My visit to Rainforest Café Las Vegas was nothing short of amazing! Our server, Ms. Karen, did a phenomenal job. She brought our condiments right on time, checked on us at all the perfect moments, and was so polite and kind throughout the experience. Her service truly stood out! We were seated right next to the elephants, and the thunderstorm jungle theme with the flashing lights was such a wow factor. It felt like we were dining in the middle of a real rainforest—so creative and immersive! My man and I had no idea where to eat, and we just happened to spot this restaurant—and I’m SO glad we gave it a try. It’s a solid 10 out of 10. I ordered the steak and shrimp with rice (absolutely delicious!), and he had the jerk pasta, which was perfectly seasoned and fresh. The drinks were super tasty too! The entire vibe was fun, relaxing, and magical. I’m definitely coming back and highly recommend this place to everyone—great food, beautiful decor, and top-tier service. 🌿🐘🍹

First time at Rain forest since they left my city a while ago. This brought me back to the amazing ambiance and food I had loved growing up. Now with my own family it was great to see none of the things I loved as a kid changed. From the decorated walls, animatronics, and amazing lightening storm. The food was delicious. Perfectly cooked and delivered very quickly. Our waiter Steve was accommodating and extremely knowledgeable on the menu. He was very friendly and attentive to what we needed. Never had an empty beverage and was always around when we needed service. I appreciate the other staff assisting as well and bringing out our food. I can really tell this wait staff excels at team work. Loved our visit and the food. Will definitely be coming back.

Our server, Victor was so great! Super friendly and easy to talk to, made us laugh, and was very helpful. He did a great job! Food was yummy! I didn’t get a picture of any of it though. I had the coconut fried shrimp, and loved the coconut curry dipping sauce to go along with it. I also got the strawberry mojito to drink, and it was delicious! My husband had the jerk chicken and shrimp pasta and loved it! Our kids devoured the kids cheese pizza and little cheeseburger sliders. It was a win for everyone! The atmosphere is fun, and there is so much to look at. We got to sit under the “sky” and loved watching it change, and experience the thunderstorm. Overall, we had a great time and made great memories there as a family.

Service was not good, even though the place was not full. I thought there would be way more animatronics, but not really. I was not impressed with all the hype. I thought it would be not only better but bigger also. I had such a hard time finding anything on the menu that I would eat I ended up just picking a cheeseburger. However, the dessert was really good. The volcano cake was delicious. But it took a long time and the waters were empty most of the time.

The food was amazing, but it took a while for the food to come out. We did not get asked if we wanted refills until we were about to leave, but we saw the other tables for the same waitress being helped. The atmosphere is awesome so much to look at.

Our server Dominic was great he was very kind and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was great the food was ok . Some of the vegetables were a little undercooked. But overall the kids loved the place

I’ve never been to the Rainforest Cafe before so I was super excited to see what the fuss was about. I love the theming of the restaurant! However, I can see how it could become over stimulating with all the noises. Dominique was our server. He was kind and attentive. Our food came out much faster than we expected! I had the Anaconda Pasta. It was delicious!

Victor was really amazing at being a great host and making sure that we are a valued customer. We felt like family and him allow us to be a part of his household. The fact that he memorized our order was a nice special touch. This man was top of the line and an asset to your company.

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!

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 .

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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! Clarissa is making sure that I eat, drink, and relax! She is an energizer bunny! Keeping the bar spotless and my cocktails coming! Thanks C! I'll be back!

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.

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!

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.

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.

great place to reminisce about how cool the rainforest cafe was as a kid. Our server was amazing. Came to try the cake and it was so yummy. Loved the gift shop as well and got one of their weighted heated plushies!

We went for the experience and environment and were not disappointed. Huge hit for our kids. We got seated near the elephant and had a great view of the restaurant. Our server was engaging and hilarious. Food was better than expected. Our wonderful waitress even told us to go out on the deck for views of the city (great photo op here). We stood out there for a bit and enjoyed the view. Took off 1 star for the difficulty of finding the location. We parked in the Planet Hollywood lot as recommended and it is several stairs, sidewalks, mall entrances and exits later. I would plan extra time if arriving for a reservation just to be sure! Otherwise, we would for sure go back!

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.

Honestly the best meal I ate during a week long trip to Las Vegas. Order the lettuce wraps, they are amazing. We had great, fast and friendly 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!

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!

30 minutes after being seated, we finally had a waitress approach our table. Once we ordered, the food took a long time. When it arrived at our table, it was room temperature and locked flavor. While the rainforest environment is fun to see and be surrounded by, I would not recommend coming for the food. Or the service.

Megan R.

Yelp
The place is gorgeous. Definitely decorated to fit the name. The kids absolutely loved it inside. However, the service and food was not worth the price we paid. We get the "ready text" and we sit and wait at the hostess stand where no one appears for about 10/12min. As soon as we sat down we're being asked what we want to drink without more than 2 seconds to look at the drink menu. From there it was down hill. I felt completely rushed the entire time. They continued to as me questions for my brother in law instead of him. When he said he wasn't going to eat anything (because of the service, but he didn't tell them that) she looked at me and said "he's not eating?" I told her he was grown and if that's what he said then yea. Aside from this we RARELY saw the waitress after the food was delivered. Multiple things wrong with our order but nobody to tell. We had 4 under 5 with us who got very grumpy while waiting such a long time for food and service. Finally after all the kids were having meltdowns we had to go up to someone and ask for the check (we'd been done eating about 20 minutes at this time). She gave us the check and then disappeared. The kicker, my sister paid online and we all started walking out and she came running after us like we'd stolen something saying she HAD to confirm we paid before we left. It was ridiculous. The. We get home and see they add 18% on to the check WITHOUT telling us they were doing that. So we had tipped their terrible service and they got 18% meaning they got 28% of a tip on our very expensive bill. Maybe it was a one off and they were just super busy. But the way we were treated was pretty terrible. The cost of it makes me not want to give it a 2nd try.

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.

Special shout out to Steve! His level of service and attention to detail was miles beyond the service I've received at various "high end" restaurants on the strip. The man deserves a raise and then some. I can write a whole list of things he did to go above and beyond but I especially wanted to note he was very attentive without being overbearing, knew to ask if we wanted to place our daughter's food order immediately, and took care of my wife and daughter to ensure their experience was special. Steve recommended I order the Jamaican Me Crazy Pork Chops and so far it has been the best meal I had on the strip this week. Crazy to say the best meal and service was both at Rainforest Cafe but facts are facts. No complaints about the other food items we ordered. It was my daughter's first time and she enjoyed the ambiance with the animals and the changes in the sky (e.g., starry night, thunderstorm, etc.). Again, thanks to Steve for making her first time special.

Totally decent spot to come with your kids while on vacation in Las Vegas. I suggest to come early to avoid crowds (we came ~5:30 on a Tuesday and there was no wait, but by the time we left ~7:00, there was a pretty big crowd). Food is totally fine. There's a lot of it. We spent just about $200 for 3 adults and 1 kid, which is what we expected. The animatronics are a little old, but I think that's probably the case at all locations.

Ive always wanted to check out this place but we don't have one in Sacramento. It's a fun spot where you feel like your dining in the jungle. It's full of cool animaltronics which honestly loom kinda of weird but it adds to its charm. My meal was delicious. Salmon and shrimp and the drinks were good and strong. A 16oz drink even comes with a free souvenir cup. We will definitely be back when visiting

This is a fun experience, especially for kids. The inside has fun decor, with real-life sized elephants. There's also the occasional "thunderstorm", which is fun. The food was good, and the service was good. I'd recommend this place.

This place was awesome. I had so much fun. My waiter was named Damon and he was fantastic. Next time you come in be sure to ask for him and you won't be disappointed. It was a lot of fun in the food was great.

Food: I mean what can you say? You come for the experience right. It's your typical chain restaurant menu with jungle themed names. Rasta Pasta, Mojo Bones, Primal Steak, etc.. The same stuff you find at Applebees but a little better quality. The Blackened Fish Tacos were good, our granddaughter loved her pizza even though it was very basic. The service was great, they accommodated our large party with a smile and made our granddaughter the star of the show. Ambiance is what you come for. The animatronics are dated but still fun for a 4 year old. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Stay away from this particular restaurant, it is managed very very poorly. We walked in to the lobby area and we were immediately confused. They have no one there that is working the store so people are just standing around wondering where to go. Once we figure it out we realize we had to go up another flight of stairs to where the restaurant lobby is. We got there only to find out there's a half hour wait so we asked them if they had a bar and they said they did so we went back downstairs to the bar that there is no one working the bar and literally sat there for 20 minutes without any help. We walked all the way upstairs and the lady said she would send the manager down and the manager never showed up. Literally wasted 45 minutes and never got any food or drinks. There's 100 restaurants within a five minute walk why would you waste your time with poor service and a store that is not managed properly.

Came here for our sons first dinner in Vegas for his birthday trip! We hadn't had Rainforest in a long time!! The food was delicious, we all got different things. Service was great and quick! They brought our son a birthday hat and a birthday dessert! Ambiance is like all other Rainforest Cafe restaurants!
