965, when The Mint Tower was completed, it was one of the tallest structures in all of Nevada. Today, with The Mint having long been folded into Binion’s, the Top of Binion’s Steakhouse still has memorable views of Downtown, and great food. Aged Black Angus beef is carved in-house, and the maple bourbon glazed pork belly is to die for!
Golden Nugget Restaurants
With the purchase of the Golden Nugget Casino brand by Tilman Fertita, the confluence of Landry’s restaurants and the Nugget brand was cemented. This means several fine dining options are available inside the Golden Nugget on Fremont Street, depending on your tastes!
Chart House and its 75,000-gallon aquarium (a must-see Downtown) serves great seafood and slow-roasted prime rib, Vic & Anthony’s got its start in Houston and the original location regularly makes lists of “Top Ten Steakhouses in America,” while Saltgrass Steak House is a more affordable option for families.
Chart House
HOURS: Mon – Thurs: 4 pm – 10 pm | Fri – Sat: 12 pm – 10 pm

Both feature exquisite steaks and are flush with homages to Vegas’ past. Both are great options if you want to impress a date or even your significant other.

7th & Carson
HOURS: Mon – Sat: 9 am – 8 pm | Sun: 9 am – 5 pm
Head south on Carson Street from Container Park and find the delight known as 7th & Carson. This is, you guessed it – another great place for brunch!
Eclectic menu (don’t miss the Stuffed French Toast!), patio seating and bottomless cocktails – this is worth the walk to 616 East Carson Avenue!
EAT
HOURS: Thurs – Mon: 8 am – 2 pm
EAT is simply named, but the tastes are anything but simple! Right across the street from 7th & Carson, located at 707 East Carson Ave., Eat calls itself the “Breakfast and Lunch Joint.”
Chef Natalie Young’s menu includes biscuits and gravy, chilaquiles, shrimp and grits, and both corned beef hash and prime rib hash!
Nacho Daddy & Pizza Rock
Just north of the casino district are two places that are always busy: Pizza Rock and Nacho Daddy. The former bakes gourmet pizza at 201 North 3rd Street, while the latter doles out Mexican dishes and margaritas at 113 North 4th Street.
