"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
"The Guest House at Town Square is located smack dab in the middle of Las Vegas, which makes it a convenient meeting point for those who live on opposite sides of the city and for tourists to hit on the way to the airport without stressing. It's become the brunch spot du jour—DJs, live music, sparklers, selfie ops, and beautiful people everywhere you look. The brunch is prix-fixe ($75 per person), with an option to layer caviar or lobster on almost every dish, and an add-on seafood plateau worthy of a top-tier Vegas steak house. We love the chicken and waffles dripping in chili maple butter, and with a little kaluga caviar on top, it's a reason to get out of bed on Sunday morning." - emmy kasten, melinda sheckells, ryan slattery

"A sprawling, 15,000-square-foot Las Vegas outpost with multiple distinct environments—an intimate parlor for sharing charcuterie and wine beneath a pair of nine-foot-long, century-old crystal Egyptian chandeliers and a livelier main dining room centered on a shimmering cylindrical light fixture with a nightly DJ. The menu skews accessible (chicken tenders, steak tartare, beet salad, spicy rigatoni) while also offering exclusive Vegas items such as foie gras French toast and wagyu with freshly shaved truffle." - Janna Karel
"Town Square’s new, sophisticated hotspot is presenting a three-course menu for $125 per person. Choices include halibut croquettes, Peruvian scallop crudo with lychee and lavender, flaming garlic prawns with crispy rice and chorizo, and raspberry chocolate tiramisu." - Emmy Kasten
