The 38 Best Restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip

Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar sits in a prime spot between Allegiant Stadium and Mandalay Bay, making it an easy stop whether heading to a game or just soaking in the energy. It’s built for big moments with a massive 30-foot LED screen, a Formula One-inspired serpentine light design, and a crowd that actually cares what’s playing. Sure, it’s a sports bar, but not just for sports: themed cocktails, custom marquees, and dedicated screens turn things like Love Island finales and Beyoncé tour after-parties into full-on events. On quieter days, it’s still a solid choice for polished comfort food. Chef Daniel Ontiveros brings real thought to the menu. The cool, herby lobster rolls — served on the same buttery toast used at sister spot Carversteak — are worth the stop alone. Burgers come stacked with barbecue sauce, crispy onion rings, and roasted jalapeño aioli, while boozy Elvis shakes bring banana bourbon into the mix. —Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest
