We’re so close to the end of 2025 but before we start looking ahead to 2026, lets check out some of the newest restaurants that have opened in Las Vegas in November 2025.
Nom Wah
Nom Wah, New York City’s original dim sum institution, is finally landing in Summerlin with its first West Coast location at JW Marriott Las Vegas and Rampart Casino. Locals can expect classic Cantonese-style dim sum, handmade dumplings, and “greatest hits” from more than 100 years of recipes and NYC Chinatown history. The room leans moody and nostalgic-vintage woods, mosaic floors, and red barstools with a busy big-city feel-but the food stays approachable and familiar. If you want legit dim sum without driving to the Strip, this is going to be one of the key spots on the west side of Vegas.
ai Pazzi
Ai Pazzi brings celebrity chef Fabio Viviani’s Italian cooking to Summerlin with a polished, yet comfortable dining room inside Rampart Casino at The Resort at Summerlin. The menu leans into handmade pasta, fresh seafood, and rich entrées, including wagyu meatballs, squid ink frutti di mare, and orecchiette with spiced duck sausage. It feels more “night out” than quick bite, with cocktails and desserts built for lingering at the table. For locals who want a classic Italian dinner with a bit of Vegas flash, this is one of the new headliners on the west side.
Cafe Landwer
Cafe Landwer brings a Middle Eastern café feel to Boca Park, with a menu that runs from shakshuka and schnitzel to mezza platters and house-baked breads. The space has a modern, relaxed vibe, making it an easy hang for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or happy hour. You’ll find strong coffee, fresh juices, cocktails, and plenty of options for vegan and gluten-free diners. It’s a solid go-to on the west side when you want something lighter, fresher, and a little different from the usual brunch spot.
High Steaks Vegas
High Steaks looks like a classic Vegas steakhouse at first glance, but the menu goes way beyond the usual cuts. Alongside porterhouses and New York strips, you’ll find a “hunt” section with elk, boar, bison, and a “lion” entrée built around lion’s mane mushrooms, plus big seafood towers and an airy pumpkin spice soufflé for dessert. The room sits high above the city with 180-degree views of the Strip and valley, leaning into that special-occasion feel without losing the steakhouse comfort factor. With local chef James Trees involved, it’s a strong pick when you want a serious steak night that doesn’t feel like every other chophouse in town.
F1 Arcade Las Vegas
F1 Arcade at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace is built for anyone who wants the F1 experience without ever stepping foot on the actual track. The massive two-story venue packs in 87 racing simulators, a 41-foot Champagne bar, and an outdoor terrace overlooking the Strip, blending high-energy gameplay with a full nightlife setup. The menu leans into shareable plates, a raw bar, burgers, tacos, and over-the-top desserts, backed by classic cocktails, original signatures, and a full “Designated Driver” mocktail list. It’s an easy pick for groups, date nights, or pre- and post-race hangs when you want more than just another sports bar.
Zaytinya
Zaytinya at the Forum Shops brings chef José Andrés’ take on Eastern Mediterranean mezze to the Strip, with flavors pulled from Greek, Turkish, and Lebanese cooking. The menu leans into shareable small plates like harissa-spiked hummus, fire-roasted baba ganoush, grilled octopus, lamb chops with pea tzatziki, kebabs, and flatbreads. It’s built for groups who want to graze, talk, and keep the drinks flowing instead of committing to one big entrée. For a splurge, there’s a chef’s experience menu with optional wine pairing that lets you work through the greatest hits in one visit.
Naughty Patty’s
Naughty Patty’s at Block 16 Urban Food Hall inside The Cosmopolitan is a retro-style burger counter that leans all the way into the smash burger trend. The menu stays tight: thin, lacy-edged patties made from a chuck-and-brisket blend, grilled cheese, and loaded hot dogs, plus golden fries on the side. For something sweet, they’re pouring thick concretes with throwback toppings like Oreo and strawberry shortcake. It’s a quick, guilty-pleasure stop when you’re roaming the casino and want a classic diner fix with a little Vegas attitude.
Bottled Blonde
Bottled Blonde is a three-story bar, restaurant, and rooftop party spot sitting right on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo, marked by its giant blonde pin-up and beer bottle. Inside, it’s wall-to-wall energy: 20,000 square feet, more than 40 TVs for game days, multiple bars, open-air seating, and a menu built around pizzas, burgers, and shareable bites like Parmesan truffle fries. Daytime leans sports bar hangout with big screens and cold drinks; at night, DJs, bottle service, and packed crowds push it into full club mode. If you want one place on the Strip where a casual meet-up can easily turn into an all-nighter, this is it.
Gjelina
Gjelina, the Venice favorite, now has a Strip outpost on Restaurant Row at The Venetian, bringing its California-Mediterranean style to Vegas. The menu leans heavy on shareable dishes and vegetables done right: hamachi crudo, burrata toasts, roasted Brussels sprouts, radicchio salads, and wood-fired pizzas that feel like a grown-up upgrade over the usual chains. Larger plates like crispy duck confit and lamb shoulder with flatbread are built for splitting across the table. One thing to know going in: they don’t do menu changes or substitutions, so this is a “trust the kitchen” spot, not a have-it-your-way one.
COTE Vegas
COTE at The Venetian brings a Korean steakhouse twist to the classic Vegas steakhouse night out. The vibe is lively and interactive, built around top-tier beef like A5 wagyu from Kobe, Sendai, and Miyazaki, plus signature dishes such as steak-and-eggs tartare on toasted milk bread with caviar. Drinks are taken seriously, with a deep 1,200+ label wine list and polished cocktails to match the meat. It’s a strong choice when you want a splurgey, high-energy dinner that still feels refined.
BOA Steakhouse
Boa Steakhouse is back in Las Vegas, bringing its polished steakhouse game to town after more than a decade away. The menu hits all the familiar notes: 40-day dry-aged New York strip, tomahawk steaks, Japanese A5 wagyu, seafood towers, and caviar service—backed by a strong raw bar. Sides lean rich and classic, with truffle mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, roasted asparagus, creamed spinach, and a tableside Caesar. It’s a clear fit for date nights, client dinners, or whenever you want the full “old-school steakhouse, new-school polish” experience.
Howlin’ Ray’s
Howlin’ Ray’s, the cult-favorite hot chicken shop from L.A., has landed inside the Venetian’s new food hall with its famous Nashville-style heat. Expect thick slabs of fried chicken in craggly, crunchy batter, with spice levels ranging from mild to “what did I just do to myself.” The sandwich is the move here: juicy chicken, slaw, pickles, and sauce on a buttery bun. If you’ve seen the lines in L.A., you already know this is a must-hit for fried chicken fans on the Strip.
Nomikai
Nomikai at The Venetian is built around the Japanese idea of a drinking party, with food and plenty of drinks fueling the night. Up front, a quick-service counter handles grab-and-go sushi, poke bowls, and roll boxes for anyone heading to the convention center or the Sphere. If you stay a while, you can slide up to the sushi bar for sake and nigiri, then follow the dim, nautical hallway into a hidden speakeasy in the back. There, the mood shifts to low lighting, Japanese-inspired textures, and whiskey-forward cocktails that feel very “only in Vegas.”
Pachi-Pachi
Pachi-Pachi is a hidden izakaya-style lounge in downtown Las Vegas with a moody, future-tech, neon-soaked vibe built around music, cocktails, and late-night snacks. The menu leans into Japanese bar food: spicy noodles, hand rolls, karaage, gyoza, egg salad and katsu sandos, plus fried deviled eggs and a must-try pub-style burger griddled in Japanese beer cheese. Behind the bar, you’ll find whiskey sours done right, highballs, and more adventurous options like a kimchi- and nori-infused martini. It feels less like a standard bar and more like a listening room where you stay for a full night, not just a drink.
