The 38 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas | Eater Vegas

"The only-in-Vegas vibe of Ocean Prime takes hold before food even hits the table. Located smack dab in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip, the restaurant is furnished with breathtaking design, like a centerpiece bar flanked in warm lighting and a ceiling brushed with soft tassels that loom over tan flooring and white tablecloths. The terrace on the fourth story is temperate most of the year via ample misters and heaters — a necessity given that it looks out over Las Vegas Boulevard. While taking in views, order a shellfish tower that dramatically flourishes dry ice fog while being ferried to the table. The steakhouse produces excellent steaks broiled at 1,200 degrees — made all the more exciting given its eight options for accompaniments. And the seafood is not to be overlooked — sushi rolls packed with fresh and supple hamachi and tuna. For a more intimate vibe, take to the lounge for chips and caviar dip and gin and tonic cocktails infused with orange blossom and rhubarb. —Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Know before you go: Ocean Prime is located in the standalone 63 building, which has no parking. Pay to valet or allow 15 minutes to walk from the Aria or Cosmopolitan garage." - Matthew Kang
