Las Vegas is known as Sin City. Like New York, it's the town where no one sleeps. Casinos are open around the clock, world-class restaurants are attached to clubs, and it's the designated location for any bride- or groom-to-be to have their bachelorette or bachelor parties. Las Vegas knows how to have a good time, and celebrities flock to it for special occasions. From Insta-worthy hotels in Sin City to celebrities galore, there are many things to see, do, and experience here.

Of course, you can catch most celebrities at Las Vegas nightclubs, but what about eateries? Food in Vegas is just as prestigious as the nightclubs these days.

Right on Las Vegas Blvd. is STK. This steakhouse is open for dinner every day of the week and is known for its celebrity clientele.

Famed chef Gordon Ramsay is a celebrity in his own right. Gordon and his crazy antics are such a big deal that his cooking competition show, Hell's Kitchen, is filmed inside his restaurant. People come from all over in hopes of running into Gordon or his high-celebrity best friends. And if they don't spot a celebrity, they at least have some delicious food and watch all the chefs at work.

Las Vegas is known as the main event for boxing and wrestling matches. And it appears Andiamo Steakhouse is the place for many of these athletes to stop by and grab a meal. Many WWE divas, TV personalities, and boxers have been seen eating at Andiamo's — and they can even stay there, too, since the restaurant is inside The D Hotel. Handcrafted by Chef Aldo Ottaviani, you can order BBQ shrimp, practically any steak you see fit, and pasta galore.

If you're a fan of pop culture, then you should be aware of Nobu. While they have a restaurant that's frequently visited near LA, they also have a spot in Vegas.

Serving Japanese cuisine inside Caesar's Palace, stars love Nobu's sushi, desserts, and specialty cocktails. And stars like Jennifer Lopez, Miley Cyrus, Chrissy Teigen, and John Legend have all been seen dining at Nobu.

One of the most well-known restaurants on this list, Tao is both a restaurant and a nightclub — being the perfect place for celebrities to host their Las Vegas birthday bash. Tao is pretty exclusive and even has a dress code to be able to walk through the front door.

Celebrities like the Kardashians have had their birthday celebrations at Tao, and models and actresses alike have been seen here eating and celebrating. It's the ultimate spot to eat, drink, and party like a celeb.

In a close race with Tao and Nobu, Mr. Chow is also a celebrity hotspot when traveling in Las Vegas. Chilling inside Caesar's Palace, celebrities and non-celebrities rub elbows as they dine on casual Chinese/American foods.

Many Real Housewives have been seen dining at Mr. Chow, Kim, and Kanye were spotted here for date night, and JLo has also been seen enjoying herself here while performing at her residency in Vegas. This is a fun thing to do in Vegas that won't involve losing money at the slot machines.

Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada

Lavo is an Italian restaurant known for its authentic comfort food meals. It also has the same creator as Tao — which goes to show why so many celebrities choose to eat and celebrate at Lavo.

The Kardashians and friends have been seen dining here, Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson had her birthday at Lavo (as did E! News host Jason Kennedy), Will Smith, Ciara, multiple NBA stars — you name it. Lavo should be high on your list if you're keeping an eye out for celebs. Don't forget those dancing shoes!

Stack is known for their small, high-quality plates. It's also a favorite for many plant-based celebrities, thanks to their vegan menu. You can chow on small burgers, steak frites, wings, and grilled vegetables here before going out for a night on the town.

The Hills star Brody Jenner has ventured to Stack often with his ex-wife Kaitlynn Carter, as has Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima and Scott Disick in his partying days.

2 TOP OF THE WORLD, THE STRAT

Another great restaurant to consider in Las Vegas, towards the end of the Strip, is the Top of the World restaurant at the Strat Hotel & Casino. Here is where A-listers have gone for years, including Wayne Newton, Katy Perry, Criss Angel, Gordon Ramsay, John Legend, and countless others.

It's also interesting because this eatery sits over 800 feet high off the Las Vegas Strip, giving guests some of the area's best city and mountain views. The restaurant slowly spins, so you get a panoramic view of the Strip, as well as catch a few people bungee jumping off the roof (trust us, it's a shocker the first 2-3 times).

Lastly, we have the already iconic Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, located conveniently on the casino floor of Caesars Palace. This is one of the newer eateries and bars on the Strip, offering premier drinks, reality TV star ties, and a twist like no other. Having been here, the atmosphere is incredibly fun, whimsical, and lively throughout the week.

This is a "who's who" type of place on the Las Vegas Strip, one of Caesars' more popular locations for tourists and influencers alike. After all, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump is its creator. Plenty of Bravo celebrities here.
