From the glittering lights of the Las Vegas Strip to the pristine natural beauty of Lake Tahoe, the views from these 15 Nevada restaurants are absolutely insane.

1. Top of the World

2000 Las Vegas Blvd S., Las Vegas

While there are several restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip with outstanding views, the upscale Top of the World at the Strat Hotel, Casino & Tower stands out for two reasons: One, it’s nestled on the 106th floor of the tallest observation tower in the country, standing 1,149 feet. Two, the dining room rotates 360 degrees in 80 minutes, providing an expansive view of the entire valley while you eat. The view is impressive by day and even more magical at night.

2. Eiffel Tower

3655 N. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas

You’ll swear you’re in France—but with a Vegas view—when you dine at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris Las Vegas. Located in a half-scale replica of the famous Paris landmark at the center of the Las Vegas Strip, the restaurant on the 46th floor overlooks the Bellagio fountains, offering fabulous city views. It’s gorgeous from everywhere in the dining room, but be sure to make a reservation if you want to sit by the window. 

3. Mayfair Supper Club

3600 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas

The world-famous Bellagio Fountains aren’t the only reason the views at Mayfair Supper Club are insane. With live entertainment by talented singers, dancers, and musicians in the dining room there’s always something new and interesting to ogle. Other Bellagio restaurants, including Spago and Lago, are also situated overlooking the fountains, but Mayfair provides a gourmet dinner and a swanky show with the backdrop of soaring fountains.

4. SW Steakhouse

3131 Las Vegas Blvd S., Las Vegas

For prime aged steaks and a prime view, head to SW Steakhouse at Wynn Las Vegas. From the patio, you’ll enjoy light and sound theatrics set upon the three-acre Lake of Dreams, which sparkles with 5,500 LED lights, a 45-foot waterfall, and pine trees. Running every 30 minutes after dark, the show blends state-of-the-art sound, lighting, puppetry, and music. The Lake of Dreams show can also be viewed from the Aft Cocktail Deck and the North Show Terrace.

5. Black Out Dining

3871 S. Valley View Blvd. #8, Las Vegas

At Blackout Dining the view is so insane it doesn’t actually exist (unless you consider the inside of your eyelids a view). Here, you eat a gourmet meal entirely in darkness. Servers in night-vision goggles guide you through the mysterious 7-course dining experience. Since you can’t see, your “view” is up to your other senses.

6. Americana Restaurant

2620 Regatta Dr. Suite 118, Las Vegas

Dine lakeside in Las Vegas at Americana Restaurant, located in the Desert Shores community of Las Vegas. The restaurant serves modern waterfront cuisine, including oysters and lobster, while the manmade Lake Jacqueline serves up gorgeous views, including ducks, geese, and swans. 

7. Marché Bacchus

2620 Regatta Dr., Las Vegas

For French cuisine and Parisian charm, check out the upscale Marché Bacchus. Also located along the tranquil Lake Jacqueline waters, it won’t be long before this bistro makes you forget you’re dining in the desert.

8. Lindo Michoacán

645 Carnegie St., Henderson

While this festive restaurant has four locations, it’s the Henderson location of Lindo Michoacan that stands out for its insane view. An authentic Mexican cantina with a full bar and gaming, this family-friendly restaurant is quaintly tucked into a hill overlooking the entire Las Vegas Valley—especially breathtaking at sunset.

9. Ventano

191 S Arroyo Grande Blvd., Henderson

A longtime Las Vegas favorite, Ventano Italian is a feast for the eyes and the stomach. The atmosphere is fun, the food is fabulous, and sweeping views of the Las Vegas Strip make it feel like an exclusive experience.

10. Lighthouse Coffee Shop

325 Harbour Cove Drive, Suite 121, Sparks

This cool cafe on the Sparks Marina serves coffee, tea, and snacks. You’ll enjoy waterfront views from the nautically-themed, family-owned shop, including snow-capped mountains in the winter and expansive blue skies in the summer. Lighthouse Coffee Shop also offers plenty of people-watching opportunities. 

11. Smith and River

50 North Sierra St., Reno

Dine by the river at Smith and River, a family-owned American Bistro in downtown Reno. Located in the bustling Riverwalk District along the Truckee River, the innovative restaurant has a cozy patio with calming, picturesque river and riverwalk views. After your meal, take a stroll along the riverwalk to enjoy nature, public art, shops, and more.

12. Wild River Grille

 17 S. Virginia St., Reno

Also in the Riverwalk District, the family-owned Wild River Grille is located inside the historic Riverside Artist Lofts Building on the banks of the Truckee River. With decor inspired by its riverside location, the natural atmosphere of the dining room flows seamlessly out to the roomy patio, offering a scrumptious view of the beautifully manicured riverwalk and Truckee.

13. The Shore Room

1 S. Lake St., Reno

Located inside the Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel & Spa, The Shore Room transports you to the Mediterranean with a dazzling patio overlooking the Truckee River. You’ll find innovative recipes and stunning natural beauty, making it hard to say what’s better, the food or the view.

14. Lone Eagle Grille

111 Country Club Drive, Incline Village

Located on the private beach of the Hyatt Regency, Lone Eagle Grille is beautiful inside and out. Though you’re sure to get a closer view of Lake Tahoe’s blue waters from the terrace, the dining room is equally as insane (in a good way) with vaulted ceilings, a two-story stone fireplace, and panoramic windows.

15. Chart House

392 Kingsbury Grade, Stateline

The legendary Chart House has locations on both the west and east coast. The Nevada location at Stateline has a sensational menu and a swoon-worthy view. It sits at the tippy top of a tree-covered hill on Kingsbury Grade, overlooking gorgeous Lake Tahoe. Expect creative seafood and jaw-dropping sunsets.
