My first time in Vegas so wanted to kickstart things with a themed restaurant. This place is awesome with a great atmosphere and also kid friendly which is nice to see. The food was so good and they had some interesting items on the menu. I went for the korean stir fry which was so zesty and refreshing with a slight punch to it. Our server Lisa was amazing and provided an outstanding service! She is great with all the customers - so friendly and attentive and complimented my outfit which made my day! Great deal on the refill cocktails too and the complimentary photo was a nice touch. Definitely a great place to come if you’re visiting Vegas for the first time!

My child picked Rainforest Café for her birthday, and it was a great choice! The jungle-themed ambiance and fun environment made it really special for her. Our server, Craig, was friendly and fast — our food came out quickly and everything was just right. She ordered the kids’ pizza and loved it (she ate the whole thing!). I had the Cajun mac and cheese, which had great flavor — pasta cooked al dente with a nice spicy kick. Overall, a fun and tasty experience! Someone did come by to make balloons for tips and we had a turtle and a crown made.

First time at a rainforest cafe and it was awesome. I sat right next to the giant butterfly and she was pretty chill. She seemed to like it here. I love the thunder and the vines and it was fun looking around and spotting a new critter every second. Our server was Ronnee and she was awesome. She was really nice and she gave me a refill and told me how to turn off the lights on my cup. Also I got to keep the cup. We got our our picture taken and it’s awesome that that's for free!!!! Protect our rainforests!!!!!

We came here because they closed most locations in California and this was the highlight of our Saturday Night. Victoria was our server and he was great and he completely made our mood light and joyous. He knew our special dietary restrictions and everytime he came by we couldn’t help but laugh. Probably the best service receivers by a smart witty server.

Food was pretty good. The ribs were very very spicy. Everything was delicious. I’ll Ence was fantastic! Animals are scattered throughout the restaurant and they move and dance to the music. Thunderstorms and lightning happen about every 15 minutes or so. Craig was great!

An almost perfect visit! Our food was incredible, and once we were seated the service was top notch. Such a great place! Unfortunately, it was a bit of a weird start. When we arrived there were about 3-4 other groups waiting, and looking into the restaurant there were a lot of empty tables (not reserved) and a lot of workers, so I didn't understand the wait. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated, again even though there were lots of workers and free tables. So that was really confusing. Additionally, we were seated at probably the worst table in the entire place. A high traffic corner area. I would return for sure, because the food was amazing, but knowing what I know now about the layout of the restaurant, I would specifically ask for a table in a different location.

After 5 days in Las Vegas and several expensive but mediocre meals with poor service, we tried the Rainforest Cafe, and what an amazing experience it was!! Our server, Craig, was so friendly and provided excellent service, and the food was phenomenal. I highly recommend checking this place out! Thanks again to Craig for making this a wonderful dining experience!!

My first time going to a Rainforest Cafe. We parked at Miracle Mile and it turned out to be outside of the mall. We ended up having to pay $18 for parking since it took over an hour to walk over and eat. The vibe inside was sad and dark at lunch. We brought my friend's 10 year old son, but he wasn't very interested. We shared and appetizer sampler. The fried items on there were all soggy. It felt like they pre-fried and kept it warm, instead of frying fresh. They need to do better.

Drinks were yummy, we loved that we could take the souvenir glasses home with us! Food was nice and filling, we got 3 appetizers to share (lettuce wraps, nachos, and safari fries (not pictured)). The overall atmosphere was great for people of all ages. I'd say it is definitely an experience and a must-try! (Be prepared if you have littles or sensitivities to loud sounds or flashing/dimming lights). Service was prompt and friendly. Dining was upstairs and gift shop was downstairs. We also received a free mini photo and keychain to put the photo in. We did not purchase the regular sized photos and frames which were $10 for 1 photo, $20 for photo + frame, or $50 for 2 photos + frame. Overall great and fun experience to bring friends and family when visiting the strip!

Honestly pretty expensive for the food you get. The atmosphere is really cool. There are animal animatronics on the walls/trees. Every 20 minutes there is a thunderstorm, which we were glad they warned us before it happened the first time. The neatest part was that they take you on a "safari" as you are seated. They have a neat jungle track playing, however it plays over regular music which is kind of weird. Someone came over to our table and took our picture. Afterwards, they came back and said we had a free "gift". She gave us two blank keychains and the photos she took. Then offered to have us but bigger photos. Which felt a little lame. We said no and still got to keep the keychains. We both ordered appetizers and they were okay. The lettuce wrap was super spicy, but also had a lot of great flavor. Neat experience, but not sure I would return.

Came here for dinner. They were all full except the 8pm time slot, which was very late for dinner, but it's fine. Our server was amazing! Attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. I hadn't been to a Rainforest Cafe since the one in Downtown Disney in Anaheim closed. It was a fun experience to be back and feel as if you're in a jungle plus the various (fake) animals surrounding you with the sound effects. Ordered blackened fish tacos, seafood trio platter, and coconut shrimp and salmon plate for a family style dinner. It was delicious! They have their coconut shrimp down IMO. Food came out quick. Great dinner! One of the best meals.

Went here today for my FREE $25.00 off Landry's Select Club, lunch. I ordered the Taco SaladW/chicken. It was good. The ambiance is exciting. Very fun place for children. We had to park in the Miracle Mile parking garage, then walked quite a bit. 1st hour is free, $18.00 each hour after that. We spent 5 minutes or more looking for a parking space, then walked 10 to get to the Rainforest Cafe. I highly suggest parking at the Westgate or Sahara (free) and taking the Monorail and get off at the planet Hollywood stop, and then walk over to the Rainforest Cafe. No waiting if you sit in the bar area, staff was very friendly. Service is very good.

My family and I are here on our trip to Vegas. This wait wasn't long. We got seated pretty quick. The atmosphere here is so fun! Kids will love it! They have lightning and thunder storms every so often which is fun. They have a big menu with tons of different food options. Everything we ordered we liked. They portions are big and filling. Some of us even shared plates. I wish they had more locations of Rainforest Cafe around.

Went here with our party of 10 (as it's easy to make a reservation here), and it was a decent experience. For the strip, not particular expensive, but food is "you get what you pay for". I got the trio of ribs, steak, and coconut shrimp, and would not recommend it. The steak was very tough, despite being medium rare. Ribs were good, as were the coconut shrimp though. Service was fun-staff here are trained to be fun which is nice! Great place for children if they like the animal/rainforest experience, or for a large group with varied food tastes.

Came here to celebrate my son's 5th birthday. We didn't do a birthday package but when they asked us if we were celebrating anything before we were seated, we did let them know about the occassion. This Rainforest Cafe was a little hard for us to find - we parked in the Miracle Mile Parking Garage and eventually made it there. The restaurant itself seemed a little small, but it was still fun to walk around with my littles so they could see all of the animals. Our server was Anna and she was so incredibly sweet. I ordered a Chicken sandwich and it was huge and absolutely delicious - in fact we were all surprised by the quality of our food. Everything that was ordered was so good and the portions are really plentiful. They even came out and sang happy birthday to my son which he almost liked as much as the rainforest thunder storms.

Some much nostalgia being able to come here after the one in Disneyland closed down. The service was great. The food and ambience were good, including the show that happens every 20min. Even got to take home a free glass beer cup form ordering a drink. We love this place!

Graduation celebration The 5 of us embarked on this evening and it was all about the 5 yr old kindergarten boy. He is amazing. An adventure and adorable. Seated within 15 minutes of reservation. He was Leary of the gorilla at the upstairs photo op but we made it up on the way out. He enjoyed the ambiance. From the elephant heads moving and eyes opening in addition to there sounds, to the butterfly wings, money swinging and the other animals found in the kids adventure book given to all children. He ordered 2 entrees and ate off of almost everyone's plate. After waiting about 40 min and the place wasn't crowded for food. We ordered pizza, hots , 2 pastas (1 a bit dry to a newby) and a salad. We drank: water, adult juice (5 year old description), mocktails, sprite and watered down strawberry lemonade. We had a blast! This celebration was a success for the grandson and that's what was important. He took advantage of 2 photo ops on the way out .

Rainforest cafe is what it is. We've been to a few over the past 20 or so years. They are all about the same. But since our last visit 10 years ago, it's gone way downhill. Classic drinks with souvenir cups, pictures taken at the table etc. The food was not good. Frozen, fried, tasteless, dry. The kids meal came with fruit which was just a banana. The only reason it gets 2 stars is because our waiter was wonderful. He gave us the best service we had on vacation. Ricardo was great!

My experience is strictly off vibes. We didn't get food. The restaurant is decorated so nice! It is a great place to bring kids! There is a little toy store on the first floor while the dining area is on the second floor. They have cute little 1-use birthday hats. There are giant fake animals that move and there is fake lightning that occurs periodically. We couldn't stay for the food because we arrived for our reservation late and had to go somewhere else shortly but the staff was very nice and understanding we had to leave.

We ordered the chicken blue mountain caprese sandwich but forgot to take a picture because we ate it right away . It was tasty and the chicken breast was juicy too. We also shared the artichoke dip with chips and pretty good appetizer. Creamy and the tomatoes added to the overall flavor of the cream and artichoke. Very cute jungle like atmosphere. Customer service was very attentive. We celebrated a birthday and we got a complimentary chocolate cake as well. Kid friendly atmosphere.

I've always wanted to go to Rainforest Cafe! I'm so glad I went and get to experience this restaurant with my sister! Rainforest Cafe is in the Las Vegas strip. It was the most difficult to find where this restaurant is located. We parked at Planet Hollywood thinking the restaurant is inside the casino (plus it said so in Maps). We had to call the restaurant to find out where they're located and we walked outside the strip. The restaurant is huge! They had a lot of merch and so many animatronics! We got sat down next to the gorillas. Our server was very nice and explained that it thunderstorms every few minutes and the names of the gorillas LOL. The food was so good and they give so much!!! The nachos were fantastic! They also give you a free keychain the first visit. They took a picture of me and my sister and put it in the keychain. That made our experience even more amazing. I would love to come here again

I had been wanting to come to a Rainforest Cafe for a while. I can see how this would be a good place for kids' birthday parties. The theming is well done, albeit a tad too dark. To the point where a few people needed their phone's flashlight to read the menu. If I had to pick one word to describe the food here, it would be... dry. Dad ordered brunch chilaquiles. Dry (but tasted good). I ordered the chicken and waffles. Dry. The attempt to garnish my dish with small slices of strawberry and raw jalapeño looked low effort and haphazard. Not really impressed but I'm glad I satisfied my curiosity. Thank you for your hard work, Brian! It's not easy being only one of two servers on a shift. I want you to know that my dad and I appreciated your effort, humor, and candor about why the Shrimp and Grit Cakes went six feet under here.

10000% recommend this restaurant if you have kids, they have animatronics, balloon artist, and a gift shop. The drinks were actually great but the best part is you get to keep the cup after with the logo on it. Honestly, the food was okay, but what you are really paying for is the presentation of everything! Highly recommend this place if you have a birthday celebration, you will enjoy the service, show, and free dessert.

The food tasted pretty mediocre in my opinion. Maybe it is simply a case of ordering the wrong dish. I was not expecting the shrimp tacos to come with shrimp that was fried in thick batter. I thought the shrimp would be lightly poached. Our server was very friendly and chatty. She made sure our waters were always topped off. The environment is a little bit tacky, but I can see it being a huge hit for families with small children. I probably would not come back unless I brought my son. Beware they have a series of thunderstorms with realistic sound effects every 20 minutes or so. The dark combined with loud thunder noises can be a bit scary for younger infants / toddlers.

So coming from L.A, there are not a lot of Rainforest Cafe's here. I wanted to come and have the experience even if it is a chain. And it was AMAZING!!!! Why aren't there more restaurants like this with a themed ambiance? And the waitress, Lisa, wonderful person. Such a wonderful energy and heart and her kindness and effort. She cares and it is not fake at all. Def recommend. It is on the 2nd floor just FYI near to the South strip

We were looking for a family friendly restaurant on the strip. I had never been to a Rainforest Cafe before, so I was eager to try it out. I will say that this place has an unbeatable ambiance, the sound and light effects all make for a very exciting and fun dining experience. It's unlike any other restaurant I've been to. A+ ambiance, with animatronic animals nestled in the rainforest. I was excited to sit beneath the elephants. They were very entertaining throughout our meal. I'm not sure if there's an accessible entrance to the restaurant, but there's a set of stairs up to the restaurant, just FYI. Overall, it's really a joyful setting. The staff are friendly and inviting. Frankly, the food for me was an afterthought, though the highlights were the appetizers, bruschetta and the sampler (awesome appetizer adventure). The kid's menu also was a hit. I have seen that they offer a brunch and the offerings sound good. Maybe it's best to get something fried here? We may have just come during the wrong time of day. Still had a lovely time here!

I can't recall the last time I've been in a Rainforest Cafe! The decor has always been interesting and never a dull moment, when the thunder and lightning begins!

Know that if you take a good photo upon entering they will force you to take an awkward boring photo and give you that one with your keychain. That was incredibly disappointing. Who needs a "side hug" when you could be posing like an elephant? The rest of the staff was decent. The fries were surprisingly good. The drinks were as to be expected. The nostalgia ran deep.

You come to Rainforest cafe not because of the food, but for the environment. My kids missed the Rainforest Cafe at Disneyland so when we decided to go to Vegas, we had to stop here. The every 15 min lightening storms are fun. If you sit inside, they turn off the lights (I mean, its already so dark, but they make it even darker). You hear lightening and the speaker system is so strong, you feel the base. You also see bolts of lightening. My kids loved the souvenir cups; they glow at the bottom and they come in all sorts of fun flavors. $14 The kids meals are mediocre. They mostly got burgers and mac & cheese which looked plain. I did like that it came with fruits. The adult meals are also mediocre. I got the fajitas and they weren't authentic by any means and small in portion. Drinks were decent. They have a full bar. We got a long beach which was mildy strong. Friendly staff and fast service. If you sit outside, you can see the strip which is really cool.

Came for the happy hour at the bar and we were not disappointed! There were five of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our drinks and the bartender. She was incredibly friendly and nice to chat with. The ambiance is really nice, we loved the "thunder storms" and liked the animatronics as well. Overall, it was a lot of fun.

Even though my kids had a good time, the parking for Rainforest Cafe is just awful. I paid $25 to park at the miracle mile, which is just ridiculous. I made reservations online. At the downstairs check-in, she said I was "checked in", but didn't provide clear instructions on what to do so we waited downstairs. When I asked about the table ten minutes later, she told me vague instructions on what to do again so we just went upstairs. When I checked in upstairs, we were seated immediately. The food at the restaurant was over priced as well. The Caribbean rice was delicious though. The kids didn't mind, but the animatronics were old and a little frightening. As a local, I will probably never go back because of the parking.

Griselda was my food runner last night and she presented our food with the best smile and attitude ever. We were at the Planet Hollywood location. She was very pleasant. The ambiance was amazing. Griselda went above and beyond with offering us everything we needed to enjoy our dinner. WE WILL BE BACK :)

Awful service. Every single person besides one nice lady out at the bottom floor. First Lady to check us in didn't even look at us when she's talking and basically. Second Lady was screaming to tell us where the bathroom? Weird way to talk to a family with seniors and kids but fast forward to our server. I'm very understanding of how hard it is being a server. I've been one for 9 years but this lady has a chip on her shoulder the WHOLE TIME. And we speak with respect and a smile to our servers. She got an order wrong and came back and Spoke over me saying we ordered this item.. listen.. we pointed at the picture and asked for the dish by name. It would have been fine if she didn't come back talking to us with an attitude. We took the plate anyway. In addition to the crummy attitude she was hard to reach when we needed things. When we finally got to leave we ran into another family that had a reservation for 7 and has not been able to get the hosts attention for 25 mins. Everyone was upset. Do yourself and your family a favor.. go anywhere else.

It was very cool going inside, out dated but it was really different, the food was absolutely terrible, the mozzarella sticks were just balls, nothing was home made here, couldn't finish the food it was dripping in grease, the manager gave me $13 off the bill because of it, don't really recommend going here unless you like being drunk having greasy food, the drinks were actually really cool, $22 you had a small buzz and the glasses light up , but other then that not coming back here

I love Rainforest Cafe! The ambience is incredible, especially at this location. It truly felt like we were in a forest, and our toddler loved the animals. The menu has changed a lot since the first time I visited a Rainforest Cafe location, and I will say that I have never had a meal there as good as my first one (bacon-wrapped, crab-and-cheese stuffed shrimp with rice). But the seafood platter I ordered this time was pretty good. The Rainforest Tsunami Cake, though, really took the--well--cake. Our server seemed pretty hassled on this visit and went long periods of time without checking on us.

We came here for the nostalgia. Our local rainforest cafe closed years ago and we had to go again when in Vegas. The food was ok, as the menu is mostly geared towards children. The vibes were cool but it was a little too loud with both rainforest sounds and radio songs playing. The wait was long even though we made a reservation. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Safari Steve was very nice and helpful. Thank you! We might come here again for the experience. If you're in Vegas it's worth checking out.

We wandered in looking for a quick bite... and ended up on a full-blown jungle adventure. Thunderstorms rolled overhead, gorillas stirred in the mist, and animatronic wildlife kept us on our toes--but thankfully, no stampedes. Just good vibes and even better food. The coconut shrimp was crispy perfection, and the Korean lettuce wraps? Packed with flavor and surprisingly fresh. Every dish hit harder than expected--easily the best food we had in Vegas. Between the wild atmosphere, friendly service, and dishes that actually deliver, this place is a total win. We're already planning our next expedition. Thank the rainforest gods the animals stayed animatronic... we were too full to run.

The restaurant is always fun for my kids, but the food was extremely overpriced and not very good. The T bone steak had a lot of fat, and my wife's salad was done so wrong she had to send it back. The real problem is how bad our server, Dee, was. She was very short and not attentive at all. Throughout our entire meal she never even checked how the food was, to refill drinks or just check if we needed anything else. She also forgot my drink and the bigger problem was I never even saw her again, to ask about my drink, until she dropped my check off. When she dropped off the check we had 4 empty cups on the table and we asked for refills, she filled 1 water cup and walked away

The food is overpriced and not very good but is edible and the rainforest ambiance is fun and can make it worth a visit. Should be 2 1/2 stars, but I have good memories of how the restaurant used to be. What I really DID NOT LIKE were sales pitches we received: * We given a "free" key chain photo and then they came to our table and tried to sell us $50 photos. * We given a sales pitch by the waitress for some kind of restaurant club (sounded like a restaurant time share) * The waitress was fine but repeatedly tried to upsell us on food and drinks. It was especially annoying when she addressed the children directly with the upscale pitch.

I want to make sure Patrick gets all the praise he deserves. My family had reservations for dinner and the only public elevator to accommodate handicapped people was not working. I called the restaurant and asked what to do-thinking we were going to have to cancel. Patrick got on the phone and immediately knew what to do. He told me where to meet him and he'd take us up the freight elevator to the restaurant. Patrick went above and beyond to make sure ADA laws were met by taking us up the elevator to the restaurant. He apologized that the City owned elevator at Las Vegas Blvd and Harmon wasn't working and said they've complained several times but the City hasn't done anything to make sure the one elevator is working for handicap guests. Thank you Patrick for being an outstanding employee and taking care of your customers. The food was also amazing with great service!

Finally tried Rainforest Cafe and my daughter LOVED the place! But the food not so much... The place is set up like a rainforest/jungle with fake trees/leaves everything and animal statues/robots that kind of move. My kid is 4 years old and she was enjoying looking at all the animals. They have an extensive kids menu which is nice and my daughter chose the grilled cheese sandwich and she ate some of it but not much and we didn't like how they didn't have a a French fries (which she and most kids love) option... Us adults got the Rasta pasta which wasn't bad but kinda whatever and the korean gochuchang chicken plate that tasted kinda fake and reminded me of PF Chang's... The waitress seemed kind of out of it and only brought ONE small sharing plate when there were 3 of us and when we asked for more plates, she seemed kinda annoyed...I guess maybe she has a long day and was tired... Anywho, Rainforest Cafe is def worth trying once if you have kiddos but go for the ambiance, not the food...

What went well? Damon went well! What a great server! Quick, friendly, professional. When my mom had a bunch of questions, he was patient and kind. Food was good too! I had the island hopper chicken and shrimp with rice and it was excellent! Two on our party had the Rasta pasta and they loved it! My son had a basic burger and fries. It was huge and he ate the whole thing. He's 11 and I tried to get him to order off the kid's menu - no dice. I'm glad we got him a regular one. The kids got fun juices in a take home cup that glowed! It was a good meal. The elephants were noisy. Kept fake raining. Hooray!

The food was really good. We had a party of 13, and got a variety of dishes. Everyone thought the food was good. It's a bit pricey, but huge portions and I'm sure it's a bit expensive because it's on the Las Vegas Strip. The service was 110%!!!! Our waitress was so awesome. It took awhile for food, but again, we had a part of 13. The ambiance was cool for kids. The only drawback was parking and getting to the restaurant from the Planet Hollywood parking garage.

Came here on Friday around 11am without reservations and was seated immediately. It was very surprisingly as we came here Thursday night around 7:30pm and it was packed! Rainforest Cafe is a place great for kids as the decor is like a jungle and the stuffed animals on the wall would make noises and move every 15 min or so. Every once in awhile there would be sounds of a storm as well. Given that there were no kids in my party, why did we decide to come here? Well, there used to be one in San Francisco and it closed down and I really liked their paella here so we came here. Unfortunately paella is no longer on the menu! Service was pretty prompt and they even take pictures of you and give you a keychain! We decided to order pastalaya - a play on pasta with jambalaya and fish and chips. The pastalaya was really good! There is some heat to this which was a pleasant surprise. There were lots of meat-chicken, hot link, and shrimp. There were bell peppers, onions and tomato as well (the tomato was really good as it was almost like a palate cleanser). The garlic bread was nice and crispy too. The fish and chips were a really big portion and was fried really crispy. There were also a lot of fries too. Enjoyed the meal very much. Would come back again for a quick meal!

Came here for lunch during a recent trip. We didn't have a reservation but our wait was not long at all. Our waitress Michelle \Shelly was awesome. We were a larger group, and she was very patient, friendly, and attentive. We got two appetizer platters. They were great and a good variety. I had the burger which was also great!

My friends and I were looking forward to reliving our childhood dreams at the Rainforest Cafe and it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere is everything. Note the storm does come every 15-20 minutes, but it's not very loud and lasts around a minute. We all ordered drinks and with that you get a complimentary souvenir glass. The pina colada I ordered was fantastic. For my entree I got the Korean stir fry. It was better than I expected and I loved the crispy bits on top. I tried some of the Creole Mac n cheese and it was so yummy. I'd recommend this dish. I also tried a bite of my friend's chicken wrap and it was so good. I'm pleasantly surprised that all the food was so good. We all had the best time here. And shoutout to our server Christie she made our time even better here.

Damon was a great waiter. We had a wonderful brunch for our anniversary. Meet an adorable little man and took a souvenir photo. Go have some fun and look for Damon to be your safari guide

Incredibly Overpriced. I am embarrassed to say I paid $20 for a simple burger and fries. I am sure that the burger came from a frozen pack because of the shape and texture. I ordered it rare and got it well done. Service was similarly horrible, I had to ask for refills on drinks and was not checked on once during my meal. The only caveat was a free keychain and picture that they took of me and my boyfriend. I feel that this place is only suitable for small children and that adults or teens would not enjoy their time here. Horribly expensive for such terrible food and service.
