"Vegas’s newest spot for people watching is The Guest House, which attracts a cross-section of subcultures to an outdoor mall off The Strip. Influencers pose next to dolled-up housewives, while UNLV students celebrate birthdays next to billboard-famous lawyers. While the food is perfectly fine, it’s the celebrity cachet and the Tulum-meets-Vegas venue that’s really bringing in those crowds. The Guest House recently opened for brunch and lunch, though dinner is the busiest (and the best time to go), when prime see-and-be-seen seating is a banquette near the shimmering cylindrical light fixture in the main dining room. If you don’t want to commit to a whole meal, catch up with friends at the bar with a glass of champagne, fresh oysters, and a plate of spicy rigatoni before snapping that selfie to feel relevant." - emmy kasten
