7 Top Las Vegas Food Tours

Las Vegas is a foodie’s paradise. There are literally thousands of restaurants in and around the city. It would be nearly impossible for the average person to experience them all in a single lifetime – but Las Vegas food tours make it easier to at least try! Several companies in Las Vegas offer delicious food tours throughout the Strip, Arts District, and Downtown Las Vegas. 

Each food tour offers an entirely different experience. Here is a selection of seven of our absolute favorite culinary tours in Las Vegas that any foodie will love.

This Sin City food tour isn’t just about the nibbles. You’ll also learn a lot about the foodie history of old Vegas, from the early days of buffet carts to the fine dining and celebrity restaurant scene that makes Las Vegas one of the top destinations to enjoy world-class cuisine. 

Las Vegas Strip Foodie Tour by Taste Buzz Las Vegas  

If you love the idea of Las Vegas food tours but like to keep things casual and fun, this Las Vegas Strip Foodie Tour is perfect for you. You’ll explore Las Vegas Blvd but also find spots that many tourists don’t even know exist. The rotation of stops changes frequently, but you might eat at a secret hole in the wall that only the locals know about, or maybe you’ll find your way to one of the best food carts in Vegas while sightseeing along the tour. 

From super casual local food to more elegant eats, your group will enjoy this fun and engaging tour as you eat your way through Las Vegas. As a bonus, you’ll also learn interesting bits of history and fun facts about the city during one of the best sightseeing food tours in Las Vegas. 

Savors of the Strip by Lip Smacking Foodie Tours 

The Savors of the Strip Tour is an elevated dining experience and a pure gem among Las Vegas food tours. Along this tour, you’ll visit four of the hottest restaurants on the Strip. Keep in mind that you won’t be visiting just any trendy restaurant. Lip Smacking Foodie Tours promises that your local guide will make sure you’re whisked right past the long line at Las Vegas restaurants that are notoriously difficult to get into. 

You’ll enjoy the culinary wonder of three to four signature dishes at each restaurant along the tour. There’s also an optional beverage package that includes a special cocktail at each location. 

This is a walking tour, so you’ll have the chance to explore some of the sights while working up an appetite for the next stop. This Las Vegas foodie tour promises a VIP experience, but you can take up another notch by adding on the Neon Lights package, which includes a helicopter tour of the Strip and a complimentary champagne toast. 

Off-Strip & Downtown Vegas Foodie Tours 

Art district foodie tour by taste buzz las vegas.

There’s no doubt that some of the most delicious food can be found off the beaten path. This Las Vegas Arts District food tour takes you off of the Las Vegas Strip and into some of the best eateries of the Arts District. 

Taste Buzz Las Vegas offers a casual, walking food tour through the Art District. This district is currently one of the hottest and trendiest areas in Las Vegas and is quickly becoming a favorite spot for anyone who loves food. This food tour will take you on a stroll through the neighborhood, where you’ll stop at up to four different locations for delicious bites of food. The selections are casual, but the flavors are out of this world. 

Tastings at each of the restaurants range from savory to sweet. In between each stop, you’ll learn interesting details about the area’s history from your local tour guides. The tour takes about three hours, and you’ll cover approximately 1.5 miles of the neighborhood (so wear good walking shoes!). This small-group tour is limited to twelve people. 

Downtown Delights Foodie Tour + Helicopter Tour of the Las Vegas Strip by Taste Buzz Las Vegas

If you’re looking for an elevated experience, this Downtown Delights Tour that’s combined with a helicopter tour of Las Vegas Blvd is over-the-the-top and definitely one of our choices for the best food tours. 

Taste Buzz will take you on a tour of Downtown Las Vegas, where you’ll stop at up to five local restaurants and enjoy samplings of one to three dishes at each. While the dishes are described as “small bites”, one could easily argue that this tour will leave any Las Vegas foodie fully satiated. As you stroll from restaurant to restaurant, you’ll also stop at some of the must-see attractions in Downtown Las Vegas. These include the iconic Golden Nugget Hotel and a light show at the Fremont Street Experience. 

Once your Downtown Las Vegas food tour is complete, you’ll hop in a luxury limo that will then take you to where you’ll board the helicopter for an aerial tour of the Strip. The entire tour lasts about six hours, and at the end, the limo will drop you off back at your hotel or another destination of your choosing. 

Las Vegas Segway Foodie Tour by Segway Las Vegas

There are a lot of walking tours in Las Vegas, but if you really want to see the sights and go easy on your feet, a Segway is definitely the way to go. Segway Las Vegas, which offers multiple tours of the city, led by a local guide, has added a culinary tour to their list, and we couldn’t be more excited. 

You’ll spend about 2.5 hours floating through the city on your Segway and stopping for delicious eats along the way. This is a great food tour for those who love to discover the hidden gems and discover the standouts that all the locals love. 

 Along this guided tour, you’ll sample small bites from unique local Vegas restaurants and enjoy all the fun of riding a Segway through the entertainment capital of the world. Restaurants and food choices rotate every few months, so even if you’ve tried this tour in the past, chances are there’s an entirely new experience waiting for you. 

Taco Lovers E-Scooter Downtown Foodie Tour by Atomic Scooters Rental & Tours  

It would be negligent to talk about all the Las Vegas food tours and not mention this tour that’s entirely devoted to one of our favorite foods – tacos! Hop on a scooter and get ready to enjoy tacos as you’ve never had them before on this favorite of Las Vegas tours . 

Atomic Scooters will take you on a guided tour that explores Downtown Las Vegas and the Arts District. Your group will visit two taco shops known for their incredible food, where you’ll enjoy 2-4 tacos at each stop. The food has been preselected for you, but there’s also the option to create your own culinary experience. There’s also a stop at a chocolate shop for dessert, just to sweeten the deal. 

Tours last a little over two hours and include two complimentary photos of your group. Food must be preordered. This is one of the most economical food tours on our list, but part of the reason that the price is lower is that additional charges for the food may apply. Tours run daily and make multiple stops throughout the downtown area. 

An Easy Guide to Choosing the Best Food Tours In Las Vegas 

With a culinary scene that never stops, there’s no shortage of food tours to enjoy while you’re in Las Vegas. Of course, they each have something a little different to offer, so here are the main points to consider when choosing the best food tour to satisfy your foodie appetite. 

Location, Location, Location 

Food tours in Las Vegas are generally divided into two categories – on the Las Vegas Strip and off. Food tours on the Strip are great if you’re staying in one of the main hotels and really want to stick to that area. Food tours of the Strip feature all sorts of types of food, from food carts and local eats to fine dining and restaurants by celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Giada de Laurentiis. 

Downtown food tours in Las Vegas tend to be more eclectic, which matches the atmosphere of the downtown area and the Arts District. A downtown tour might take you to vintage Vegas spots or hidden gems that mostly only the locals know about. Downtown food tours also give you the opportunity to do a little sightseeing at some of the most well-known spots, like Container Park and the Fremont Street Experience. 

The Food 

Of course, you want to know that you’re going to love the food before signing up for any food tours in Las Vegas. Many food tour companies are a little secretive about where exactly they’ll take you on the tour. After all, the suspense is part of the fun! Still, you should be able to get a good idea of if the food will be casual and traditional, upscale and eclectic, or anything in between. 

If you have any special dietary considerations, make sure that you contact the company directly to ask if any accommodations can be made. Some food tours in Las Vegas do what they can to accommodate special dietary needs, but this isn’t always possible. 

Always make sure you’re familiar with the rules of any food tour you attend. Most are open to all age groups, but some do have age restrictions – especially those food tours that involve scooters or Segways. 

There may also be extra charges for beverages or add ons. Many food tour companies suggest you bring along extra money to pay for cocktails or extras that you might want during your experience. Often the only beverage that’s included is water, so plan accordingly if you’d like something more. 

It’s also a good idea to inquire about free cancellation and what happens if you leave the tour early. You’ll likely find that free cancellation is available given an ample amount of advanced notice, but each tour has its own policies.

As a local, sometimes I need to be reminded of how great my city is and Taste Buzz Food Tours did just that. All the restaurants I visited I had never been to before and the food was out of this world delicious.

Mandi W. Facebook

Ayesha was a great tour host, she provided a ton of details about the history of LV as well as info about places to check out while we were here. Ayesha gave us recommendations that were catered to what she thought we would like. The food was great and we loved everything, wasn’t too much for us although we felt like we needed a nap halfway through! Thank you for all the info and for Ayesha’s great energy!

This has to be the best food tour I could’ve ever hoped for. This tour was the real deal, seemingly much better than the other ones I’ve seen advertised for 2-3x the price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, and I will definitely use this company again personally! Thanks for the memories, Taste Buzz!

Victory B. Google

This was a delicious tour! Well-paced and well thought out. I was worried we were going to only go to tourist traps but not at all!

Las Vegas started as a cowboy town. When the Hoover Dam was built, it became a gambling destination. Not long after, the general tourist crowds followed. The dining scene too has grown from afterthought coffee shops and buffets to celebrity chef-helmed meccas and so-called “Gourmet Rooms” galore. Today, Las Vegas covers just about every genre of food imaginable at every price point. Here’s a guide to help you dig in where it matters.

Welcome to Celebrity Chef Land

Nowhere in the world can you find as many celebrity chefs in one compact space as in Las Vegas. More than 40 big-name chefs have hung their shingles at one of the resorts along the Strip, giving tourists who visit Sin City every year an ample variety of very good and very splashy places to dine.

If you’re in the market for a fancy dinner, there’s sushi from Nobu Matsuhisa at Caesars Palace and Virgin Hotels . Grab truffle and artichoke soup at Guy Savoy ’s namesake French restaurant at Caesars Palace. You can also go all in with steaks and a pre-nightclub party scene at STK at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas . See what all the table-side service is about at Carbone at Aria .

And 2024 has thus far introduced even more big names in Las Vegas. Wolfgang Puck closed Lupo at Mandalay Bay after more than 20 years, transforming the space into Caramá . Former Dallas Cowboys running back and Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith opened his long-awaited 30,000-square-foot Emmitt’s Vegas . Chef Michael Mina draws on the cuisines of Greece, Egypt, and the surrounding Mediterranean regions with his new restaurant, Orla . And, a name unto itself, Italy’s All’Antico Vinaio set up shop in Vegas.

But Las Vegas is so much more than fancy dinners, too. Catch breakfast, lunch, or dinner at the legendary Peppermill , or gorge on some of the best tacos in the city at Tacos El Gordo with its long fast-service lines.

Start on Eater Vegas' Best Maps

Eater publishes tons of different maps and guides that detail the top places and things to eat and drink in Las Vegas. Below, we cherry-pick the most important points from some of our most popular maps.

Hot Restaurants: The hottest restaurants in Las Vegas right now include chef Evan Funke’s Mother Wolf at the Fontainebleau, Kame Omakase in Chinatown, Chef JD Flores’s Mexican restaurant Milpa , James Beard Award nominee Aroma Latin American Cucina , and Nicco’s Prime Cuts & Fresh Fish at the new Durango Casino.

Essential Restaurants: When you need to narrow down the Essential 38 , hit up Raku for extraordinary Japanese small plates served late, Herbs and Rye for its Old Vegas charm, Vetri Cucina for some of the best Italian fare in the city, and Other Mama , the raw bar and casual libation spot on the west side. On the Strip, you can never go wrong with Joël Robuchon at the MGM Grand (if you have deep pockets), Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at the Sahara, or Wolfgang Puck ’s Spago with its stunning views of the Fountains at Bellagio .

Pizza: Tony Gemignani dominates the pizza scene in Las Vegas with two Pizza Rocks , the gems of the pizza map . On the Strip, head to The Pizzeria (a.k.a. “ Secret Pizza ”) at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for late-night cravings. Downtown, seek out slices at both Good Pie and Evel Pie . Or seek out Pizzaiolo John Arena’s New York pizza at Metro Pizza.

Sushi: The most essential sushi spot on our sushi map ? Yui Edomae , where Gen Mizoguchi uses fish flown in from Japan for his omotenashi style of serving nigiri and omakase, or one of the toughest reservations to get, Kabuto . Of course, Nobu Matsuhisa and Masaharu Morimoto have locations on the Strip.

Beer: If you only go to one Las Vegas-area brewery , make it CraftHaus , the go-to for local restaurants that want a special beer made just for them. And make a night of popping into neighboring breweries like Hop Nuts , Nevada Brew Works , and HUDL Brewing Company .

Bars and Lounges: Your best bet for a great cocktail? Downtown Cocktail Room with its expertly made drinks or Liquid Diet for its ever-changing of innovative cocktails. On the Strip, go to Rosina at the Palazzo for Champagne or a secret cocktail menu, or the Chandelier Bar with its three levels wrapped in 2 million beads at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. For beer, head to the Gateway District’s Silver Stamp or Atomic Liquors in Downtown Las Vegas . Consider this a decent starting point on the Essential Bars map .

Steakhouses: It wouldn’t be Las Vegas without a steakhouse in every resort. Standouts include Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at the Sahara, SW Steakhouse at Wynn, Cut by Wolfgang Puck at the Palazzo, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Prime at the Bellagio and Jean Georges at Aria. Las Vegas is one of the few cities where diners can find real Kobe beef .

Brunch: Las Vegas owns brunch , with options available to suit just about every whim. Try Bardot Brasserie for an eggs Benedict riff made with waffles and duck confit or Border Grill for Mexican fare for breakfast.

Las Vegas Food 'Hoods to Know

Sin City has more key areas to eat than the Strip. Here are all the neighborhoods every self-proclaimed food lover needs to get acquainted with — complete with what to eat and drink in each.

The three and a half miles of the Strip is the most egalitarian, all-encompassing, and high-quality eating arena in any major North American city. Graze from the most insane multi-course menu you can find at é by José Andrés to inexpensive eats to fashionable restaurants where you can see celebrities on the regular. Dine on real Kobe beef at SW Steakhouse at Wynn Las Vegas , or Bazaar Meat at the Sahara, three of a handful of restaurants nationwide that serve this buttery Japanese treasure.

Want to try some true Vegas flavors with a solid meal without the big bill? Head to Downtown Las Vegas and the Fremont East district , the walkable and more approachable neighborhood in Las Vegas, where some of the biggest growth in the restaurant industry has taken place. In 2012, only Le Thai brought diners outside the canopy of the flashier Fremont Street Experience with its smaller casinos. Since then, more restaurants opened, bringing everything from ramen and sushi to vegan and late-night fare. Discover American eats at Carson Kitchen , great breakfast fare at Eat , an all-night cafe at Siegel’s 1941 , and so much more.

This neighborhood’s name is misleading as just about every type of Asian fare can be found here. Some of the city’s best Japanese restaurants reside here, including the izakaya Raku , Monta Ramen , Thai food sensation Lamaii , and the modern eatery Sparrow & Wolf . This map calls out the best of Chinatown.

Las Vegas Glossary of Terms

Joël robuchon :.

French chef Robuchon earned the nickname Chef of the Century for his 32 Michelin stars worldwide. In 2005, he came out of retirement to open Joël Robuchon and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon at the MGM Grand . These two restaurants represent the only places in the United States to eat his exquisite food, which is worth every penny. His namesake restaurant features degustation menus and carts galore with bread, tea, dessert, cognacs, and more, while L’Atelier, the workshop, has bar seating to watch the chefs in action. Robuchon died in August 2018 at the age of 73.

Gordon Ramsay:

The shouty chef is probably best known for his television shows such as Hell’s Kitchen . Originally from Scotland, Ramsay brought Gordon Ramsay Steak to Vegas in 2012 (order the beef Wellington). He followed those up with Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Palace with its Piccadilly Circus theme, Gordon Ramsay Burger at Planet Hollywood Resort with a wall of flames, Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips at The Linq Promenade, his ode to his television show Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen at the front of Caesars Palace, and his latest, Ramsay’s Kitchen.

Wolfgang Puck:

The Austrian chef who hawks his wares on HSN has six restaurants in Las Vegas. He ushered in the era of celebrity chefs on the Strip when he opened Spago at the Forum Shops at Caesars with his salmon pizza and California fare in 1992 and then made the move to the Bellagio in 2018. His restaurant Cut at the Palazzo is often considered one of the best steakhouses in Las Vegas.

Emeril Lagasse:

This chef from New Orleans is perhaps best known for his interjections of “Bam!” Lagasse’s oldest restaurant, Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House at the MGM Grand puts the chef’s Creole cooking in the spotlight while Delmonico Steakhouse at the Venetian has one of the best books of whiskeys in Las Vegas.

José Andrés:

The Spanish-born chef took Las Vegas by storm with his stellar multi-course tasting experience é by José Andrés inside Jaleo , his tapas restaurant at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. He also has China Poblano , a twist on Chinese and Mexican fare at the resort, along with Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at the Sahara, one of the best steakhouses in the city.

Culinary trailblazers back in the 1940s found a way to keep gamblers inside the resorts with cheap food, and lots of it. El Rancho Vegas, the Strip’s first resort, came up with the chuck wagon, the earliest version of the modern-day buffet to turn up in Las Vegas. Those early chuck wagons might have served some hot dishes along with cold cuts. El Rancho Vegas’ Buckaroo Buffet only charged a dollar for all-you-can-eat fare when it opened. The pandemic closed the 70-plus Las Vegas buffets inside casinos, and several have returned , including three of the best — the Buffet at Wynn , Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace.

Shrimp Cocktail:

The shrimp cocktail earned its place in Vegas dining lore when casinos put it on the menu for 50 cents to lure gamblers in 1959. Jack Binion’s Steak has one for $26.95. And Saginaw’s Deli at Circa has one for $12. Other places might have cheaper shrimp cocktails (Think the Horizon Cafe at Skyline Hotel & Casino on Boulder Highway with its 24-hour $2.25 version.)

Long before the celebrity chefs took over the Strip, Las Vegas relied on cheap prime rib to drive diners into the restaurants and have enough money left over to keep gambling. That era kicked off in 1942 with The Last Frontier, which served “juicy rich prime ribs of Eastern steer beef, cooked in rock salt, served from the cart at your table with Idaho baked potato with chives, tossed salad, rolls, and coffee” all for $1.50. For more on where to eat prime rib, check out this map .

Gourmet Rooms:

Gourmet rooms got their start in the early ’60s, focusing on French cuisine, seafood, Italian dishes, or steak. The first, the Sultan’s Table at the Dunes, came before places such as the Delmonico at the Riviera, the Dome of the Sea at the Dunes, the Candlelight Room at the Flamingo, the Regency Room at the Sands, and Le Gourmet Room at the Tropicana. Chefs came from the Ritz in Paris and Savoy in London. Head down to South Point to dine at the last one standing — Michael’s Gourmet Room — for romantic booths, table-side service, captains serving, and a romantic dining room straight out of that bygone era.

Reservations To Make in Advance

Consider booking reservations for these hard-to-get-into restaurants: Restaurant Guy Savoy ; é Bar by José Andrés ; Raku ; SW Steakhouse ; Lotus of Siam ; Eiffel Tower Restaurant ; Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen ; Kabuto ; Spago ; Vanderpump Cocktail Garden ; Ping Pang Pong ; Bacchanal Buffet .
