Dining guide

Dining at casino resorts

From chef-led restaurants to late-night cafés, here is how to find the best meals on a resort trip.

Where to eat

The kinds of venues you will usually find in a casino hotel

Often run by a well-known chef and the hardest table to get. Book as soon as your dates are set, especially for Friday and Saturday.

Good for variety and families. Weekday lunch is usually the best value. Weekend brunch can mean long queues.

Handy for late arrivals and early flights. Menus are simple, but service rarely stops.

Live music lounges are often free to enter. Rooftop bars may charge a cover or need a reservation on busy nights.

Tips

Look off-property. Neighbourhood restaurants a short walk or ride away are often better value than the resort's own venues.
Check for set menus. Many signature restaurants offer an earlier sitting with a fixed-price menu.
Mention dietary needs when booking. Large kitchens can usually cope, but they need notice.
Read the dress code. Some fine-dining rooms still ask for closed shoes or collared shirts.
