Las Vegas breakfast runs from the Strip's fanciest brunch tables to neighborhood institutions that have fed locals for decades. This is the guide to eating the day's first meal well, at every price.
Where to eat,
start to finish
Brunch is the city's most social meal, and Las Vegas does it at scale: fountain-view patios, hotel-table tea service and endless mimosa deals.
The locals' rule: the best breakfasts live off the Strip, except when they are at Bouchon.
The Paris patio with the Bellagio fountain view: the definitive Strip brunch table.

Wynn's quiet breakfast room: elegant, calm and worth the resort price.
The tower-high pancakes and sage fried chicken: absurd portions, deep loyalty.

For the occasion, Mon Ami Gabi's patio and Bouchon's room are the tables to book. Both fill fast on weekends, so reservations open early and go quickly.
The hack: weekday mornings at the same rooms are calm, cheaper and just as delicious.
The locals' breakfast
Off the Strip, the valley's neighborhood spots are where the quality-to-price ratio peaks: Omelet House, EGGscellent and the breakfast cafés scattered through Summerlin and Henderson.
Ask any local for their neighborhood spot and you will understand why the Strip is not the only game in town.
Moving to Las Vegas? The food is part of the decision.
When clients relocate, the dining scene is one of the best ways to feel out a neighborhood. I can point you to the restaurants that make each corner of the valley home.
