The Biggest New Las Vegas Restaurant Openings, August 2025
Las Vegas's dining scene moves quickly — powerhouse casinos usher in new behemoths with Champagne and sparklers while off-Strip restaurants continue to open doors in homey neighborhood strip malls. Here is a list of new and notable spots that opened in Las Vegas recently. For the best restaurants in town, check out Eater Las Vegas's Essential 38 or Eater's guide to eating and drinking in Las Vegas. Max Milla The Cosmopolitan is once again home to a burger joint. A year after Holsteins' closure made way for the moody, fire-lit modern Mexican restaurant Amaya, Naughty Patty's has taken over a stall in the Block 16 Urban Food Hall, near China Poblano. This retro-style spot leans into the smash burger trend, serving a focused menu of burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, and loaded hot dogs. The signature burger features a blend of ground chuck and brisket, smashed thin and lacy with crisp caramelized edges. For dessert, thick concretes arrive swirled with nostalgic toppings like Oreo and strawberry shortcake. Louiie Victa A space adjacent to Superfrico is just big enough for 50 visitors — plus a handful of dinner party 'guests' who may roll, drop, or swing into the room. Speigelworld's new venture is a supper club-style experience that blends the Italian food from Superfrico with talent from the group behind Absinthe and Atomic Saloon. A three-course dinner includes appetizers like tuna tartare or salad with Calabrian ranch dressing, mains like seared mushroom gnocchi with black truffle or six-ounce prime filet with roasted bone marrow sauce, and dessert of tiramisu or rice pudding. Throughout dinner, expect hijinks from the night's host, acrobats who perilously balance atop one another, and a performer who achieves impossible feats with soap bubbles. Ai Pazzi Fabio Viviani, the crowned 'Fan Favorite' of Top Chef, brings his restaurant empire to Las Vegas with Ai Pazzi in Summerlin. Located at the JW Marriott Las Vegas, Vivianni's restaurant is traditional Italian with touches of Vegas glam — like the chef's signature meatball — upgraded with wagyu and rich tomato sugo, orecchiette pasta tossed with spiced duck sausage, and a frutti di mare squid ink pasta in a briny mix of clams, mussels, and shrimp in lobster broth. The restaurant is part of JW Marriott and Rampart Casino's $75 million renovation, which will include a pizza counter adjacent to the restaurant and an Italian-style Oyster Bar later this summer. Street Food by Weera Thai Weera Thai already operates four locations where it highlights vibrant dishes originating from the Northeastern region of Thailand. The family first opened in Weera Larb Ped in Chiang Mai more than 40 years ago. But its newest venture is Street Food by Weera Thai. Here, popular dishes make the menu alongside new specialties like khao mok kai with tender spiced chicken and crispy onions, served with a spicy and sweet chutney. It's located in a casual space near Golden Steer — its purple flowers and duck mural are visible from the windows. Rare Society In San Diego, Rare Society is known for its dramatic steak boards — dry-aged cuts arranged and accented with bearnaise, horseradish, and buttery bone marrow. The Southern Californian steakhouse from chef Brad Wise and Trust Restaurant Group is now open at Uncommons in Southwest Las Vegas in a swanky dining room. Think with cozy booth seating tucked between wood-slat partitions, soft ambient lighting, and a glossy bar that feels classic Vegas. An eight-ounce cut of Denver-cut wagyu from Snake River Farms is an impossibly marbled shoulder cut. It's — tender and flavorful with a deliciously charred crust courtesy of the Santa Maria ranchero-style grilling over white oak. The sides are each enough to share, but with choices like crunchy pickled onion rings, potatoes au gratin with black truffle, and wood fired broccolini with za'atar, lemon, and sumac yogurt, it's worth double or tripling up. Golden Boy Market and Deli This new Henderson deli and specialty market turns out sandwiches on crackly, golden baguettes from French bakery Bridor. The menu features items like a chicken Caesar salad sandwich with chile crisp and breadcrumbs or a stacked deli combo of salami, chorizo, roast pork, and cheddar with Kewpie mayo. The market also stocks tinned fish, semola flour, and olive oils, making it a charming stop for lunch and pantry upgrades alike. Not a Damn Chance Not a Damn Chance started in Austin, Texas, as a collaboration between pro skateboarder Neen Williams and chef Phillip Frankland Lee of Scratch Restaurants Group. Now, it's landed at Resorts World as a temporary 24-hour pop-up. The signature burger features a wagyu patty topped with grilled onions, American cheese, pickles, jalapeños, and a house-made secret sauce on a toasted potato roll. Fries come loaded with cheese, pickles, and more sauce, while a Vegas-only breakfast burger adds bacon and a fried egg to the mix.

Spiegelworld Launches a New Circus-Style Dinner Show in Las Vegas
The creators of Absinthe and Diner Ross are back with a new experience that blends an Italian prix fixe menu with jaw-dropping circus acts, all wrapped up in the context of an over-the-top dinner party. The Party debuts at the Cosmopolitan on Thursday, July 10 with dinner from neighboring Superfrico and performances by Spiegelworld's acrobats and artists. With space for just 50 guests a night, it's designed to celebrate birthdays, weddings, divorces, or anything that calls for a party. In late 2023, Spiegelworld closed the OPM (formerly Opium) variety show in the theater next to Superfrico at the Cosmopolitan. 'OPM never really matched,' says Ross Mollison, the founder of Spiegelworld. 'There was this restaurant that was Italian American, and then there was this crazy outer space show.' When Superfrico took over the Rose Rabbit Lie space in 2021, it brought in chicken Parmesan, tableside hand-pulled mozzarella, and roving circus performers. It's a take on the dinner theater — with hosts escorting guests to their tables, sidestepping interstitials of sparring ballerinas and teams of jugglers. 'I've always had the feeling that Vegas didn't want dinner theater,' says Mollison, recalling the five-hour dinner-and-a-show marathons he experienced in Germany. But when a space near Superfrico became available, he reconsidered. 'Maybe I was wrong and Vegas is actually the perfect market to put entertainment together with dining.' Louiie Victa The Party serves a three-course menu from chef Mitch Emge, who preps the food in the Superfrico kitchen. It comes with appetizers like tuna tartare or salad with Calabrian ranch dressing, mains like seared mushroom gnocchi with black truffle or six-ounce prime filet with roasted bone marrow sauce, and dessert of tiramisu or rice pudding with blueberry compote and lemon curd. As guests dine, the show unfolds: classic circus acts — like one acrobat balancing impossibly atop another — share the spotlight with more unexpected moments, including a soap bubble performance by Denis Lock. In OPM, he turned bubble-blowing into a hypnotic spectacle using smoke and straws to create bubble cubes and shimmering orbs. Lock's act 'is my favorite in the world,' says Mollison. 'It's a 10-minute act. It was just too long for the pace of that show. But in this environment, it's just glorious.' Another highlight is the return of the Circus Automaton, a custom-built tableau mécanique featuring two-dimensional circus scenes that glide and rotate across a tabletop stage in precise, whimsical choreography. The supper club format isn't exactly new in Vegas. Delilah and Mayfair Supper Club have long blended dinner service with musical performances in lavish, scene-stealing dining rooms. Superfrico brought a circus twist to the same idea. Even Tournament of Kings with its jousting knights and roast chicken, and the Marriage Can Be Murder comedy-mystery mainstay have delivered their own takes on dinner theater for years. But the Party pushes the concept one step further — adding a defined call time, high-caliber talent, and a kitchen that can turn out a proper gnocchi. A reason to party, indeed. The Party starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday. The two-hour experience is $150 per person and tickets are available online.
